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 3: Subchapter 7

7 "I don't need to tell you what happened after that," Father said. "You already know it, and I'd rather keep that memory to myself." Ander nodded, but what really shocked him about his father's story was Wardo's intent. He knew the trig old Wolf...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 4

4 He could feel the heat from the bonfire even at this distance, as if the air itself was burning. So many familiar faces. There was Jargo, who would sometimes get impatient with his daughter and beat her until she was lame. There was Moka, who...

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 37

37 Hezzi's eyes flew open, and the first thing that raced through his mind was not relief at the fact that he was still alive, but horror at the change in light. Even in this gloomy place of sickness and death he could see that the world was much too...

Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 49

49 Hot! Valery could feel Banno's breath on her neck and it was so hot! She could feel his tongue slathering her throat, and that was even hotter! Just a slimy lump of meat covered in drool, moving up and down as if he were sucking on a choice piece...

Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 48

48 Renna's tears were already starting to freeze in the cold night air, clinging to her fur in hard drops of ice as she moved through the village, her little pack slung over her shoulder. She stopped and looked back at the tent she had grown up in....

Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 67

67 Off in the shadows, Dorin was staring at this display of affection, his body and soul completely numb. He was still alive, but he didn't know how to feel about that. Not happy, that's for certain, but not sad, either. There was just this tired...

Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 66

66 There were eight of them, all lined up, their hands and feet bound tightly. Danado limped down the line, inspecting each of them in turn, the rage in his heart slowly coming to a boil. Seffer was unconscious, with a huge bump growing out of his...

Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 65

65 The log was half-buried in the snow when he saw it, dead and rotted, almost invisible. If it wasn't for the broken branches sticking out of the top, they would have walked right by it, probably to die. "Why did you stop?" Tim asked. His voice was...

Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 57

57 Luke saw the beast's shadow filling up the golden square of firelight long before he heard the footsteps. It just kept getting bigger and bigger, a shaggy abomination covered in razor spikes and two horns sticking out of the top of its head. It...

Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 64

64 There was no dead Wolf sprawled in the snow, no pools of blood, no dead Danado staring up at the night sky with his tongue hanging out and an arrow growing out of his forehead. Seffer's arrow had struck a lumpy, uprooted tree stump with two dead...
