Chapter III- POV Switch -“Are they gone yet?” an icy voice asked, impatiently slamming the cane that was in his hands down onto the wooden floorboards beneath. “Y-Yes, sir, they just left,” another voice stammered its response, closing the door behind the departing figures with a silent click. “Good, let’s begin our discussion, Principal Yuuko,” the voice commanded, moving closer to the shrouded window and peering through...
The White Pawn IVNiels tavern was packed, more so then William had ever before seen it. All of the customers were men of the City Watch too. Neil was holding a special memorial for Albert there, with the drinks at half price. Of course, Neil neither knew nor cared the slightest about Albert, but Will had to hand it to him; he knew how to make the best of a bad situation. William was peeved but didn't blame Neil, he had a...
"I really don't think this is one of your better ideas, baby," I told Teagan with some trepidation. I hung back as we approached the restaurant; I was sure it was going to end in a disaster much worse than when I met his friends the first time. It didn't help this was the same place, either.He shot me a look as he reached past me and opened the door for me. "I don't care if it's a bad idea or not, Aislinn." He waved me th...
The White Pawn IIIThe Sky Cloaks were back to their routine duties when William returned to Bulwark Street. It was good to see them active, even if it was in such a groggy state as theirs. Whatever the hell compelled them to drink so much? He wondered.Back at the barracks, William found the avenue was open to all, Albert's body was gone, and the blood was being washed and scrubbed out from the cobblestone. He approached C...
Chapter II - Hiro -Hiro awoke to the morning sunlight flashing down upon her sleepy eyes. She covered them with an arm and rolled over onto her side. She sighed contentedly at the warmth her bed covers provided her. Just as she was about to sink back into oblivion, her source of heat was whipped away, leaving her shivering in the cold winter morning. “Wake up now or you’ll be late for school today,” her mother snapped, tu...
The White Pawn IILord Street: where the cobblestone ends and the marble walkway begins. To be sure there were always guards patrolling here. Did they see anything last night? William wondered.No, they were paid too well to notice anything outside this street. If a lady cried for help outside this district not a one of these guards would help. But if a poor looking man, or woman, walked through here half the patrolmen woul...
The White Pawn ICaptain William Royce woke with a drum beating in his head. He found himself sprawled out on of the benches inside the, now empty, tavern. Save for the dim light from the oil lantern on the table before him, the place was dark: it was still night. From the looks of the tavern now there was no sign of a party that led to a violent brawl earlier. As a city guard, it was his job to keep the peace. But William...
Chapter 9The school was filled with green all over on Saint Patricks day. Students either with green clothes, green hair, or green anything really, wandered around the halls in festivity. No one was more festive than the twins Caleb and Liam, as Thomas learned the hard way when he forgot to wear green that day. They wore ceremonial kilts and had their faces painted green and carried, what looked like some cheap Toy's R us...

"Where's the others?" He asked.She shrugge...
Nothing Else Matters “Dani,” she heard her husband, Seth’s, familiar voice cut through the dark haze of sleep, his hand gently caressing her shoulder. “Danielle, Wake up,” he said anxiously. “You need to see this.” She blinked her eyes open to see him standing over her, his jawline streaked with a thin layer of shaving cream. “Wha..?” she said, struggling to open her eyes to the harsh morning light that knifed through the...
Chapter I- Hiro -She flicked her hair to the side and looked up from her work, stretching out her sore arms as she glanced around the room. The members of the student council sat at different corners of the room, scribbling ferociously into binders and folders in order to meet the deadline tomorrow. She sank back into her chair and looked over to the President. “Pres,” she announced, startling him out of his concentration...

Methais asked fearfully.The frigid prince doubled a look around him then asked, "Who the fuck else would I be?"The group relaxed, if only a little, and Methais said, "You uh...""Man you look mad ugly right now," Yadriel said.Igor elbowed him in the gut.

Prince Rugal: Chapter 3Ignoring the fact they were running through a small ocean of blood, which was now up to their ankles, Iris asked, "What are we going to do? Thrain is clearly too powerful for us to stop.""We have to do something," Rugal said frantically. "He betrayed us and can't get that wish; if he does, we lose our chance of getting our home and families back."As they reached the steps, a golden light shined down...
Later on, Julie and me went to the tavern and met up with Tilly. She was still upset about the whole guy agreeing to go with her thing."Really Tilly there is nothing wrong with it! I think the thing that is bothering you is that you don't think you look pretty enough!" Said Julie.It was true, though. Tilly had never seen herself as a pretty girl. But she was. And when Julie had her hand in Tilly's look, well let's just sa...
