A/N: This chapter occurs simultaneously with the previous chapter (the morning part). It’s what Asa gets up to while Reck gets ready to throw Orion out at the beach.Very little of anything is insignificant. 🙂 Asa     Macie likes to talk. I mean, she REALLY likes to talk. She won’t shut up! She actsContinue reading “Chapter 40: Get Nun”

Orion      I failed. I failed the mission; I failed Rohan. I failed Yadira. Perhaps Corin should not have let me come. I did just as Asa said: I put everyone in danger with my foolish actions. Reck wants to know who else came. I’ll never tell.      And I’m such a miserable bastardContinue reading “Chapter 39: Hissin’”

A/N: You’ll notice I use the names Reck/Derek interchangeably. I hope this doesn’t cause too much confusion as he is one person. Sometimes, Yadira will say Derek in a kind of power move whereas I use it as a way to express his more human/nicer side.Reck’s a complicated dude, certainly more so than when heContinue reading “Chapter 38: Care Package”

A/N: continuity issue. I’d totally forgotten to put a fireplace in His Majesty the Dunghead Reck’s room. Whoops. That, and I really didn’t like the candelabra next to the desk. AND the thought of re-shooting that makes me wanna hurl. Just pretend… 🙂 Asa      I can’t stop thinking about her. Maren. She’s castContinue reading “Chapter 37: A Long Way”

Corrine      I blink.     Peter stands in front of me, smiling. “Damn, I do good work,” he says, looking at me a little too much.      I look at my hands. They’re a little smaller, and the scars are gone. Pulling a bit of my sleeve up, I see my arms areContinue reading “Chapter 36: Different Sides”

A/N: 180 line bouncing (1st half anyway). Sorry. I just wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to shoot from, and I like some from both. Yadira      “I’m takin’ ya home,” Orion tells me.     My heart sinks. He’s worked so hard for this, and I’m going to ruin it. “No.”     He pullsContinue reading “Chapter 35: Return Policy”

Orion      “She’s been taken to the castle,” Sama said. That means two things: One: Reck has SEEN her. Two: She’s either in one of the basement cells or one of the “guest suites.” I remember Reck talking about being sure to equip those rooms with locks that only a key could open. I chalked itContinue reading “Chapter 34: Unrequited”
