Ander - Part 2: Subchapter 8
8 "Damn that Ander..." Hezzi growled under his breath, taking only the briefest of moments to regard each piece of his brother's junk before tossing it over his shoulder in disgust. To think, he used to be fascinated by this stuff. How stupid. He...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 6
6 "Stop this at once!" someone bellowed so harshly that, for just a second, Ander thought it was the thunder itself speaking to them. A single drop fell on Ander's forehead, deliciously cool, then another and another. He opened his eyes and saw the...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 19
19 "_That's_ your big plan?" Kiana said, not bothering to suppress her chuckles. She didn't think she would ever smile again, let alone laugh, especially not while riding piggyback on a Wolf tearing through the forest at breakneck speed in the dead of...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 32
32 The blow caught Kiana in the stomach. It was more of a shove than an actual strike, but coming from such a large Wolf it was still more than enough to knock her down. She fell to the ground with a splash, her dress now smeared with his...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 9
9 It was a completely different world beneath those branches. The wind didn't cut into him so badly, and the canopy shielded him from much of the rain, but the drops that did make it through were huge and fat, dripping from boughs that creaked and...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 8
8 "No, wait, that's all wrong!" Ander said, his fingers rising to his temples almost automatically. He shook his head from left to right, as if maybe this could make the pieces fit together, because they sure as hell didn't fit right the way Father...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 6
6 "Wardo, you filthy bastard! You followed me!" Kadai growled, watching him emerge form the trees with that infuriating grin on his face, the same grin that always made Kadai want to deck the sneaky bastard where he stood. Sarah twisted around in his...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 10
10 The guard was still missing, so that worked in Kadai's favour. He awkwardly put his shoulder to the gate with Ander still in his arms, his feet constantly slipping and sliding in the mud. It was difficult, but he managed to push it open far enough...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 7
7 "I don't need to tell you what happened after that," Father said. "You already know it, and I'd rather keep that memory to myself." Ander nodded, but what really shocked him about his father's story was Wardo's intent. He knew the trig old Wolf...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 4
4 He could feel the heat from the bonfire even at this distance, as if the air itself was burning. So many familiar faces. There was Jargo, who would sometimes get impatient with his daughter and beat her until she was lame. There was Moka, who...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 11
11 They were just as he had left them; mother and child. The only difference was that there was even more blood now, slowly coagulating from the edges. He could clearly see the border of its hardening in the reflections of the candles posted...
Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 37
37 Hezzi's eyes flew open, and the first thing that raced through his mind was not relief at the fact that he was still alive, but horror at the change in light. Even in this gloomy place of sickness and death he could see that the world was much too...
