Teaser by Brina Courtney

The following excerpt is from Brina’s book, Discovery.

“No silly,” she says, “I can only start it, something with the electricity, I can control it.”  With that she puts her thumb and forefinger together and produces a small blue spark. 

“Umm, that’s not normal.” I say staring at the spot where the energy was just made. 

“You can hardly discuss normal Shay, look who you’re talking to- a ghost, that’s not normal,” she says as a smile plays on her lips. 

Valid point.  I look at her closely, “Yeah but I can’t do anything like that, that’s a little excessive don’t you think?  And doesn’t it drain you?”  I don’t ever remember Jeremy messing with the electricity. 

She looks at me and says honestly, “Not when I’m feeding off of your energy and you’re young so you have lots of it.” 

OK creepy dead child who’s feeding off my energy.  I give her a hard look; children have never attempted to contact me before, why is she coming to me now?  “Wendy, how long have you been lost?”
