Excerpt from The Call of Death

      Abruptly, Paul grabbed my hand, pulling me along the narrow strip of space squeezed between the marsh and dunes. Then he let go and started drawing another circle in the sand around us. He came back over to me. We were close. Our faces almost touching, our breath one. Under that gold moon, I was oddly attracted to him but only at that moment. He instructed, “Make a wish, Hannah.”
      “Wait,” Rory called out uneasily. 
      “This is stupid,” Christian mumbled.
      “I won’t cut myself,” I blurted.
      “Fine, I will.” Paul lowered his head and smiled before a straight line of blood bloomed under the blade. He shook his index finger, and dark drops fell to the sand. I grimaced, but he laughed.  
      “Is this sacrilegious?” I wondered out loud, nervously bringing my hand over my mouth.           
      “How could moonlit ceremonies and bloodletting be sacrilegious?” Rory asked. His voice again dry and sarcastic.
      Christian and I exchanged a glance.            
      Making the sign of the cross, I barked, “You’re crazy. Just wish for something, Paul.” I wanted out of the circle.
      “I did,” Paul answered.       
      My eyes explored their faces. Christian’s mouth melted into a hard frown, and Rory had his signature confused face, eyes squinting and lips slightly parted. It should have worried me, but I didn’t care. I let go.  
      “Me too.” I closed my eyes, concentrating on my wish. Then the world seemed like a collapsing star, and for a millisecond, I swear I floated away.
