Hi everyone. I’m out of the saddle and back in Bitter Creek Holler this weekend with my bear shifter, Shep Buchanan and his witchy mate, Rhee Hess, in Ursus Horribilis.
“How much do you weigh?”
Shep couldn’t turn his head to answer let alone get up and out of the rain; but he could hear, and he thought Rhee’s inquiry odd. Before he could muster an answer, she crouched by his side, sliding one of her arms under his shoulders and the other beneath his hips.
“You can’t…” his words slurred into nothing as he tried to explain that he was too big for her to carry; and apparently he was wrong anyway.
She launched herself up and lifted him with her. It felt as if he’d been sucked into a whirlpool. His two hundred and thirty pound frame became weightless in her arms, pressure squeezed his skull, and his stomach heaved, as a current of static electricity brushed over, then through him. And then he was inside the witch’s house.

great scene. well done on the descriptions!
Oh, he has no idea what he’s up against. Great snippet, Gem. 🙂
Great descriptions! I love her not waiting for an answer to her question.
That is a great trick. And the description of his disorientation was fantastic. I could visualize the whole scene totally. Great writing, Gem. Tweeted.
That’s some nice magic. I wonder how it works.
I love his reaction–weightlessness is just that disorientating and I’ll bet unexpected magic is more so. 😀
This is great, Gem!
She swept him of his feet! Or back, technically. I love this. Bet he’s not used to being so vulnerable.
Great description!:)
Love this whole scene. Really felt as if I was there.
Excellent, loved the way she handled the problem, vivid description. Can’t wait for more!
Good 8. I especially liked how strong, not just physically, but confident she is.
Oh, fantastic. Love the surprise of her lifting him. Really great descriptions. Looking forward to more!
Fast action. She lifts and badabing, he’s transported. Way cool and so well written.
Cool! I love his surprise, and how she quietly takes charge of the situation. 🙂
Shouldn’t have underestimated her!
Love how she is the one to carry him. 🙂
🙂 Never underestimate the power of… Nicely done, Gem. She’s saving him. I’m a fan of this turn of the damsel in the heroe’s clothing. 🙂
Well that is one way to move him! Loved the imagery!
Hmmm. That’s a neat entry to the witch house. Very vivid & colorful in its language.
Very cool! I love the way she’s using her power. Great 8.
