    About this ebook

    From the Publisher that brought you popular short story series Witching Call, Hostile Hearts, Earthbound Angels, The January Morrison Files, Eve Snow Psychic P.I., Ralph's Gift, Friend Zone, Sex Demons, A Halloween Awakening, In the Blood, and other exciting titles. And now, here's One Wrong Step...

    AS SHE IS BEING HUNTED, CLARA IS ALSO ON THE HUNT
    SHE MUST HIDE – AND RUN VERY FAST TO SURVIVE

    As Clara tries to find out about the part of her memory that seems to be deliberately blotted out, she also has to find a way to survive her hunters. Can hypnosis give her answers about the other “person” that lives inside of her, the killing machine that maims and cold-bloodedly kills as soon as the light in her brain turns off?

    Clara suffers from blackouts, and when she returns, she only has fleeting memories of what she couldn’t believe to be real.

    Who is Angel? Why does it feel like she is this person even as “she” aims a high-powered assassin’s gun to a target in a podium? She hasn’t ever held a gun in her life!

    And what about Peter? How long will he stick with her as she navigates through the bloody labyrinth of her memory, when one wrong step will mean their death?

    EXCERPT
    “I would never hurt you, Peter,” I soothingly stated. “If I thought for a moment that I was capable of doing that, I would disappear in the middle of the night.”

    He turned towards me, taking my face in his hands, looking me right in the eye, making me feel like we were connected by invisible strings.

    “I know you wouldn't hurt me on purpose. I really don't think you know what exactly you're capable of. You remind me of POWs that come back from the war and go off for no apparent reason. There is something so soft and alluring about you, but there is also something hard and dangerous about you as well.”

    I could feel it myself, and whatever this disease was, it was causing unpredictable actions, which I couldn't stop. Every time I’ve had these episodes, I had no idea what I was doing. I seemed to black out through the whole experience.

    Peter continued. “We will get to the bottom of this, but are you sure you really want to know the answers? With everything that I've seen so far, I just don't know if we should open those doors.”

    Author

    Lily Green

    Lily Green is 41, divorced, and lives in Pacific Heights, San Francisco. She has two sons—Michael, 22 and Todd, 18. Lily has a dark past—she was adopted as a child by a well-meaning, homey schoolteacher and her husband, a bartender. Her adopted father abused her as a child, and in her late teens, she decided she had had enough and reported the incident both to her mom, and the local police. Her mother, instead of coming to her aid, decided to evict her. Lily, therefore, had to move into the city and fend for herself, working odd jobs to put herself through college. She married Howard, a fellow student, and father to both her sons. They parted ways when Todd was 3. Michael is in medical school—an intern—with a pre-med degree in Psychiatry. Michael resides in L.A. Todd is a student at San Francisco University, taking up Dance as his major. Both Michael and Todd are single. Her former husband is Howard, head of an architecture firm. Though he and Lily are estranged, he helps put the kids through college. Lily herself was a dance choreographer—and now teaches Development of Dance Techniques and Dance Theory—part time. She is known to date men several years her junior, as she finds most men her age or older to be “too serious” and “boring." She has a healthy appetite for sex, but finds getting into a serious relationship for long periods “a waste of time." She feels she has yet to find a man her equal both intellectually and physically. She does not believe in “love”—she defines relationships as a meeting of minds and a consensual approval of helping the other grow. Lily is into organic food and is a health and exercise buff (though mostly incidental—the exercising helps “clear her mind”). She is into “centering” and yoga. She has yet to give up smoking, though. She loves to shop but within reason. Anything excessive and lavish has to be justified, she feels. Lily is deeply into social work (she is a member of the local LGBT group as a generous donor for free HIV testing drives, among other advocacies.). She is also an advocate for animal adoption. She describes herself as “a city girl with a small-town heart."

      Chapter One

      CLARA, STOP IT, you're killing her! I could vaguely hear somebody shouting in the back of my mind, but I really didn't pay any attention to it until I opened my eyes and saw that I had my hands wrapped around Shauna's neck.

      She was wheezing now, and Peter was trying to loosen my grip. I let go of her feeling like I wasn't even myself. I looked at my hands, and then at Shauna. I saw red fingerprints on the surface of her neck. Peter was looking with concern at the marks I'd made.

      Peter -- Shauna -- I'm sorry... I didn't mean... I couldn't finish saying it.

      I had come out of the trance like some sort of wild animal. I had attacked Shauna so quickly that neither she nor Peter had seen it coming. I felt a wave of remorse and some vindication too -- this was the price of getting involved, and Peter was beginning to understand it.

      I'm pretty strong, Peter said, and I couldn't even budge you one single inch.

      Peter, Shauna coughed. It's not her fault. I pushed her too far for her first time. She was rubbing her neck, trying to breathe and talk at the same time. Don't... blame her, it was my fault and I take full responsibility for it. I didn't know how deeply that memory was ingrained, and when I tried to... purge it, something pushed back against me. I've only seen that in a few of my patients, and I think we might have something more to worry about.

      This wasn't sounding good, and even though I already knew I had a death sentence, I had this funny feeling that things were going to take a turn sideways.

      I blame myself, said Peter. She shouldn't have been able to have that kind of opportunity to try to kill you. I should've acted quicker, but she attacked you so fast that I didn't have a chance to do anything about it. We're going to have to take some more precautions. I don't want to see that happen again.

      Shauna answered him, Don't be so melodramatic, brother. This is all part of the process. She rubbed her neck again. It seems that I have awakened something in her that doesn't want to be disturbed.

      The way she talked made this eerie sensation creep over my skin. It felt
