LucyI was in the car again, fear pounding through my veins. The night of the attack replayed itself, each scene more vivid than the last. The chaos, the sinister laughter of Selene, and the desperate chase rushed through my mind. I was breathless and panicked. I heard the bullets ricocheting and myself scream as we went flying over the edge of a cliff, free falling.I didn't remember this, but I heard myself panting. I heard David's voice like thunder cracking in the small space of the car, chanting something. Then, there was heat around me. I caught a glimpse of scales, abyss black and iridescent. Metal crunched and creaked. He shielded me with his immense wings; a magical barrier rippled around us like an impenetrable cocoon.The night flashed through my mind. Then, there was screaming, the thudding of footsteps, and the sharp sound of something cutting through the air. I knew what it was now."No!"I sat up, shuddering and fighting my blankets,

Lucy I sat in the courtyard, eating from a lunchbox I'd bought from the school cafeteria, feeling good about myself. Stacy told me something about karma, and it felt like a good time to get some good karma by letting Tom have some alone time with Duke. Thinking back to that grateful grin Tom had flashed as they left, I felt even better.Maybe it wasn't completely fair to Duke, but it was for his own good.At least I was more subtle than Sarah.I laughed to myself."And what are you giggling about?" Duke asked, standing just behind me. I looked up as he glowered down at me."Had fun?""You ditched me," Duke said, finding me much later. He glowered at me. "You never came."I smiled. "I just wanted to give you time with your admirer."He flushed. "That's not... Stop playing around."I scoffed and linked arms with him. "It was so obvious, Duke. I know you noticed."He was stiff as I looked up at h

David The icy expanse stretched endlessly in all directions, a desolate and frozen tundra beneath an inky sky. The cold felt too close and too distant at the same time, and unlike the last time I had been here, the ground felt solid. The snow beneath my boots glittered, the only source of radiance in this otherwise lightless world, but it didn't crunch the way snow did. It just seemed to shift away like sand almost. My stomach turned the longer I looked at it. The cold air bit at my face, and each breath hung in the air like a ghostly wisp."Can you hear me?" I yelled, my voice echoed like a screech in the wind, but no one answered. "Is anyone out there?"My chest tightened with grief and wariness. The vast emptiness weighed on me as I trudged through the snow, leaving a trail of footprints that quickly vanished in the snow drifting. I looked up and around, trying to orient myself, trying to figure out where this place was. If my theories were righ

David There were witch incantations that could send a spirit back to wherever they came from, effectively killing the shifter, and then there were spells that consumed the magic in living spirits. If that place was filled with the remains of spirits, it had to be because something was killing them in a way that they would never recover from, and there was only one curse, one spell, one thing that could spread so quickly and so easily: the werewolf virus.Selene's ambition was killing them, and while I wasn't sure what would happen in the long term, I knew instinctively that it couldn't be good.Nature had a way of correcting itself one way or another.I adjusted my position as Joy explained what I should do. The instructions weren't much different than the exercise that had led me to be able to tap into my blood lineage in the first place. The wound in my shoulder throbbed as the flames coming from within it continued to dance and f

David "You should be proud of how far you've come," I said. "Not too long ago, you wouldn't have been able to make the light bend. Celebrate it."She nodded. "I just... feel very behind.""It's not a race," I said. "Some people won't even start basic magical training for another ten years, another ten days. Think about how discouraged they would feel, just thinking about all the witches that have already gotten through training?"I nodded. "I suppose you have a point."I wrapped an arm around her and kissed her temple."You're doing just fine." I hummed. "Tell me how your classes went otherwise, hm?"I listened to her. The gentle familiarity of her voice washed over me. I could barely keep my eyes open, but I wanted so much to be in this moment with her. I didn't want to go back to sleep just yet. Whatever waited for me was just going to be more to worry about.And Lucy was so beautiful, so warm, and the way her e

