One Half Of The Truth
“YES!...Yes!...That’s it! That’s it...Now! To the top….come on Gemma, you have….YES!” Ben shouted in elation as he looked at Gemma finally standing on the top tree branch.
Gemma looked down and saw the circle around her. Max, Ben, Carrie and Jon were standing and clapping, shouting their encouragement at her. Cindy, Heather, her grandfather and Maddie were between happiness and worry as they too clapped when looking at her.
“Now Ms Lockheart” Professor Aldridge said “Deep breath and assess the situation. Come down”
Gemma looked down at her family and friends and tried to see what was hidden between the ground and the tree. She thought back to the assault course and the fighters she had to battle it out with before reaching the top. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to let her newly gained senses sniff out the truth. The fine hairs on her arms let her know the two ped
All Hail The AstridAll Hail The AstridAs Max held onto Gemma’s bleeding form, he looked at a crying Carrie who was trying to help stop Gemma’s blood from flowing freely. The old woman who no one even knew, was wailing and pleading with people to help Gemma. She was constantly speaking to Max in whispers and he whispered back.All throughout this, Cindy stayed calm. Her eyes clear as she looked at Gemma. Max hated her, his anger and confusion at her actions causing his heart to pound. When the old woman put her hand on Gemma, Max nearly growled at her until he saw her eyes and then her features change. In a blink of the eye, she was an old woman again, but Max saw enough. It was Lily. What she was doing here and in that disguise, he didn’t know. But he knew she wasn’t a threat.The party had stopped long ago as everyone created a protective circle around Gemma. Their eyes scanned the area for threat as they looked at Cindy with un
Oh Where Art Thou Brother?“Here” Carrie said as she threw a long sleeve nightgown over Gemma’s named body.After Gemma had changed into her hybrid form, Jianna took over. Her pure white coat shined in the night as the glow from the pillar fires made her coat iridescent. The shine from her coat so bright that many had cried out in shock and immediately evoked the Moon Goddess; while others had cried out in relief at her being who she said she was and had started to chat well wishes and praise. Carrie had walked to the circle and was greeted warm as she held out a white fleece nightgown with a hood. Her own eyes misting at how well Jianna was doing. Once the night had died down from her howl; Jianna had addressed everyone at the gathering, mind-linking all of the beings as one. A talent never seen before. She united everyone in that instant and addressed the issue of being attacked from the inside. She addressed each clan of people and spoke to them of
The Calm Before The Storm“M...My brother….as in ACTUAL brother?” Gemma asked, her mouth opened in shock.“Yes” He said calmly“As in we-are-related-by-blood-brother-from-the-same-mother-kinda-brother?”“Yes“Holy fucking shit!”A clearing of the throat from Pontus made Gemma blush as she realised how rude she sounded. Walking away with a hand on her forehead, Gemma spoke to JiannaDid you know about this?No!Really? Gemma askedReally. Jianna said Otherwise I would have helped to ease the shock. I...I can’t believe we have an actual brother. Not just a pretend oneHeeyyyy! The boys have never been pretend brothers! They have been my protectors...my family, all this time.I’m sorry. I meant no disrespect Gemma. In my excitement, I worded it wrong. Ask him about-“Jianna, you may also talk directly with me” Se
Training Grounds And Magical RoundsGemma kicked her right leg up high, trying to aim at the chest in front of her; but her foot was caught. She was twisted sideways and flung to the ground, her body hitting the blue mat on her side. She lay on her back as she tried to catch her breath, a fine sheen of sweat covering her face“Again!” Professor Aldridge’s voice boomed“I can’t” Gemma gasped “I need a few minutes”“Do you think that your enemy will allow you to have a few minutes when you are battling?”“No, but-”“Again! Now!” He shouted againGemma groaned as she pushed her tired, beaten body up from the mat, tightening her high pony as she assumed the fighting position. Her legs braced, one in front of the other; her hands closer to her face as if boxing, Gemma aimed a kick again to the boy in front of her.This time, he let out a little yelp. She gri
The Day Of The Dead“Yes! YES!” Gemma shouted, her voice loud in the room “Harder MAX!”Max growled as he pounded in her from behind. Ever since that night two weeks ago when Max had spoken to Lily in the flame, he had attended all of Gemma’s combat and magik classes while later catching up on his own. Thank god, most of the other professors had been more supportive of his mating as they allowed him to be there for Gemma.Since then, he and Gemma had become even closer. Even Maddie had started to complain that Max seemed to know more about Gemma/Jianna and what was going on with them compared to her. Max had been smug and Maxsius even more so. Each night they would fall into each other as their passion knew no bounds with Max and Maxsius waking their mate two/three times to take her over and over again. In the morning, they would share heated looks over breakfast before leaving for their training. By lunch time, Max wo
