Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 50
50 It was the scream of his daughter that awoke James from a terrible nightmare of bleeding roses, pulling him back into a world far, far worse than anything his tired mind could dream up, because in this world, all the horrors were frightfully...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 49
49 "You do realise if either of those boys looks in the wrong direction at the wrong time, this entire idea of yours is bust, right?" Sorrin whispered. They were standing just outside the north gate, and he was slightly out of breath from the long...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 48
48 Hot! Valery could feel Banno's breath on her neck and it was so hot! She could feel his tongue slathering her throat, and that was even hotter! Just a slimy lump of meat covered in drool, moving up and down as if he were sucking on a choice piece...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 47
47 Renna's tears were already starting to freeze in the cold night air, clinging to her fur in hard drops of ice as she moved through the village, her little pack slung over her shoulder. She stopped and looked back at the tent she had grown up in....
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 46
46 - midnight. Renna pulled her head back inside the tent, more frightened than she had ever been in her entire life. Nilia had told her to be ready to go when the moon reached its highest point, but she didn't know if she'd be able to. She hugged...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 45
45 "Hyk-" Nilia tightened her grip around Ivio's throat, pulling back on her wrist so that her bicep cut off his windpipe completely. "Go to sleep, Ivio." "Eeergeghegheeeg!" He writhed beneath the weight of her body and clawed at her arm, scratching...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 44
44 Hyker stopped dead in his tracks. "Hey, Ivio. Stop for a second." Ivio did so, but reluctantly. "Whaaaaaat, what is it!?" he moaned, hopping up and down, stamping out a hole in the snow. "Something's not right here." He swivelled his ear,...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 43
43 Valery was dealing with a bit of a predicament. She was all snuggled up in bed, with her knees pulled all the way up to her chin and her tail curled around her legs. The blankets were up over her head, creating a nice, warm little cave. She was...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 42
42 It was cold. Much too cold. This wasn't normal. It wasn't supposed to be this cold. Maybe it was just naturally colder this side of the mountain, but Banno didn't think so. His presence alone should have been enough to keep it at bay. That proved...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 41
41 -our... SOUR!! Arghek!" Mateo's eyes flew open and the gutrot hit him a split second later, making him groan. He burped, felt a little better, and sank deeper into bed. Was this his bed? Was this his room? He blinked his eyes and looked around,...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 40
40 Mateo was having the weirdest dream. He knew it had to be a dream because the big brown lug was in it, and he didn't have any reason to talk to this buffoon in real life. Still, he didn't want to wake up just yet, not until he could put the bastard...
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 39
39 The little gap was way too small for Ander to wriggle through like Kiana had, so he had no choice but to dig out a little slope first. Kiana helped by cheering him on. After much huffing and puffing, he finally clambered outside and had a good...
