Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 8
8 "This is the worst idea ever!" Kiana grumbled, wrenching her cloak free of pesky brambles for what felt like the hundredth time. Honestly, the way they were constantly grabbing and tearing at her clothes you'd almost think they were doing it on...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 7
7 Kiana didn't want to hear all this again. She knew perfectly well what had happened, even more so than they did, but she couldn't very well tell them to shut their filthy mouths, could she? No, not if she had any sense left in her stupid, empty...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 2
2 "Hezzi! Wait! Something's not right!" Ander said, coming to a dead stop. "Huh?" the young grey Wolf was already halfway towards the gates, no doubt eager to tell everyone about the kill. "What's wrong?" "What do you see, Ander?" Banno asked. They...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 1
Ander By Contrast (aka Necrobat) Chapter 1 The Bonds of Blood 1 He could smell it coming, bounding through the woods. He could smell its fear. Even worse, he could smell the ecstasy of those chasing after it. The ecstasy of his...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 5
5 Hezzi was in no hurry to go outside. It would take a while for all the Wolves to gather, and he still had some thinking to do. He looked down at the broken carving still clutched in his hand, the sharp splinters of wood sticking out like arrows. So...
Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 4
4 Hezzi lay on his side, his knees drawn up to his chest, his arms folded tightly against his body, the little wooden figure of himself carved by Ander so many years ago clutched tightly in his fist. With all the flaps closed, his tent was nice and...

22 Sarah couldn't help but giggle softly as she climbed down the steep rockfall towards their little meeting place, her hands rhythmically grabbing each knot in the rope Kadai had hung from the top. Going down backwards was still a bit tricky, but...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 23
23 - sprawling, the scent of wet, half rotted leaves ripe in her nostrils. She twisted around just in time to see them collide with each other, two hulking shapes in the dark, biting and clawing and tearing, snarling like beasts. They were fighting...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 22
22 "Banno!" Ander should have known it wouldn't be this easy. Of all the Wolves to come after them, it had to be _him_; the one Wolf who lived for no other reason than to kill, the one Wolf who could only feel alive by tasting the death of...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 21
21 They had only been running on for a short while when Kiana tapped Ander on the shoulder. "Do you hear that?" "Loud rumbling dead ahead? Yeah, I hear it. Sounds like we've nearly reached the river." Kiana rested her head against Ander's shoulder,...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 31
31 Hezzi burst out into the open, his lungs screaming for air. The thunderous river, which normally would have grabbed his attention and held him fascinated, didn't so much as register in his panicked mind. He looked around, trying to figure out where...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 29
29 This was turning into quite a shlog of a night for Hezzi. After all the trouble he went through to help out, Ander simply told him to get back to the village (_ordered_ was more like it), but when he finally got back there, the next guard shift had...
