Aphrodite's mouth was fully agape at the sights and sounds that bombarded her eyes and ears. Nothing she had ever experienced in her eons long life could compare with this. The glory of Athens at its peak was nothing compared to the wonders of Fifth avenue and now that Manhattan was in the full bloom of morning rush hour, her head was spinning to take in all...
The night was clear with millions of stars twinkling brightly. Jake stood on the balcony that connected to his room and looked across the pack lands. The air smells so wonderful up here, he thought as he brushed his sandy brown hair out of his dark brown eyes. His deeply tanned skin hid the fact he had spent the last couple of months shut inside, away from...
Outside the cell. Robert Drake stood, sadly staring through the one-way glass into the room below. His face was stony, his expression cold. His wife, Kitty, leaned against him. She kept her face buried in his side, unable to face the view her husband endured. From the cool blue eyes she loved so much, amid the laugh lines and the beginning of crows' feet su...
Pecos, Texas was not a good place for a young girl to grow up in, especially if her mother had left her at birth, and she was raised by a poor elderly grandmother. Trudy Graham was one of those high school kids that sits in class, but is hardly noticed in her inexpensive clothes, without fancy hair care, or makeup. Over and over, Trudy dreamed that she was...
Tina smoothed a shining waterfall of dark auburn hair away from her face. Her family had always been different, she mused as she applied blush to her pale cheeks. They had always known things like who was calling before the phone would ring. She surveyed herself in the mirror and decided that a little rosy gloss on her full lips couldn't hurt. She'd never ha...

Part2: Hillary’s After School Job Three weekday evenings a week and every other weekend Hillary worked at a clothing store called Ups and Downs. Hillary absolutely hated to work, but because her mother refused to give her money to buy the things she needed to make her Renaissance Faire costume and other things she liked to make, she had to work. The job of...
"See you later," she said through a mouthful of croissant. "I'm not sure when I'll be back tonight, big pitch today." "No problem. We'll expect you when we see you then, won't we Mollie." She kissed her daughter on the cheek and patted her hair. "Remember she has a rehearsal for the play after school tonight." And she glided out the front door. Graham sig...
Rebecca watched Michael sleep in the predawn glow. Only his head and chest were visible above the blankets, a soft buzz accompanied every breath. It had been a month since she completed the Vigil, and still there was more to learn even though she'd come to the fullness of her magical powers. They had returned to the Tower hand-in-hand, and he had gently take...
The next thing I remember was faintly hearing the TV being switched off by someone and the lights in the main room of the bus being switched off. I propped myself up on one arm and took a quick glance around the room, noticing that there seemed to be light from something coming from the dining area behind me and the smell of cigarette smoke filling the room....
