Evey had woken early that morning, expecting to feel the warm familiar weight of Marcus at her back before he got up to go meditate...but he wasn't there. She put a hand out to see whether the bed was still warm and it wasn't. Perhaps he couldn't sleep? She sat up to investigate and immediately noticed the absence of more than Marcus in the bed ( Read more... )

Evey still wasn't sure what to think about it all.  According to Grigg's very apologetic but apparently truthful explanation some months before, she was not only the subject of a comic book but also a film.   What's more, it was a film that he'd seen at the cinema.  The comics were really bad enough, but to discover she was also a film was ( Read more... )

Mailbox for Evey Hammond

Evey was walking the paths of the island in search of her somewhat elusive boyfriend, if a man in his thirties could really be referred to as a "boy."  Things with Marcus hadn't quite got back to normal yet after the incident with the graphic novel, unfortunately, so he was a bit harder to find than he might otherwise have been.  The cold weather ( Read more... )

In the days since that horrid nightmare, Evey had developed something of a pattern.  Once or twice a week, she would arrive at Marcus' hut around the time he went to bed.  She didn't wish to wear out her welcome in any way, so she never spent more than three nights a week with him, despite the fact that she always slept better next to him, and not ( Read more... )

It had been ten days since Halloween and in those ten days, the bruises had faded.   The nightmares, however, had not faded with the bruises.   In fact, they'd gotten somewhat worse, to the point that she had actually begun drinking a soothing tea at night to help her sleep.  While it did control the dreams enough that she was able to get a few ( Read more... )

The rebirth ritual had been both fascinating and moving, but it had also been remarkably tiring.  Now, with it over, she wanted nothing so much as to sleep for hours.  There was an odd feeling to the air, and she thought she heard screaming, but that was just another reason to sleep.   When she woke up the island might have ceased its pranks.  ( Read more... )

What on earth had possessed her to agree to go swimming with Marcus?   As if she wasn't self-conscious enough about her appearance, now she was going to add a swimming costume to it?!?  Still, she'd agreed, mostly because she really did wish to spend more time with him, as always.   There was also the fact that he hadn't ( Read more... )

Evey wasn't sure how it had happened, but somehow she was more confused rather than less after her magic-assisted discussion with Marcus.  She knew now that he did have feelings of some type for her, but she also knew he didn't know whether those feelings were true or not.  He needed time to determine that before anything else could happen, and she ( Read more... )
