In The Spotlight - Encore Performance
Cheers from all around rose as I stepped onto the stage for the first time in what felt like far too long. While the announcer began his spiel, I tuned it out, eyes squinting though the golden lenses of my mask as I peered past the lights, looking for...
Ashanti - Graduation Day
"Mom! Where's my skirt?" I called down the stairs as I hung halfway out my door, blouse half-buttoned and only a pair of my special panties keeping me "decent." "Check the bathroom doorway!" Shi called back from the living room as...
Ashanti - The Bonds That Tie
"Can I help you?" I shook my head, trying not to blush while Arianne hung onto my arm, looking at the products on the wall in front of us. As the tiger clerk nodded and turned to go talk to another nearby customer, I let out a small sigh of...
Ashanti - Filling In
"Are you crazy?" I hissed, quickly glancing around to make sure no one had noticed. "We can't have sex here in the middle of the school day!" Thankfully, for once the girls bathroom was empty, and I gently took Arianne's wrist and pulled her...
Ashanti - Meeting Arianne
"Freak." I gritted my teeth, trying not to bare my fangs at the bear who'd whispered the insult as he walked away laughing. The past month I'd seen the principals more than I had in the past five years combined as word had gotten out about my......
Epic Mounts - Becoming
"Next." As Aidan led me up to the door the hospital attendant was holding open, I wanted nothing more than to run away screaming; from this waiting room and from the entire hospital. I wasn't afraid of the doctors, or what they might do.... I...
Epic Mounts - Damsels and Dragons
"So," I said, first looking down at the strange sheets of paper on the table in front of me, then back up at my draconic boyfriend sitting across the table from me, "where do I start?" I still didn't know how I'd managed to let Aidan get me involved...
Epic Mounts - Proper Use of Joysticks
"Stack up!" came the call, and suppressing a sigh, I moved my ranger in with the rest of the raid. I always hated this part of this boss because of that blasted dead-zone, and Firestorm's seeming disregard for giving rangers anything to do in...
Flights of Fancy
It was a cool wind that blew down the slopes, a few melting piles of snow showing the signs of spring starting to reach these far northern regions. That wasn't the only sign however, provided that you knew of the ways of dragons. Or were...
On The Battlefield
"I repeat, this is Lieutenant Lucas Weissritter, Gyrfalcon Charlie-Echo-Niner-One-Two, requesting immediate assistance and pickup. Under pursuit from three bogeys, identification type unknown. Coordinates attached to this message." Flipping off the...
Sharp Steps
"Sharra, wake up!" The snow leopard-like girl slowly blinked open lapis blue eyes, raising her head to give an icy glare at the feline head poking in through her yurt's flap, whose ears folded back a bit in annoyance that mirrored her own. "The...
Making Scents of Life - Part 6: Farewells
BREEBREEEBREEEBREEBR- Michelle slapped the alarm clock, nearly knocking it off the table as she turned it off. With a sigh, she slid out from under the warm covers and padded over to the bathroom, pausing a moment to look at herself in the...
