Vampyren, "The Vampire", by Edvard Munch
Welcome to “Six Sentence Sunday”. Thank you for visiting and especially for any comments you might feel inclined to offer.
This six comes from my urban fantasy novel, My Fair Vampire, currently in editing mode. This scene is pulled from late in the book after Dori has weathered many harrowing experiences under her sire’s tutelage. She is speaking with him, after he shows up unexpectedly to take her to a Council meeting.
Dori speaks first:
“Why are you just now telling me? Why such short notice if this is legit?”
“Have you always been this suspicious?”
Arms crossed, I couldn’t keep the scorn out of my voice.Ā “Yes.Ā But I’ve especially honed it over the past few months.”
Ha! I think she’s finally grown a pair!
Be sure to check out the host site, Six Sentence Sunday, for links to more tantalizing snippets from some very talented writers.
Great snippet. Sounds an interesting story!
Thank you, Gayle! I’m rather fond of it. š
I like her voice! You said she’s finally grown a pair. Are we talking fangs, or … ? š
LOL…that’s a very good question. Perhaps a little of both? Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Lol you answered my question already! Great six!
I love it when the heroine gets a bit sassy! Enjoyed your six š
Heh-heh…Oh Dori is, I hope anyway, an interesting blend of sassy and vulnerable. Thanks for dropping by and commenting.
That’s putting your foot down with the big bad vampire, Dori!
Yay! 22 days til The PURE, that reminds me, I have to do my taxes.
Ugh..I have to do mine too. They’re started at least. Thanks for the visit and comment, m’dear!
LOL, loved her response! Nice sarcasm and peek into her character arc!
Thanks Angela. I appreciate the visit and lovely comment.
Great response š I don’t remember reading your work before, but I’ll certainly be back for more of this spunky fanged girl.
Thanks, Guilie! I think you’ve visited before and read some bits from my forthcoming novel, The PURE. Thanks for the repeat visit and comment.
great set up and a lovely blog too!
Thank you, Liz. The blog design is brand spanking new so I’m thrilled you like it.
Intriguing. Can’t wait to read more.
THanks, Jo-Ann! š
Interesting father-daughter dynamics.
He’s not actually her father, but the vampire who is responsible for making her one too. They have a little bit of a father-daughter dynamic but there is a stronger sexual dynamic at play as well, though this is not a romance but an urban fantasy tale…so far. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Go Dori! I like her snarky attitude. Her sire’s kinda fun, too. In a scary kinda way. š
THanks, Ryan! š You nailed it. Dori is a wee bit snarky, mostly because there’s some resentment there toward Donovan. Donovan is scary and protective and a sneaky SOB.
Nice comeback… A fun six, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Goran, for visiting and commenting.
Haha! Good one.
Thanks, Karysa!
Great dialogue! š
Thanks, Lorraine and thanks for visiting and commenting! š
I love that she’s especially honed her suspicion. Sounds like he’s given her good reason to.
Sounds as though she’s been taking his measure and found him a little short in the truth area. Great six!
