Excerpt from A Hidden Element
Laura ran to the window. Cold gusts blew in like
stinging daggers on her skin. She looked down at the short drop to the ground.
Part of her wished Charlie had run away. Maybe he went to the forest to let
loose his rage. With all her heart she wished he was in the forest finding
comfort in the darkness.
Anxiety clawed up her throat.
Anxiety clawed up her throat.
“Charlie.” She called to the wind and the dark. Nothing but the forlorn wind
returned her call, taunted her. She ran through every room calling his name.
Sharp pains tore at her abdomen. She doubled over and gasped. Loss welled in
her from the place where her deepest love resided. She wailed with grief as she
searched the house for some sort of sign of where Charlie had gone.
Or who had taken him.
She accepted the truth she had wanted to banish. They were being hunted. And
her son was the first taken. The man in her dreams was real. He had controlled
Ben and tried to kill her using his strength. And he had taken her son. As he
had taken her baby in her dream. Oh, my God! Her baby. He had come back for her
baby.
“Charlie,” she screamed. Something caught her eye on the floor of his room.
Something that didn’t belong in their home. She snatched it up. A leather whip.
Its handle was braided with nine leather strips tied to it. Red tinged the ends
of the strips.
A torture device.
She held it in her shaking hands and closed her eyes, not wanting to see the
images it carried.
But she had to.
For her son.
For Ben.
