As Intentions Shift

New to the area Grayson Carter rolls into a small town looking for a job at the local bar, where he meets Jude Williams: the owner's handsome older brother who seems to hate the air Grayson breathes. Both of them have their secrets, but can they let down their walls enough to let each other in? -- "My turn. I like the way your sister talks about you. You’re like a hero to her, that kind of bond is really incredible." Jude flips his hand, catching Grayson’s fingertips on his palm with his thumb. He rubs his thumb up Grayson’s middle finger contemplatively. "You always smell like hazelnut coffee." His voice is soft. Grayson lowers his voice to almost a whisper. "It’s a pretty common combination, it’s not that special." "It is when you do it." -- As Intentions Shift is created by Emily Smith, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 47: Power

Grayson drops to the ground, narrowly dodging as the knife imbeds itself inches deep in the tree behind him.

Jude lets out an animalistic scream and tackles Arthur to the ground. Jude gets above him, fist lifted back when Arthur flips Jude off of him and scrambles back on his feet.

"You don't know what you're messing with, Jude. Let me kill the human and we can finally be happy!" He screams, looking around wildly for Grayson.

Grayson appears behind Arthur in the confusion. "Hey, a*shole!"

When Arthur turns to see him, Grayson sucker punches him square in the jaw. Arthur doesn't flinch.

Grayson blinks. Then, runs as fast as humanly possible in the other direction with Arthur hot on his heels.

He passes Jude, launching himself behind him.

"Is this really necessary? He betrayed your trust, Jude. He lied to you and schemed his way into your life. You need to carve out the rot of humanity in your soul!" Arthur hisses.

"You don't know anything about Grayson," Jude responds.
