Lately I'm editing Annabelle's "Book Two" or as it's currently called: DARK CHANGES (formally called Dark Trials).
Remember, this is from the rough draft so it does not reflect the final product. Anyway, sit back and enjoy...

Chapter Ten, Shanghaied At Sea
An
old sensation stirred inside him. It was
a familiar. Vampires were near. Several approached from somewhere within the
thick mist. He looked back at Reginald.
“Yes,”
Reginald replied with a smile, “Now you’re beginning to understand.”
“Bloody
hell. What’s going on?” one of the
crewmen asked, his gruff voice laced with fear . He looked around to examine the strange fog
as it surrounded the ship. He ran to
alert the other crewmembers.
Roland
was alarmed, “Should we let him? He’ll
expose--”
“My
friends’ arrival was never meant to be a secret.”
The
ship suddenly rocked back. Loud voices called
through the night air. The heavy mist
started to break away.
With
no noise to announce it’s arrival, a large ship sat on the south side. It was painted black and reminded Roland of
the carriage Eliza used back home. The
striking difference was the dark red that seemed to be stained all over the
ship. A closer look revealed that the
stains seemed to be scratched into the wood.
It was clear by the inviting smell that it was blood.
Several
strange figures dressed in buccaneer clothes jumped onto the ship. The crew on deck was instantly killed as the
oncoming pirates showed off their pointy fangs.
The men down below deck charged up, only to be assaulted by these
fearsome creatures.
“They’re
pirate vampires,” Roland couldn’t help state the obvious.
“We
prefer the term Bloody-Buccaneers. It
has a sort of nice ring to it.” Reginald
grabbed a crewman who was running by and swiftly sank his teeth into the man’s
neck. He drained the man and dropped him
to the ground in one swift motion.
