Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 16
16 There was a fair bit of catcalling at first, and many Wolves claiming that Ander was only slandering Banno's memory, putting words in his mouth in an attempt to save his own skin. Ander couldn't even go a single minute without somebody yelling that...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 15
15 "Too tight for you, murderer?" Garten asked, pulling hard on the knot around Ander's wrist until it started to dig into his flesh like a thousand tiny teeth. "No, that feels just about right, thank you," Ander replied. "Good! Because I predict...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 14
14 "And now we come to the issue at hand," Father said. "I told you this terrible tale at great cost to myself because I fear you might not live through this night, and I don't want you to leave this world without knowing the whole truth. But I know...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 13
13 "Sarah, where are you?" Kadai whispered, looking left and right, his voice completely drowned out by the babbling of the river. The rain had stopped almost completely now, reduced to individual kisses of ice striking his body at random intervals,...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 12
12 The wind had died down, and the first stars of the night were starting to peek out from the gaps between the thinning clouds, but the rain was still there, falling in a fine mist. It covered the monstrous beech tree in a gleaming blanket, doubling...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 11
11 They were just as he had left them; mother and child. The only difference was that there was even more blood now, slowly coagulating from the edges. He could clearly see the border of its hardening in the reflections of the candles posted...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 10
10 The guard was still missing, so that worked in Kadai's favour. He awkwardly put his shoulder to the gate with Ander still in his arms, his feet constantly slipping and sliding in the mud. It was difficult, but he managed to push it open far enough...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 39
39 "So, you think it's true?" "Is what true?" "You know, that thing about the Wolf." "Oh, that thing. I dunno. Dad seems to think so." Luke folded his hands behind his head and lay back on the grass, his pants legs rolled up and his feet dangling...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 38
38 "It's a miracle, that's what it is." "Don't speak to me of miracles, Laura. Going through a week without suffering another Sarah-related disaster, now _that_ would be a miracle..." Sarah could hear these words, but they didn't seem very...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 37
37 Something was happening to her. Something bad. The sound she was following kept fading in and out, and she had no way of knowing whether it was the sound itself or her own ears at fault. The latter seemed more likely. Everything else was failing,...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 36
36 Taking that first backwards step was the hardest, knowing that certain death was waiting for her and her baby at the bottom if her grip failed. The wind kept blowing her cape out to the side like a sail, threatening to pluck them off the...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 35
35 The pass did a marvellous job of blocking the shearing winds, but the terrain was horrible. Several times Sarah almost stumbled and fell when invisible rocks slid out from under her feet, the subtle uphill climb was constantly draining her of what...
