Magic Within - ebook

Nancy, a purple-haired witch, has never fit in with the other youth in town. She has always felt something was deeply wrong with her. When Josh, her best friend, is attacked by a werewolf, she seeks a potion to save him from the werewolf curse. But Josh’s fate--werewolf or human--is his to decide when the potion is injected during his transition at the full of the moon.

Nancy, too, must make a choice. Her mother, her best friend, and a steadfast young man all see the magic within her. Can she finally accept who she is and give love a chance?

Excerpt: 

In the blackness of the night, Josh growled from deep inside his body. The pain was intense. More than anything he’d experienced. He gasped and stared at the alluring full moon. His body violently twisted.

He looked at his contorted hands; claws were forming. He was changing into a werewolf. This couldn’t be possible. He never even tasted human flesh and yet he’d always envied the power and freedom of Eric. To have no restraints. Nothing to constrain his behavior. Pure freedom.

“No,” he screamed into the night. Not him. Yet the stupid darkness had always appealed to him. He had even wanted to be a bloodsucker. Did evil lurk within his soul? Was this his fate? To be changed into a monster?

He looked frantically for Nancy, Nick, and his sister. They were floating barely above him on the broomsticks. Horror flooded their faces, and tears filled his sister’s eyes.

Samantha dipped her broom lower. “No, Josh, please don’t do this.”

Nick raised his gun. Nancy quickly pushed it down.

Josh’s body quivered. “Kill me.”

“Maybe we didn’t give him enough of the potion.” Nancy hysterically grabbed the vial. “There’s still some left.”

Samantha shook her head. “No, he had as much as the others, if not more.” She pointed to Jake and Sandy.

Josh’s gaze followed her finger. Jake and Sandy were human. Why wasn’t he? Their bodies lay still. Were they alive? He nodded toward them. “Are they okay?”

Nancy mumbled, “They’re fine.”

Another spasm jolted his body. He screamed.

“We must kill him now.” Nick aimed his gun again. “It’s now or never. I have a perfect shot at his heart.”

“No,” Nancy and Samantha shouted.

“He’s choosing to be a werewolf.” Nick tugged Nancy against his chest. “Close your eyes. I don’t want you to see this.”
