Trouble in Little China
The shop Dean and Cass went to was in China town. Which was probably par for course since every movie ever send you to Chinatown to get exotic herbs and remedies of the homeopathic variety. It was classic movie and since this was my dream – it was perfect. And having trouble in China town…

Presents
Cari was backing my new company. And with only the money that I had saved I had done my shopping. I started with the easy ones first, the ones I always got gifts for. I got Jace a new jacket. For some reason he was a New York Knicks fan and had been pining over…
-
Kinks
I watched Alec and Magnus a little while longer before I stomped up the stairs so they’d hear me coming. They weren’t my lovers and they’d probably be pretty pissed off if they knew what I’d been doing. I was used to covering my tracks. I shut down everything on my computer before leaving it…

Wrap Up
It had been a little under a month since I had returned from my European Tour of the alleys and dark places. The four vampires who had kept my family captive are dead now. But not because I said so. I gave them to the Vampire Council. They were charged with revealing the Clandestine Providence…

The Kitchen Show
I’d found a dealer in archaic magics. He had the ingredients we needed. Oddly enough it was a man Dean knew. Not exactly sure how or if the man would recognize him, but he and Cass went with the password to get the ingredients. Magnus decided to prepare the concoction with what we had in…

Waking Up
The vampire burned. There was no stench of burning hair or flesh, just flames turning a dream to ash. When his body died the true death the flames stopped and he crumbled to ash. I knew Ant had done his job. And now the dream walker was dead. There would be a mass destruction of…
-
Exorcism Required
I was grateful that no one could read my thoughts. I found a lot of black magic sites, but even I knew to stay away from them. So it took me to find something I thought might work while Dean, Cass and Alec argued about the best method to disspell a demon from a body.…

Don’t Take Too Long
Everything was as I left it. The big black man was scowling at me when I arrived in my own dream. The moment he saw me he sneered and spoke, “You come back for more. You are such an idiot.” I shrugged. “I might be an idiot but I wasn’t gone long enough for you…
-
Deep Dark Secrets
Alec changed the subject from my love life. “Dean and Cass are downstairs trying to make heads or tails of your computer program down stairs.” I hurriedly got out of bed, “They didn’t touch anything did they?” Alec shook his head. “Magnus wouldn’t let them. But they are trying to figure out what is all…
-
Habit
I just wanted to post this little snippet to get back in the habit of posting daily – as December will fall here soon and I don’t have many scheduled posts. And with Great Power may not make it to the end of the month, and AJ doesn’t have anything after the First Vestige, so…
-
The Void
I remembered being here before with Dev. My head felt better. I still felt like I was a failure. But I wasn’t hearing that chant. Dev turned me quickly around, “You okay?” “I’m fine.” I smiled to reassure him. “Who the fuck was that? And what he was doing in your dream?” “A vampire –…

A Race
AJ won NaNo! Finished And with Great Power, but had to resort to short stories to fill out the word count. And she’s not done with the last one yet. But her and the kiddo are running a tight race. image count of 6000 to show the race going on, both AJ and Ray have…
-
Rambling
I woke up in my own house, in my own room, on my own bed. Everything was quiet. The sky was dark and I realized that I’d been asleep at least until night fall. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I really didn’t know what was going on. Last thing I remembered was fighting…
-
Dream Walkers
Depression. Anxiety. Panic. they were not foreign entities to me. I recalled a time in my life when they were close friends. When everyday was a chore to get out of bed. Some days if it hadn’t been for the fear of disappointing Dae’lin with my absence I would have stayed in bed. Failing to…
-
A Fight
Azazel chuckled. “Nice try hunter.” Scratching sound sounded all around us and I turned around to see thousands of skittering creatures crawling on the walls, scurrying towards us with their little clickity-clacking feet on the cement and pavement. What would Nox do? It didn’t matter really, but I knew what I’d do in a game.…
-
Falling Down
I was back in my dream world. I was alone. I knew I’d be alone. I hated being alone. I never wanted to be alone again. Dev was fighting with Sage and Dee. I didn’t want to know what turmoil I had caused them. Dev was right, I wanted to curl up and cry, but…
-
The Docks
We took the train as close as we could and then we walked the rest of the way. Alec was quiet so I didn’t have to talk about things. I wasn’t sure if he was angry with me or just quiet. Or worried. I wasn’t good at reading people like Nox or Dev. We only…
-
My Family
I wondered where Sage was and Dee too, they hadn’t been with Dev and the boys. Cari and Ryan were bloodied and battered but they didn’t look worse for wear. Tony and Francesco looked even less tainted with blood when I saw them sitting on the couch in their living room. There was a wide…
-
Regrouping
Alec called Magnus and told him where to meet us. The other three would meet us outside the demon perimeter a few blocks away. Alec asked, “You have any weapons? I don’t want you to get hurt.” I sighed. His words just a reminder this wasn’t what I did. This was Nox’s job. I didn’t…
-
The Reason
Ant helped me up and Matt and Morana came with me. Morana’s eyes were now a light blue instead of vampire red. Her hand was clutching at her little blue dress and Matt lifted her up with ease. Ant shook his head. “How can you be so friendly with the vampire Matt? She just tried…
-
Waiting
We were both sitting in our chairs watching the computer and Alec’s device work. He still had to power the thing, but neither of us were actively doing anything. We were seeing demon not spots. And we were tracking Dean, Magnus and Cass through Magnus’ cell phone which oddly enough worked in our world. I…
