Hobbies
Hobbies are one of those things everyone has. Some people restore vintage cars. Those are some pretty impressive things once you think about all the money and time someone spent doing that. I mean even if the person who currently owns it just bought it, someone before him spent the time and effort to make…

Let’s Eat
Dee and Sage were chatting happily while eating. I plated myself and Dev and set a place next to Sage and Dee but he pulled it back to the same side and stood with me. “I can stand.” Dee asked, “So Nox, what do you do for a living?” “I’m a bounty hunter.” Dee giggled,…

Interruptions
Matt was in the hall holding Drake and he and Fae were laughing. I walked out and smiled. “Hey guys.” “Daddy!” Drake called out. I heard footsteps behind me. I glanced behind me and saw Devin following me. Matt frowned, “We were supposed to go to Mr. Viddens weren’t we?” “Sage’s memory is shit, he…

Wide Ass Open
I’ve not done a whole lot of traveling in my life. I’ve done the Rocky Mountains, mainly the Colorado Rockies, some of Wyoming and Utah and New Mexico. And I spent time in Florida when I wasn’t in New York City. I can’t even say I’ve been to Upstate NY (or the whole rest of…

Dinner Date
I came downstairs wearing a pair of black jeans, a black t-shirt and the blue shirt Sage liked. The one that matched his eyes. My hair was easy enough to change to the sapphire blue, but I still had black painted nails. It was about five minutes after Sage had left to answer the door…

Nerves
I wasn’t a date kinda guy. And this felt very much like this was a date. I was cooking. Sage was comfortable with them. They’d been on a few dates but that was about all I knew except that he smelled like them everytime he’d seen them. Sage was wearing blue jeans and a black…

You Can’t Make ’em Drink
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make em drink So many idioms, so little time to understand them all. This one’s pretty simple. You can provide the opportunity but they may not take it. I could probably go on and on about how this is what happens with the Venatori, but…

Coffee Shop Talk
I was always marveled by the Night Life building. The money that was sunk into the research alone was mind boggling. Every window pane in the glass blocked the harmful rays of the sun that killed a vampire. It’s no ordinary glass. It’s not UV blocking. It’s something else. Someone more scientific minded my be…

Tracking Down the Dragon – Alone Time
Trix and Sage worked on the task at hand until pizza arrived when they both took a break to eat. They two hackers chatted back and forth and I listened. I felt very much like an outsider and a jailor. I wasn’t part of their world and I didn’t understand. But I wasn’t going to…

Reflection
Lunch with Sage turned into dinner with Sage and the next two days pretty much followed the same pattern. Except my dreams. While there was no heart bursting, shooting awake moments, there was fear when I woke up. It wasn’t my fear that I felt. I woke up safe against Sage’s side, his arm wrapped…

Legends
There are tons of myths and legends that run around the human world. For every supernatural occurrence there is some human explanation for it. Vampires and werewolves become tales you tell your kids to scare them. They make movies about them twisting the word of mouth stories even further. And you never really get the…

The Mystery Blogger Award
I few days ago I was nominated for another award. I’m so impressed that there are so many of you that feel my ramblings are deserving. I’d like to thank Gansu from Sugunag’s blog for nominating me for The Mystery Blogger Award created by Okoto enigma. This is an award for amazing bloggers with indigenous…

Company
Company I was nearly done with lunch, it was just sandwiches made from left over steak we’d had the night before. Sage would just eat it plain, I liked to use it to make something else with. But Sage ate anything I offered him. Sage walked into the kitchen with a smile. “I always like…

August Challenge
I’m trying to do different things so I don’t bore you all with the same drivel. I always end up saying the same thing. This July AJ’s working on a Photo Challenge. (Code AJ wrote!!!) I’m thinking in August I’m going to do a random music video prompt. AJ found a site, random music videos…

Lost In Thought
I think I fell asleep in his lap because the next thing I knew he was tapping my back and whispering, “Nox. I need to get up.” I stretched as I extracted myself from his lap and he shook his head, “Like a baby.” I grinned at him, “Hungry?” “Always.” Sage intoned. And I went…

Never Forget
Elephants never forget? Why is that? Actually don’t answer that I don’t really care. That kinda thing is an actual talent among the Venatori. I know I’ve mentioned it before. Dorian’s photographic memory and all that. He never forgets anything he reads or sees. Which is why he’s so very anal about writing things down.…
-
I Need a Break
I hung up the phone and walked around the side of Sage’s house and knocked on the side door where my love was still working. He called out, “It’s unlocked.” I opened the door and shut it behind me before I put my hands on his shoulders and he looked up at me with a…

Calling Dad
After dealing with a bunch of dip shit parents I needed to go for a run. I changed clothes in my apartment and then I went for a run. I ran for a good hour before I found myself at Sage’s house. I called my Dad while I sat down on the front stoop of…

Missed Chances
A short following Rockstar and before The Children of Morpheus. Weeks of being with Nox had changed things drastically. He’s shown me things I never knew existed. There is this little boy who is half a dragon and he can do magic and has these beautiful orange eyes, a dark skin that isn’t human and…

Venatori Parents Suck
Dylan didn’t bother apologizing he was walking around me and looking at Sam who was clinging to my hand. I smiled at Emma’s parents. “My name is Nox Sétanta. I’ve been dreaming about your children.” The women gasped apparently they knew of the dreams. “We might want to sit down and talk.” I said Emma’s…

Tracking Down the Dragon – Chevalier
After twenty minutes Trix broke the verbal silence. “Can I get some Mountain Dew and chocolate?” I nodded. “You want anything Truth?” “Coffee, please.” “Alright. I’ll get you some hacker food.” I stood up and left the room. I knocked on Dae’lin’s door. “I need to get some caffeine for the computer geeks to make…
