  • Informant – Manhattan Pack

    The train ride was slow as my mind sorted through the reasons why Dominic would be freaking out. The Dragon was using wolves to do the run around. I was still waiting on Liam to call. I got off the train and headed for the Apex Unlimited building. It was still hot but I would…

    I hate my life sometimes. I probably got three hours of sleep thanks to the dumb ass kid who decided to get lost. But does my mind and body let me sleep – not a chance. I don’t need to be up now. Hell, I tried to go back to sleep. Even Dylan rolled back…

    OMG Dumb ass kid. Lost his compass and his watch, which means he lost his tracker. We spent the better half of the afternoon looking for him. We found his compass near a creek. And the watch under a wayward pine. Trent went back with the boys, they weren’t going to help much with the…

    Well navigation is going well. The boys all took to the compass like fish out of water. Even James and John listened. Getting lost in the woods didn’t appeal to them. But failing shouldn’t appeal either. But hey not everyone was into that sort of thing. Each of the boys headed off in a different…

    I started awake with a hand touching my face. I blinked my eyes to see who was standing above me. The touch was tender, the hand was rough against my skin. Brown eyes stared back at me. I couldn’t in the darkness. Everything was blurred with sleep. The form bent closer and I caught the…

    I didn’t have time to think about this morning. Trent was already on us when we had come back from calling Dorian. We started with how to make traps first. There were lots of different kinds. But they had to make them all. Rope was the best. But there were holes. One of the more…

    An unusual night, still had nightmares – the same one. The same violence. The same feelings. I woke with a start, as I always do. You’d think I’d be used to these dreams after all these years, but the dream wasn’t just me. It was a boy and a girl the same age. There was…

  • Informant – Comfort

    As I took the elevator down I pulled out my phone and I called Sage. I smiled when I heard him answer, “Hey.” I said, “Hey yourself.” I know people in the elevator were looking at me strange, but I didn’t care. “I am going to be in your neck of the woods and was…

    It was another busy day. Full of teaching the boys how best to handle injury in the wilderness. Since all venatori are taught to hunt down other supernatural creatures. We had to teach all about how you could get injured, and how you could fix it, or what to do in the event you might…

    I woke to my nightmares. I bolted upright and I could feel the blood dripping down my back. I hated this feeling. I wove the elements around me and let their healing take affect. The skin knitting together always felt weird. I didn’t like feeling it. But it was necessary. The fires all were dead…

    While we walked the boys through the forest I kept an eye on Matt and on Dylan. He was acting strange since our morning conversation. He avoided me. Which in and of itself was not unusual, if you take away the fact that since this trip started Dylan had not been avoiding me. I was…

  • Stepping out…

    Stepping out of our regularly scheduled programming. AJ needs beta readers for a guest post. If you are interested in a sneak peak of the post shoot me an email at nox.durante@gmail.com and I’ll send you a link. The post will be at the very minimum linked to from here since as always it’s about…

    I missed Sage. I love hearing his voice even when I didn’t understand a word of what he was doing. Sage was still working when I called. I told him I just wanted to hear his voice, it didn’t matter what he said. So he put his phone in front of his keyboard propped up…

    Matt sat with me for a good twenty minutes not saying anything. His eyes were downcast like he was avoiding looking at his peers. He looked like he had one too many beat downs too. I felt for him. But I didn’t have any sage advice so I left it be. I just sat with…

    We are on lunch break and the boys were taught and all three groups found the creek that was a mile’s hike from camp. We informed them of the situation. The pool was for swimming but not drinking. And water was up out of the pool for drinking. I doubted the boys would walk a…

    First up-find shelter. The boys have to learn all about wilderness shelters before they can sleep in tents #CampNaNoWriMo #DarwynnsLaw — Nox Sétanta (@NoxSetanta) April 3, 2017 OMG James and John are so …. aggravating! — Nox Sétanta (@NoxSetanta) April 3, 2017 Tho Chris and Patrick are doing a damn good job – listening and…

    I’m up. I didn’t bring my sketchbook with me, so this will have to be my nightmare therapy for now. I hate waking up with my heart in my throat and feeling like it’s going to burst out of my chest. I didn’t even try to look at my back this morning, I could feel…

  • A Big Mess – A Name

    Naomi was sitting in the room alone. I grabbed Walker by the arm and turned him towards me, “What’s going on? Why is no one talking to her?” “She won’t talk to anyone but you. She keeps throwing fire at us. Anytime anyone gets near the door.” “Why didn’t anyone call me?” I asked. Dae’lin…

    The hike to the new camp site was rough – even for me and I’m in shape. We hiked for another four hours. After a quick lunch at the ruined camp we started out again. Dylan called HQ from his satellite phone used for emergencies and told them about the fire and our new plans.…

    I'm scouting ahead cause there are too many drunk boys and they are going to be stopping a lot. #DarwynnsLaw #CampNaNoWriMo — Nox Sétanta (@NoxSetanta) April 2, 2017 Camp isn't too far now. But I smell smoke. This isn't good. — Nox Sétanta (@NoxSetanta) April 2, 2017 Shit! The camp is gone. Burnt to the…

    My nightmares were worse than normal. Thankfully the eyes were red and not blue or orange or even green of dragon who killed my sister. That was a new one – Margo’s green eyes staring back at me as the tentacles fell on my skin. I didn’t know I was afraid of Margo until that…
