Six Sentence Sunday!

http://www.sixsunday.com/Well here we are again, it's that exciting tie of the week where I share a six sentence snippet of my novel FIRE AND ICE, a YA fantasy romance featuring faeries, witches and elves (oh my) (sorry, couldn't resist!)

So now for something not quite so romantic, since the faerie realm isn't all kisses and caresses.....


I was still alive. 
And in one piece. 
For now. 
I tried to pick up the necklace, but my muscles still felt like lead. 
Heavy, numb and impossible to control.
The redcap with the longest talons, approached me cautiously.


Remember to visit Six Sentence Sunday's website to read more enthralling sixes!

    Ooh I do love the fae and yes it can't all be hearts and flowers down there - unless you mean actual bloody hearts and flowers that can kill you!
    Great sentences :)

    Great job! I really like that you haven't made it all hearts and flowers. And as the other said, the short sentences work really well.

    I like the short sentences (adds tension) and the way you separated them on the page. "Redcap with talons" intrigued me. Good six.
    (And thanks for posting on my blog.)

    What's a redcap? With talons? Does the necklace have some special properties? I'm glad I stopped by--great six!

    Thanks so much everyone, for all of your wonderful words! This is great fun! Just to clarify, redcaps are like goblins in the faerie realm who need to soak their caps in the blood of their victims in order to stay alive. Nasty creatures. He approaches Lorelei cautiously because he recognizes that the necklace she dropped holds powerful magic for the wielder. Thanks again!
