Working on Chapter 7 of Geometry of Souls! Yay!

Today I finished Chapter Six of Geometry of Souls.  It's probably so far the shortest chapter in the book, but it's probably also one of the best as it deals with wrapping up a few things from the first book In the Shadows.  Well onto Chapter Seven now.  Not much more to say other then I'm once again going to try to save up money at the end of the month for the cover illustration.  I'd really like to do a wrap around cover type thing but might not end up doing that as it might be more expensive then I can afford.  Well I'll type more when I have more to type.  And I'll leave you with a small sample from Chapter Five to give you an idea where the second book is somewhat going.

EXCERPT:

"  Elphina sat locked within her chambers sobbing with her knees gathered up against her breasts as she hugged them tight.  She rocked on the cot muttering, "Darkness. Darkness..Brother?  Where are you?  Brother? "  she sniffled as tears continued streaming down her sallow face, "Please don't leave me.  The Darkness scares me....and I need you."
    Those were the only words she spoke.  Since the incident at her cousin's, Betlinde Byrr, estate Elphina had been locked away.  Her only company had been the maid that brought her food, took out her chamber pot, and got her dressed at dawn and undressed at dusk.  Her brother had not been to see her since he had locked her within her bedroom.
    She ate sparingly of the food brought.  She longed to see Reyner.  She had to get him away from the Serpents and the Darkness.  She could not lose him, he was the only one of her family who showed her any true kindness.  Elphina could not let the Serpents and Darkness have him.  He was her precious brother.  Elphina could not think of how to convince him of her visions.  He thought all her dreams nothing more then that dreams.  He did not see the truth of their power, no one believed in her power to see the future.  They could not understand her words when she spoke of her dreams.  Only Erian understood, only the Emissary of Light, but he would not help her.  He had more important things to concern himself with that.  It was strange he even bothered to come to comfort her after her 'night terrors'.
