Chapter 1 : A Short Story

“I guess Yuri was right, which is mildly convenient” Sabra said. “The place is almost empty, their numbers are extremely low.” Screaming from a young woman could be heard coming from another room, surprising them. Turning their attention in the direction the scream was coming from. Everyone tried to move towards the screaming, before being halted by Paisley. “One group can go check that out. We need to go and look for Vittorio, it shouldn’t be an issue to split up for a little.” “I’m certain

Ise said nothing though she did raise an eyebrow. Naoko coughed nervously and continued, “It’s just an idea but I’d like to at least try it out to see if it’ll even work and since you’re said to be really god with kidō I thought you could help me.” Ise’s face still looked unamused though when she spoke there was a hint of interest in her voice, “How did you come up with that idea?” The teen shrugged, “I read about a weapon Quincies have used called Seele Schneider. It’s like a sword but made of

"Are ye thinking of the climb or something else lass? Besides, electric lights were not invented for another eight-hundred years when this passage-way was built by the original Selkie clan." "Well, we’ve had the benefit of electricity for two-hundred years now, it's about time you guys get an upgrade for the bat cave or should I say the Selkie cave? Other than electric lights how about some of those battery operated headlamp thingy's?" "If we had human's visiting my parent's home often

“I didn't call anybody,” Dena looked at Fay. “His cell phone rang. He said it was you calling for help and that Fay was in trouble,” Fay looked at Kat whose face paled when she realized that had really happened. “Oh no,” Kat whispered. “Basement, huh? Alright. Watch yourselves...and watch out for us!” Dean handed Fay a gun and ran off with Fay hot on his heels. They quickly found the basement. “His spirit is here,” Fay whispered to Dean. “He is watching us as we speak,” Dean nodded, thinking

Following her as she departed, I noticed some of the other tables had filled up and that more than a few of the teenaged girls were either discretely sneaking glimpses or just flat out staring at us… although, some of them looked away when I looked in the direction and… dammit. Or, of course, it was me they were looking at; as if I was the new attraction at the zoo or something. “I can’t believe you’re still associating with that Troglodyte, Sissy. I didn't get a chance to tell you, but believe

Xion exited the dark portal with a finished mission report in hand, she gave it to Saïx who registered it in the database. After that, she left the Gray Room, thinking quietly to herself. 'Huh, I finished my mission a lot sooner than I thought and it's too early to go to Beast's Castle and wait for that boy to return. Wonder what I should do 'till then.' Walking around the castle in solitude, she found herself following a sharp sound that grew louder the farther she traveled in the blank hallways

“Like Jupiter?” Allen asked, even softer if that was possible.

Ceri sat in the office chair. Across from her were two people, a male and a female, one manning the computer, the other facing her. “So why do you want to volunteer for this position?” The female asked. Their name tag said Dr. Marigold. “I believe that our society can benefit greatly from this technology.” She straightened her back, lifting her chin.

Jared was standing outside his son’s preschool waiting to pick up Jonathan. Jared looked over to see Felicia Day coming towards him. Felicia was his afternoon sitter. He forgot to call her and let her know he was picking up his son. “Jared? What are you doing here?” “I forgot to call you. I took off the rest of the afternoon off from work I’m sorry.” “That’s ok. I have a way for you to make it up to me.” “You do?” “Yes.” Felicia was looking too happy with herself. Pulling her phone out of her

Mithian stirred from her sleep. She’d slept deeply and freely allowing herself to relax. She smiled taking in deep and relaxing breaths. Her eyes blinked readjusting to the flickering torchlight and Dusk’s fading light outside. She stretched her arms allowing Tension’s last stiffness to vanish. Her nose sniffed lavender and some Valerian root in the air. She didn’t hear the babies’ cries in the vicinity. She panicked for a minute. My babies! Where? Arthur? Rodor? Freya?
