Excerpt from Immortal Flame- Story two:
The radio squawked on channel five, his station’s private channel, “Firefighter five-fifty-four, are you out there?”
“This is Firefighter five-fifty-four.”
“Hey, Blake, it’s Cami. Are you back in town? I thought I saw your Toyota drive by a little bit ago.”
“Yup, driving down Brown Bridge Road toward home right now.”
“Good. Everyone is out on a huge call in Porterdale, the old mill and hotel are on fire.”
“Do they need help? I can drop by the station and grab my gear.”
“No, I need you to pull into the old Avalon Plantation. A hiker out in the woods claims to have spotted smoke coming from around the mansion or possibly from inside the mansion. No one has lived there in years. You know how people are always seeing weird stuff out there. But it could be squatters or vandals, so it’s better to be safe than sorry. Plus you know how we’re supposed to follow up on all calls. I just don’t want to pull anyone off the Porterdale fire unless absolutely necessary.”
“No problem, Cami. It’s on my way home. I’ll check it out and call you if I need any help. It’s probably just a bum trying to get warm, it has been cold lately.”
“Thanks, Blake. Let me know if you need any assistance.”
“Will do,” he replied and set the radio down in the seat next to him.
So much for a relaxing homecoming. He’d been out of town for over a week dealing with his family in Florida, but everyone at the station knew he would be home today. Even dispatch. Hard to keep your business quiet in a small southern town. That was okay, he missed running calls. He’d prefer helping others to dealing with his family drama.
The call at the mansion was probably nothing anyway. People were always seeing strange things from that old place. This wouldn’t be the first time someone reported seeing smoke, lights, or will o’ the wisp occurrences from the old plantation. Being old and spooky looking had everyone claiming it was haunted. Which used to be good, everyone stayed away.
But now with all those damn ghost hunter and paranormal shows on TV, everyone was becoming an amateur ghost hunter. It used to be just old vagabonds that came across the abandoned mansion and decided it looked like a good place to stay. And they never stayed long.
In the past, some of the teenagers in town had tried partying there, those from the Goth and Emo sets. They ended up running scared from the place before the night was over.
Blake had run a few calls there over the years but had never seen anything out of the ordinary. It was just an old crumbling plantation that hadn’t been cared for in a very long time.
A forlorn ‘For Sale’ sign had been in front of the place for decades. Nobody had the money for such costly renovations. Hell, many thought it would be better to take a bulldozer to the place and start fresh, but it was a piece of southern history. Some diehard historian put the plantation on the historical buildings preservation list. So destined for a bulldozer it was not, at least not anytime soon. But unless someone fixed the place up, eventually it would fall down on its own. Blake loved history and wished he had the money to renovate it. He knew exactly what he’d do to it.
The private drive leading back to the main plantation house was about a quarter-mile before the road that led to Blake’s house.
He turned down the drive and immediately noticed something was different. For one, the old ‘For Sale’ sign was gone, and the old drive that had been full of ruts and potholes for years had a fresh layer of gravel. Wow, maybe someone had finally bought the place and was fixing it up.
He pulled in front of the main mansion and couldn’t believe his eyes. The grass had been cut and a large dumpster full of garbage from inside the house sat in the drive. Someone had definitely bought the place.
He walked around the front of the building but didn’t see anyone around. No movement and no vehicles. There wasn’t any smoke or flames anywhere either. The front door was locked. He knocked but got no answer. Something urged him to go around back.
The hiker called from the woods behind the house, so if there was anything to see it would be back there.
Blake walked around the huge old antebellum mansion, feeling like he walked back in time. The house was still in pretty good shape, the Greek revival style with the columns and curvature had held up quite well. In the back there still stood a large barn, a carriage house, and several other ramshackle outbuildings that had probably been slave quarters at one time. They filled the large landscape of the backyard. A few paths had recently been cleared out, but it was mostly overgrown. The fields that had once grown cotton, corn, or other crops were now all wooded.
Blake turned around and looked at the back of the mansion. It had been empty for over fifty years. What an impressive place this had once been. As he scanned the old architecture he saw it, smoke was creeping out from one of the second story windows.
Shit, he was hoping the call had been nothing. The back door was locked. He didn’t bother with knocking, he just turned around and mule kicked the door…hard. The rusty old hinges broke and the door flew inward. He ran through the place following the scent of smoke. It was faint and not all through the house, that was good. It meant if there was a fire it had not spread. He found the back stairs off the kitchen by the back door, probably the old servant’s stairs, and prayed they were sturdy enough for him to climb without falling through.
Cautiously testing a stair with his weight he found them to be sturdy. He should have known…they used to make things to last. He tested another and found it to be solid as well, so he ran up the rest of the steps, following the aroma of smoke.
The upstairs hall only had a hint of smoke in it. He followed the trail to a room at the far end, probably a bedroom. Smoke was seeping out from under the door. He touched the door testing it for heat, but it was cool. There must not be a fire, but where was the smoke coming from?
He pushed open the door and smoke billowed out sending him into a coughing fit. He couldn’t see anything.
“Hello? Is anyone here? Hello?” His deep voice echoed creepily throughout the room.
As the smoke drifted out of the room he could see the source, the fireplace. Someone had started a fire but probably had not opened the flue or else the old chimney was all clogged up. He saw a window. As he walked over to it he noticed something that made his heart stop. On the bed lay the prone figure of a woman, her long, dark auburn hair trailed around her and down the side of the bed.

