Chapter 04 The Rescue Brooke went over the arrangements yet again making William recite his part to perfection. Something was bound to go wrong but with luck they could improvise and rescue Carlene from that bastard uncle of his, Freddy. "We will succeed," William enthused. "Like I just did for you?" she quipped. "Eh?" "Never mind, just go I've got...
This is the ninth, and final, chapter in a series. Although it can be read on it's own, parts of the story may make more sense when read in order. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy. Laslie flexed his arm and watched the armor move flawlessly over it. On the PIA agent, it had resembled a cloud of dark smoke that obscured her body and made attacking...
"Emmy, do you really have to wear your hair like that every day?" her mother pleaded. Emelie rolled her eyes and picked at her breakfast, some kind of scramble of egg whites, tomatoes, tofu, and spinach that was hardly enough to fill a quarter of her plate. Her mother was very strict about what she allowed their cook to prepare for meals, always eager to t...
Thick, white froth gathered around the edges of Troy's thin, black lips and his chest heaved despite the docile pace. Slater eyed the horse's flank and took note of the sheen of sweat glistening on his sleek, black fur. No cause for concern there, but the wheezing sound Troy made every time he gasped in air through his flared nostrils could be a problem. Wit...
Thanks again to Iriad Alianath, who gave me excellent suggestions (many of which have been incorporated into the chapters which follow). ***** - "You're not really from Pylos at all - are you?" said Countess Kanitz. I hesitated just a split-second too long. She had me - and she knew it. Talley'd been wrong: I wasn't a very good liar, after all. There...
We rode slowly, to spare my injured leg. I had tried sitting on the little cart, but the bumping and shaking were just too much for me. Ahli's maid was the only one in it, now. Indrek's daughter preferred to ride. Aare led our little escort of six men. Everyone else had gone in different directions. Borna was off, into Adarion, in pursuit of Leho's brother...
The next few weeks sped by and Jess's birthday was approaching fast. My wrist was healing and didn't hurt as much as it had. I could now keep it out of the sling. Jess was getting more excited as the days sped by. I noticed that she now wore a very large diamond engagement ring. I was getting more and more nervous. A couple of days before her birthday I had...
CHAPTER I 'CLYTEMNESTRA' ((Author's note: This is the first thing I've written since school, which was a long time ago now. It started off as a fairly crazy idea to simply set down a fantasy I had as prose and grew from there. Be warned, it features moderately strong wetting/watersports and knicker-fetish themes, if that's not your taste, turn back.)) I...
Once again edited by the incomparable wires. Without his help this story would not be nearly as readable. ***** Staff Sergeant (SSG) Thomas Eagle's eyes popped open at the unexpected startling sound. His heart was beating loudly as the noise dragged him from a deep sleep. He lay still for a moment, then groaned and grabbed his phone to shut off the alarm....
Snake's POV "He's late," Dagger said as we started looking over the IHOP lunch menu. We'd been here for four hours already, he should have been back in under two. "He's still not answering his phone," Stain said as he walked in and set my Nokia cell phone on the table. "Goes right to message." "That doesn't mean anything, you know coverage is shit away...
