Astraeus
by Haley Cavanagh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: YA, Sci-Fi, Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
One pre-apocalyptic Earth. One desperate space mission to find a
solution. One unexpected alien.
When
Dr. Sakota Thorell signed onto the mission to scout out a new, habitable
planet, she knew discovering extraterrestrial life was always a possibility.
But she never expected to find an alien adrift in space, nor for that alien to
be so intriguing. Sakota feels an instant and undeniable attraction to
Astraeus, but he represents a million possibilities, and just as many threats.
There are others hunting Astraeus, and his rescue may cost Earth
its last hope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
She
moved to pull away, but the man’s fingers closed over her wrist.
“Let
me go.” She jerked her arm, but he wouldn’t release his grip. She gave him a
cautionary look, and he loosened his fingers, though he still held her. Warning
bells went off. What if he’s not here in peace? But his eyes sparkled impishly.
He seemed to enjoy her skin pressed against his. Maybe he hadn’t been touched
in a while. Or maybe he had a crush. Who knew.
Before
she could extricate herself, the intercom chimed. “Sakota, are you okay?”
“Yeah,
I’m fine. He’s just being friendly—”
The
man’s forefinger trailed along her arm again. She sucked in a breath and shut
her eyes as a series of images flashed through her mind. A high wall made of
stacked stones. A hand spread out to touch the tips of tall, golden wheat of a
field. Multihued buildings in the distance under a purple sky. Children’s
laughter and then screams. She jerked when the images changed. Strange rain,
like metal. Black ships attacking from the sky, horrible screams which rent the
air, death. A gentle brush against her hand again. She inhaled and opened her
eyes. The man searched her, calm and patient. She struggled to see straight,
but her mind spun.
“W-was
that your—”
The
isolation walls shot up. Rutledge burst into the room and advanced like an
angry bear, brutish, immaculate, and combat ready in his black Oceanstone
fatigues. “Let her go,” he snarled.
Rutledge
yanked the man’s hand off her and pushed her aside. She fell to the floor on
her back in a dizzy haze, reeling from the vision. She turned her head. The man
bellowed and tore loose from his restraints. His and Rutledge’s images faded
into one as they collided and fought. Rutledge’s weapon whirred as he strained
to activate it. The rifle propelled over her head and hit the wall.
“Stop.”
Her pleas fell on deaf ears. She closed her eyes.
The
men barged into the room with heavy footfalls and angry shouts. She opened her
eyes, but her vision swirled. The blurred image of the alien lifted Rutledge’s
lieutenant like a kitchen chair and catapulted him in the same direction as the
weapon. “Stop,” she hollered to the men. “Don’t shoot him. He wasn’t attacking
me.”
Another
soldier fell to the floor with a sick thud, holding his stomach. “Yeah? Well,
he’s attacking me.”
The
alien pounced over her, crouching low. He caged her with his body and made a
guttural rumble in his throat, a warning to the men. She turned her head to the
marines, who zeroed their weapons in on them.
