March 31st excerpt: 

Jacob frowned faintly. He hadn’t expected the agent to make it this far into the woods so quickly, and normally he’d be sheepish about getting caught like this. But at the moment, he couldn’t think about that.

He’d seen just a hint of green in the man’s hands before he closed them up.

Jacob closed the distance between them, unable to stop himself from bristling a little. But, as he got closer, he forced his broad shoulders to relax a little and held up his hands briefly to show he carried no threats with him. He was cautious, but not aggressive.

Yet.

“What’s in your hands?” he asked, not bothering to conceal the ice in his tone.

March 30th excerpt: 

Rischa’s eyes were wide in the dark.

She’d only noticed a shadow descending on her before something large and fast closed around her, trapping her body and her surprised, fluttering wings in a small space. The shape of the light that leaked in showed the silhouettes of fingers clamped tightly around her.

“Oh,” she breathed, her heart beating faster. The human’s feelings crashed around her in a startling clarity, and she was immediately certain that it wasn’t Jacob.

A giant she didn’t know had snatched her up, and no one even knew she was out there.

“Oh no.”

March 29th excerpt:

Reporters and police were drawn to the scene. More than one camping trip was put to an end as the word spread. There was a dangerous man out in the woods, and there was no way to know if he’d lash out at anyone else. All the campgrounds were emptied pending investigation.

The two teenagers recovered. One had a brief asthma attack, but his inhaler was nearby and they were able to head it off before it go any worse. Both were taken to the hospital to check for other injuries, and to answer questions from the police.

Police and reporters weren’t the only people attracted to the case.
