Revenant in Training (Blood and Snow series) (10 page)

Around ten o’clock I went to my room, washed my face, and changed into my flowered, flannel pajamas. Once I was in bed, and Gatsby had situated himself, I turned off the light, and closed my eyes.

Immediately I was whisked away into the other
realm. Her realm. I stood on a
balcony
in a large, white castle. From my position I could see the beautiful countryside.
It was dusk. The descending sun
bathed the landscape in twinkling light. I wore a long dress, the skirts
abundant
, and
they
swished when I moved. The sleeves were short, and the bodice tight. It was a deep burgundy with a dark grey ribbing
. The
shoes I wore pinched as I made my way into the room.

A large headboard rested against the far wall
directly in
the middle
. Lush gold bed coverings, and pillows covered it.
The windows were stained glass. And in one corner was a large, round mirror. I gasped
at its
familiarity. T
his was
the
mirror, the one the wicked Queen
used in the Snow White movie
.
I wondered what would happen w
hen I stepped in front of the mirror
.

The person reflected back at me was stunning, her black hair piled high, her lips a blood red, and skin luminescent as the moon. I turned, and she copied. I lifted my hand, and she did the same.

“It’s me,” I said, awed.

“
My beautiful Queen. You truly are the fairest in the land.”

My hand froze
in midair. The voice was
Christopher’s. I noticed him now, seated in a chair dressed in lavish clothing
. Black pants. Black boots
extended over his knees, and a burgundy jacket that matched my dress.

“What’s goi
ng on?” I asked, watching him
through the mirror’s reflection. He
rose, and my breath hitched. His blond hair
had been combed off his forehead, making his hazel eyes vibrant against his tanned skin. Excitement fluttered through my veins.
More than his
incredible
looks were the
fireworks
bombarding my heart. We belonged together
,
it whispered with each beat.

“Why can I see your face?” I
asked as I
turned
away from the mirror. Hi
s features blurred behind a thic
k darkness, so I could only see his
red eyes. I retu
rned my gaze to the mirror,
checking him out in
the reflection.

He smiled.

“The mirror reveals the truth, Snow.” He came toward me
, stalking me
.
I wondered if there’d ever been more willing prey.

I wanted to taste him
, try his blood
.
Professor Pops words came into my mind.

“
Never drink from the same human twic
e. Never more than ten seconds.”

Christopher took my hands, and led
me to the bed. I didn’t like that
his face was hidden from me
, but my
longing
for him
rocked strong enough so that I dismissed it
. He lay me down, and then he lay down next to me so that we were eye to eye.

“You want me, don’t you?” It was a question, but he knew the answer. I heard it in his voice.

“Yes.”

He tilted his neck
in my direction
, and my fangs grew instantly.
I pressed my lips to his
delicious, warm
throat. His skin parted a
s I
sought his blood. When the first drops touched my teeth, I panted, and sucked
hard
er
. I had
nothing to compare to
the pleasure I experienced
as his blood filled my mouth, ran down my throat, and filled me in ways I never believed existed.
T
o my mind there was
n’t anything
better than that moment
.

After a time,
Christopher
spoke my name. “Snow.” I felt drunk with
his
enchanting
blood as I
lifted my lips from his neck. He smiled, his hazel eyes
iridescent
with hunger. “
Can you see my face?”

I focused, and realized why I thought he
’d
looked familiar. “Charming?”

He
smirked, and
pulled me on top of him. “
My turn,” he said
. I tilted my neck back,
g
iving him full access
, and let out a moan as he drank.

Uneasiness
formed in my belly
, knowing t
he Hunter was
none other than the new guy, Chace Charmin
g—S
alem High Hottie. I remembered
what Professor Pops said about Christo
pher being a master manipulator
, about his magic being able to change things, including the way he looked
.

Chace slash Christopher
must’ve sensed by apprehension. He rolled us,
placing me
under him, his lips never l
eaving
my neck.

I sighed, giving in to the immeasurable pleasure of the moment.

“Christopher,” I whispered, running my fingers thro
ugh his hair, pulling
him ever
closer
.

Afterword

Thank you so much for reading Revenant in Training (Blood and Snow 2).
When I came up with this idea, several people said, “A Snow White retelling with vampires?” Once they heard the details, they fell in love with the idea. I hope you’ve fallen in love with the story, the characters, and the world as I have. And I hope you will continue to read and enjoy each additional volume.

If you loved
Revenant in Training
, do me a huge favor. Go back to
amazon.com

It only takes a couple of minutes, and will help me a great deal.
