Bryan Rainey Interview
Welcome to Ink & Magick. I'm your friendly neighborhood witch. What kind of spell can I get for you (or your character) today?
A Double Chocolatey Chip Frappachino
Umm, I think you may have wanted to stop at the Starbucks down the street...In any case tell me about your book, Metaverse Part Four: Arcanum.
Elise's powers activate one night as Robert Stromhold returns home after years abroad. He was followed by the infamous hunters known as the Immortus Clan...
Excerpt:
THE HUNTERS LOOK UP at the house, then each other. Thor nods his head to the others. Then, each of the burly hunters removes the crossbows from their back. Next each grabs an arrow to load upon the crossbow.
“Lock and load, boys,” Thor says as Elise refuses to go any further. Her arms are crossed and she has a look of rage upon her face.
“I’m not going.” Elise protests as her hand still stings from being cut moments ago to lure out the Stromholds.
“Look, toots,” the large burly blond hunter tells the waitress gruffly. “These people are dangerous.”
“I doubt that,” Elise says as the arrow on Rocco’s crossbow is lit on fire. Then, she sees it. “What the hell is that for?”
“For everyone’s protection, ma’am,” Rocco says with a Brooklyn accent.
“What are you talking about?”
“They be vampires,” Vlad states.
“Yeah, right. And I’m the tooth fairy.”
“How do you do, madam fairy?” Rocco sarcastically asks with respect as he and the hunters aim at Stromhold Manor.
They, then, launch the fiery arrows from their crossbows towards the house. The hunters laugh as Elise dials 911 on her cell phone.
“911 emergency services, how may I help you?” Elise hears the operator say.
“I want to report an arson in progress.” Elise responds in a whisper.
“What’s the address?”
“Stromhold Manor. 234…” Elise says as her cell is taken from her hand and ripped in two by Thor.
“Stupid, toots. Real stupid. The sheriff won’t be able to help you here”
