Chapter Nine No one spoke for a long moment as the car glided into the night. Finally Andre turned. "Perhaps it would be best to reveal some things to you slowly, things you must know. Alessandra has no care for your happiness. I would rather we gently reveal our world to you, and let you see other witches that are...nicer than Alessandra. In order to do th...
Just a note, I did send in revisions on my earlier chapters so there should be a different format on chapters 1-4. The storyline is the same, but it might be worth it to revisit those chapters. On with the show! Chapter 9: Sacrifice "The child is dead." "The child is dead." The child is dead." The child is dead." The child is dead." The child is dead." S...
I was short $300 on rent and the ladies who lived next door had to move. They offered me $300 to help them move, so naturally I accepted. I woke up at 6 am and had their truck loaded by noon. It was a six hour drive, but I needed to be back before the end of the weekend so I proceeded to unload everything as soon as we got to their new home. It was a seclud...
©Nora Quick 2013 Chapter Twelve I was dancing with anticipation when I opened the door to Andre. It had been a good day indeed.

Eric and Ericka stood in the hall; they seemed just to be guarding the door. But they were talking through their link. 'How old were you when you when you were turned?' He asked turning towards her. 'I was twenty in human years when I was turned. Once my family was taken from me, I tried to kill myself but in the end wasn't able to go through with it. At t...
WORD COUNT: 7,700 Please enjoy my story. I enjoy comments of both praise (if you liked it) and constructive criticism (if you didn't.) Let me know what worked and what I can do better. Please be entertained! Eric Hensley sat at a table at Starbucks and observed the people around him. Steam curled up from his coffee. He hazarded a sip and scorched his mouth...
Within 5 minutes, Lexter and I stood in the hotel lobby, both dressed in leather pants and biker jackets. Lexter had large army boots on vs. my black, metal high heels. Not exactly the first footwear that comes to mind for an assassination mission, but with the perfect balance my powers give me, the heels are just another weapon. "The sun always shines on...
My initiation and return had come after a bad car accident and loss of memory. But things were coming back to me now. I realize it was fate that brought me back to the coven. It was no accident.
