These words are not comforting to me. At eighteen, I am a gargoyle who has been demoted because I broke the rules. Now I have a new mission, a new mark to protect. But I don't expect Emma Chase. I don't expect to question my own race. I don't expect to care for my own mark. And I am not prepared for what I find at The Acropolis.

The Acropolis Excerpt 2
Conor Reinhardt
I
was on my way, by taxi, to the airport in Paris, France when the call comes
through. The number is a familiar one, and I groan.
"I
just left the Council, Will . . ."
"And
I just got called in to assist you. We've got trouble," my cousin
interrupts.
My
foot presses against the floorboard of the Peugeot 406, an unconscious braking
effort on my part. I tap the seat in front of me, using my hand to signal the
driver. The taxi slows and pulls to the side of the road amidst blaring horns.
"Define
trouble."
There
is a lot of noise on the other end of the line, and I recognize my aunt's
irritated voice. Will is my first cousin, a year younger than me, and has just
been accepted into the Inner Circle of Gargoyles. As a Guardian, I had ranked
higher, but now . . . .
"The
mark is in danger."
It
takes a moment for his words to register. The mark? My mark? The taxi driver glances at me in the rearview mirror, and
I open the car door, lowering my voice as I step outside.
"Emma
Chase?"
Will
grunts.
"No,
the Pope, you imbecile."
I
clench my fist. I hear my aunt yelling now in the background. She's agitated.
It doesn't take long for me to realize Will is gearing up to fly, his mother
trying her best to prepare him for the worst. Chills creep up my spine.
"Look,
Will, this is my job. If there's trouble, they need to send in a Guardian . .
."
About this Author:
I am a Native Mississippian who started writing in elementary school. I was a reserved child who threw away almost everything I wrote. Later, when I was older, I discovered the crumpled pieces of my work in a box in my mother's hope chest. When I asked her why she saved the work, she replied, "What you considered trash, I considered genius."
It has been my motto ever since. My mother passed in 2005. She is missed.
I am the scatterbrained (no lie) mother of three, and I live in Mississippi with my husband and three divalicious daughters and a female shitszu (also a diva)named Tinkerbell. My poor husband!
Redemption is a three book series following young, brash Dayton Blainey. The first two books are now available on Amazon.com for kindle and in print.
