Ink of Blood

Today, I’m taking part in Vicki Leigh’s “My Worst Nightmare” blog hop, to celebrate the recent release of her young-adult, paranormal-romance/ urban-fantasy, CATCH ME WHEN I FALL, which centres around seventeen-year-old Daniel Graham, a Protector of the Night, who has spent two-hundred years fighting Nightmares and guarding humans from the clawed, red-eyed creatures that feed off people’s fears.

Rules:

• On 11.03.14 post about your worst nightmare, and what form the clawed, red-eyed creatures would take if they fed off your fears.
• Visit the other participants of the blog hop, and comment on their worst nightmares

At the end of the blog tour (11/14/14) Vicki will pick one participant at random, and award them with Catch Me When I Fall Swag Pack, containing a dreamcatcher hand-made by Vicki.

This is my worst nightmare:

I’m standing in the middle of a dark room. There are no windows at all and the door is against the far wall. I can’t see anything in the room, but I can hear the sound of something moving around. I can feel the sensation of being watched. My skin crawls as I begin searching frantically for a way out, but the only thing I’m aware of is that there’s something in the room with me. And I can’t see it… but I can hear it and I can feel it. And there’s no easy way to get out without running (or even walking) across the floor to reach the door.

As for what form the Nightmares would take…

I can picture one of them as being like a big cat. Not a lion, or tiger, but a tabby house cat that’s massive. Instead of a furry tail, though, it’s the tail of a scorpion. And the Nightmare’s teeth (more like fangs) are jagged and sharp. The Nightmare also has huge, bat-like wings and small, rounded ears.

The second Nightmare has the hooded head of a viper, with fur sprouting along either side. The body is scaled, but more like a lizard, with some fur continuing along its spine down to the tail. The claws are more like needles and although not very big, they are really sharp.

Recruited at his death to be a Protector of the Night, seventeen-year-old Daniel Graham has spent two-hundred years fighting Nightmares and guarding humans from the clawed, red-eyed creatures that feed off people’s fears. Each night, he risks his eternal life, having given up his chance at an afterlife when he chose to become a Protector. That doesn’t stop a burnt-out Daniel from risking daring maneuvers during each battle. He’s become one of the best, but he wants nothing more than to stop.

Then he’s given an assignment to watch over sixteen-year-old Kayla Bartlett, a clinically depressed patient in a psychiatric ward. Nightmares love a human with a tortured past. Yet, when they take a deep interest in her, appearing in unprecedented numbers, the job becomes more dangerous than any Daniel’s ever experienced. He fights ruthlessly to keep the Nightmares from overwhelming his team and Kayla. Soon, Daniel finds himself watching over Kayla during the day, drawn to why she’s different, and what it is about her that attracts the Nightmares. And him.

A vicious attack on Kayla forces Daniel to break the first Law and reveal his identity. Driven by his growing feelings for her, he whisks her away to Rome where others like him can keep her safe. Under their roof, the Protectors discover what Kayla is and why someone who can manipulate Nightmares has her in his sights. But before they can make a move, the Protectors are betrayed and Kayla is kidnapped. Daniel will stop at nothing to save her. Even if it means giving up his immortality.
