All Chapters of Blue Thunder: The Rise of the Legend - book 1: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

July 21, 2000Coralis returned home to her UK flat in the early afternoon. The Northerners won the semifinals against South Africa the day before and the team stayed in town for the night to celebrate. When leaving Johannesburg in the morning, her teammates flew directly to Bulgaria, where the finals would be played the following day. Coralis flew to her UK flat instead and planned on heading there later that night.Her roommates weren’t home, so she took advantage of her time alone to listen to her voicemails. Frank had left five messages. Listening to them, sitting on the foot of her bed with her legs folded beneath her, she felt as if she was escaping her world for a moment, even if he merely talked about how his day went, and she enjoyed that feeling. She wanted more of him.Knowing some time before she had to leave for Bulgaria, she decided to call him. She looked at the time and calculated the time difference. Hoping he was home and awake, as it was 8:15 on a Friday morning for h

October 10, 2000Coralis sat at the foot of her bed, listening to her voicemails. In London for the week, she had just made it home from an EBEE combat training session and had a flyball game the next day in Germany. Her flatmates were home, playing card games in the living room. She was so absorbed by Frank’s messages, that she didn’t realize her roommates had stopped chatting and were also listening to them.“Sis, dear beloved sis, when are you going to introduce us to this sweet-sounding male?” said Henry, leaning against her doorway.“No idea, it depends on how long it’ll last between us. I like him, but I can hardly be there. He's human, so he doesn't know about what we are.”“The guy is inviting you to his family. Clearly, he isn’t planning on dumping you anytime soon. So what if he's human?” said Erik from the kitchen.“We heard a lot of his messages when he called and you weren't here. I nearly picked up a few times, but you see, we think he's a decent man for you, so we didn't

November 25, 2000 – 10:00“Are you sure you want to do this?” Victoria.Coralis was getting ready to go meet with Dorothy, her mother’s friend, for lunch. Dorothy had sent her a Happy End-of-Year card the previous year, through the EBEE, but she ignored it at the time.“No, but I need to. With everything going on at work, I want answers about my parents, about what they stood for exactly. My dad said not to trust anyone. Turned out he was right, and probably more than he knew. He said to only trust Dorothy and his sister, so you know what? I’m going to have a chat with Dorothy. I also want to know why she took so long to try to contact me, but I care less about that.”“What I want to know, is why the EBEE keeps sending you on missions involving the CMMA as if you were an actual agent. You are supposed to be an apprentice with them.”“Speaking of which, I need to go to Virginia next week with Eva for a meeting with some CIA agents. I don’t know what they know about us, so we're hoping t

December 24, 2000For the past 2 weeks, whenever Coralis was off the flyball field, she was sent on cases in London and Montreal. She was supposed to fly that night to the Fullemons for their upcoming End-of-Year celebrations, but Frank wanted her to come to his family for Christmas Eve. Wanting to spend some time with him, Coralis agreed to go and told the Fullemons she'd fly there the following day.During the evening, Coralis spoke a lot with Audrey, Frank’s cousin. She couldn’t figure out why, as she was only 8 years old, but there was something about Audrey that intrigued her.Stephanie, Frank's sister, was intrigued by Coralis. She was there the night Coralis fought against four guys to save her mother. A week after the incident, one of her werewolf friends got her to start working at Healing Moon, a trauma clinic owned and managed by werewolves near Mirabel. Stephanie wondered if Coralis was a werewolf, but knowing about the secrecy of their world, she didn't know how to ask her

February 17, 2001Coralis flew to the flyball practice an hour earlier to attend a meeting with the team officials. Remembering what the EBEE elders told her a few days ago, she hoped to have her contract renewed with The Northerners. She knew the team officials wanted to offer her a new one, but it wasn't official yet.She also remembered the elves attacking the royal vampire family in Chicago, and Prince Hendrick calling her the following day to let her know that their elf prisoner was a militant for a movement pushing for the elementals to go out of hiding. She felt that the elves striking King Matthew’s stronghold a few hours after EBEE elders told her to cut ties with the king’s youngest child wasn’t any coincidence.“Three days ago, we received words from an EBEE representative verifying that your contract with us was going to end, stating that it was in everyone’s best interest. However, we had been discussing signing you for another 3 years, as you know. What are your thoughts
