Come tell these men out here why you keep staring at me, will you?” The woman actually blinked at him and rose without hesitation, her hands going to a small pouch on either side of her belt. She stalked over like a beast of some kind, smooth and sinuous. Dorgal looked outraged that Tor would do ...
"I can't..." "Of course you can't. The Lairdgren students didn't leave because of you at all, but because of society. Yes, we need some kind of mechanism to get those of noble birth to treat those of other classes as people, but..." He shrugged and remembered to smile. Just in case it was close e...
It meant taking a trip and that would mean taking guards. The polite number was four. More than that, she was informed by Karen, was a sign you were aggressive, less than that could mean anything, from being poor, to simply having come for something so pleasant that no one would even think you ha...
It meant that, half an hour later they were all collected in the Raintree high school parking lot. It was almost bizarre, seeing it so empty. There were no other vehicles at all, except for the three that they'd brought, not even a weekend custodian's old truck, or anything like that. The expanse...
Everything functioned on the ship itself, and while there were some small issues with the magic, since some of the science types didn't know how to use it, the crew worked things out for them in a pretty quick fashion. They had all they really needed that way. Good food, clean water and the toile...
"Going to school after your visit?" It was teasing and Tim nodded, looking down at the plain brown clothing he still had on. "A point. Let's see..." He focused and caused one of his old visiting outfits to appear. It was silver and black, but not overdone. It was early still, not a party and real...
Keeley openly teased Karen Benson, who was near forty, but looked a lot younger, not more than thirty really. Lean, well made up, and dressed almost perfectly for a group party planning session. The woman had greeted her with a hug even though they’d never met, and Eve with shock, clearly both re...
The boys wouldn't let her get hurt at all, and the worst thing that would happen would be that she had a bit of a meltdown after killing a few people.To pass the time she decided to do some cooking and make a casserole for Gladys. After all, the woman had been traumatized, and was probably feelin...
The air smelled too. Heavy and damp, with hints of moist earth and strange plants. The one good thing, as far as not being noticed, was that he was literally sitting in a bush. Someone might make him out in the daylight, but until then he was pretty safe. There was really nothing to do until peop...
Just after they got there and Gerent managed to collect a dozen hugs at least from various people, Trice started making the rounds to get her plan into motion. Timon wasn't invited along for that part, not at first anyway. That was the deal, wasn't it? She had to make it happen. He put the odds o...
I'm so sorry Darla. Am I fired?" Keeley really had. It wasn't like her to do that, but she'd gotten distracted by Demon stuff and just hadn't gone. Getting the items from Edith's old house in fact.The statement got a slow head shake as her sister looked around the school cafeteria. It was Tuesday...
She explained to the blue garbed translator that stood in the room with her about the party and how she kind of had to be there, being a head of state now, technically. The translator passed the word along and asked her to wait briefly. Hathe came in quickly, nearly running it looked like and loo...
Power Chapter one Keeley didn't really care today. Normally she did well enough on that score, being sympathetic to the plight of others, trying to get good grades and all that stuff. The things that a normal girl should be concerned about. At the mom...
Power Orange Cat Publishing Chapter one The cell was too dark inside to be comfortable, and it reeked, like urine and less savory things. Desperation. Pran didn't want to admit it to the others with her, but she was all too familiar with the odor they were ...
Power Chapter one Tor had been angry before in his life, but it had never been like this. Not exactly. Rage swept through him, a red-hot thing that made him feel like he wanted to kill someone. Like he had to and there was no real choice in the matter. Honestly i...
