I went to bed at 12:30 am. I stayed in bed til 8 am. I didn't leave my house this morning. I didn't buy a thing. I may pay a few extra bucks here and there on gifts but criminy, it's worth it not to deal with that shit. Plus my husband left at 6 on Thanksgiving night to go hunting so I'd have had to take my kids and I agree with W_L, that's child abuse!

No, I mixed it up. The wemic is Tek and the lion together, it should have said lion. That was my mistake. There are a lot of questions left unanswered but you will definitely have them all explained.

His lion does! Tek needs to take a lesson from him, don't you think? Thanks for commenting Jadelilac.

I think that might be part of it. Tek is pretty gruff, but I think he has quite the story himself. Thanks for reviewing.

I know, there are so many questions about the world and what everything means. Don't worry though, things will start coming together next week. Thanks so much for reading and commenting, Cannd, I always look forward to your insights.

Yep. I have a liger in one of my Carthera stories, but no actual 'lions'. I hope you enjoy continue to enjoy this story, thanks for the review!

LOL! I'm glad you're enjoying it Layla, sorry about the torture. Or maybe not. More will be coming soon!

Nuh uh! I'd never use one of those, lol.

Sorry Rebelghost, it's all part of the torture from the Wednesday Briefers group I'm part of, lol. Lots to come still, I think I'll end up writing this for a while until it's time to do a Christmas special. I'm glad you're enjoying it and don't worry, your questions will be answered eventually!

I'm so glad you like it Mann. Actually, copy the text only from my story and you'll find I'm toeing the line on the actual words almost exactly and never go over. Tek is a bit of a jerk, but he's not had it easy either. More will be coming next week!

“Go, you’re freaking him out.” The lion huffed, turning away. I gasped as he faded as he walked away until he disappeared. I flicked my eyes sideways, glancing up as far as I dared. The wemic stood next to my pallet, naked. He was dusted in golden hair but he had legs, human legs. I glanced back toward where the lion disappeared, my hand on my chest where the raspy tongue had scoured my skin. Questions flashed through my mind, one after another that I dared not ask. After a mom

Happy Birthday hun! I hope you have a great day.

Is that dinner invite still open? I'll bring cake! Happy Birthday!!!

Okay, they still do those minute time tests in school-my daughter brings home 2 a week. She also has one of those pop half-circle things and plays with it regularly. Mondo juice bottles are still sold at the dollar store, they both like to hide in those circle clothes racks all the time and my son has one of those car carpets-but his is from IKEA. LOL

It sucks being disowned by family, I had my grandfather do it to me when I was 16. Perspective can take years to come, but eventually it can. I'm not as angry now; he missed out on meeting his great grandkids and being in our life. His loss, not mine, since anyone with that kind of hate isn't someone I'd want them to be in contact with anyway.

Furry isn't my thing either, lol. Sorry, this will remain a once a week feature, as I actually write these Wednesday updates as part of a flash fiction group posting on my blog. Thanks for the review.

I'm glad you think so! There will be more reveals next week to explain everything, never fear.

Separate but the same! There's still more suprising twists to come, so I hope you continue to enjoy the story and the pacing over the next installments. No, there won't be any lion/man sex though, lol.

It is a bug. The post dating system is glitching and we can't fix it right now. If you post date a chapter it notifies anyone following the story that a chapter has posted, though it will not post until the date scheduled.

I'd huddled next to a refuse heap. The smell hadn't detracted from the first sunset I'd seen free from the hell of my uncle's compound. The pink and purple clouds had been broken by a single bird wheeling across the immensity. The stench was so strong in the cool fall air of tavern leavings and stale beer I’d been sure I'd go undiscovered. I'd been wrong. Strong hands grabbed me. "Did you really think you'd escape me?" I was yanked to my feet. I gasped when my heels stru

When do I ever do what everyone else does? LOL! Don't worry, you'll get an inkling about why the wemic is what he is in the next part. I really do hope you enjoy the story as it continues. Thanks for the review Eleven.

Do you think any of us haven't been there though? We have. We've all had the unattainable person we really wish we could be with at some point-and for whatever reason, it just wasn't to be. I wouldn't call you a kid either, I was married at your age and then struggling to deal with the aftermath of a car accident that crippled my right leg. You are a legally an adult, but you're still also a teenager. Biologically, you are a seething mass of hormones still and guess what drives attraction? You can't always divorce how you feel about someone as to why you feel that way about them, or that it could/would/probably will change, when you're in the heat of the emotions. I remember being 21 and having a crush on a guy I worked with cause omg was he hot and sweet and we really got along. (Yes, I was still married, no I did not do anything). We aren't trying to mock your own feelings, just acknowledge that really, it's something most people go through and get over.

It makes you a horny teenager.*snickers* The guys here do tend to help lighten the mood when things seem to be at that point of frustration. You should just ignore Yang though, he's a perv of the nth degree! Remember all those cases of the whole video camming/college cases that cropped up a little while back? You might not intend for anyone to find out but if they did? If he's a friend, you'd not want to do that to him. I was never a gay college guy, but I have to think you're going to have plenty of friends, plenty of crushes, and then good opportunities with the right guys. Don't let momentary hormones get in the way and screw up your life. Oh, and moms do tend to just know when their kiddos need something, the good ones anyway. Sounds like you have a good one.

LOL. I hope you haven't had TOO many drinks! Happy Birthday, hun.

Thank you!! There will definitely be more coming next week. I'm glad you like the story.
