Yara's Teasers (1)

He was about to take another swing, but a scream sliced through the air, stopping everyone cold. It was laced with fear and sounded like it came from the lobby. 

Even worse, I knew that voice. 

"Mom!"

Yara's Teaser (2)

The song filled my head and her hands slipped inside my jacket and all I could think was, This looks like Holly. Smells like her. Fells like her. I wrapped my arms around her waist and yanked her closer until she was pressed against me. I smiled with satisfaction when I felt her suck in a breath, like I caught her off guard, finally.

Amy's Teaser: 

The trees shifted again, this time from cool colors to pure white. White trunks, white leaves, and white flakes drifting and sparkling in the light. I held out a hand to catch one, expecting snow, but it settled there like a little drop of sunshine. I hated this place. I hated that it was beautiful and warm and welcoming, and that it hid so much evil inside. Well, duh. Faeries. Of course it was that way.

Carrie's Teaser:

She glanced down at the ring on her finger; it told her she had become a skilled actress waiting for a cue to dash onto the stage. Waiting for the crescendo of jeers to label her a phony. But she couldn't be that. She was a bride to be, after all; "the perfect sparrow", as Joshua called her.

Tiffany's Teaser: 

"He drove through a small gap in between two pines just as the viper hound leapt fro the kill. Both its front paws swept hungrily through the air, its curved claws full of longing for a fresh kill. It unhinged its serpentine jaw to swallow him whole, preferably while he still struggled for breath."

Dee's Teaser:

The kids were waiting for me in the kitchen. Maybe it was just the clothes they were wearing yesterday that had made them seem so odd and old fashioned. Because today, dressed in jeans and T-Shirts, they almost looked like regular kids.
