The Rise (The Alexa Montgomery Saga) - Plot & Excerpts
The gray world. I only sat now, with my chin resting on my fists, my elbows propped up on my knees. Thinking about the taste of rainwater, wishing some would fall from the gray sky above me, but this was a dry place, a place without life, so I was sure that water played no part in this world. When I woke I would be hungry, and this is what I thought about also, for there was nothing to do in this place but think. When I looked around me at the gray mountains in the distance, the gray dirt under me and the dead sky above, I felt no more fear. The last of that had faded when I’d been here the last time, though I knew that when I woke, I would not remember having been here at all. But I felt now like I had never left. Maybe I hadn’t. Maybe I never would. And these thoughts spurred no emotion in me either, just a resigned sort of peacefulness that I welcomed into my soul. At least when I was here there was nothing for me to destroy, no pulse of energy for me to steal. But admittedly, this disturbed me in some way.
