Some small sound alerted Katrina that she wasn’t alone in
the house.
Dear Lord, Charleston was in here, she just knew it! The
feeling was prickling the back of her neck, making the hair feel as if it were
standing straight out from the nape. Another muffled sound came to her ears. He
was in her bedroom. If she could just get to the back door again, she’d be
free!
As Katrina reached the back door, she heard her name called
from the kitchen doorway. The sound, far from stopping her, gave her an added
burst of speed.
Even as she cleared the porch and steps, her mind rejected
the thought of finding the spot in the bushes where she’d entered her yard. Her
main thought was to put distance between herself and the man in the house.
She rounded the corner, heading for the front of the house
and ran smack into a man. Startled, she looked up as his arms closed around
her. Even the pale light from the moon could not hide the evil smile on
Charleston’s face. (From Inherit My Heart by A M Jenner)
