Chapter Sixteen

They had gone back to get their cars, but Atlas had left his car to them as Ben, Blythe and he went to his house as soon as they could. Doug headed straight there as well, but he had to drive his truck. Luckily, the roads were relatively clear of traffic, so they were able to get there in good … Read More

Chapter Fifteen

When Dominic asked if Blythe was feeling alright that day, Zoey was surprised- and also confused. They had passed each other in the hallway earlier, and she had appeared fine at the time. She told him this, and he gave her a confused look. “That’s strange,” he remarked. “She wasn’t in Biology. Did she have an appointment or something and … Read More

Chapter Fourteen

They arrived at the water park and it was like a scene from a movie. For starters, the day had proved to be blisteringly hot, and once Zoey quietly confirmed that it wasn’t the fault of Atlas, and that he couldn’t even do that, she thought that she had never seen a place so beautiful. Doug agreed, and looked a … Read More

Chapter Thirteen

“Sullivan!” Oscar cried out, scrambling clumsily to his hands and knees and crawling closer, tears starting to form in his eyes. When he did so, his arm gave out under him and his chin would have hit the ground, if not for Lynda barely managing to catch his torso as gently as she could. “You’re okay, it’s okay” Sullivan told … Read More

Chapter Twelve

Zoey packed her book bag with clothes and the things she would need for the trip, and even though she had practiced a few times flying, she was less than excited. Most of the times she had to fly had been due to being saved, but this was promising to be a longer trip than any before. She headed over … Read More

Chapter Eleven

Zoey hadn’t been to Skyler’s place before, but she saw that it was much larger than anyone else’s house that she’d seen previously, although she had to admit she hadn’t visited all of their places yet. It had nice little gardens around the property, including a small one beside the steps. When she paused to look at it, she saw … Read More

Chapter Ten

“Do you think he knows we’re both here?” Doug asked Ferris, who sniffed, but then responded, “Probably, I’m not sure how he knew we were here at all, so it’s best to assume he knows everything and be careful.” Rebecca opened her eyes again. She sighed, and then unfolded her legs. “That sounds like… Karver Zinc, he’s with JARGON and … Read More

Chapter Nine

Zoey had just finished watching one movie out of a stack of movies at Rebecca’s place with Zabrina. Rebecca was joining them at school on Friday, just to start out again, and had been studying with Lynda a bit as well. They were socializing with her in order to make her feel a bit less jumpy, and Ferris was skulking … Read More

Chapter Eight

When she got into Doug’s truck on Monday, she was surprised to see Ferris was not with him, and inquired to where he was. “Oh, he wanted to be picked up second for some reason, saying he had to finish a project really quick but…” Doug trailed off, as if he didn’t believe Ferris but couldn’t quite call him out … Read More

Chapter Seven

There was a pause of course, as there is when anyone who has given up hope hears what they never thought they would. “What?” Ferris asked softly, as if he hadn’t heard right before. “I saw her, she was on a floor below me, and it was from far away, but I saw her, she looked at me. I didn’t … Read More
