Chapter 1
I hope Samuel has some answers for me, Bruno thought as he watched Reverend Samuel Andrews pace the length of his comfortable living room. I don’t understand why Roberto believes that the only option is for Sarah and me to go away, while he is quietly sacrificed. What could be worse than his death, and Dennis the Dark Elf taking his power?
“Could you sit down, Samuel?” Bruno asked mildly. “You’re giving me a bit of a crick in my neck.”
Samuel snorted, but sat back down on his leather chair.
Bruno felt a little bit better, as it was far easier for him to see the tall, black man when he was sitting down. “Thank you. Now, do you have any idea what is going on in Roberto’s head?”
“As I haven’t met him, I can only suppose so much. One, he’s in mortal danger. We both know that.”
Bruno nodded.
“Two, he’s worried about Dennis taking your fiancée’s power, and perhaps yours as well, though I’m not sure why.”
“Neither of us is properly trained,” Bruno murmured. “That’s probably it.”
“You are both powerful—you, especially, my friend. I don’t see how Dennis could possibly match you, much less surpass you.”
Bruno didn’t want to enumerate the many ways a Dark Elf could hurt an Elfy right now. Instead, he asked, “Can you tell me much about him? All I know is that he’s tall, thin, and passing for Human…and that’s not enough.”
“Dennis isn’t of the Light, and I’ve known that for a long time. That he’s an Elf…that’s going to take me a bit to process.” Samuel frowned, but went on.
“He’s about six and a half feet tall—so a little taller than me, Bruno—and he weighs about one hundred and thirty pounds, about half of what I do. He has extremely pale skin, gray-green eyes, reddish hair, his nose is so sharp it could draw blood, and his ears are rounded.”
A LITTLE ELFY IN BIG TROUBLE Description:
Young Bruno the Elfy and Sarah, his mostly-human teenage girlfriend, are in deep trouble. Bruno’s Elfy mentor Roberto the Wise is about to be sacrificed by a Dark Elf, and Sarah’s parents have decided to help the Elf rather than the Elfy. Things look bleak and are getting worse by the minute, but Bruno and Sarah have a number of allies — human, Elfy, and ghosts — that the Dark Elf can’t possibly expect.
Can young love, desperation, and great unexpected power win out despite it all?
