MIDNIGHT - HarperCollins NZ

CHAPTER ONE
Disturbed from her sleep, Molly shifted across
the bed to him. ‘Wake up, Jack. I’m here. You’re
safe now.’ Wrapping her arms about him, she kept him
close.
Lost in the darkness, Jack heard her faraway call.
Beneath his body the earth was soft and pliable. He
was not alone, though. Something else was here.
Something shocking.
He heard Molly calling, and he knew instinctively
she was his only way back. ‘I’ve got you,’ she promised.
‘I won’t let anything hurt you!’
With each crippling nightmare, Molly was there for
him. ‘I have you safe, Jack,’ she murmured. ‘I won’t
let you go.’
For as long as he could remember, Jack had fought
his demons. They were always there, in his sleep, in
his dreams. Always in the darkness. Hazy, shifting
shadows, hiding in the moonlight. And all around him,
a sense of evil and the eyes . . . cold, unmoving.
