Treading Chapter 12 - Problems Afoot
**--Fen--** My first class is General College Physics I., which will hopefully be more exciting than the name implies. It's in a lecture hall across from the one where my orientation class is held every Thursday and my professor is thankfully not...
Treading Chapter 9 - Requoran Neotrian
**--Naki--** "And what were you doing that was so important that you didn't -call- to tell us that you wouldn't be home? You had us worried sick, Naki!" mom says, keeping her voice just below shouting levels. I try to keep a straight face but I'm...
Treading Chapter 5 - Prom date
Treading Chapter 5 - Prom date **--Fen--** "There's no telling what they'll do," I say quickly, messing with the food on my plate at the dinner table. My mother and father sit across from me, seeming equally uncertain about the situation. "If...
Treading Chapter 10 - Move-in
**--Fen--** "It'll be fine, Naki isn't going to do anything bad to me," I mutter as we ride towards Phalance's main campus. Today's the day we move in and I couldn't be more excited-- or should I say anxious? Neither could my parents, apparently, as...
Treading Chapter 14 - The Fall
**--Fen--** When I was younger I was less aware of what I was compared to the other students in my class. I knew that my cloaker allowed me to grow and shrink but that didn't matter. I never took it off at school so, as far as I was concerned, I was...
Treading Chapter 7 - Graduation
**--Fen--** I have nightmares that night, hours after I kissed Naki for the first time. His finding out isn't entirely okay, yet. I still wonder if he really has my best interests in mind, even if he'd been so sweet at prom. I keep telling myself...
Serious Ceno
"Ugh, what a day," Nox states as he walks in and flops on the couch, sprawling and staring off at the wall opposite. "Ceno? Where are you?" "I'm playing Killing Floor, give me ten minutes," the other bat shouts. "I need you noooowww! Come...
Undertow: Prologue -- Chapter 1 - A Cold Wind
**Undertow: Prologue** **Chapter 1 - A Cold Wind** **--Naki--** I can't wait for summer break. The spring semester has worn on me from day one and the fact that the end is in sight seems to only make it come more slowly. Plus, I'm excited. I think...
Morty’s First Christmas
"Welcome to your new home," I remember Mom saying as I looked up at her, confused as to how I should react to her words but mostly happy all the same. Every year leading up to that point I had been an orphan; I'd never known my parents, where I came...
Insif’s Introduction - A new challenger approaches
_Author's note: This is a short story to introduce my new dewott character, Insift :)_ With toes splayed into the ground, Insif peers at the smaller human that'd just approached him. The leather of the gloves snugged to his charcoal-gray paws...
Undertow: Prologue -- Chapter 2 - Give me time
Chapter 2 -- Give me time --Naki-- I was actually a little surprised at how well Khole had gotten along with my parents after the first six days of being back. He made me feel bad sometimes; helping out around the house, offering to sweep and...
Undertow: Prologue -- Chapter 6 - The End (of the beginning)
**--Naki--** The entire room quieted as Uncle Orville and Jerry walked down. I kept staring at them, almost daring Jerry to say anything. I just didn't have the patience for any of it; I wanted Fen to have as few negative memories about today as...
