They were both wielding wooden staves for their sparring session, but if they'd been using their normal weapons, her staff-spear didn't have a crossguard, and his sword blade could have slid along the shaft and hit her hand. She wore gloves made of a light chain mesh for p...

"Roxie's mad that I told Ray and Staci they could sit with us isn't she?" "She's worried." I share. "Are you?" "Not really. Ray's always seemed like a decent guy and Staci seems to have to changed this year,...
A daughter takes over Ayesha was shopping locally with her mother, getting to know the new area. She hoped not to run into anyone from the new school while wearing traditional Pakistani clothes. Although, while wearing an abbaya and head scarf, there wasn't much chance she would be recognised. The clothing completely covered her, leaving just her face parti...
