Blood Rose-8
He had been hoping for Lila and almost frowned when the scold came out to warn him against things he would never do. He never would have made Cassie cry. At least, not intentionally. He did his best never to make children cry. He'd killed them the...
Blood Rose-7
She curled up one night to sleep, but left one eye uncovered. She had never watched him ready for sleep and she felt compelled to do so now. They knew little of each other, despite their travel time. He seemed aware of her shifts from Cassie to Micha,...
Blood Rose-6
He wrapped his arms wrapped around her knees, squeezing her tight as she let her more feral side play out on him. Her leap of faith was rewarded, as he dropped the dagger to the ground to fall backwards and bowl them over. He felt her needle sharp...
Blood Rose-5
She blinked at him blandly before asking, "Must you curse? It's so...unrefined." She pulled off her pack and rotated her shoulders a bit. It had been a long while since she'd had to carry it for any extended amount of time. It wasn't intended to sound...
Blood Rose-1
The kingdom of Tufan had been crushed by a triple alliance, burning all to the ground and taking no prisoners. Homes were burned to their foundations and families fled to underground shelters where most starved to death. Mack was a frighteningly...
Blood Rose-4
"I need no food as of now. The Sisters feed me well." she added and looked off into the distance. She tried to remember her family. She had come to mother as Fury. She had left her family as Cassandra-Cassie. She couldn't remember where she came from...

Blood Rose-2
"I'm afraid this is going to be excruciatingly painful." she said with mock sadness. She wasn't sadistic by nature but sometimes she wished initiating the process was a bit easier. She placed her paws on his chest and pressed around, taking a quick...
Opposing Forces-3
Despite the seeming mutual dislike the two displayed in the office, they had managed to settle into a kind of reluctant partnership. One where he picked on her until she snapped at him or bodily removed him from her space. They became the secretaries...
Opposing Forces-2
The day only got longer as she sorted through files and called people to calmly threaten them over trivial and amateur mistakes that could cost her a case. She'd only lost two cases since she'd accepted her diploma and she wasn't going to allow the...
Opposing Forces-1
The small flustered fox panted as she passed her paw through the door of the elevator and squeezed in next to a harassed looking raccoon. She had never been late to a meeting in her life and she'd be damned if she was late to one now. She pulled out a...
Mine
The night was dark and cool, a whisper of the spring to come. The last thaw had passed and tiny shoots were tentatively poking their small heads from the chilled earth. A small puff of air fogged in front of the muzzle of a small feline with a shock...
