Hooked on Fire and Amulet, #Bookqw Edge #mfrwhooks

 

This week's excerpt from Fire and Amulet using the #bookqw "Edge" continues last week's post of an early morning exercise interrupted.

Excerpt:

You really shouldn’t antagonize Karst that way, whispered Deneas’ sense of self-preservation. 

But it is fun, another part of her mind answered. Still, she kept at bay the grin that tried to twitch itself into existence.Heartbeats later, she decided she had toyed with her prey long enough. “Very well, another time.” Quick steps took her to the garden wall and the scabbard. A shove slid the sword into place. Without a word, she spun and walked into the house.

She knew the leering Karst followed close behind, but refused to give him the satisfaction of acknowledging his presence. Mentally counting his steps, she waited until she figured he was on the doorstep. A backward kick slammed the door in his face. In the same movement she spun and dropped the wide plank into the lock brackets. 

Karst’s grunt from outside told her that the door stopped at the EDGE of his nose. This time Deneas allowed her smile free rein.
