Tatsu Island, Japan June, 1995 The night wind blew through the trees, causing the leaves to stir and produce a soft rustling. The waxing moon shone in the ink black sky and was reflected on the surface of the still water. The moonlight was the only illumination, an ethereal beacon unveiling the secrets of the darkness and finally resting on an abandoned ca...
Chapter twenty five: the sword of the raiders Jess and I hammered into each other. She faltered and I grabbed her and threw her against the door. She opened the door and ran. I ran after her. She got away from me but I didn't care. I ran into the main hall, grandfather was waiting in the hall. "Grandfather, you need to get everyone out of the castle and I...
CHAPTER 4 -- STORMING THE CASTLE I awoke to the loud squeal of the subway car as we slowed down. I opened my eyes and squinted through the brightness. I groaned in pain as I straightened up into a seated position. Damn, my muscles were sore! Eric must have laid his camouflage jacket across me while I slept because it slid to the ground as I sat upright. He...
"Are you sure you want to go up there?" asked the driver. Fear and superstitious dread colored his words. Anne ignored him. She watched fat raindrops splatter the windshield.

I'm back with a new series. One Shot is a series in which I write about ideas which I have but are not long enough to make into a multi-part series. I thought I would begin with a Halloween themed episode, seeing as the holiday is approaching this week. Hope you enjoy this! (By the way My Fuck Buddy Part 3 will come soon) *** I was warned by countless god-...
Author's note: I hope you're all enjoying the story so far. I'm enjoying writing it for you! Once more, I'm taking creative license with noble and royal titles, Austrian geography, and the German language. I'm endeavoring to get them all correct, but the language is a toughie. Thank goodness for Google! * A week after Luke's riding accident he was, with So...
Author's Note: Thanks for your continued patience, enjoy. -EgyptsGoddess ***** Whispers echoed about the erie halls of the darkened halls, haunting expressions and easy chatter fluttered within the emptiness of the immense castle.

The following chapter is the account of Damien: I slammed the door in Sara's face. I didn't like doing it but I had to protect her and our unborn baby which I knew was a girl. I ran to the main hall. Thomas was waiting for me. I could never get on to calling him Leo as far as I was concerned he was Thomas. "Are the troops ready?" I asked. "Yes we're...
