12 hours had past, and Shawn reappeared. He said he was just about there, but needed a little more time. I granted it, I wasn’t in a rush to deal with this, just knew it had to be debt with. My rage would continue for years, a few more hours wasn’t going to hurt anything ( Read more... )

So, every once in awhile I decide it's time to tie one on, and it's always about then that all o' the stupid seems ta happen. Saturday was a good day. We had set out to stop spirits from causing college kids to commit suicide. As it turned out a depression spirit was there pushing them beyond their point. A death spirit, sitting in the twilight, ( Read more... )

I had been gone. It was likely my largest mistake. I had heard the call, the need for help, another war in another land, with those not strong enough to defeat the enemy that rose against them. Jo had been on a "quest." It happened more and more often. The more she looked into her spirit side, the more they required from her. So she'd gone, and I ( Read more... )

I'd heard it from multiple angles now. They could all see what it was I'd become, it couldn't be hidden anymore. It started with Kincaid. She told me she'd used me too much and that I'd grown too close to the beast. Kincaid's smart, smart enough to know half the time I put on the dumb face so that everyone around doesn't see it coming when I need ( Read more... )

I get told Kincaid, Charlotte, Aukete, Zelda, Tech, and Thib are all going to this gathering in "nowhere" New Mexico. This domain that appeared as if from nowhere but claims to have been there all along. Ran by the house of Wax. A bunch of retards that claim an Invictus title and hold NM only because their too tubby to move off the throne. So I ( Read more... )

The night always starts the same. I get up, I shower, I get dressed, and I hunt. All vamps hunt, it's the way o' things. First you get hungry, then you prove why even the Ventrue are deadly predators in their own right. But I hunt different. They're hunting fer food, money, power, whatever. I'm hunting my own kind. I'm tracing the patterns their ( Read more... )

I'd been planning this for well over a month. There's times when Jo and I have a hard time connecting. She's off saving the world from one thing while I'm off saving it from another. I'd been putting a lot off. Having her analyze the "Spirit Slayer", telling her about my meeting with the Griffin's and what it'd done to me, my most recent bout with ( Read more... )

He had done this many times before, with many different partners. As time progressed, and he had to do it more often, he realized that it had become increasingly easy. It was generally something he didn't enjoy, and didn't prefer to do, why a group of undead predators would want to gather in a confined place he'd just never understand. Once a ( Read more... )

He rose the next night with a renewed vigor. It was finally time to go home. Home itself had become a strange concept as it was ever changing. It was no longer a place that he could "hang his hat on" so much as people that he could lean on, and who no longer minded leaning on him in return. These were the thoughts running through his mind as he ( Read more... )
