Welcome
to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors. Here, writers showcase their work
with 8-10 sentences.
This
week, I’ll continue from Grand Master’s Pawn, continuing the action scene where Violet is attacked by a gang of louts. Last week's snippet ended with:
“Blasted pawn, you won’t escape!” he grunted.
“Your filthy voidal Grand Master can’t help you.”
Violet struggled desperately,
kicking backwards as another man slapped her face. She tried to summon a mental
attack, but her mind was fuzzy with confusion.
Hissing in fury, a brown furred
body hurtled against the man gripping Violet. The cat woman from Aman-el had
come to her defense. Snarling, Lira struck her sharp teeth and claws into the
man’s arm. His grip loosened, and Violet writhed agilely out of his grasp. Lira
kicked him in the crotch, and he doubled up, clutching at his groin. One man
was still standing. Violet grabbed his long greasy hair and wrenched him off
balance, emoting rage. He stumbled, took one look at her wild face, and ran
off, yelling.

Excellent save! An unlikely ally, and a close shave. Thank you for sharing Aurora
ReplyDeleteThe book's theme is that Violet wins by making friends.
DeleteI knew I liked that cat woman when I met her a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for posting, Aurora!
ReplyDeleteYes, she doesn't get much action in Book 2. I plan to give her a more important role in Book 3 (in progress).
DeleteGreat action and a cool ally. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's possible, but you may want to consider opening up your comments to profiles other than google. I didn't comment last week because I didn't see WordPress (my usual platform) on your list and this week I signed into google and lost the comment that I had already written. I'm probably the only one who has trouble (not good with these kids of things;). Just a though to make it easier on your readers.
Sometimes I have trouble with WordPress sites. I'll look into it. Thanks for telling me.
DeleteThank goodness for Lira! Well described fight scene, very intense. Great excerpt...
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope my main characters are as likeable, or at least interesting.
DeleteGreat action writing! It was easy to visualize. . I like Lira--you've really written her well. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat action, very each to follow.
ReplyDeleteEspecially since I have no real life experience! It's a writer's job to describe what they can imagine.
DeleteGreat action sequence! I knew I liked cat woman for a reason. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHer Grand Master is neat too - a plantoid you can meet in Book 2.
