Weapons and Walking

2024-10-29 19:42:56Ben woke me before sunrise. It didn't really matter, mainly because I hadn't slept all, and lying on a soft mattress for hours gets boring. I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Megan.
The pack had supplied us with clothes fit for long-distance missions. I kept my dark denim skinny jeans from the day before, pulled on the soft leather hiking boots that were just a little too big. Then nibbled my lip looking, at the shirt options.
Eventually opting for a deep purple tank. Dante, Ben and the wolf who brought us to the alpha met me in the hallway. From there we made a beeline for the weapons room.
The clicking of metal was the only sound as we suited up for the mission. I lifted up a pair of sleek knives and began spinning lightly in my hands.
"There's something about a girl with a weapon."
I turned around and Dante was smirking at me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ben stiffen, but

We were making good ground, it was only 7 am but our quick pace helped us make the distance. I kept fairly quiet, trying to strategize in my head. Once we had the cup, things became unpredictable.Essentially it was Rent and his goons against Dante Ben and I. And with bombs in our necks, I didn't like our odds.Somehow we had to get a replica, replace it with the original, all while trying to stay in the clear with Rent and his boys.It felt impossible and it was more than likely going to end in a blood bath. Suddenly there was a harsh cry from our front line. I rushed forward and was quickly pulled back by my shirt."What the hell happened?" I asked.Rent shook his head next to me. "It's some type of underground den, the floor just caved in."I peered past him, a huge deep hole loomed in front of us. It was as wide as a house and too deep to see the bottom. Dante was pacing n

DANTE'S POV!!!!!"Where did you learn to do this?"Carrie asked quietly, admiring her reflection in the river. Her gorgeous green eyes glinted wildly, a strange mindblowing contrast to the dark blue patterns on her face.Rent smiled at her, "art runs in my family, my mom taught me to paint before I could walk. "A kind warm smile pulled gently at her lips and her eyes softened on him.My wolf whined restlessly. I stepped toward them, "in that case, what happened to my disguise? I look ridiculous."A mixture of splotchy mud stains and sludgy water plants stuck unevenly to the body at odd angles.Rent's eyes snapped to mine, immediately hardening. "What's wrong pretty boy? Afraid the mud makes you look fat?"I growled, "I look like I swam halfway across the river.""You smell like it too." Rent replied.
Fighting Fate The Seer
It was beautiful. Ina weird, wonderous sort of way. It felt like we had stepped into a painting. Fresh sweet grass covered the floor. Windy trees grew up from the ground on small grassy hills. Miniature waterfalls trickled and ran everywhere, and spotless white flowers grew about our feet. However, the atmosphere was anything but tranquil.Everywhere fairy folk danced. While musicians played light wooden instruments I didn't recognize on a black granite platform that patrolled out of a grassy hill. A mind-blowingly beautiful black woman with swirling inky patterns running along her smooth skin and around her bald head stood and sang in a language I didn't recognize.The pink liquid is thick purple petals were being passed around by tiny winged goblins, it was like a nature-themed club. My mind couldn't fathom the amount of magic it was taking to create the illusion of the dark starry sky that was above us."Holy shit,"&n

RENT'S POV "This is never going to work," I said"Shut up... and smile!""I am smiling!""That's more of a grimace.""What's the difference?" I whisper demanded"You look like you're in pain.""This is pretty painful."Carrie rolled her perfect cat green eyes."You're being very dramatic." "Well, this is a terrible plan!""It's a great plan!"I looked at her, "the plan where we distract the queen with a tray of fucking pastry while the others sneak down the ceiling. That plan?""Yes.""No. It's not great."She squared her shoulders and looked forward determinedly. "Rent, it's for Ben."My eyes fell on her and softened slightly. Her willingness to pummel headfirst into danger for other wolves amazed me. She pushed a bomb into her neck for Dante, using her own free will. And now we were trekking down a silky marble hallway toward a queen who killed on sight for sport. And all for someone else. 'She wouldn't do it for you. No one would.'That thought squeezed at my chest, and I shook

Dandelions sprung up in random clumps all around the chamber.My eyes landed on a huge jar right at the back of the room, it's lid reaching the top of the roof. It was filled with deep purple liquid, and my stomach lurched as I saw him. Ben, floating in the liquid, his hair soft and floating and his face so pale it made me sick. In the middle of the room a tall throne made of thick and thin twisting barky roots, it looked as though it was growing right out of the ground.But when my eyes landed on her, I felt as though my pulse was consuming me. She looked around 30, but I knew she was a lot older than that. A few millen isa is older."Your, your majesty?"The queen's head snapped up to look at me, her eyes were black pools, no whites. It was terrifying. Thick green hair fell to her waist and full red lips p

Her body melted into my side and she looked up at me, her eyes blazing."Why is it everyone feels the need to pull me around?"I searched her face as she looked up at me, tired and glaring."What does that mean?"
