CHAPTER 15 Living like an ascetic for more than five years had been worse for him than he'd realised. If Martin had been surprised at the sudden level of demand he'd been subjected to, he made no comment, in fact he'd seemed chuffed; but by Sunday afternoon he was almost begging to leave, saying he needed to get some sleep before his week started. And Davi...
Mam and I have lived alone ever since Da died. I remember that day almost twenty five years ago as it were yesterday; there was a terrible storm and Da was outside fixing the tarpaulins covering the hay bales when a freak gust of wind uprooted the ancient oak tree beside the barn. Da was crushed under timbers from the barn and died a few hours later in hospi...
Cardinal Aldous stood at the large stone framed window looking out at the wide plane that led to the sea. He absently shifted the artifact from hand to hand, as always it felt warm to the touch. So much history, so much bloodshed, so many hopes for the future hung on the merkabic star in his hand. Cardinal Aldous moved outside, to the wide terrace that was...
Chapter 11 -- To Safety. Anny's bare feet slapped heavily on the hot pavement as she ran; her legs jarring and her skin burning as it came into contact with the ground. She was running for her life.

Her resolve congealed for a moment. "No way." "Fine. You don't do it, you don't get in. All those hours for nothing, we'll just drop you back at the dorm," Lisa s...
"What the hell is this?" I mentally asked myself. I'd been absently scratching a spot on my a arm as I worked at my desk, and glancing at it noticed the area I'd been scratching was inflamed with a red rash about an inch in diameter. There seemed to be small welts with small spots of blood in the center. I got up and left my office; heading for my co-worke...
\Jack Ramse knew he needed space from his friends. Taking off in a mad dash to put distance between he and they made sense at the time. He had no clue what type of curse he had forced upon him after having to recite a spell of containment against the Fallen Angel Verago. He just knew he felt a bad omen come over him. One that could mean hurting those that he...

Jesse's grin was wide as they led the Thunder Run to the middle of town. He was riding shotgun in the lead Jeep with Donald and two other wolves, dressed in desert camoflage with an AR-15 on a single point harness it was just like old times for him. Frank was their contact with Salmon Pack and Luke with North Fork. So far, the run had been easy, they had m...
