Sama       After I escaped into my house earlier, Vik didn’t follow me. I suppose I can understand why. Really, how many women can say they’ve had a baby yet never been kissed? I didn’t used to let it get to me, trying to be content with having Zane, but I was kidding myself.Continue reading “Chapter 17: The Land of Weird”

Vik       I can’t win. I did nothing wrong. Well, mostly. I suppose I might’ve done SOMETHING wrong. I’m lost as to what, though, and with the lack of anyone else to talk to about it, I turn to Zuri for advice.       She, of course, is thrilled I came toContinue reading “Chapter 16: Love Language”

Rohan       The temperature has cooled somewhat since we brought the boxes up from our mainland expedition. Both Orion and Asa have turned in, but Vik and I are still up. I turn to him to bid him goodnight.        It was a long day. “Good day today, right? I’ll see youContinue reading “Chapter 15: Mother”

Vik        I want to scream! How could I have been such a bonehead? I had this carefully planned out. Then, when Sama almost walked away after officially seeing the new forge, I panicked. I hadn’t planned on asking about the trip to the mainland until later. However, I DID manage to collect myselfContinue reading “Chapter 14: Things”

Orion      Since I’m not good for much else ‘cept manual labor, I frequently offer my babysitting services to an exhausted Sama. The wee little tyke isn’t much trouble at all, and I find myself getting attached to the little fella.      I suppose I just want to feel needed. And tiny Zane is certainlyContinue reading “Chapter 13: Incorrect Assumptions”

Vik       I can’t believe our luck. We may have actually found a good home.      When we first arrived in the calm channel between an island and an abandoned town, Orion and I heavily debated which way we should go. It was only when I looked around with Reck’s eyes did I decideContinue reading “Chapter 12: Half a House”

Meanwhile, back on the mainland many, many, many, many miles away…      The council is no more. Finally, I can act on my own in the best interest of the tribe. Little did I know those lowlife Trags would be the key to my succession, those weakling religious nutcases.      All I needed was aContinue reading “Chapter 11: Zuri”

     Sama leads Vik, Zuri, and Amina up the hill. Whatever happened to VOTING whether or not someone could stay?      When I angrily question her about it later, she informs me she wasn’t going to put it to a vote, that no way was she turning away a small child.      Damn her for makingContinue reading “Chapter 10: Fault Lines”
