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 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...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 55
55 "- animal. You got that, Tim? We're dealing with an animal, so don't think of it in any way other than that. It's not a big black Fox, it's not an intelligent Soul, it's just a stupid animal and it's got our sister. Understand?" Tim nodded,...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 60
60 "Look at this, Sai!" Denko said, poking around in the snow up ahead. He was the best tracker they had in this group, so he was leading the way. "Sai!" "I'm coming!" Dorin hated this. He hated it so much. Several times he came so close to just...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 59
59 The first thing he became aware of was the pain. It was always there in his fingers and toes, boring deeper and deeper. It was the first thing he felt when he woke up each morning and it was the last thing he felt as he struggled to get to sleep....
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 69
69 Luke jerked awake, completely smothered in darkness. He covered his mouth and nose, not wanting his panicked breathing to wake his siblings. Perhaps sensing their big brother's distress, Valery nuzzled against him, moaning softly in her sleep, and...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 58
58 James knew he had been a fool the moment he saw Luke rise up with that axe in hand, and he knew the time for talk (if there ever really was such a thing) was over the moment Banno grabbed his son by the throat. He wasn't there to protect Emily...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 47
47 - midnight. Renna pulled her head back inside the tent, more frightened than she has ever been in her entire life. Nilia had told her to be ready to go when the moon reached its highest point, but she didn't know if she'd be able to. She hugged...
