I headed to the Infirmary instead to meet with my so-called Progeny Program Agent. The Infirmary was where Venatori went to get patched up. It was also where research was done and supernatural creatures could come for their ailments. But it held other offices that medical professionals were needed among the Venatori including therapists which…

We still had plenty of time before the bar even opened. It was still early in the morning. We’d left the Archives and Walker headed straight for the elevator. “So what time do you want to hit the Ugly Dog Saloon? Google says they don’t open till 5pm. And that’s a little early for me.”…

Walker laughed as we walked out. “Why agree to meet with her?” “Why not?” Walker shrugged, “She’s not hot. I thought you could do better?” “Better than what?” I asked. “She was in the top of her class. She’s an empath, that’s not a bad gift to have. And she’s full Venatori. Her family is…

The cafeteria was loud and noisy and I ate the piece as Walker stabbed the canned vegetables that were likely very bland. I frowned. “I can make you better than that.” He looked up and frowned at me. “So you do cook?” “I do. I taught myself how when I was 10.” “Why?” “Because I…

Ever since my first hunt I had avoided working with anyone. It’s not that Michaela was a bad partner. We disagreed on everything. She was a kill first ask questions later type of girl. Most Venatori hunters were of the same mind. They didn’t care why a supernatural being was doing something. They put an…

Dae’lin’s office wasn’t too far from the encounter with my father. I knocked on the closed door and the voice that made me jump all my life called out, “Enter.” And I had no choice but to obey. She still made me jump at her commands though now I could ignore then if I wanted…

I took the stairs two at a time for 28 flights. It was nothing. I’d done the entire ground to roof before. Some days I did it instead of going for a run. It was still early for my appointment with Dae’lin, but I went that direction anyway. The Venatori headquarters was a place that…

We were all in the car by 7am. I got to sit next to Naya in the back seat and we had the cutest dialog half way to the City before she drifted off to sleep. Jace drove into work everyday. I don’t think I could manage that. I didn’t like driving in cities, and…

The darkness gave way to images – images that were always darker than the surrounding blackness. How it was possible I don’t know, but it was suffocating and the red glowing eyes came as they did every night for as long as I could remember. They came alone in the silence of the darkness wielding…

We took the subway to Brooklyn. Jason had gone to school with me since we were five years old, but his family was old school Southern. They owned a piece of land down home that provided fresh food to the Apex Unlimited compound and their other subsidiary businesses. They weren’t farmers who struggled – they…

I made my way to the bar on the other side of the room. I would not get drunk, but I wanted a beer none-the-less. However, I never made it across the room before a hand was grabbing my arm and pulling me into the hallway that lead to the bathrooms. “Whoa, whoa, I don’t…

New York City in the early summer was warm but the air around our small little group was nice with a small bite of chill to it. Little lines formed around Mia’s mouth as she frowned at me. “Nox, stop showing off.” I gave my best friend’s wife a wide toothy grin. “I’m not. It’s…
