Collared - Chapter 15 - Lighter
It was an old subway platform, and Dominic didn't know why it had been abandoned. He didn't care, and it didn't matter. All that mattered was the purpose it was serving now. It was new enough to have been outfitted with Lightglass fixtures, but it was...
Collared - Chapter 10 - Squire
Isaac was not an experienced drinker. It had nothing to do with age, he had been old enough to drink for years. It had little to do with the expense of the hobby, if consuming alcohol could be considered a hobby, as money was something Isaac had...
Collared - Chapter 14 - Daydream
_[You__are too weak. Sometimes you have to let someone else take care of things. You can not always save the day, especially if you are not willing to fight.]_ The words echoed through Isaac's head, the only fixed point in the chaos. He knew what had...
Collared - Epilogue - Abeyance
The world had not changed, but many things in it had. The inexorable forward march of time always brought about change, and in the face of that change, thirteen seconds wasn't always enough. Outside, the world was the same place it had always been, but...
Collared - Chapter 24 - The Last Drop of Rain on the Precipice
The world was full of magic, fantastic things that defied explanation. Around every corner, a new miracle or devastation, an undreamed of way to live, an unfathomable way to die. It was a world of _magic_, and the fact was, exactly why it worked was...
Collared - Chapter 23 - Reversal
It wasn't the first life to end that day, and it wouldn't be the last. The security guard at the entrance to the Registry was a symbolic position. If ever they needed to fight an incoming threat, the Registry hardly needed a dedicated security force....
Collared - Chapter 22 - Revision
The day would begin and end quietly, as a leaf caught in a maelstrom might be picked up and whisked off somewhere far away, with no idea of how to return to where from it came. The middle would be loud, and at the end of the day, would leave those...
Collared - Chapter 21 - Recession
"We should just destroy it. Right?" The Lance was sitting unassumingly on Alyssa's coffee table, and the pair sat side by side on the sofa, keeping an eye on it as if it had a personal grudge against them. They didn't trust it. It was an inanimate...
Collared - Chapter 20 - Lance
Already having changed his outfit four times, with a huff, the blonde boy slumped back into his desk chair, letting out a pathetic groan. Never once before had he cared about how he looked, at least not in regards to a _girl_ (or guy, he had to...
Collared - Chapter 19 - Cavalry
He felt like he'd been hit by a train, when he finally came around. It wasn't _waking up,_ as he hadn't been asleep, but rather it was simply coming back to his senses. The room was spinning, and he was disoriented, but Riley was most surprised to find...
Collared - Chapter 18 - Powdertrail
It was the cold, more than the hunger, that got to him. He wasn't going hungry, of course, so that might have had something to do with it. It was much easier to steal food than steal warmth, after all. To steal warmth, that took some time, planning,...
