Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty Eight
Chapter Fifty Eight Kimberly woke up at sunrise. I was sitting on the edge of my bed watching her, and the moment her eyes opened I jumped up and ran to her. "Hey, baby girl," I said softly. "How do you feel?" She looked up at me, her eyes bleary...
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Twelve
Chapter Twelve **(POV: Ozzie)** Goblin bodies lay strewn all around what had once been their campsite. Blood soaked the earthy ground, and Ozzie could already hear crows cawing from up above, eager to investigate the enticing smell. He grinned his...
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty Seven
Chapter Fifty Seven I laid there on the ground for a few seconds, staring at the two of them. Tyler gently set Kimberly back on the ground, but I noticed how he still made an effort not to touch anything but her clothes. Finally, shaking off my...
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Eleven
Chapter Eleven **(POV: Sarah)** "Yeah, it was just sitting there at the edge of town." Sarah's head was spinning, but she could tell she was lying on something hard. She tried to open her eyes, but the sense of motion threatened to make her sick,...
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty Six
Chapter Fifty Six The night went by faster than I had anticipated, and apart from Tyler's little episode earlier, everything seemed to be going great. Kimberly had found a stick on the ground, and she was having a good time throwing it for...
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Ten
Chapter Ten **(POV: Porter)** After two nights of sleeping on the hard, cold ground, Droma's bed felt like a cloud. Porter was asleep the minute his head touched the pillow, and he didn't wake up until long after sunrise-- and only then because...
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty Five

The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Nine
Chapter Nine ** (POV: Porter)** Porter looked up in terror at the Tall Thing as it came into the camp. It was aptly named, because its head almost touched the branches on the trees above it. Its hood was up, and in the darkness Porter couldn't see...
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty Four
Chapter Fifty Four "What took you so long?" D.K. demanded as I came in the front door. "Sorry," I got sidetracked. D.K. stood up and glared at me. "Woman, when I tell you to do something, you'd better get it done fast, you hear?" "Yeah," I said,...
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Eight
Chapter Eight ** ** **(POV: Ozzie)** "Ozzie?" Ozzie was staring out the window, barely aware of who was speaking to him. The sun was shining bright, with hardly a cloud in the sky. What a shame, to be missing it, trapped inside Red Castle. The...
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty Three
Chapter Fifty Three I took a second to think. If Roy was telling the truth, then he was only able to switch himself with the soda can because he could see it. That meant that he couldn't be far away, so I took off running in the direction he'd...
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Seven
Chapter Seven ** ** **(POV: Porter)** Morning came too soon for Porter. Sunlight flooded through the door of his hut, rousing him from sleep. He yawned, stretched, and then bit back a yelp when he moved his broken leg in a way it didn't like....
