Calypso
“THERE’S A LETTER FOR YOU REECE!” I shout into the castle as sift through the mail. Usually someone brings the mail to everyone but I’m anxious about receiving a letter.
I recently sent a letter to one of the greatest warriors in all of were-history asking if I could spend time training in his pack. He hasn’t sent anything back but I check the mail everyday just to make sure.
Reece storms into the room and snatches the letter from my hand.
He scoffs before reading it out loud, “I know you’re probably mad about the work trip but I’ll be back soon. I love you. Kim. I love you, Kim? Can you believe this?” He looks up at me. “She has an emergency work trip with no cell service and the best I get is a card saying I know you’re mad and I love you? What bullshit is this?”
“I don’t care, Reece.” I finish sifting through the mail, throw
CalypsoI hate this typos party. I hate the alcohol and the smoke. I feel like I’m in a haze.I break off from Morgan to find Kiaan. I don’t know what it is but something tells me I should stay close to him tonight. I circle the party and instead of finding Kiaan, I bump into Josh.“Hey, Calypso.” He says with his mega watt smile. His smile isn’t as nice as Kiaan’s. It’s too symmetrical. Kiaan’s is slightly crooked to the left, especially when he does a half smile to the left.“Hey, Josh.” I smile halfheartedly back. “Awesome party.” I gesture to the party going on the level below. On the main level, the dancing and drinking is happening. On the level above, with the bedrooms and bathrooms, is where people are getting… frisky or where the deep conversations and smoking is happening.“Thanks.” He stands closer to me as we look ove
KimThe darkness eats at me, mocks me. I used to love darkness - being snuggled up with Reece in bed at night; staying late at work and watching the city breathe - but now, it’s lonely. This room is filled with extraneous amounts of crap and yet it feels empty, I feel empty. No more am I filled with the life blooming in my womb. I’m empty.And all I keep thinking about is Reece. Not how he would want me home safe and sound but how angry he’ll be. Angry at me for choosing to send Matteo home instead of bargaining for our babies life.I wanted a baby, I truly did, and I would have loved it with my whole heart but I have to admit, it feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I feel so, free.Maybe I’m just loosing my mind!I’m probably loosing my mind. I love my mate and I want a baby with him.But… why do I feel this relieved if that’s what I want?
“Want a cup of tea?” I ask Derek as he enters my room.“Get up and get ready to train.” He says with his hands tucked behind his back.“No. I don’t think I will.” I pour another cup of warm tea into a delicate tea cup and sip it while carrying on with my book.“Reading will not save you. Fighting, strength, will.” He bares his teeth.“Perhaps. But what use is muscle without a brain to wield it.”He growls at me.“I don’t like you. And you don’t like me either. So why don’t we just call a truce and leave each other be?” I can’t concentrate on the words as he glares at me.“That is not how this works. Do you know what a shadower is? I’m supposed to train you so you are ready for when a God chooses you. So your body has the strength to hold the power being a true angel offers. Y
JabHookHookBlockJabBlock 2 months 2 months of this:RunningBurpee’sPush-upsSquatsSparingWeapons training Every Single Day Everyday we start at 11 in the evening when the training ground ‘close’ and work until I start to loose my vision. Which typically is about 5 hours in. And we always end by 5 am when the other beings begin training. I’m starting to get stronger. I can feel it. My body is stronger than it has ever been. And the wind… it stopped speaking but is always near. Like it walks in my fresh footprints. Always at my back. “Enough.” Derek drops his hands and takes a step away. I glance at the clock above the mats - 4:30. “You did well but your mind is elsewhere.” He grabs his water bottle. It looks so out of place. An ancient Fae-
The Daemonium POV“So it is with great honour that I introduce our newest member, Miss Kimberlee Mylean Ashyver.”The room erupts with applause as I end my speech. The wooden doors open to reveal her, in all her glory, at the entrance. All eyes turn to her. Why wouldn’t they. She is draped in a flowing white dress with gold trim. A Gold leaf crown braided into her hair and real gold dusted onto her cheeks. She looks like a Greek goddess. A vision. My vision. The missing ingredient for my wonderful concoction.She stops at the base of the dias and bows deeply. So different to the first time she appeared here.Once the music begins to play, I take her hand and lead her to the middle of the ballroom.We sweep around in a magnificent crescendo.“That ensemble is outstanding.” I lean in and whisper into her ear.“It should be,” she whispers back, “you chose
RoyIt’s been three days since Kim’s been into work. Three days and no word. Not an email, call or text and I’m starting to worry. It’s not like her. She lets me know if she’s going to be two minutes late because they got caught in traffic but she doesn’t show up for three days and says nothing? That’s not like her.“ROY!” Kira shouts. She sounds panicked. “ROY!”I stand from my chair and rush out my office. She’s running towards me.“You have to come, quickly.” She grabs my arms and then turns and drags me towards the elevator.“What is going on?” I’m now running with her to the elevator. She presses the parking button and the elevator doors close.“It’s Matteo. Someone dropped him in my parking space. He does not look good , Roy.” She rushes out of the elevator. “I’m so luck
KimThe clicking of boots against the damp stone let me know nothing in particular. In the time I’ve been down here there, the clicking boots could mean 1 of 3 things:1) someone is bringing me scraps2) Derek has come down to talk to meor3) The Daemonium has sent someone to beat me“Miss Ashyver.” Skits across the walls. So number 2.I don’t bother with a response or moving from my slouched position in the corner of the cell.Scraping of metal replacing the clicking makes me look up. A plate in front of me catches my eye. I look up and into Dereks eyes.“Don’t look at me like that.” He says softly.I say nothing.“You brought this on yourself. You should’ve just listened and followed him. You could’ve just…” I cut him off.“Done what you did? Been a coward?” It’s
Kim ‘I was listenin' to the oceanI saw a face in the sandBut when I picked it upThen it vanished away from my hands, down’ Mom and dad! Look! Maybe if I wave my hands they’ll pay attention. I can do a jump in the water. Like a dolphin. Mommy is so pretty. Her hair goes curly when she gets out the sea. Dad loves touching mommy’s hair when it goes curly like that. Dad loves Mommy. ‘I had a dream I was sevenClimbing my way in a treeI saw a piece of heavenWaiting in patience for me, down’ Dad! Look! Maybe if I move out of the leaves he’ll see me. Look how high I am. Woah. It’s so pretty from up here. I can see the whole world. Maybe one day I’ll actually get to see the whole world. But I can’t leave Dad. Not when he misses mom so much. Not when he still loves her so much. ‘And I was runnin' far awayWould I run off the world someday?Nobody knowsNobody knows, andI wa
