"Is this a joke to you? Cast the birds away this instant and summon your rodent companion!" Glob was saying, presumably to Keanu,though,who else could he be talking to?Ulrik must have smacked into my head harder than I thought.That cloud looked like a chicken leg.My stomach rumbled and I licked my chapped lips,rested a hand on my middle and rubbed comfortingly."You are thinking about food in a time like this? Look at the mayhem that you have caused!" Ulrik yelled at me,standing in all his arrogant,stick up the but glory,hands fisted at his hips,glowering at me and blocking out the sun.At least he made good shade.I sighed and struggled to my feet,wincing as my body moved painfully.I rolled my shoulders in an attempt to get rid of the kinks,preparing myself for the bloody verbal sparring that was now inevitable."You were going

Like survivors after a natural disaster,we helped eachother up from whatever sprawled position we had found ourselves in after our profoundly satisfying laughing session and made our way after Sir Gorgeous and Mr.Tightwad.The air was crisp,clean and refreshing;the sun a burning ball of light that warmed my skin and glinted off dewed leaves.Vividly colored butterflies and flying insects flitted among blooms and fruit,danced around my head and made me smile.The birds I'd moments ago found so tiresome were now endearing to my ears.Funny how a belly full of food and laughter can change one's perspective.I came out of my contented reverie long enough to notice that we were close to the circle and this was to be our training ground.I tried to crick my neck like they do in the movies and popped something I'm pretty sure was meant to be left alone.Need to stop doing that.Thankfully noone noticed my pitif

She tasted like peaches and she had tiny freckles on her eyelids.That's the first thing my brain registered when it rebooted.That,and her lips were soft and alien, especially since she was trying to slip her tongue into my mouth.I shoved her and she stumbled back,her eyes flying open,her face a mask of shocked confusion."What are you doing?" I demanded,wiping my mouth."Um,I think it was pretty obvious," she responded,watching me warily."Yeah,but why? Why in the name of coke would you think I'd want you to kiss me?"The thumping heart seemed to resonate up through the soles of my feet and expand within my cranium,forcing me to narrow my eyes in concentration.I'd just been kissed by girl.Wasn't as bad as I thought but still."I just...." She approached me and started to reach for my face but I recoiled and backed away.Her hands fell."I just wanted you to be sure you didn't want to try it," she finished with

"Am I the only one who finds that creepy?" Wayne,Keanu,Logan and I were lounging on the porch,watching the night approach. With it came the interminable sound of the beating heart and the fog like red haze.Smelling like jasmine and summer,the air was cool and soft,with pinpricks of stars begining to appear in the eerie twilight sky.Keanu and I shared a cushioned love seat,though we were careful not to touch.I wanted to punch him in the face.Then knock myself out while I was at it.After we rut like rabbits in heat of course.Though I had tried to take out my sexual frustration and confused feelings on dinner,I was still pretty wound up.I shifted my attention to Logan who was in a corner of the porch,trailing her fingers in a flowering plant that brushed the top of the embellished wooden enclosure.Her hair stood out boldly in the fading light and her profile was almost ethereal

"It is as I told you Glob,she is not well in the head," Ulrik said almost gleefully behind me,as if his long argued conspiracy theory was finally being proven to be true. I pictured him pointing to his own head for emphasis and almost turned to see if my imagery was correct.I decided to let that little comment rest for now though, since I had more pressing matters at hand. I had a wolf to subdue. Or a Hispanic looking British dude to contain. Same difference. Sorta. "Be careful," Logan urged and I turned to give her a reassuring smile,wishing my stomach wasn't all tied up in knots,wishing for some Freia to boost my confidence. I've got to find a way to get back to Godis,and with that huge basket Glob brought to the circle. My gluttonous belly did a little happy dance at the idea then growled a threat if I didn't follow throu

I've never been good at uncomfortable silences.Even more so now since it's with Keanu,whom I've never had one of those with.I've never had a steamy make out session with him either so I guess it's apt.Still,I needed to say something to relieve this weird awkward tension or I'd start pulling out my hair.I peeked at him through the curtain of my hair as he drained his side of the sink."Did you notice how everyone was lit like the fourth of July except Wayne when we were out there?"He wiped down the counter before answering and I moved away,careful not to touch him."Yeah.I wonder what his power is....we know what everyone can do except him."I took a bunch of grapes from the refrigerator and started popping them into my mouth in twos."Maybe he really IS like batman.Didn't he mention something about self defense?"I broke off a cluster a
