Scree's skin prickled with warning. Something was watching her . . .

I was tagged in the 7-7-7 challenge for a Work In Progress! Here are seven lines from p. 7
​of my sequel, currently titled Black Lightning. 
Scree is an undersea shape-shifter exploring beneath the arctic ice in The Dragon Dreamer series by J.S. Burke.
********************************************************************************
Scree felt no shift in the currents but her skin prickled with warning. Something was watching her. She changed color while her skin cratered and dimpled with sharp edges like broken eggs. In the blink of an eye she disappeared, perfectly matching the volcanic rocks. What was it? Her arms could only taste the overwhelming sea-smells of rotten egg, weathered rock, and old melted ice. She focused her mind on the thousands of tiny eyes in her skin; it was like looking through a wall of glass bubbles at a puzzle image. He was lurking in the shadows behind her.

You know something is good when you read the opening sentence and instantly remember it then read it anyway. Great passage, Jenny!
