  • Pact with the Devil

    Pact with the Devil

    Pact With The Devil (Alex) With Hunter clinging around my neck I followed Vin through the halls and down into the bowels of the Night Life building. “Probably should have left the kid,” the vampire said. I rolled my eyes. “I’m pretty sure that’s impossible with his dad unconscious and feeling whatever he’s feeling.” Though…

  • I’ll Fucking Kill Her

    I’ll Fucking Kill Her

    The next few are between Unexpected Guest and Fighting Phobetor. The bathroom run was not surprising since Nox had been asleep for so long. And leaving him was easier now that I knew he was better. He wasn’t stumbling or wincing when he moved. He had no bruising and I had looked. And he was…

  • Nox’s Recovery

    Nox’s Recovery

    I burst into the room that was to be Nox’s and found a man wearing an old brown leather jacket and a cowboy hat standing over him. Ant had him pressed to the bed. “Good, you’re here. See if you can calm him down.” The man looked at me and smiled as he moved out…

  • All According to Plan

    All According to Plan

    The meeting broke up quickly. Each person taking a moment to shake my hand which was perfect for me, I got to feel each of them out. I didn’t dig as they spoke to me but I got to hear their plans for the future how this was perfect opportunity to show just how much…

  • Who Are All These People

    Who Are All These People

    Ant and I talked for a little while longer, Ryan left us to do whatever his mistress’ bidding was. He just sort of left, and Nick left when Ant told him too. I was curious about what he saw, but Ant was pulling me along to the conference room down stairs and if I thought…

  • Not What I Bargained For

    Not What I Bargained For

    Ryan moved to the kitchen. “You hungry?” “Not really, Sage made me eat before I got here.” “Good kid,” Ant said. “Your girl leave alright?” Ant chuckled, “She will leave after Allison brings her a bite to eat.” “You aren’t feeding her?” “Allison is a better at it,” Ryan said. “Bre is used to business…

  • Into the Vampire Den

    Into the Vampire Den

    I finished eating with Sage opposite me. I’d never actually talked to the hacker, only worked with him. I hated that the more I talked to him, the more I saw why Nox was his friend, and how they really had grown up together in a world where being different was shunned. I knew all…

  • Poison and More

    Poison and More

    I was sitting in Nox’s favorite booth at Bonnie’s waiting on one of his best friends who had hacked his own friend for me. Made me wonder what kind of friend does that. Though I had paid a pretty penny for him to use his friend. So I guess he was better friend than it…

  • Passing Time

    Passing Time

    We got to see Nox the next day. The little ones were with Ryan and the twins were with me. But it was only me they let in to see him. Ant had been asleep in the middle of the day. He looked horrible, his body was purple and blue and he looked tagged lying…

  • Oh Hell No

    Oh Hell No

    The next few are between The Dream and What Happened. Oh Hell No (Alex) Everything happened so quickly once we got to the Garrett’s apartment. Nox was nervous, and defiant and the supplicant and it was all so very fast and I swore I saw the fucking thing form before it flew at me. Nox…

  • The Black Blur

    The Black Blur

    Between Inducing Nightmares and What Happened? Leaving Nox was probably the hardest thing I had to do. His confession was rattling my head, all I wanted to was to protect him. And whatever the fuck this thing was had to go. He took it all with ease, like it was no big deal. It bothered…

  • Nightmares

    Nightmares

    Between Dream Recreation and Not So Morning Bliss Seeing Nox again had me all over the map – figuratively and literally. What was I doing? I kept asking myself. I knew I’d seen him at the bar, but ignored it. I ignored the fact that Nox was in Vegas, I heard him the moment he…

  • Demon Free

    Demon Free

    We stayed until the demon was nothing but ash that blew away on the wind scattered to the far reaches of my mind. Phobetor was dead, I wondered if that meant anything for me. Alex took my hand and we stepped out of the dream together. I gasped from the puppy pile and everyone yelped…

  • Fighting Phobetor

    Fighting Phobetor

    It was dark. And the pain grew with each lash. I could feel my body trying to heal as fast as it could, blood dripping down my body before the next one hit, and then the next. The nightmare kept going well past its usual ending. On and on, living in this nightmare. I tried…

  • Unexpected Guests

    Unexpected Guests

    Alex sat at the bar while I started breakfast and Vin stood by the door. “Is this your normal wake up time?” I shrugged. “I have no idea what time it is. I’m starving so it doesn’t really matter.” Alex held a finger up and pulled out my watch. “Before they moved you I grabbed…

  • Happy Reunion

    Happy Reunion

    I was hot, almost too hot, when I woke from the forced dream state. Alex had smirked at me as we kissed, but didn’t do anything else lest I moved while the doc was stabbing me. The simple thought had made my heart race until Alex kissed me again to soothe my nerves. I woke…

  • Heal Me

    Heal Me

    Alex was feeding me chips of ice. He was enjoying teasing me even as Doc was trying to talk to us about the results. “These levels aren’t going down. Is this a natural reaction to the drug?” I shrugged. Alex answered sorta reading my mind but putting it into his own words “Nox says that…

  • Waking Up

    Waking Up

    Sex in the dream was always interesting. First we were here, then there. Me on top, Alex quickly after. And Alex had much more fine control of things. Dream walker and all. But I didn’t care. He was mine. And I was his and here nothing kept us apart. But in the real world my…

  • What Happened

    What Happened

    It was strange being in this dream world. I wasn’t used to it. But from afar I recognized it. The tree, the sky and everything. It was in every dream with Alex. And as if the thought summoned him I saw him crest a hill and walk towards me. I felt foggier than before, like…

  • The Dream

    The Dream

    There was an enormous amount of pain, and difficulty breathing in the darkness. And then there was peace, and emptiness and nothing. I remembered the feeling but I couldn’t place, it couldn’t remember. Why couldn’t I remember? There was nothing for so long, that when I started to feel again I reached out. My power,…

  • The Fall

    The Fall

    I chased the demon inhabited body to the roof. Garrett stood near the edge looking down. It had been years since I’d been up here. The rush of air against my skin, the lack of oxygen in my lungs, the fucking paralyzing fear coursing through my body with each step I took closer to the…
