Free Eternal Island (Book 1 in the Eternal Series) by K. S. Haigwood, Ella Medler Page A

have been about five foot eleven. “I’ve been waiting for you to sleep. My name is Kade and I’m a psychic dream walker. I had a vision of you today.” Kade looked around them as if confused. “Where are we? I thought… the beach… but it doesn’t look like California to me.”
    Rainey was awestruck. “You aren’t in California, you’re in my dream. This is where I live. Eternal Isl… Uh, where did you say you’re from? And why can’t I see your face?”
    Kade chuckled. “California is where I’m from. L.A., to be exact. And I’m kind of new at dream walking, so I’m not sure why you can’t see my face. I can see yours, and you’re beautiful.” Kade raised his hand and brushed Rainey’s cheek softly.
    Rainey knew she had to be blushing because her face felt really hot, all of a sudden. “Why are you here, Kade?”
    “I had a vision of you and… other people… and you were in some kind of trouble, but I’m not sure what, exactly. I wanted to help you. I don’t know what I can do from where I am, but I’ll keep in touch with you; I’ll let you know if I have another vision. Actually, I would like to keep in touch with you even if the visions stop. If that’s okay with you, that is.” Kade reached out and took Rainey’s hand. He brought it up to where his lips would be if she could see them and she felt the slightest pressure on the back of her hand. “I have to go now, but I will see you again, soon. Be careful, Rainey, please. There is something really evil lurking in this place.”
    Rainey couldn’t say a word. She could only stare at Kade as he slowly vanished into thin air. “So much for time off. I finally meet a hot guy and he’s only in my dreams; that figures.” She began to retrace her steps through the sand, deep in thought. “And if this guy’s right, I have not a moment to spare. Thanks so much, Kade.”

    Abe walked into Code Red with a big chip on his shoulder. So much was going on and he just couldn’t shake his bad mood. Julia had pissed him off for the last time. He couldn’t understand why that little witch vampess was playing games with him. She was forgetting her place.
    He walked up to the bar and ordered two doubles of Jack. Abe downed the first one and grabbed the other, when his cell phone rang. After looking at his caller ID and cursing out loud, he answered the call.
    “What the hell do you want, Jonah? I thought I was clear the last time we talked that I never wanted to speak to you again.” Abe remembered just in time what happened to the last phone he’d squeezed this hard and loosened his grip a little.
    “Is that any way to talk to your favorite cousin? Just letting you know that I’m on the Island and I need a place to stay.”
    “You’re my only living cousin, but that doesn’t make you my favorite. And, technically, the last time we talked I believe I made it clear that you are dead to me and no longer welcome on my Island. Why are you here? Trying my patience is not a good game to play.” It occurred to Abe at that moment that maybe Jonah could take care of the Julia situation. Jonah hated Julia and had always wanted to ‘choke that life-sucking manipulative bitch’, as he put it. Time to put it to the test. He forced a chuckle. “Anyway, since you’ve made the trip already… I’m at Code Red, meet me here.” Abe ended the call, turned around with his drink and bumped into Jonah.
    Jonah smiled. “I knew where you were before I called, cuz.” Jonah pointed at his head. “Built in tracking system, remember? Too bad all you got out of your change was brutal strength and some pointy teeth. You look like something is bothering you. What’s weighing on your mind?”
    Abe downed the rest of his drink, ordered two more and handed one to Jonah. “I have a job for you, and don’t you dare say no. You owe me. Besides, I think you will enjoy it immensely.”
    Jonah, just happy to be in Abe’s good graces for a change, jumped at the
