Jo curled up in my lap on my bed. I sat against the wall a pillow behind my head trying to rest, but knew I wasn’t going to get any sleep. Morning came I felt the sun’s arrival. It was odd feeling that distant pull of the moon, knowing that tonight was the real full…

My eyes opened slowly as my head pounded from the alarms going off. The doors were locked and all I heard was the screaching of the siren. My head hurt. I missed Sage and Dev and now I was in the middle of a situation I didn’t find tenable. I didn’t want to be locked…

I wondered why the darkness was there. I guessed I never truly learned how to dream with my nightmares always present. But the tree was mine and I stood staring at the barren bark from a distance. A green patch lay at it’s feet nestling the stone dragon in it’s roots. And two paths where…

Sage took Dev home. Night couldn’t come fast enough. But the thought that the three of them were alone again together made me cringe. I knew I would be there with them, that it wasn’t their fault I was locked up in here. I had done it willingly and knowingly because I knew the Venatori.…

Dev and Sage sat down on the floor whatever energy they had expended had exhausted them. I stood over Levi’s bed and sent the elements through his body. He had fallen still after we’d done what we did – whatever it was. His face was relaxed. The rhythm of his breathing was that of sleep.…

I didn’t have time to deal with whatever they were having problems with. I walked down the hall towards where I knew Levi was. I could hear people in room as I past them. I felt the fear and smelt it as I went. It got stronger the closer I got the the boy’s room.…

The look on my face or the thoughts running through my head must have queued Dev into something. His smirk changed from it’s normal curve to a frown as he grabbed my t-shirt and pulled me towards him. “It’s not one of those talks pretty boy.” He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine.…

I leaned back against the chair and let my head fall backwards. I ached. My body still was still repairing itself it seemed and I had expended a great deal of energy in the fires. There was a knock on the door and Madison was outside, “He’s in here. We’ll have someone bring his lunch…

I didn’t really hear someone came in on a higher level, but when the cold hand touched my arm I jumped. But I had heard them gasp and come in. I had changed the pattern around me to avoid anyone else. I heard a soft voice but the blood rushing through my ears and the…

My room was empty. The bed was lumpy and I truly missed Sage. And Dev. Fuck that man was becoming ingrained in my life as much as Sage had. Why? I kept asking myself. This was Sage’s thing. He wanted more. Needed more. I didn’t. I just needed Sage, yet Dev – there was just…

I was going to become the guy who stormed out of therapy sessions it seemed. I didn’t want to be around people. I wanted to go home. This place sucked. I headed towards my room but got distracted when I heard a faint scream of terror. I stopped in the middle of the hallway and…

The door opened and a man in a brown tweed suit and gray wisps of hair on his head stood in the doorway looking down through glasses perched on his hawk like nose. “Mr. Sétanta?” “Yes, but it’s Nox.” I said. I really hated being called that it reminded me I was still my mother’s…

I woke from sleep groggy and unsure where I was. The sun was streaming through the window and there was a room wide buzzing going on. I’d slept through my usual time. I rubbed at my eyes wondering what time it was. There had been dreams – dreams of Dev. And Sage and Dee. There…

This was the first time I’d gone to sleep willingly wanting to fall asleep immediately. I wasn’t tired, I was far from tired. I was excited. Excited to see Dev. And that was just the possibility of it. But I closed my eyes and pictured Dev lying next to me and the stars on my…

The remainder of the day I tried to find Levi but no one knew where he was. I couldn’t get anything from the Archives while in the ward. They frowned upon doing work and they frowned upon doing anything productive. I was going to go fucking crazy. After computer time we had an hour to…

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…
