I found my little group in front of the computers. I sighed with my loss of time because I had to deal with Margo. I was going to have to deal with Margo or some therapist while I stayed here. I should have told her about Levi. I should have said something about Jo. But…

The room was small that I waited in. A comfortable couch, faux leather and you sank in deep. It was like wrapping up in a leather pillow. But it smelled like so many other people I wanted to gag. I hated when smells overpowered everything. I had to take a few deep breathes to calm…

I started asking around about how I could get some computer time and I was repeatedly asked when is your group’s time? I had no idea. No one gave me a schedule, which meant that it looked like I got it many an hour or so day. Lori said we could go just before lunch.…

Between the time I had woken up and I was able to actually leave my room had been enough time to get in another longer workout and I found I was able to walk a lot better. Still weak and it strained my muscles but thank god for Venatori metabolism and healing power. I was…

Dev’s hand was warm in mine. His fingers twined around mine and he felt safe as he reached past the veil of this world into the next and stepped through. My mind swirled with colors and notions and I wasn’t sure what was happening. I felt nausous. My stomach recoiling much like it does when…

There was darkness when I drifted to sleep. It wasn’t the same kind I remembered. It was quiet and still but I wasn’t afraid. There was no fog, or red glow. I floated in the nothingness. It was eirie. I felt things shift. In the blackness there was solid ground. I thought of Dev. Of…

We all chatted, well mostly I talked, they asked questions. They probably knew my whole life’s story in that one sitting. Seems the new guy always got grilled. But it didn’t feel like that. But then again I was used to spilling my guts with everything. It tended to just fall out. I didn’t learn…

Duke helped me to the dining room. It was far nicer than the cafeteria was in te common area of the AU building. The tables were round and white linen table clothes each seat with five place settings. The chairs were all padded and nice. It almost looked like we were in some posh restaurant.…

My afternoon played out in the common room around a table with four people I didn’t know real well. Jo reminded me of home. But I never got her to open up. She was looking up now, which was good. I hadn’t been bragging when I said I could make most women like me. I…

Sara took me to a group sitting around a table filled with art supplies. Mostly drawing, but there was paints and various other things too. Sara smiled, “Today is art day. I believe tomorrow you have movie day.” One of the girls sitting at the table clapped her hands. “We’ll even let the newbie pick.”…

A thin slip of a girl came into my room while I was looking around. Her smile was perfect, her hair a perfect halo of gold around her head. She had dimples but her eyes were dull blue with not shine or spark. I hoped it was tired and not the norm. “My name is…

Sam rolled me the infirmary elevator which wasn’t the same as the elevators used by normal transport and there was little panic plus it was only up one level in some far off corner where no one really went. Who wanted to visit the mental patients. It was kind of amazing that the Venatori had…

Madison cam into my empty room and shook her head. “I never thought I’d see the day you had a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. And you have two of them and a girlfriend.” “Jealous?” I asked with a grin as she came in and handed me a shopping bag. “I asked Dorian to bring you…

Dee sighed, “I should go. I need to grab a shower before work.” I rolled back to lay on my back and looked at her. Her green eyes still catching the light and I saw the golden flecks. “Look I’m sorry. I’m an asshole sometimes.” “You don’t need to apologize, Nox. You are right. I’m…
