Falling. She was falling. And wasn't it great?

The thrill of it lifted her, filled her, and for the moment she didn't care that he'd left her, didn't care that another vampire was after her, didn't care that Jake was running himself exhausted to keep her safe.

Don't do this.She could still hear Edward's voice in her head, pleading with her not to ( Read more... )

This shit was magicalIt was the weirdest super power Kate had ever heard of -- even weirder than the shit Princess Valhalla Hawkwind could do -- but it was all kinds of awesome as well. Being able to grow her hair had been pretty cool to start with and she'd spent the better part of yesterday doing just that after discovering that she could. All ( Read more... )

It's probably not totally professional of him. In fact, it's not. Professional. Still. What Charlie's got is tonnes and tonnes of experience of being sent to psychiatrists and what he knows is this: that, sometimes, you can talk and talk and still, people just aren't listening. And, when you're a kid, there's nothing worse. Charlie might be ( Read more... )

Not quite like clockwork, but reliable nonetheless, the island had unleashed its unique brand of mischief on the island once again.

In all of her sixteen years, Faye Lee had never woken up in an unfamiliar room. Days were meant for adventure, for exploring lands and harbors unknown, for venturing as far as she could with the energy that she had.

There seemed to be a few advantages to waking up in an older body; kissing boys got easier and funner yet more confusing, bikinis seemed to fit her a hell of a lot better then they did before and she absolutely loved doing things.
