Hi everyone,
My Friday Freebits is taken from my historical romance novel, Falsely Accused.
Screams spewed from Maryanne’s mouth. Silas charged into the room and his backhander sent her sprawling at the foot of the bed.
“You killed her. Murderer,” she screamed the
words out over and over.
Three vicious slaps administered in quick
succession almost decapitated her, but she struggled upward and threw herself
at him, fists and legs flailing.
Sarah entered the room brandishing a large
kitchen knife. They struggled over it like starving animals fighting over the
one prey. As Maryanne grabbed the point aimed at her face, she felt the blade slicing
through her palm.
She twisted and turned trying to escape. Sarah
suddenly gave a blood-curdling scream as the knife plunged into her shoulder.
Silas lunged forward. He rained blows all over Maryanne’s face. Grabbing a
handful of hair, he drove her head into the floor, again and again until she
lost consciousness.