Tony The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains as my alarm went off. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I fumbled for my phone to shut it off. I had gotten in late last night, grateful that Matt had made me something and left it out for me and handled Quillan. Still, I had to go back today. I couldn't afford to be accused of slacking off.Damn, I was tired. I couldn't remember having such a hard time getting out of bed. The stress had to be getting to me. Groggily, I stumbled through the routine of getting ready for work. I could smell coffee. Quillan's giggling flitted down the hallway, and then I heard him say goodbye to Matt. The door opened and closed, but I could still hear Quillan humming to himself. I frowned, heading out of the room and tying my tie. Quillan was seated at the table, eating something out of a bowl. He was dressed. His backpack and a little lunch kit with a cartoon car on it were on the table, and Matt was gone.I looke

Tony A child burst into tears as their father dashed out the door. My heart clenched as the child kept wailing and struggling to get out of the caretaker's arms. Parents peeled their children off of them before rushing out the door. I looked down at Quillan, who seemed to draw closer to me. A friendly caregiver approaches, her warm smile putting both Quillan and me at ease."Welcome! We're so glad to have you here. Do you need paperwork to fill out, or have you already done so?"I blinked and smiled."No. I've got a copy."I opened my briefcase and pulled out the folder, shuffling through the pages before handing her the documents."You must be Mr. Chance!" She beamed at me and then looked at Quillan. "And you must be Quillan. It's very nice to meet you.""It's nice to meet you too, ma'am."He stepped behind me, barely peeking out from behind me.She turned her bright eyes on me as I fumbled with the paperwork, my

Tony "He put in an application, submitting a glowing letter of recommendation from you.""I didn't realize he would use it to apply here. I never even told him I was working here.""You said he was brilliant.""He is," I said. "No nonsense, dedicated. He'd be an asset to any team."He cocked an eyebrow. "Not yours?"I blinked. "I wouldn't want to send the wrong message by having him in my department."He scoffed and dropped the pages on the table. "Didn't you tell me you wanted to take over your family company eventually? Like a hard ass? Seems like you might as well start building your team for it. Take your old analyst back and put him to work. I expect to make back at least triple what I'm planning to pay him. And don't look so strange. I'm not worried about either of you being a corporate spy."His lips twitched. "The little jerk told the interviewer that he's proactive about his livelihood, and we seemed to b

Peter The cityscape blurred outside the car window as Vasil navigated the bustling streets. I leaned back, trying to shake off the tension that seemed to have settled into my shoulders. The investigation into the stolen spear from the museum had hit a frustrating standstill, and Vasil's impatience was palpable.It made the drive to Yellow Ridge Hospital was filled with a tense silence. Vasil's frustration was palpable, and I couldn't blame him. There were no further leads about where Oren could have taken it and nothing more to go on. The Council wouldn't stand against Oren if they didn't have to. It would be best if we had a means by which to steal it back. I needed rest, but my questions about the Moon Wars and the upcoming Festival didn't afford me the luxury of sitting back and letting others handle it.As we grew closer to the hospital's parking lot, Vasil shot me a sideways glance."You think you can manage a bit more rest?""Sl

Peter Matt looked up at the call. I frowned. A ripple of suspicion coursed through me. It was a fake name, but one that was familiar to me. I glanced at Vasil, who seemed frozen in place. He looked like he knew something that I needed to know.I turned back to see the woman's expression soft with sympathy and concern."Oh, dear... You've been having a rough time of it, haven't you? Should I--""No," he said, his voice gravely and shaky. "Just... Just a check-up. If... If--""Dr. Mountainheart is available... Dr. Greenleaf should be getting through her most recent appointment soon.""Mountainheart," he said stiffly. "If... I just...""I understand," she said softly. "I'll page him. If you'd just wait a moment."Matt nodded and stepped back. His steps faltered as he retreated away from the main seating area."Matt?"He went still and turned towards me stiffly. His eyes were wide with terror, and then I could s
