Blessed:Nora waited in the silence, she could feel stress from Asher. What was wrong? She felt nervous sitting in her dark room, staring at the door. She didn't want to go to sleep but she was so tired. She was waiting for something to come through the door. Her body was on slight alert because it knew they were in enemy territory even though she was pretending. She wasn't to the point of tingling but she felt like she was in some weird stand by mode. She felt her eyes getting heavy as she began to sway on the bed.She kept trying to make sure she stayed awake. She wanted to see if she could sneak down into the lab and get more detail. She felt her body topple over as she hit the bed, collapsing in exhaustion. “Nora.” Her voice was enchanting as she sang Nora’s name, calling to her.Nora grunted slightly, she was so tired. She needed sleep. She turned slightly on to her side.“Come now Nora, that's no way to act.” The voice chuckled even the laughter was like music.“Hmm?” Nora a
Tea: A knock at the door woke her up. As soon as she opened her eyes a wave of nausea hit her. Her hand went to her stomach as she slowly sat up. She put her feet on the ground. The cold hard wood helps fight back the nausea. She stood up realizing she had forgotten that she blocked the door with the chair. The knock came again. “One minute.” Nora said loudly to the door as she began to move the chair away from the door. She choked back a gag as she stood up right. She took a deep breath in before unlocking the door. She needed cold air. She opened the door and then looked for a window. She didn't even care at this point who was at the door. She crossed the room to the window. She grabbed ahold of the soft white curtains tossing them aside. She was getting so warm so quickly. The floor length curtains swung back at her and she became frustrated. Yanking them hard to the side. The curtain rod fell down off the top of the window. She braced for it to hit her. A jolt flowed through h
Our Girl:Nora took a bite of the biscuit, the flaky butter bread melted in her mouth and her stomach instantly purred in happiness. Polly let out a chuckle as she heard it too. Nora smiled devouring the rest of the biscuit. She wiped her mouth taking a sip of her tea. She felt a hundred times better. She nodded her thanks to Polly as she cleared her throat before going to speak. “We have nine hours until the ceremony starts.” Nora said to Polly.“I need to get in the lab just before the ceremony. That way it will be mostly empty and Lance will be preoccupied.” Nora continued pausing to take another sip of her tea.“I have connections down there. There are people who are being forced to do this. They don't want to be a part of it and they don't want to be creating those things. They will be able to guide us through the labs. “Well we need to find some way to sneak away then. I will say there is something wrong with…it would need to be something with the ceremony. Lance would make an
Smoke and Mirrors:Jace took off into the forest. Once inside he shifted into Cole. He shook the tension off as he shifted. The moon light hitting Cole’s dark almost blue coat. It shimmered. He lowered his head and glanced back at his pack. A howl went up and Cole took off. The look was telling them to keep up. He was not waiting. One by one they all shifted and followed the dark shimmer of Cole taking off in a flash. Nothing was keeping him from Nora any longer. He bolted dodging the trees as he passed them. A fallen tree limb in front of him. He felt the air as he jumped over it landing on the other side. Zeke, Chadwick, and Asher followed behind. Their pack followed one by one after Cross river. At a point they would branch out and surround City lights but as of right now they ran in unisom. The hunters took what roads and paths they could to get there. Jace looked up at the full moon and it seemed to sparkle back at him. The moonlight seemed to call to him and he felt somethin
Groundwork:Polly rushed out of the closet but Nora caught her wrist, her eyes still on the dress. The images of what would come if she didn't get this right tugged at her heart and tightened her chest.“Polly, we need to get all the Lobo’s in one room. I need to do this in one shot.” Nora said, taking her eyes off the dress and looking at Polly.Polly’s eyes were filled with concern. Polly’s eyes studied Nora’s face, worry coming across hers.“Nora, how are you doing this? Like I've heard what you can do and felt the power you have but …will you be safe?” Polly asked in her voice, wanting the reassurance that Nora would tell her yes.“Yes.” Nora answered, giving Polly the answer she wanted. The truth was she didnt know. Polly stared at her hard for a long minute and then nodded to her before heading out of the closet. The door to Nora’s room shutting behind Polly as she left echoed in the emptiness of the room.Nora searched the closet for something simple to wear. She grabbed a pai
Phase one:“Alpha.” A voice said painced to him, he was trying to process who it was.“Alpha!’ The voice said, sounding more demanding and something shook him.“Jace.” Matt’s voice pierced through the darkness, as Jace felt his body being shook.Jace groaned rolling to his side, trying to process what just happened. Sunlight hit his face making his face scrunch up as it hurt his eyes. He let out a groan bringing his hand up to shield his face as he opened his eyes.“Oh thank god. I was so not ready to be beta.” Matt smirked offering his hand to Jace to help him up. “What? Beta? What the hell happened?” Jace said, pulling on Matt’s hand to help himself stand.His legs were weak,He squeezed Matt’s hand hard as he stood. His legs almost collapsed from under him. He took a deep breath and his whole body hurt. He looked around, shaking his head and squinting. “You collapsed. Fell right down and shifted from Cole. I’ve never seen something like that happen…except when someone dies. And ya
Lobo’s: A wave of energy exploded out from her. The force of it made her body float off of the ground. A light radiated out from her filing and blinded the room.The Lobo’s didn't even make a sound as it hit them. The room went quiet and as the light faded the Lobo’s instantly began to fall against the wall and then sink to the fall. Nora’s head shifted back as she was suspended off the ground. Wave after wave of energy pulling out of her. Ensure that the Lobo’s are gone. As the last Lobo sank to the floor the energy resided back to Nora. She floated down from the air. Her feet hit the ground and she fell to her knees breathing hard. Her body was shaking from the surge.Nora! Nora don't you do anything! You wait for me! Nora! Nora say something! Nora! Jace’s voice flooded her mind, his voice panicking. She smiled softly, she touched her arm making sure this was real and she had survived. She shut her eyes leaning forward trying to calm breathing.Nora! Nora, tell me you're ok! Jace’s
The Hall: Nora stared at herself in the floor length mirror. She was staring at a woman she didn't even recognize. She sat like a zombie for almost two hours as the girls attacked her with hair brushes, curling irons, and make up. She was completely numb from the experience. She blinked her eyes trying to adjust to what she was seeing. Her hair was half up , half down in beautiful banana curls. They had placed a large jeweled hair piece on top of her head. The rubys glinsced in the light each time her head moved, standing out beneath its golden frame. Her make was done with a smokey eye with a long black eyeliner wing. Her lips were painted the brightest shade of red, making them stand out even more than her honey colored eyes. The girls attempted to take off her onyx and replaced it with yet another ruby but Nora won that argument. She shifted the dress slightly, sending out another broadcast of shimmering light. It was all overwhelming. “Ready?” Polly’s voice came from behind h
