The distant sounds of urban life rang in his ears but Syn paid it no mind, listening instead to the whisper of the soft breeze moving over him. He stood, balanced on the highest peak of one of the tallest buildings in the city, the pinnacle of it being the only thing his feet touched. Syn had his hands buried in the pockets of his pants while his trench coat whipped behind him like a long cape that seemed to disappear and reappear at random as though it were a living thing. His long dark hair had blown back from his face revealing an ageless beauty the likes of which was rarely seen in this world. He had taken the precaution of shielding his aura from all

Chapter 3 During his teenage years, Ren had made it a habit to log into the Paranormal Investigation Team’s database so he could keep up on current events. He was also smart enough to then destroy whatever computer he had used so it couldn’t be tracked back to him. It had been a thrill to breech the firewalls set up on a division of the government that supposedly didn’t exist. The paranormal investigation team, otherwise known as P.I.T., knew Ren was stalking their assignments and siphoning their encrypted information, but so far they had never caught up with him and they had never found a firewall thick enough to keep him out of their private system. Not only was he stealing their data, but Ren was leaving data behind from his own paranormal investigations. After several years, the head of PIT had started leaving Rin messages behind the thickest, most encrypted firewalls Rin had ever seen. It was behind those walls that Rin had secretly joined the elusive P.I.T. group, but

Chapter 5 Michael was on his way down to the main floor after paying a visit to Warren when he noticed Tabatha walk into the club. The philosophical side of him had many questions when it came to her. She’d been born while Kane was within the grave… so what god had decided upon her birth that she was Kane’s soul mate? “Obviously a very smart one since she was destined to bleed on his grave and release him from the spell,” he answered his own question with a whisper as he sized her up. She was beyond beautiful with her long blond hair cut in many layers, ice blue eyes, and lightly tanned skin. It looked like she’d been kissed by some elusive sun god. He watched her short breakdown in front of Kat and Envy and sighed, she was hurting. He tilted his head a bit to listen in on the conversation… now he was glad he’d eavesdropped since Kane had been the main topic. He wondered why Kane hadn’t said anything to anyone about Tabatha since his return to the city. If the gods had

Chapter 7 Jason was still shaking when they got back to the ranger station. Luckily no one was there at the moment and it gave the three of them time to completely calm down. Hunter and Tabatha had both lit up a cigarette and were trying to bring down their adrenaline levels. Hunter was sitting on a desk with his feet resting on a chair, his head was bowed low and his body shook uncontrollably. The only other movement or sound he made was the occasional exhale on the cigarette. Tabatha was on her second cigarette, having lit one up in the jeep on the way back. She was sitting on the floor with her knees up and her chin resting on them. Jason was sitting back in Hunter’s office chair with a blanket wrapped around him and a very strong cup of coffee in his hand. He was shaking so bad he’d almost dropped the cup too many times to count but he wouldn’t put it down. “I can still feel it,” Jason said after a moment. Tabatha looked up at him, “Feel what?” “Fingers,” Ja

Chapter 9 Jason was rushing back and forth, putting necessities in an overnight bag for his unexpected stay in Michael’s home. He stopped for a moment wondering how long he was going to stay and grabbed another small suitcase to start packing it just in case. Tabatha sat on the bed watching him run around and truly felt sorry for him. This was all brand new and she knew he was close to his breaking point. Jason could take a lot more crap than most people gave him credit for. He came off as a very sensitive guy, but if you pushed his buttons one too many times… boom. Jason zipped up the overnight bag and flipped open the suitcase, packing more stuff into it. “How long have you known about all of this Tabatha?” he asked. “Have you always known? What about Envy? And is Kriss aware of anything that’s going on?” Tabatha sighed, “Only a few weeks, no I haven’t, Envy knows for different reasons, and Kriss is very aware.” Jason paused in his movements and just stared at the
