 I felt the tears welling in my eyes as I found myself trapped in the same dream I had every night. The same vision of my parents being murdered and my brother saving my life three times before I was running through the woods. The same as every night, I watched the sky lighten from the back of the small cave in the rocks beside a waterfall. But tonight... tonight I could tell they were getting closer. That sense of fear was stronger than I remembered it being that night and before I realized it, I was screaming at the sound of someone climbing the cliff face. "Whoa! Calm down!" a voice said, catching my shoulders. I didn't recognize the voi

 "Haily!" Dmitri called after my cousin, even managing to get half stood up before she was out of the room. "I'm sorry... Hunters tend to be a sore subject in general around here. Though, that was a different reaction." "She saw her parents and brother killed," I explained with a sigh. "It's plays into why she can't talk. She didn't actually know anything until that night." "Then I am truly sorry to have brought up the subject," Alex said even as Dmitri continued to stare after her. "But why was she kept in the dark so long? Most all of us grow up around our family's packs, covens, or circles..." "Again... special case," I replied. "My

 I looked up at the large, looming building with quite a bit of trepidation. Uncle Landon gave me and my cousin Gabriel a tight hug before driving off to go do what he needed to. My cousin put his hand on the back of my neck for a moment as we both looked up at the school for special teens. I'd only found out I was special two years ago when my family was slaughtered. "It doesn't look that bad," Gabriel said. I gave him a bland look at that. The place looked like it might have been an asylum in a prior life. Maybe even in its current life. "You must be Gabriel and Haily Trenton," a deep, melodic voice said from our left. I jumped in surpr

 I groaned some as I woke up to an annoying sound that I couldn't immediately place. I knew I hadn't set my alarm last night because of how late we got in and there was a heavy arm draped over my middle. Still the noise didn't go away and my slow brain finally figured out what it was. It was Presley's ringtone on my cell phone. Presley was calling me at some ungodly hour on Sunday morning. "Fuck, Presley..." I muttered when I finally found my phone and opened it up. "Do you know what time it is?" "Ten in the morning," he replied. "I've been up for an hour already." "Because you have kids..." I muttered. "Why are you torturing me though?

 "Everyone pick up their lottery tickets for tonight?" Sebastian asked as the tables in the living room were set up for our Shadowrun game tonight. "If you haven't, I suggest you run down to the corner store before we get started with our run." I laughed a bit as I brought out a platter of finger foods to put on the buffet in the room. "Seriously, it's over a billion dollars," I said before heading back to the kitchen. It wasn't my house, but I always came over early to help prepare food for the large group we had. Half the time, the players that had kids already barely made it on time for the game. "So that means you've got your tickets

 "We're sending you all south so you'll be going by train," the driver said as the vans began to pull into a parking lot. "Unfortunately, we can't tell you where you're going yet to protect you all." "We understand," Dmitri said as we all turned our eyes towards the bullet train that was waiting in the station for us. Perhaps going south would give us more time between attacks by the hunters. I knew Paige was going to need more time to gather her strength since she was still unconscious after the last ordeal at St. Justin's. "Do you think the next school will be lycan heavy?" Harmony asked as we started to unload the vans. "I mean, Capita

 Sommer stepped out of the little cafe and turned to head towards her apartment when a sound in the alley caught her attention. Without thinking she stepped into the alleyway, bumping into Jason. He turned and looked at her and all the colour drained from his face, his eyes widening with horror. Confused, she opened her mouth to question why he was there and why he looked so horrified to see her. "Sommer, you should go," he said abruptly, trying to push her back. A howl came from behind him and he really began to panic. "Now, Sommer!" It was too late though, because over his should she saw something straight out of a horror movie. U

 When I woke up, I found myself hooked up to monitors and staring up at the blinding lights of a sterile hospital. I wasn’t feeling any pain, though I was certain that meant that I was something nice and strong in the pain killer department. It took me a long few minutes to remember why I was glad that I wasn’t in pain and as soon as I did, I began to cry. My boyfriend had tried to kill me. He’d probably successfully killed dozens of other people. “Oh, Adym, baby,” my mother gushed, suddenly in my field of vision and brushing my hair back gently. “Everything’s going to be alright. The doctor says yo

 It was a Friday night like any other in modern history. It was Homecoming at the high school and the majority of students were in attendance at the football game. Seemed like half the county was there too to represent their alumni classes and tailgate. Seriously, who tailgates for high school football games? But it was a night like this that changed everything for our little community. For almost twenty years now, there have been random school shootings and every time a new one happens the adults always say that they never thought it would happen in their community. It's such a naive way to view the world, but adults like to put on blinder

 "And God asked for all of his children to prostrate themselves before him, to give up everything to him," Jeremiah preached from the pulpit. It was a bit difficult to focus on his sermon today. I was very tired and the child growing in my belly was restless as it always was. I might not have been as bad off if my first child would sleep through the night already. And I couldn't find it in me to miss today's sermon since I was not the only girl here that was with child. Jeremiah was an Altian and a prophet for our God. It was a bit difficult to know that I wasn't his only wife, but he had proved that he was meant to have many wives by being
