Chapter Fifteen -Sixth Sanctum

Chapter Fifteen The smell of coffee brought me awake even before my alarm clock went off. I had seven minutes to spare. Normally something like that wouldn't have woken me. I'm a pretty hard sleeper and not much of a morning person. But I didn't drink coffee. I didn't own coffee. Hell, I'm pretty sure I didn't even own a coffee maker. After rolling out of bed, a quick glimpse in the bathroom mirror while brushing my teeth forced me to brush and re-braid my hair before I went in search of the strange smell filling my apartment. My hand itched to put a bit of makeup on but the notion was ridiculous. I wasn't trying to impress anyone.

Chapter Fourteen-Sixth Sanctum

Chapter Fourteen "Right. No problem. Boy, this job gets easier and easier." After momentarily closing my eyes, I opened them again to find Peor had vanished. I wasn't surprised. Ha, maybe I was slowly becoming numb. I looked towards Sam and my heart sped up a notch. Nope, not numb and now alone again with him. "What?" Sam all but growled as I sat watching him. I decided ignoring him and his mood was my best option so I stood and started cleaning up the plates and bottles from the living room. After tidying up, I returned and sat in front of the papers that we'd collected from Marty's apartment. "You think that'll help you?" I tu

Chapter Thirteen-Sixth Sanctum

Chapter Thirteen It took me a few moments to understand what was going on. Sam was on his knees, his back facing me and he had his gun out and trained on someone standing in the middle of my entryway. There was someone standing in the middle of my entryway! That someone was short and strange looking. I would bet that he was only slightly above five feet tall. I honestly wasn't even positive that it was a he but the voice sounded more masculine than feminine. He was attractive, slender. His hair was blond and styled in a messy pixie cut. His clothes were remarkably androgynous and well groomed. He had nice hands. I would have pl

Chapter One - Sixth Sanctum

Chapter One Most of my day, I clean, organize or research. It is more exciting and more boring than it would seem at face value. I am a small business owner. Sometimes I feel like shouting that loud and proud and other times I feel like tearing my hair out while admitting to it. I own a shop which specializes in the occult. I carry a large variety of things from mundane objects such as cinnamon and allspice to extremely exotic items like the small Sekhmet statue I just unpacked on my work station. I sat staring at the little figurine contemplating my career. I was a little surprised at myself when I ordered the statue. It was a fair

Chapter Two - Sixth Sanctum

Chapter Two I walked around the workstation and stepped inside the main floor area of the store. I leaned back against the counter and blew out a breath as I glanced down at the slacks that I was wearing. They were light gray and made out of soft wool. They were long enough to brush over the top of my shoes. Shoes were definitely a weakness for me, I saved and plotted and bought well made shoes on sale when I could find them. These were a pair of my favorite soft black leather boots with three inch heels. I always wore heels to work. They made me feel stronger, more sure of myself. At an average height, that extra leverage really mad

Chapter Three - Sixth Sanctum

Chapter Three I glanced at my watch. It was early Tuesday afternoon. The store rarely got busy during the week day. I actually opened the store at 10:00 am and closed at 8:00 pm because the kind of crowd that came to my store usually weren't morning people. If I could figure a way to work it, the store would be more profitable if it was opened in the late afternoon and closed at dawn. The freaks come out at night, as they say. I wasn't surprised that Marty had been my only customer so far but I was hoping it would pick up before long. I scribbled a note to myself to call Cassy a little later in the day. I'm not actually sure if she h

Chapter Four - Sixth Sanctum

Chapter Four While on route to the theater, I pulled my cell phone out and dialed Cassy's number. Yes, dialing and driving was dangerous and illegal but sometimes, I chose to live on the edge. I listening to it ring a few times before I heard Cassy's voice, slightly tinny and obviously recorded, telling me that she was away from her phone but she'd be positively delighted if I'd leave a name and number after the beep. Had Cassy really had that great a life or was she just one of those obnoxiously stubborn people that thought if they pretended hard enough that everything was great than everything really would be great? "Cassy, this is Ale

Chapter Five - Sixth Sanctum

Chapter Five The rest of the meeting went by smoothly. We discussed, or at least I listened while they discussed, international events. The Netherlands and Britain wanted to come out to the world, at least to the powers that be. As advanced and socially accepting as certain European nations were, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that it would be not well received by the United States of America. The Euros were bickering so much between themselves that it wouldn't be a problem for us for a number of years. Australians long unorganized and low in numbers was trying to pull together their own Council and they were thus far successful.

