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....
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty Two
Chapter Fifty Two My pulse spiked as I stared at the card in my hand. I had lost D.K.'s money. I'd actually managed to get it, and then I just let some punk dressed as a neon sign take it from me. D.K. was going to kill me for this! No, I told myself....
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Six
Chapter Six **(POV: Sarah)** The sun began to rise, and with its light the woods became much less frightening. The trees were a healthy brown color, with rich green leaves, and Sarah could hear birds singing in them. More than once, a squirrel had...
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty One
Chapter Fifty One I was still holding the wad of money in my hand when I left the restaurant, which, looking back, I can see was a bad idea. I was walking out of a store, onto a busy street, holding $1200 right where everyone could see it. I guess I...
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter Five
Chapter Five **(POV: Porter)** The boy groaned as feeling slowly returned to his body. His head was throbbing. Why? Had something hit him? He couldn't remember, and pain spiked inside his skull every time he tried. The boy tried to open his eyes...
Amber Silverblood: Chapter Fifty
Chapter Fifty I was sitting on the floor with my back against the bed, reading one of the books Ed had left for me, when I heard D.K.'s knock on my door. After pounding on it a few times, the doorknob jiggled. "Sonofa..." the alpha growled, and...
The Slayer and the Sphinx: Chapter One
Chapter One **(POV: Reya)** Reya ran, her footsteps echoing loudly in the narrow alleyway. The only light came from the streetlamps by the road, which made it hard to see. The smell of rotting, sunbaked garbage was heavy in the air, threatening to...
The Protector and the Peacemaker: Chapter Nine
Chapter Nine **(Tick)** "Tick, it's time to wake up." There was a burning sensation in Tick's chest as he began to regain consciousness, and it only grew worse as he woke up, turning from an unpleasant tingle to genuine pain. With a moan, he...
