Christmas At Ravencrest: A Dark Hero Christmas Short (Reluctant Heroes) - Plot & Excerpts
Michael Fletcher insisted as he eased up on one elbow in the bed and adjusted his position. He grimaced as the pain got the better of him. “Everything is different this year. Everything! Is it so much to ask to have a proper Christmas pudding? ” Elizabeth gazed at her fifteen year old brother with sympathy. He was being irritable and demanding, and it was not his usual temperament. Michael had recently arrived from England to live with them in the West Indies as her husband was to be his legal guardian. And young Michael had been accidently shot. He was shot in the derriere. It started when a convict escaped the indenture compound. He came to the plantation house seeking revenge upon the man who owned his indenture, Elizabeth’s husband, Count Rochembeau. The madman took Michael hostage. During the rescue efforts by the count’s men Michael was hit by the bullet meant for his captor. Fortunately, he was hit in a place that had a great deal of flesh and would heal in a matter of weeks.