Chapter Six - Sixth Sanctum

Chapter Six I pulled into my driveway and expected Sam to keep driving or circle around in the street. We had reached the destination safely and his part was over. My gut told me though that he was going to stop, however. Sure enough, he pulled his motorcycle along my car in the two car driveway and kicked the kickstand out. His pants leg raised with the movement and I could now see that he was indeed wearing boots. I knew he was a boot type of guy. "Thanks for following me home. I'm sorry to have been so much trouble." How did his hair not get all messy and ruffled? Yeah it was pulled back in a braid but if that had been my h

Sins of Denial - Prologue

Then I knew I was dead before I opened my eyes. I could remember the flash of the light glinting off the dagger before it slid into my chest. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the my hands pressed over the wound, blood creeping over the pale skin of my fingers. I stumbled forward and looked up at my lover who held the dagger that was dripping with blood. My blood. My… There was so little pain. I stopped feeling just moments after the sharpness of the blade bit into my skin. And now there was nothing. Not true, there was blackness and emptiness and thoughts darting back and forth in my head. I dragged my eyes open and the blackness went on

Sins of Denial - Chapter One

Now Chapter One The past flashed before my eyes as I stared down at the young woman. I wasn't about to die, no.. that had happened long ago. She just reminded me so much of myself when I was her age. That had been over a hundred years ago. She was tiny like me and used her size to her advantage. She sat perched on a stool. Cool. Calm. In control as a young man played her beck and call boy. Even from where I sat, one floor above and behind a one way glass mirror, I could see that amused glint in her eyes. She was a predator and all men her prey. I bet it would only take her another week at the most before she broke her toy and

Chapter Seven - Sixth Sanctum

Chapter Seven The following morning came way to early. The night before after feeding myself and the cats, I had tried to relax by working on a few projects for the store but it hadn't worked. I went to bed later than usual and probably didn't fall asleep for another hour after that. Luckily I'd slept pretty hard and even got to sleep in since I didn't open and wasn't supposed to meet Marty until 3. Unfortunately with all the craziness of last night I'd forgotten to call Marty to tell him that everything was set for today at three. While still in bed, I called Marty and luckily he answered while still half asleep. He sounded grateful t

Allright.  I said I would update this week but due to things beyond my control, mostly sickness and doctor visits I didn't quite finish cleaning up the latest chapter.  I'll try my darndest to post it Monday. I'm doing a ton better today, btw- although the medicine makes me sick to my stomach.

Well, I'm back and I've started writing again. The Sinful series was actually easy to slip back into.  Less to read over to refresh and I kind of left a nice spot to pick up to with notes and everything.  Go me. The Sixth series however... well let's just say relatively hellish doesn't even begin to explain it.  There are so many damn little trails to remember in that and I don't want to make any factual errors or flaws soooo 150 pages to reread.  Geeez.  But I've picked up a trail.  Note to self- always leave notes for what the next section is going to be when taking a break.  I should actually have the next chapter in this very soon. It'

Thanks for adding me to your watch, and welcome to DA! A friend of mine has an account in Elfwood and she's always complaining about how strict they are. Hope DA treats you better.

Thanks for the welcome and the watch.

I wouldn't necessarily have such a huge problem with how strict they are if their site was just better designed and made more sense. Everything is confusing and so a lot of mistakes are made but then it takes at least two weeks to get anything corrected and you're limited how much you can correct at a time.

Grrr. But I really shouldn't complain about free sites. I'm still just amazed at DA and how well everything is laid out and run. So far much better. Happy holidays! (If'n you celebrate Turkey day)