Short
Stories from Paranormal Pleasures II
Set
in the Vehicle City Vampires World
By
Roxanne Rhoads
The setting for most of my short stories and novels
is Flint, MI or its richer, prettier next door neighbor Flushing, MI.
Why do I use these places? They are locations I know
intimately. I grew up on the outskirts of both, a middle area between the
industrial urban decay of Flint and the suburban surrealism of Flushing.
I live in what was once farm country, still is to an
extent. A couple miles to the East is the “hood”, a couple miles to the west is
“Storybook Land” aka Flushing. My home is surrounded by a lush green landscape
full of woodland creatures.
My location is perfect for inspiring the twisting of
ideas and words into stories. So when I am writing I often use what is right in
front of me and put it into the story. That’s why so many are set in the places
I know and love.
To link them I started fitting little pieces of each
story together- characters, locations, events…so now most of the stories reside
in the same world and tie together in some way shape or form.
Several of the shorts in Paranormal Pleasures II
are set in the Vehicle City Vampires world. Anwyn Rose, the main character from
VCV Hex
and the Single Witch even makes an appearance in Underneath the Fangs and My
Demon Valentine.
My
Demon Valentine also offers a special treat for VCV
fans…one scene featuring Anwyn will appear from her point of view in Hex
and the City, Vehicle City Vampires Book 2, which is scheduled to be
released later this year.
Read on to see which stories from Paranormal
Pleasures II are set in the VCV world.
An
Unexpected Evening – this one is set in the VCV world but no
mention of characters or locations are mentioned until we get to the second
Katerina and Samuel story, Underneath the Fangs.
Samuel is a centuries-old vampire who prefers
to be a recluse. He is always afraid of losing control and becoming the monster
he once was. Falling in love with a young witch has pushed his boundaries and
pulled him out of his comfort zone.
Katerina always encourages Samuel to be more
open, to let loose, and to really "live" instead of only existing in
the shadows.
One night, he finally grants her wish . . . in
ways she never imagined.
Underneath
the Fangs- this one brings the location of Flushing into
the story, pulls in the P.I.T Crew and Anwyn Rose makes an appearance.
Samuel is being framed for murder. Katerina
knows he is not guilty but she has to convince Samuel that he is not a monster
and that he is worthy of her love.
Cemetery
Seduction- this story is also set in Flushing, in the VCV
world, but it is set a little in the future as compared to the VCV novels.
Abby, a half witch, half vampire whose powers
go awry in a club, has to run, afraid that the Others, who are policing all
human/magick interaction, might put her in jail. She ends up in a cemetery,
jumps behind a bush and lands right on top of a very sexy ghost hunter.
No Place I'd Rather Be – this one is set in the VCV world a bit into the future, they are
detectives and consultants- part of the P.I.T Crew but we haven’t seen them in
the VCV books yet. Mike Malone will hire and recruit them in the VCV books
later.
Sonora is torn between a human and a vampire.
How can she choose between the man who makes her feel safe and the vampire that
makes her blood race? Sonora prays to the Goddess for guidance while harboring
secret desires that her broody vampire, Brom, and her brawny human, Avery, can
get past their jealousy and be willing to do more than just share the witch in
the middle.
Can the Goddess grant Sonora's wish, or will
she be stuck making an impossible choice?

view in the upcoming book, Hex and the City.

Valentine’s Day to remember. Connor was built for giving pleasure but Elita
wants to turn the tables on that.
