A Final Risk (Uncollected Anthology:Magical Quests Book 29)al Quests

By Bonnie Elizabeth

Some things are worth the risk.

 

An ancient vampire searches for the fabled stone that will allow her to walk in the sun

 

The stone has eluded vampire kind for centuries, but now, it's within reach.

 

But allowing the undead to walk in the sun isn't all the stone does. An unwary vampire might find the stone their downfall rather than their salvation

Bonnie Elizabeth

Bonnie Elizabeth could never decide what to do, so she wrote stories about amazing things and sometimes she even finished them. While rejection stung her so badly in person, she spent most of her young life talking to cats and dogs rather than people, she was unusually resilient when it came to rejections on her writing, racking up a good number of them. Floating through a variety of jobs, including veterinary receptionist, cemetery administrator, and finally acupuncturist, she continued to write stories. When the internet came along (yes, she’s old), she started blogging as her cat, because we all know cats don’t notice rejection. Then she started publishing. Bonnie writes in a variety of genres. Her popular Whisper series is contemporary fantasy and her Teenage Fairy Godmother series is written for teens. She has published in a number of anthologies and is working on expanding her writing repertoire. She lives with her husband (who talks less than she does) and her three cats, who always talk back. You can find out more about her books at her publisher, My Big Fat Orange Cat Publishing.

A Final Risk

Naturally the sun stone would be hidden in one of the sunniest places on the planet. I’d taken a riskier gamble than I’d taken in centuries and an unfamiliar thread of fear tingled at the edges of my mind. But I could feel the stone pulling at me. I’d never been close enough to feel it before.

I listened the air conditioning blowing so hard that it squawked every two and half minutes. And yes, I counted. Waiting. Every squawk brought me closer to sundown.

Outside, music played and people laughed and talked. If I wanted I could have listened in, but human commentary bored me after so many centuries. Everyone thought things changed, but my experience was they didn’t, not
