Description:
Lauren Madison’s
life started unraveling at a speed too fast for her to keep up with. Every
truth she had taken for granted was torn away, and the pieces that were left
painted no clear pictures at all…only more confusion.
The only pillar
of strength in her fragile life was David Wagner, her bodyguard who was placed
in witness protection. But, what had he seen that day, and why couldn’t she
remember?
She had no
choice but to run. And if her life was threatened again, who would be there to
protect her?

Excerpt from Borealis Ardor
“You
shouldn’t be here, Lauren. Leave
quickly.” The voice stopped me in my tracks.
It was David’s voice, in my head.
But, I shrugged it off and walked forward until I saw the new stone and
the rectangle of earth in front of it that had noticeably less pine needles
than the surrounding area.
I
knelt beside it.
“David Alan Wagner. Beloved Son, Brother and Friend.” The lines of the letters were etched deep and
black, contrasting heavily against the light grey stone. I gently lay the roses down and traced the
letters with my finger. There was a
cross carved below the words. I ran my
hand along the entire edge of the top of the stone, feeling the rough edges in
contrast to the freshly polished front and back. I wondered how long the stone had been there. Dad assured me he had taken care of the
funeral expenses, and he must have made sure there was a rush order on the
headstone. There was a fresh bouquet of
white roses lying at the base of the stone and it made me feel deeply saddened
for his family, as well as for him. As
much as dad irritated the living hell out of me with his overprotective
gestures, if I had to disappear forever and have him think I was dead, it would
break my heart. After we lost mom, we
were all the family we had.
I
loved David with my whole heart. Even
though we had only been together for two of the six months that he was assigned
to me, I knew that he was the “one”. I
just knew it. There was no
explanation. And, I was the “one” for
him as well. But, now he was gone, and it
was unlikely that I would see him again, at least not any time soon.
I
reached up to trace the “D” again and saw a strange light flash across the
polished surface of the stone, which I realized with horror to be a set of
headlights.
Who
would be coming to a graveyard at this hour? Besides me of course? Teenagers
with a Ouija board and bottle of Strawberry Hill wine in tow, perhaps?
I could take no chances. I could have been followed.
