Now I’m annoyed. I hate the dark. I hate not being able to see further than my own nose. I hate that what is supposed to be my dream house is a field of rancid nightmares. I hate that my father is tricky, lying, trickstering liar. And most of...
I begin to shake with a rage I did not know I had. Luckily, for Sinan, the veil over my eyes prevents me from seeing him clearly. I raise my hand, and a stream of blazing light shoots in the direction of the old man. He freezes as the...
“That’s ridiculous!” I snap. “You’re a Child of The Blood? That’s impossible!” “And why is that?” Jackie asks me, eyes narrowing dangerously. She folds her strong arms and taps her long nails against a solid bicep. “Because,” I speak slowly, “of two things. The curse, or power, if you...
Marianna trembled violently, furiously denying the scene she saw before her. Cold water ran through her veins as the impact of her actions slapped her in the face. She had orchestrated the death of her only child, and to what end? The monster she feared still walked the realm....
“That’s-that’s not true,” Xia croaked. She shook her head from side to side. “That can’t be true.” She stole a glance at her grandmother, and was dismayed to see a furious expression marring the old woman’s face. “You dare speak of this?” Marianna thundered. The Child only chuckled. “Grandmother?”...
“Granddaughter?” Rei blurted from her position on the floor. She rose and placed her hands on her hips. “What is this nonsense? Old Woman! What are you saying?” She stepped closer to the raised platform, frowning. “Not now, Rei,” Marianna snapped. “Why not now? Have you betrayed us, Old...
Xia felt her back stiffen, and the crackling lighter faded from her fingertips. She trembled violently, and swayed where she stood. The Other was here, in this room? The Child smirked. “Marianna Iskandra. You have found us, I see, you have found us. But there is nothing that you...
The Child was not a child, yet she was. She was also an old woman; a large, black creature with leathery wings; a horned serpent, a young woman with a large, pregnant belly; and a feathered being surrounded by blinding light. In the midst of all of these flickering...
Xia awoke when the moon rose. Though she was unaware of it, as she could not see its light, she felt the silvery goodness send cool, soothing waves of refreshment through her feverish body. She lifted an arm, intending to sweep the remnants of sleep away from her eyes...
As Xia writhed and hissed on the ground, she was unaware of being watched. She knew that the child watched. She even saw the women arrive with their blue brow ink glowing and pulsating under their skin. She felt the small animals, the bugs, the birds and the wind....
You’re going to hate me, but I have a good reason! See, I love the way that BEWARE flowed, and right now, it’s not flowing. Not even a trickle of post-worthy words have come. I’ve been trying to force it out, and it’s not working. At. All. And posting...
Several things happened at once. As the blazing light around her died down to a soft glow, Xia became aware of an oily, smoky smell assaulting her nose. Her eyes swept the area in front of her, seeking the source of the foul odor. A soft crunch turned her...
“Get down!” Rei shouted to Uno as she flung herself to the ground in front of him. She quickly raised the biggest shield she was capable of holding, and felt an immediate drop in her energy level. Grinding her teeth together, she forced a split in her mind, half...
Xia stopped at her busted door, and gazed into her room in dismay. Several of her books had been ripped apart, and her little computer lay in pieces on the floor. Gritting her teeth and ignoring the three guards, she stomped over to her little bed. Bending down, she...
Two male guards burst into the room, weapons drawn and trembling. Rei turned to face them as casually as she dared. Something had changed while she and Xia were talking. One false move, one misstep could prove to be fatal. “We were just finished up,” Rei said to the...
