"But how?" Haidan asked, pulling Serenity closer to her as if the creature would attempt to snag the new-born. "Aren’t they supposed to reside in the inbetween?"
The inbetween was a place where most mages and dark beings resided. It was placed somewhere between the human world and the world of the supernatural. We weren’t able to see it, of course, thanks to magic, but we were all aware that it existed.
"I don’t know." I admitted, shooting a glance at the hide behind who was now examining everyone in the room carefully. "I would say that we could question this thing, but they’re unable to speak."
One thing that was known about the creatures that resided in the inbetwe
Asher’s eyes grew wide as he realized that I recognized him."Get off me." He growled attempting to loosen my hold on his arms.Given the fact I was currently in my lycan form and he was not fully up to par he was unable to get me to budge."Where have you been?" I demanded getting off of him and changing back to human."You’ve got the wrong guy." Asher said, quickly standing up and pulling his robe tighter around himself. "I’m not this Asher that you speak of."I lifted my brow as Asher spoke. I didn’t know who
"How?" Haidan asked, pulling away so that she could get a good look at Asher’s face. "How are you alive?""It’s a long story." Asher admitted rubbing the back of his neck. "Maybe I should tell you another time."His eyes darted from Haidan to Antoine, who was standing inches away from Haidan with an unreadable expression on his face."You’re fine to tell us now." Haidan insisted, oblivious to her overly jealous boyfriend. "Come, sit down. I’ll make us some drinks.""Drinks?" I asked, perking up slightly. "Are we talking about adult drinks?"
Bright sun blared against my closed eyelids, forcing me to wake up. Groaning, I threw my arm over my eyes in the hope of blocking out the nuisance, but with no luck."Thia…" Chloe’s sweet voice called from beyond the doorway. "Are you awake?""Yeah." I called, sighing.I had just managed to fall asleep a little before the sun came up. After my freak out over seeing Ashton, I went home and laid in bed until my swirling thoughts decided to shut the fuck up.Letting out a long sigh, I got out of bed and stretched before looking at the clock on my bedside table. It was just ten minutes past nine, meaning I h
Theo and Chloe were already out on the porch waiting for me when I arrived home. Chloe had decked herself out in a white sailor dress with a parasol that was meant to block the sun from her caramel skin.Theo was the opposite of her, decked out in all black, with his hood pulled up around his head and a pair of sunglasses resting on his nose. The kid was definitely spending much too much time with Leah."Where’s Leah?" I asked as the thought hit me."Inside playing games." Theo sighed, and if he didn’t have on the sunglasses, I was sure that his eyes were probably rolling.Letting out a long sigh, I heade
"THIA!" Leah shrieked, nearly causing me to go deaf."Calm down." I growled, pulling the keys to the car out of my pocket and slamming them into the ignition.Putting the car in gear I squealed out of the clearing and began to make my way down the dirt road. I could hear thumps as the centaurs arrows hit my car while they gave chase."THEO AND CHLOE GET ONTO THE FLOOR!" I roared as an arrow broke through a window, sending glass shards spraying everywhere."Are we going to die, Thia?" Chloe asked, whimpering."No, sweetheart." I responde
I could hear the centaurs' hooves slamming into the ground as they closed the distance between themselves and me. I had to give these guys one thing: they were fast. Very fast. At this point, I could only hope that I made it to the ambush before I was caught.The trees blurred past as I ran for all that I was worth. My lungs screamed for air as I exerted myself more than I ever had in my life. Which was saying something given the fact that I was a trained warrior."You might as well stop running!" Kellan called from much too close behind me.As his words hit, I felt the wind whip across the back of my head. I knew that my time was up and that they had managed to catch me from that feeling al
Night fell rather quickly after the crazy ordeal that I had experienced during the day. How had a simple picnic turned into such a disaster?The twins were both pretty shaken when we arrived home, and Leah was also not quite her normal self.I felt bad that they had to experience that, but in a way, they would have to at some point or another. In our world, things weren't all sunshine and roses. Most of our kind begin training at a young age, but I was adamant about letting my siblings be normal, even if just for a while."Are you leaving?" Leah asked as I pulled my leather jacket from the coat rack beside the front door."Yeah." I responded, giving an apologetic smile. "I have to take
I looked down to see a look of amusement on Ashton’s face. Just the sight of it alone took my breath away. This was probably the first time that we had managed to get along, and I wanted to freeze time so it continued.However, time continued, and before I could say anything else, there was the sound of rustling bushes just below."Ssshhh." Ashton hissed, placing a finger to his lips as if I didn’t know that.Nodding I looked down and waited to see who or what was there. For a few minutes, nothing happened, and I began to wonder if maybe it was a night creature, when the bushes rustled again and someone dressed in a robe carrying a large rucksack appeared on the trail below.
