Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 10
10 "Oh, dear gods..." she breathed, staring down at her reflection in disbelief. Even at the top of the riverbank she could tell she wouldn't like what she saw if she went any closer, but what choice did she have? She sat down and carefully lowered...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 23
23 "Boys. Get in here. Close the door." Luke briefly considered making a run for it, maybe hide in the woods with Tim for a day or two like a pair of fugitives, but the short tone of Dad's voice was enough to tell him that if he intended to run off...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 17
17 In truth, Ander didn't have nearly as much time left as he had hoped. At this very moment, inside a tent on the other side of the Cora, his father was holding a war council with his most trusted warriors, and the tracker that had found his wayward...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 26
26 "Keeping my pregnancy a secret was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do," Sarah said. She wasn't staring off at nothing anymore, but she still wouldn't look at Ander for longer than a few seconds at a stretch. And the way she kept...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 18
18 "Kai, wait!" Ander shouted. He was gaining on her fast (his legs were much longer than hers, after all) but what was he supposed to do once he caught up with her? _Tackle_ her? While pondering this conundrum, Sarah changed direction and sprinted...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 8
8 "Damn that Ander..." Hezzi growled under his breath, taking only the briefest of moments to regard each piece of his brother's junk before tossing it over his shoulder in disgust. To think, he used to be fascinated by this stuff. How stupid. He...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 6
6 "Stop this at once!" someone bellowed so harshly that, for just a second, Ander thought it was the thunder itself speaking to them. A single drop fell on Ander's forehead, deliciously cool, then another and another. He opened his eyes and saw the...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 19
19 "_That's_ your big plan?" Kiana said, not bothering to suppress her chuckles. She didn't think she would ever smile again, let alone laugh, especially not while riding piggyback on a Wolf tearing through the forest at breakneck speed in the dead of...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 32
32 The blow caught Kiana in the stomach. It was more of a shove than an actual strike, but coming from such a large Wolf it was still more than enough to knock her down. She fell to the ground with a splash, her dress now smeared with his...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 9
9 It was a completely different world beneath those branches. The wind didn't cut into him so badly, and the canopy shielded him from much of the rain, but the drops that did make it through were huge and fat, dripping from boughs that creaked and...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 8
8 "No, wait, that's all wrong!" Ander said, his fingers rising to his temples almost automatically. He shook his head from left to right, as if maybe this could make the pieces fit together, because they sure as hell didn't fit right the way Father...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 6
6 "Wardo, you filthy bastard! You followed me!" Kadai growled, watching him emerge form the trees with that infuriating grin on his face, the same grin that always made Kadai want to deck the sneaky bastard where he stood. Sarah twisted around in his...
