Writer’s Refuge
Here’s a glimpse into my days away on a writer’s refuge in a
former medieval nunnery.
I got a little step closer to finishing up Zoe &
the Demon Slayer. - Neel Kay
What the hell are you
doing?” a man’s voice
roared behind her. A
sudden force pushed her
to the side and she
found herself crawling
around in the snow,
reaching frantically for
her sanity.
”
Are you real?” He said, scoffing and
pushing her away from him. “How did you
get here? Who are you?” He looked her up
and down, seemingly a bit baffled by her
floral print summer dress, the bright green
cardigan and polka-dotted ballerina shoes.
”
Here, let me hold that if you
insist on taking off your
clothes in my room. Mind you,
I’m getting ideas over the fact.
Zoe could feel herself
enter full blast fangirling
mode complete with
shortness of breath and
arms ready to start
flailing. But then Matis
suddenly stopped and
turned around as if he
could sense that she was
about to start squealing
and thus draw
unnecessary attention
towards herself and her
travel companions, and his
penetrating stare went
straight past Adrian, Reni
and Thora and struck Zoe
with a force that knocked
the urge right out of her.
Somewhere in the farthest corner of her mind there was a tiny memory flashing up in the dark,
yelling with a voice so far away it was barely even audible: I remember him. I know him.

This was the beginning of her horrible demise. Killed and beheaded and handed over to the demon king for gold pieces.
She ran her fingers over the books that still stood
neatly and untouched, picked up those she passed that
had been flung through the air, caressing them and
putting them back on the shelves after she’d read the
titles and leafed through the pages. How anyone could
hurt books like this was just beyond her.
“She’s drooling,” Adrian said, glaring at her from
afar.
“I am not,” she retorted, but still wiped the
corners of her mouth with her thumb and index finger.
”
He’s going to kill us, isn’t he?” Reni
whispered to Zoe. She glared at her
face. “You look terrible by the way.”
