Edge of Dark

I ran a far and as fast as I could.  In wolfskin I fled them, cutting myself as I cascaded through the throng of thorns.  I didn’t know how they found me, but I knew why they are after me.  They wanted to bring me back there and I will die first.  Let me start ...

Timeline: February 17, 2009 The night seemed colder to Rey, like the world was warning her. She should be home in bed, or snuggled in front of the fire reading a book. Instead, she stood at the crossroads just south of town, the frigid light of the moon reflecting off the ice and snow. Her ...

Timeline: February 16, 2009 Rey set up a meeting with a Lune for the night when the half moon hung in the sky. This was also the final night of Anu’s gifts; none would be granted to the pack after this final night of the promised week. It was in the woods, when the half moon ...

The conversation with Ann-Marie last night was interesting, to say the least. We talked about many different things, and I think I finally managed to get through to her about some of them. She was surprised I’d wanted to talk to her. As it is with every time in the past, she said things ...

Timeline: February 8th, 2009 late night Rey smiled down at Hamilton. He was stretched – or rather, practically draped – across her lap, purring contentedly. She’d just finished brushing and otherwise pampering him after spending some time working on the bar’s books. The money situation wasn’t too bad yet, but things couldn’t keep going this way ...

I saw Jesse today, and learned something that has me both scared and very angry. Angry at that vampire bitch, but what else is new. She claims to be Jesse’s friend, but no friend would do that to another. All Ann-Marie cares about is personal power. I don’t care what Jesse ...

Timeline: February 8th, 2009 Rey gave the huge pot of venison stew a stir. She smiled, enjoying the aromas, and set the lid down just as the timer for the bread in the oven rang. She’d made it from scratch, trying out a new sourdough recipe. In fact, she’d made two loaves to make sure she’d ...

Okay, its my fault.  I know that.  And he seems cool with everything now and that’s good.  Wait a second, I’m getting ahead of myself… So we have several days to kill.  The Queen of Sin’s friends are a strange lot.  None of them leads the others really well.  They kind of move in a general ...

Timeline: February 6, 2009 After Jesse left, Rey gathered her groceries and headed for home. She was quiet until they were out of sight of the bar. Hamilton, what do you think of Jesse’s offer? The cat trotted along behind her. Very interesting, Miss, he replied. A Lune is a powerful spirit. Who knows what ...

Timeline: February, 2009 Ann-Marie took the time to create an invitation by hand, crafting an elegant design and hand-calligraphing each letter precisly. It wouldn’t do to simply go knocking on the door of someone she only knew in passing. Once completed, she signed it and placed it in an envelope and mailed it across town to ...
