Fury's Rescue

By Shannon Tripp

Jasmine is back in the third book in the Fury Girl Chronicles and this adventure is testing her to the bottom of her furry soul.

This time Jeff's in trouble. Jeff's past catches up with him and now he's facing a decision: a stint in the Pit for who knows how long or the black door.

When she hears that Jeff is off on assignment, Jasmine is determined not to be left out of the fun, but would be more fun to go rescue him or watch him twist. What's to stop her from doing both?

A huge mistake, a haunting and an indecisive demon stand in her way, so what's a Fury to do?

If you're Jasmine, you win and you do it Furry, uhm, Fury style.

Shannon Tripp

Shannon currently lives in Maine with one overly fluffy cat and one extremely bossy cat. When she’s not catering to their fuzzy highnesses, working full time at a local grocery store, or filling the silence with her next story, she can be found outside enjoying the varied and often unpredictable weather. Her hobbies, besides reading and writing, include spending way too much time on Facebook, painting, visiting the animal park, and jubilant, often uncoordinated, dancing around two very bewildered cats whenever she gets fan mail. As a voracious reader, she's run into a few road blocks (my favorite authors don't publish often enough and as a writer I totally get it) so she spends her time in between books by daydreaming about her next story and often asking herself: What would happen if...

Fury’s Rescue

Jefftik was in trouble.

The buzz reached Jasmine’s ears long before she walked into Hell’s cafeteria. She’d heard that the retrieval demon had pulled a killer assignment while she pondered over the frozen peas. As she was reaching for the withered apples, she’d learned that he’d messed it up and had been hauled in front of the tribunal. As she skipped the crisp greens, she’d heard that he’d been given a choice. Before she sat down, she was told that Jefftik’s choice was to return to earth to collect on the contract. She was lifting the fork to her mouth when she heard that the entire thing had happened nearly twenty years ago. Damn, she thought, mildly impressed, the red tape down here can kill you.

And I heard that the Tribunal has forbidden anyone from helping him. I bet they want to bust that stupid demon down to the mud, Penny said.

Jasmine studied her trying to gauge how much the other Fury knew. Though she looked all of fourteen, Penny was the oldest Fury and probably knew everything going on in Hell.

Penny leaned over to snatch the pudding cup off her neighbor’s tray before sending her pony tail swinging as she turned back to Jasmine. I heard that if he does manage to collect this soul, Daddy Dearest is going to send him to the pit and if he doesn’t collect, he goes through The Gate.

Jasmine blanched. No one knew what was on the other side of The Gate. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t? Jasmine whispered.

And the best part is that it doesn’t really matter what he does. He’s got Daddy Dearest’s attention and you know what that means if you’re not a Fury, Penny chortled. There’s literally nothing he can do to get off the hook. Hey, are you going to eat that? she asked pointing at Jasmine’s tray.

Jasmine left her tray sitting on the table and pushed her seat back tripping a lessor demon trying to get passed. She didn’t even register the demon’s snarl as she hurried to the exit. If Jeff has come to Daddy Dearest’s attention, then he’s not just in trouble. He’s in deep; up to his neck, at least. Behind her she vaguely heard Penny tell the Furies left at the table something about Jasmine going to watch Jeff fail.

So much for a few days off, she thought as she pushed through the swinging flaps into an empty cavern. Fail? She thought. Is that really why I’m going? She had no doubt she was going, she just didn’t know why. She spun around on her heel and swung back through doors. A long hallway stretched beyond the horizon. Both sides were lined with gold embellished doors interspersed with framed pictures of various scenes in hell.

Taking a deep breath, she raced along the hallway, counting the paintings as
