All Chapters of Shadows Of War: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

         Abey shuffled through her paperwork on her desk. No sleep last night, she wasn’t looking forward to work today. Another nightmare, kept her eyes open, her heart thumping hard in her chest. She'd been there before, lost in her thoughts the phone startled her.        “Hello?” she said putting the phone on her right shoulder, going through the mess on her desk.                  “You coming tonight?” Gabriela asked.      Abey forgot about the Coven meeting tonight, she didn’t want to disappoint anyone, but she didn’t want to use the remaining energy she had to call on the Goddess. “Um yeah that, I didn’t sleep th

              Driving through the night, she wanted to get as far away from there as she could. Her Grandfather's death broke her heart even more. Clinging onto his necklace, she forced herself to get a hotel and sleep a little. She was going back home to face more death and destruction. She felt paralyzed. Walking through the darkness, she wasn’t sure where she was going. Daniel warned her coming here was a bad idea. Something about tonight was off, she didn’t want to come here, not tonight. Closing her eyes, she tried to force herself to go back to her world.                   “Too bad that doesn’t work here,” Dremis said appearing about ten feet in front of her. He watched her curiously. “You know you can just accept what you are, or continue to fight it. When we come for you, many will die. Including your Daniel.” he half-smiled.Abey didn’t want anything to do with this place, she wanted

        Driving into Colorado made Abey's heart skip a beat, she knew that was a sign this state is where they must settle. “I think we're safe here,” Abey whispered.Gabriela rubbed her eyes, she wasn't ready to stop their road trip, but she wanted to start somewhere new. “Colorado? This state doesn't seem so bad,” she said smiling at the beauty of dead grass and not much else.           Turning into a leasing office for apartments, Gabriela followed Abey into the building.                “Welcome, how can I help you?” the lady behind the desk said smiling.             “We're new in town, and we need an apartment for maybe six or so months, I have a new job starting here next month and figured we'd come out here early,” Abey said smiling.“             Ah well fill out this paperwork, and we'll see what comes u

          Morning came around faster than Abey wanted. She rolled over again to an empty side of the bed. Rubbing her eyes, she grabbed some clean clothes and took a shower before finding Daniel asleep in the chair. She gently touched his shoulder.         Daniel opened his eyes, “Good morning.” Abey said half smiling, “why don’t you come to bed, it's still early.” she said glancing at the seven-o-clock on the fireplace.        “I'm okay here,” he said trying to stretch, but sleeping in a sitting position wasn't what he liked.          “Come on, I'll stay out here and sleep,” she said pushing him up. “Come on,” she said pulling him along.           Daniel's half-awake body followed Abey into her bedroom, she closed the door behind her. Daniel laid on the bed, Abey sat nex

          Gabriela jumped up and moved in between the two of them. “You are not going to be getting anywhere near her!”           “Oh, not right now I am not.” He said walking closer to Gabriela. “However, I am going to take you.” He said grabbing her before she could react.           “Let me go,” Gabriela said struggling to breathe.           “As I told you last night, you are isolated.” He said disappearing with Gabriela.           “No!” Abey whined trying to stop him from taking her. She wasn’t sure what
