Daddy's Baby Girl (Part 2)
The room they stepped into was a pink and white nursery with all the furniture and accoutrements one would expect to see. A crib stood against one wall, a changing table against the opposite next to a little pink and white dresser. White lacy curtains...
The Blessing and The Curse - Part 2
I used my allowance that weekend to buy some essentials at the local supermarket: A few big bottles of water, some food, and enough batteries to power my handheld video game for a few days, since I knew I'd have to have something to pass the time. The...
Those Three Words, (Part 2)
Later on that day we were in the local park siting on the bench looking at the lake near by and talking to each other again I could smell the sweet scents of spring flowing through the air, Cherry Blossims, Blue Bells and all sorts of spring flowers...
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 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 28
28 "'Be careful what you wish for,' they say." Sarah had taken a handkerchief from the folds of her dress to wipe away the errant tears that occasionally snuck through her guard, and Ander wondered whether it could be the very same one she had used...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 27
27 "What do you mean you're pregnant!?" Father bellowed. Sarah expected him to blow his top, but this was going a bit overboard, even for him. "You can't be pregnant! You know how I know you can't be pregnant? Because if you were, I would have to kill...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 33
33 "Sarah! You get back here right now!" Her father's voice, so close, but she didn't dare turn around. She doubted she'd be able to see him anyway, even if he was right behind her. The darkness was so deep. And why weren't the trees getting any...
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...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 34
34 _Has he noticed? Oh dear gods, has he noticed!?_ It felt like her heart had stopped when she first saw those dark spots on the ground, but now it was beating at triple speed to make up for lost time, making the pain in her midsection even worse....
