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…

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…

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…
-
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…

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…

Sam’s head was on my shoulder, Emma was just staring in behind us. She was trembling with fear, I could feel her fear. I muttered again, “He won’t hurt you again. And if he does I will take care of it.” Emma put her head on my shoulder and relaxed a little bit but we…

At the bottom of the stairs we heard Garrett open the door and when I looked down he was staring up at the three of us. But he huffed and turned back down the hall and I assumed to security to see about getting the recording. I stood up with the kids in my arms…
-
I stalked over to Garrett and for the first time in my entire life I didn’t feel like I was five in his presence. I felt like the man I had become because of him. Because of the things he did to me. I wasn’t weak. I wasn’t a doormat. I wasn’t some fucking toy.…
-
We sat wrapped around each other for a long time. No one bothered us here. We’d only be kicked out if there was a scheduled lesson. Sam stopped crying and I hugged him tight before I held him away from me. “Can you take me to Emma? We need to stop this.” Sam nodded and…

I paced outside the orange door in the lower Academy levels. My shirt ironically matched the color almost perfectly, but you could only see the v of it beneath the gray hoodie I had zipped almost all the way. My hair and nails matched my shirt today. I was trying not to be nervous, but…
-
Sage had helped me into Dae’lin’s office and sat me down in one of her office chairs. I leaned forward with my head between my knees. Sage was squatting in front of me looking at me with concern. I smiled wryly at him trying to reassure him. But I knew it wasn’t working. “You alright?”…
-
When I got back to Dae’lin’s office and the fish bowl Sage was talking with Dae’lin in her office. I stood outside the open door half listening but mostly watching Sage gesture with his hands and speaking quickly. Dae’lin waved for me to join them and Sage turned to who she was beckoning and his…

After we all recovered we were inside and in headquarters via the service elevators we’d brought Naomi and Gordon in on. It was almost deja vu except Walker was still not up to par. “Go to the Infirmary. I got this part. I’ll be there when I’m done.” Walker didn’t even hesitate as I got…
-
I kissed the top of Sage’s forehead and left his basement apartment office space. Thankfully the phone was in New York City. It was in Hell’s Kitchen at the moment – stationary and hopefully doing her thing. And by her thing I meant hacking. I asked. “Sage, can you get a status on your friends…
-
Walking around Hell’s Kitchen was a bit nostalgic for me. It was Adrian’s territory and I used to walk around the neighborhood before and after sessions when I was avoiding my other lessons. I’d grown a lot since I first roamed. You could tell where the roan wolves holed up in Adrian’s pack. The area…

Ant grabbed my elbow, and we stepped into the shadows. There was a wrenching sensation, and we were sitting in another set of shadows. I crouched down near the floor and held my stomach and fought back the nausea. Ant chuckled above me. “You always take it so poorly. Even Allison who is weak in…
-
We took the train to Sage’s house. Ant hide in the shadows but since most of it was underground it made little difference. He didn’t have to be there. But this was his contact, so he came, anyway. Even though I knew Sage would do this for me and all I had to do was ask.…

I missed Sage, but I had things to do. But when I got out of the shower I sent Sage a text. Me 646-555-4512 Tue, 06/26/2015 The shower was lonely without you. 5:37 AM I was outside Kai’s apartment door when I received Sage’s reply. Mysterious blue eyed boy 646-555-2915 Tue, 06/26/2015 You are making…

I made pancakes. I had intended to make them for Drake in the morning. I had more than enough to make a few for Sage before he had to get to work. I got lost in the food preparation and my own thoughts. Thoughts of Sage and life and the fate of humanity if we…
-
Sleep came. So did the dreams. The dreams always came, but they were different. Less vivid. The red glowing eyes weren’t quite so red. More a soft glow just barely making out a color. The pain imagined from the blows was still unimaginable. But when the face came into view and it was time to…
-
I was going to walk home, but I figured I’d forget to call Sage when I did. I could pick up Drake and we could spend the night tossing and turning, but then I’d deprive my father of his grandson. I still took the train home, and I was walking up the stairs as I…
