The gaudy green cube van rolled to a stop in front of a set of rusting, off-kilter gates. Its grumbling engine quieted as he slipped it into park, and a man in a similarly garish-coloured uniform leaned out the window. The gate had an intercom, but some engineering genius had positioned in such a way that it took a minor act of acrobatics to reach it without...
Vendric's eyes flitted across the room like a fly. His gaze would settle on something, a face, a platter, some curious dish he'd never seen before, and then it would zip away to the next sight to be seen. And there were so many. He'd do his best to recall the details thereof later; he didn't dare risk bringing his notes with him in person, after all. Finding...

©Nora Quick 2013 Chapter Fourteen The last day of my lessons felt a little strange. I think for the first time it sank in that I was back in school so to speak. So much had happened in my life that I had been spinning with dizziness, and by lunch it all caught up to me. I had to sit down as it all sank in. I had gone from a frozen statue to maelstrom of e...
Katie gasped as she heard Rachel's words, and her eyes shifted back and forth between Alan and Rachel. "I'll do it, but, I want you to know that I don't want to.

First of all, there is no guarantee that you'll get what you seek, not unless you are reborn with extraordinary powers, and that...

Allen slowly opened his eyes on another day, surprised to find his vision completely absent of the usual morning blur. He flexed every part of his body to make sure it all still worked. His legs were a bit sore, but that was expected. In fact, he'd probably feel a bit robbed if they weren't. His hand wandered around the bed, but didn't find Val next to him....
Chase Nygaard's POV Oxbow Lake Conference Room Frank's blood filled the air before I could get out of my seat. I stood and turned just as Coral leaped for Alpha Henry Millner, knocking him on the table. I moved to catch Frank, who was holding his throat as blood sprayed out. "The CLINIC," I yelled as my fingers moved to his throat. Reaching in, I pinch...
A big thankyou to Pixie for editing this chapter for me. Your a legend! * * * * * The morning started late for everyone except for Ulisi. She had woken early so she would be there when Jessie woke. Just being around the cub made her have feelings she never thought she'd have again. But over the past week, her wolf had been crying with what she had missed...
Chapter 14: Felicia He watched her sleep from the balcony doors. He'd never meant for things to go so far. Constantine knew better than anyone the reason Raven had turned her away so ruthlessly -- it was for her own good.
