We tramped over, and as we stepped from the thick trees, we all stopped and stared. Then Corey raced forward, arms raised.It’s a road. Oh my God. A road! He dropped to his knees by the roadside. Oww.D...
We took the truck. Corey’s mom’s SUV would have been more comfortable, but also extremely recognizable with the police logo. Not that it mattered, since we were already being tracked, but I could hard...
We told them everything--well, almost everything. I was saving the stuff I’d found out at the cabin. This was enough for now. Too much actually. Despite having seen our powers in action--my near-trans...
We spent the first half hour being escorted around the room, introduced to what seemed like every politician and business leader in the state. I know I should have been impressed, but I couldn’t help...
We need to stop the bleeding and get some ice on that. He paused. Are your teeth…?I ran my tongue over them, ignoring the sharp tang of blood. Present and accounted for.Good. Hold on then.I did hold o...
We need to slow down for you. You’re in pain and you’re not going to remind us of that.It isn’t that bad. Really. I--See? Gotta be a tough guy. I lowered my voice so the others wouldn’t hear. How’s yo...
We lay there a moment, entwined around each other, panting. Then I lifted my head to look at the room. Two broken lamps. One ripped pillowcase. One damaged headboard. Not bad ... Oh, shit. Was that a...
We have Kenjii. We have my cell phone. Since we aren’t yet officially dating, I’m sure you’ll agree that’s all the protection we need.Dad choked on his coffee.Mom waved us to the door. Go. Have fun. D...
We had one gun, one werewolf, one poltergeist, one supercharged spell-caster, one not-so-supercharged spell-caster, and one perfectly useless necromancer, though Liz was quick to remind me that she ne...
We got out. I glanced at Daniel.He sighed. Go on.You sound like you're giving a five-year old permission to play with an unsuitable friend.If the shoe fits...I flipped off.Watch it or I won't marry yo...
We ditched the car in one of the big shopping plazas in Nanaimo’s north end. From there, we’d hop a city bus to the ferry. Before that, though, I found a pay phone. I put in my money and dialed my gra...
Was it a camp? Daniel asked. Sean nodded. A naturist camp.Maya will feel right at home, Corey said from his spot on a wooden lawn chair. Daniel sputtered a laugh and Sean tried to hide his.Naturist, n...
Walshes had been taking advantage of gullibility and stupidity ever since they conned their fellow cavemen out of their spears. Highwaymen, pirates, swindlers, and card sharks . . . their family histo...
Wait, Daniel said sharply, not a request but a command. I swore Rafe’s hackles rose.Just hold on a sec, I said.No. I’m sorry, Maya, but this is nuts. I need to get to town and see if Annie’s there.Go...
Under normal circumstances, I’d run there, and try to make it back by the end of lunch period but--Not when we might have a man-killing cat roaming around.
Under normal circumstances, I’d run there, and try to make it back by the end of lunch period but--Not when we might have a man-killing cat roaming around. Come on. I’ll drive you.He started toward th...
Uh, Maya? Corey called. You said she was dangerous, so can we leave the kitty alone now?Something’s bothering her.Daniel walked over. Is she hurt?I don’t think so. Just…upset. Anxious.Um, yeah, Corey...
Too much of anything reduces the overall effect of happiness and satisfaction.
This is the first adventure I’ve survived without being kidnapped, attacked, knocked unconscious or possessed by evil spirits. A ripped blouse? Ruined skirt? Bad hair? I’d call this progress. ~Jaime V...
They aren’t following us, Corey said. aren’t they following us?They know it won’t be hard to find four kids tearing through the woods, Rafe said. Daniel’s right. We need to split up. Better than that...
