We walked for several blocks before Sage turned down a side street and then down an alley way. I asked, “Alley’s are a little dicey at this time of night, aren’t they?” He smiled. “I’ve pack protection. Besides you are with me now.” “So you don’t take this alley way without me?” I asked playfully.…

We followed Ant outside and into the back of the building. My stomach churned at the knowledge of how Ant intended us to get to where we were going. He offered me his hand which I took without question. He grabbed Walker by the elbow and he literally stepped into the shadows of the buildings…

I headed to my room for a shower. I could have called Sage, but I figured that would be pointless. So I sent him a text instead. Me 646-555-4512 Mon, 06/25/2015 Have a late night again. Working Late. 1:05 PM My shower was quick and I called Treec. She answered quickly. I didn’t even bother…

After visiting my father I took a nap. It was unlike me, but I needed sleep now or I’d not be able to function later when it mattered. Balance needed to be restored. The one good thing about naps is no nightmares. It was refreshing sleeping during the day when I was supposed to. Three…
-
I walked a small distance behind Walker and Emerson but we didn’t walk much farther when I saw Emerson take a deep breath. I saw fire pull in from the elements around him and build in his chest. It was like watching a slow motion reel in the movie theater. I threw a wall of…

The substation was encompassed about half a block with lots of high voltage signs all over the fence. It was easy enough to hope the fence even with the barbed wire at the top, but I didn’t have to, there was a hole the size of a man burnt into the fencing. As if that…
-
I lead us to the subway station to get to our next destination. The train rattled into the platform and Walker didn’t say anything until the train started moving again. “How do you know when to not shoot first?” I smiled as I sat across from him. “I don’t shoot at all unless they are…

Yesterday was a busy day, I didn’t get a chance to hit the writing. I didn’t wake up with nightmares this morning. My alarm actually woke me up. Sage is still curled up in his bed sleeping. He rolled over when my alarm went off after kissing me good morning. I missed him. I needed…
-
We are almost to HQ in Boulder. Another 1 hour hike, but the boys all wanted to camp out one more night. I think they were hoping that Dylan and Michaela would catch up with them. I think they felt abandoned by them. Left to die. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that…
-
Darwyn came back with his buck, the boys helped him cook it and we ate well outside the ruined village. I buried as many of the bodies I could. Matt and Faelen helped me. Respecting the dead of our fallen foes. All of the boys filtered off into their little cliques. The teams didn’t stick…
-
Shortly after my little speech we heard an explosion in the direction we were heading. Everyone ran in that direction. We were still an hour out by the time we saw the billowing smoke it was too late. I could smell the stench of burning flesh and hair. The fire burned hot and it smelled…
-
We were all a little strung out. All a lot tired. Faelen was quiet, but he clung to Matt’s hand while I lingered with each of the boys checking on each of them. We hadn’t been far from our original camp. It was destroyed now though. Much like the first one we’d come to earlier…
-
We made it to Dae’lin’s office and I knocked politely on the door, but there was no answer. I peeked in the side window and saw she wasn’t there. “No Dae’lin.” Walker started looking and pointed, “She’s in the fish bowl with your dragon lady.” “This should be fun.” I said. Walker and I went…
-
All the boys slept late except for Matt and Faelen. They helped me get food ready for the rest of them. Faelen kept staring at me from lowered eyes. Everytime I’d catch him he’d lower his eyes and Matt would laugh. Matt sat down next to the wolf and whispered to him. But he knew…
-
I must have slept because I woke with a start. Not from a nightmare, something outside my ring of fire was throwing something at the wall of air. All the boys were asleep. Matt was curled around Faelen and protecting the wolf from whatever dreams he was having. I stood up and steped between the…
-
My plans of sleeping were blown out of the water shortly after I’d drifted off to sleep. A flurry of birds shot out of a bush and then a crash into my wall of air. I jumped a mile and fell over startled. The rest boys huddled behind me. Larry and Patrick weren’t the bravest…
-
I didn’t really sleep. Larry got a few a hours of sleep though, he was doing better. We headed to the dot farthest away. And we caught up to him about lunch time. Patrick was bleeding. He wasn’t bitten thankfully. Scratched and mauled but not bitten. I don’t know how he got away. But he…
-
Larry and I found John in worse condition than Chris. It took a few hours to get there, and an hour or so to fully cremate the body. I don’t think I’ve had a more stressful day in my life. I was ragged. I sat on the ground for the hour just staring off into…
-
When I woke up I had only a few hours of sleep. And then I started for the first boy who was closest. He hadn’t moved since the last time I had checked. Which could be good, or very bad. And when I got there it was very bad. So fucking bad. The problem with…
-
I was torn. Torn between going after Nate, who was family by blood, Chris, who was family but choice, or the 5 boys who’d I’d been working so close with? My decision boiled down to going after the weakest team first. Which was going to be Trent’s team. I trusted my boys to work together…
-
6 hours almost to the nose since I went to sleep. Typical. Though I suppose it could have been 4am still like it usually is. But I guess I was so worn out I was able to sleep past it. Shortly after I woke up Dylan and Michaela both stumbled into camp. They were happy,…
