Amber Silverblood: Chapter Four

Amber Silverblood: Chapter Five
Chapter Five "Mom?" I called softly as I stepped out of my room. I was on two feet again, and dressed in my softest, most comforting, set pajamas and fuzzy slippers. "In here," she called back. I followed her voice and found her lounging on the...
Staying Human: Chapter Eight
Chapter Eight I was lying on something soft. That was the first thought that appeared in my mind when consciousness began to creep back into my mind. I could smell the outdoors. I could hear it, too. And yet, I was lying on something far softer...
