Nathan's heart was racing when he woke up. He looked around, expecting to see a Hunter appear from behind a tree or maybe Kieran's face above him. The preserve was quiet though. Undisturbed. There was a feeling in Nathan's gut that he hadn't felt before, though. A bloodlust that had seemed stronger during his sleep but hadn't faded completely ( Read more... )

This hadn't been a good day. Jasper hadn't known what to think when he'd woken up distinctly female. For a guy who had a few fears tied to the female gender, it'd freaked him out enough that he'd had to get out of his room pretty damn quick. He really didn't want to be questioned on this because he had no answers and that wasn't typical ( Read more... )

Skulking about in the preserve might not really be the best idea Jasper's ever had but it'd been something he'd wanted to do for awhile now. Most of this island was a mess of wide open spaces, water and small, dark alleys that were one cigarette smoking guy in a trench coat away from a film noir.

Amused, she continued making her way through the preserve.

The island had settled down and Nathan had been glad of that. He'd missed being out in the preserve, missed laying on his back and staring up at the stars through the thicket of branches and leaves. By the end, the preserve had been whittled to something sickly and cold ( Read more... )

Nathan had been spending a lot of time in the preserve lately. As the weather warmed, it was easier to lose hours just running through the trees, tracking teal deer, and just sitting in the quiet. It reminded him of home and he'd been thinking of home a lot lately ( Read more... )

The sun was just dipping below the horizon when Celia made her way out to the preserve. Given the cold (and she'd bundled up, though her companion likely wouldn't need to) and the -- island, she figured that they were likely to remain uninterrupted, but it still didn't hurt to pick a fairly secluded spot, all the same ( Read more... )
