When Clara woke up, everything was pitch black. Her eyes felt filmy and crusted, and when she tried to reach up and rub them, her arms were stopped short by straps on her wrists. Irritated, she rolled her shoulder, struggling to rub the grainy feeling away. Wherever she was, it was full of hissing, beeping, and faint skritching noises. Clara groaned softly....
A/N: Hello! This story is done and I will be posting a chapter about once a week. Special thank you to my editors jayknie and notsweetenough. ***** The pounding headache brought Clara back to consciousness. She pushed her hands to her head, hoping to relieve the pressure. As if on cue, her stomach tightened, forcing her to lean forward and pull her knees...
Many thanks to my editors Jayknie and not sweetenough! And thanks for the feedback everyone! ***** She knew. Lucas saw it in her eyes. He hoped the realization would've had her run to him instead of bolt out the door, but he felt like now was the time to act. He moved through the crowd, wishing he'd been closer to the exit. The visiting Alpha took over fo...
"Doctor?" Clara said by rote. "Why are we at 13 Paternoster Row in 1893?" The Doctor looked up from a read-out on the TARDIS's console that did not do much more, in point of fact, but play Flappy Bird. "Now, that's hardly fair. When we weren't here ten minutes ago, you didn't ask why we weren't at 13 Paternoster Row in 1893." "It's just that we seem to c...
A/N: Special thanks as always to my editors jayknie and notsweetenough ***** Knocking once, Lucas entered James' apartment. Suzy was sitting on the Alpha's desk. She glanced at Lucas and her smile dropped. She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking out, not bothering to look Lucas in the eye. He wanted to throw her to the ground for her...
Thanks for the feedback from Chapter 1, if you have just found this, please read chapter 1 to have the back story as these build upon each other. If you are expecting "perfect realism" this isn't for you. Some things will be exaggerated a wee bit, I do try to keep a strong sense of realism throughout. I'm no professional writer, just having fun. Enjoy! ****...
The super rich residents of an enclave out of Chicago gathered in fantastic-looking custom-made costumes for one of their occasional mixed social events of the year. The occasion was Halloween and most arrived poolside already boisterous, a polite way of saying drunk. The perimeter electrified fences enclosing the enclave were 8-feet high and the fast-shutt...
Several frustratingly fruitless days followed. Early in the search Lord Roft had volunteered (insisted, in fact) to assist Clara track the amulet down. His Lordship made inquiries with known collectors of Persian and Mesopotamian artefacts. Meanwhile Clara and Jeff searched through all the relevant internet databases of archaeological finds in that part of t...
Chapter 02: Second Coming A warm summer wind blew through the tall maples and taller hemlocks of the undeveloped wood that stood amidst the quiet suburbs where Andrew lived. It had been a good, hot summer, but the evenings were beginning to cool off a bit. Andrew stood amongst the trees, waiting. His brother Mark would be arriving later that evening to visi...
Eric returned home from college for the Christmas holidays. He was eagerly waiting for a chance to talk to Clara, the next door neighbor. He remember how exotic it was to be with her last summer. He admired her beautiful naked body as much as Clara wanted to pose nude for him. His parents told him that her husband, John, was taking two weeks off from work ov...
