Today I have started working on chapter 2 of my book. Tomorrow if I have time I will be working on the prologue. I realized the other day that one of the stories that I had started to write a couple of months ago would work perfectly for the prologue of this story. So now that I have gotten a little path going for my lovely characters I'll be working on my prologue. Hopefully my husband will be able to help me out with the editing so I can get that posted on here as soon as possible. I will also be working on my list of authors for my blog since I didn't realize that I could actually makes lists on here...which is probably really bad for me since I LOVE to make lists. Anyways here's a few lines from what I have been working on tonight. It's not much but hopefully it will get better as time goes by :)
Cursing inwardly Riley gave up on being quiet and dropped
to the ground behind Emily. Much to his surprise, Emily spun on her toes and
launched the dagger straight at Riley’s heart. With a curse he threw himself
into a roll and landed half a dozen feet to her right in a ready position.

UPDATE: So i have decided that I'm just going to start putting the little tidbits that i write here and there on here. Some of them probably wont be edited and there will be a lot of grammatical errors...but i just write whatever pops in my head and sometimes i put punctuation where it needs to be and well sometimes i don't. From here down will be small pieces that i haven't put in the book yet, but already have plans for :).
Rushing on all fours she crawled as fast as her aching limbs
would let her, each movement sending pain through her limbs. Pain radiated from
her knees and hands as she made her way across the marble floor. Her
destination and staying alive were the only thoughts in her mind.
A screech pierced her ears and for the first time her
thoughts went back to what was happening behind her. Fear plagued her, yet she
paused. Should she go back, what could she even do, every instinct told her to
run but her heart told her to stay, to go back.
Hesitating only long enough to get to her aching, bloody
feet, she turned back to where she knew death awaited her.
Another screech rented the air, or was that a cry of pain? Moving slowly at
first she started back in the direction she came until the screams started to
get louder and closer together. Her instincts still yelling at her to turn back,
she stopped as she came to a tall black pillar.

“I WANT HER NOW!! I don’t care if we have to destroy every
living creature in this maggot infested land I will have her! Do you understand
me? Or do I have to spell it out. If she finds the stone before I do then you
will pay every single last one of you. You don’t want to let me down do you,
Kiltros? That would…prove to be very…fatal for you and that dear wife of
yours.”
“N n no mi mistress. We we wi will f find her mi mistress.
We we p promise.”
-
“Just come with me!”
“I can’t, don’t you understand? If I leave I’ll die and if I
try she will find out. I’m never getting out of here. No matter how badly I
want to go with you I just can’t.”
“How do you know? Have you even tried or did you give up as
soon as you were thrown in here like you always do. I can take you with me, we
can run away right now and she will never find you or me. Please just let me
help you!”
"Do you see that man over there, or what’s left of him?
He was the last person who tried to escape; he only made it a few feet past the
door before he burst into flames. His eyes liquefied in front of me! I watched
as his blood boiled and his brain melted out of his head through his nose! Do
you want me to end up like that? Do you want me to die like him? Do you even
love me enough to leave me here so I can live?”
“I would rather see you dead than in her hands. I would
rather be the one who drives a blade through her heart and watches as her life
slips away. I will not stand here and watch as you disappear from my life
again. You will be free and I will make sure of it.”
“Ha, and how do you plan on doing that? She probably knows
your down here right now and is waiting outside that door as we speak just
waiting for you to try and rescue me. These bars are my prison now and my
salvation. As long as I’m in here she won’t touch me, she can’t. And she knows
it. I may be next to useless but I still have a spell or two up my sleeve.”
“There’s ways for people like me to get in and out without
anyone noticing and I can take you the same way all you have to do is come with
me. Please just let me help you. Stop being so damn stubborn!”
“Stubborn?! I’M being stubborn? Have you looked in a mirror
lately Riley or are you just oblivious as to who your parents are? You just
can’t leave well enough alone. You have to leave and you have to leave me here.
I will not go with you and if you try and take me ill fight you the entire way.
Now get out of my cell. It’s the only thing I have left and I won’t allow you to
sully it with your hopes and dreams. Now leave!
“Sara plea…”
“NO!!! GET OUT!”

“No matter how many times you think life is as tough as it
gets it will throw another lemon at your feet and watch as you try to step over
it without tripping. Never saw a man pause that long just to stare at his
lemon. You would think that he was going to pick it up and just eat it. I
don’t’ know if that’s brains, brawns, or he’s just stupid. But I do know
this…he’s the strongest person I know. Doesn’t take a genius to know that you
gotta watch where you’re going. Maybe someday I’ll be able to strut through
life with that lemon perched on my shoulder showing me just what needs to be
done. Or maybe I’ll be stuck with that little devil of a peeling taunting me
for tripping over it.”
