Juryokine: Chapter Thirty Four
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yep, the update's a day early. I'm going out of town Saturday for a funeral, and I figured it'd be a good idea to put the chapter up now just in case I don't have time tomorrow. And so, without further ado... Chapter Thirty Four ...
Juryokine: Chapter Fourteen
Chapter Fourteen Toke's alarm clock had barely begun to ring before his hand shot out, turning it off. He swung his legs out from over his bed and stood up, yawning as he stretched his arms and rolled his head, popping the kinks out of his...
Juryokine: Chapter Nineteen
Chapter Nineteen When Toke finally awoke, it was night time. He sat up, wincing as the hours spent lying on corn stalks took its toll, and saw Zashiel standing right where she had been before, chakrams still in hand. "What time is it?" he asked,...
Juryokine: Chapter Seventeen
Chapter Seventeen Toke crouched atop a building, a cool gust of wind tugging at his jacket as he faced the Capitol. His skin crawled as he knelt there, sure that, at any moment, Klevon was going to swoop down and slaughter him. The mission had just...
Juryokine: Chapter Thirty

Juryokine: Chapter Twenty Two
Chapter Twenty Two "I can't believe this," Toke whispered. He sat in the chair beside Wayli's bed, hunched over so that his chin almost rested on the mattress. Boam stood with his back against the wall behind him, not saying anything. Wayli's...
Juryokine: Chapter Twenty Three

Juryokine: Chapter Thirty Three
Chapter Thirty Three "How is this even possible?" Toke asked as he and Zashiel made their way down the dark corridor. Having nothing else to go on, they had elected to follow one of the glowing green pipes in the wall, hoping that it would take...
Juryokine: Chapter Twenty Eight
Chapter Twenty Eight Toke clenched his eyes shut as the wind struck his face. After a few seconds, he wriggled his arm free of Zashiel's grip and flipped his hood up. When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't hold in his gasp. "Whoa," he...
Juryokine: Chapter Twenty Nine
Chapter Twenty Nine The front door of the school loomed up in front of them, more imposing than Toke remembered it being before. Even on his first day at the academy, when he'd stood on the curb waving goodbye to his parents, those doors hadn't...
