Nova: The Executioner of Justice
()
About this ebook
Many believe the mask of darkness helps to hide them from their wickedness. Their belief that no human eyes gazed upon their most evil transgressions leaves them free from judgment and punishment. What they fail to realize, beyond the shadows and surrounded in darkness, there’s always something watching and mercy isn’t a part of the job.

About the Author
In Her Own Words: Prologue
Sometimes the night can be calm, sometimes it can be rough. People like to let their demons run wild in the dark. It helps them to hide what most people can’t see. But what they don’t know is that there is always something watching. That something is me. The name’s Nova. I’m one with the night and she is me. I’ve seen countless things happen when I’m awake while most are asleep. Horrible, nasty, wicked things. I’m not talking about your run of the mill type of things. Accidents and robberies need not apply. Those are much too small to tickle my fancy.
You see, people use my essence to cover up their dirty deeds. But, for the ones that get away with it or think you will, no more. No more will you use me to cover up your crimes. No more will you use me to hide the people you hurt. You will not use me to hide behind. I’m fighting back. Fighting for the ones that can no longer fight for themselves. The ones that deserve justice. You can’t hide all the people you hurt any longer. I will bring it all to the light. I feel them. I see you and I will devour you. You will feel the same pain your victims felt. You’ll feel empty to the point where you’ll beg me to make it go away. Once I have you where I want you, you’re mine and there is nothing you can do about it.
So, let this be a warning to those who think their demons are free to roam the night. I’m watching and always will be. And when you think you’ve gotten away, I’ll be right there to assure you, you haven’t.
Love, Nova
Broken: The Story of Beverly
It was half-past six, and the moon was creeping up from behind the trees. The pink and orange sky looked picturesque against the tall elms. A dark blue car moved along the road between them. A short, brown-eyed woman was behind the wheel. Her name was Beverly. She’d spent the day hanging out with her best friend Stacey. But now, she was ready to call it a night. Stacey had invited her to brunch at a brand-new restaurant 40 miles outside of their city. This wasn’t unusual for the two of them, they often enjoyed exploring fresh places. Plus, Stacey figured Beverly needed to get out for a bit. They finally parted ways just as the sun moved westward.
A low rumble sounded. Woo, calm down,
Beverly said, grabbing her stomach. I knew I should’ve stopped for a little something before heading back.
She slowed the car and reached for her purse in the backseat. She placed it on her lap and rummaged through it, looking for something she could pop into her mouth to calm her angry stomach. No luck. Sorry, girl, you just have to wait.
She told herself as she tossed the purse onto the seat beside her. There hadn’t been a gas station for several miles. Everywhere she looked, there was a thick group of trees and an occasional mailbox perched out by the road. She figured it would be this way until she was closer to the big city.
A loud pop rang out, her car shook, and the engine fell silent. She steered it off the road before placing it in park. She let out a sigh, hit the steering wheel, then proclaimed, Why is this happening right now?
She took a deep breath in and a long breath out. Okay, Beverly, you got this.
She pulled the lever to open the hood and hopped out of the car. A small gust of heat broke free as she opened the hood and latched it. The yellow in the sky was fading, and she needed to hurry to beat the dark. She looked around, part hoping someone was around to help and part looking for any animals that hadn’t had their dinner. An image of a black bear flashed in her head. Stop it, Beverly. You are making it worse,
she murmured to herself.
