XII. Sam They were both woken up before dawn the next day, and Brandon came to the unhappy realization that the girls were moving at a grueling pace and were expecting the boys to match it. By the time they dismounted and set up camp at the end of the second day, Brandon’s entire body ached with misery. He forced his aching limbs to help set up camp, ate, then fell asleep almost instantly. When he woke up the next morning, still sore and aching, he glared at Jordan who was moving

XI. Comfort Brandon sat in a straight-backed wooden chair in a corner of Leia’s small living room. He was watching Leia, stretched out on her stomach, playing with a toddler. The toddler had Leia’s trademark curls and grin, and was banging his rattle on the floor, pink faced and chubby, like a normal baby. Leia glanced up and smiled at him and he couldn’t help but just smile back. Leia looked so happy, like she had everything she had ever wanted, and Brandon knew that if she was happy, t

Reciprocity "Emily?" Emily Mancini turned. "Hey," she said slowly, studying the boy in front of her. He was the one who had taken her home several weeks ago so he could see his brother about something. "Samuel right?" "That's right." Samuel rubbed the toe of his sneaker against the worn linoleum of the school hallway. "Um...I was wondering if you were doing anything this Friday? Like after school?" "Why?" Emily asked. She hooked her thumbs into the straps of her backpa

Samuel is indeed pretty smart, but unfortunately that doesn't keep him from being a bit naive as well....

Apparently you like my sick and twisted side Don't worry, there is more to come.

Propositions "Is your name really Samuel Adams?" Anthony asked Saturday after Samuel had picked him up. "Yes," Samuel said. "Why?" Anthony shook his head, smiling. "Your parents must have a wicked sense of humor." Samuel didn't respond to that. He was trying to focus on his driving. His hand was slippery on the gearshift and he was scared that with his nerves he would disengage the clutch and they would stall out or something equally embarrassing. Anthony was not making thing

X. Storm Brandon returned a short time later, with Sumna in tow and a sizeable amount of food. Jordan found himself watching them with a new perspective as all four of them ate while cramped into their small quarters. Had Sumna known through the bond that Jassa was already here? Did she know that Jassa had shared their history with them? The girls left shortly after eating and left the two boys alone. Brandon sat down next to Jordan on the bed, quietly, his sketchbook on his la

Emily Mancini Samuel woke up in the dark, more than a little confused and disoriented. He lay there for a minute, then checked his clock. The bright digital numbers stared back at him. 4:20 Shit, Samuel thought, remembering the party he was supposed to be keeping an eye on. He tossed back his blankets and stood up, his body protesting loudly. His ass, especially, was sore. He groaned as he remembered the encounter from earlier. He was still in his kilt and felt disgus

Thank you! This will be one crazy ride, hope you enjoy it.

Very intriguing and sexy as hell. I'm looking forward to seeing what will develop!

Samuel loves Anthony. Emily loves Samuel. Who Anthony loves is anyone's guess. A classic love triangle with a twist.

Unrequited When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and I turn and then I go for a ride 'Til I get to the bottom and I see you again, yeah yeah yeah Do you, don't you want me to love you I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you -The Beatles Anthony sighed. Emily was going to make them late...again. "Come on E!" he shouted, getting up from the couch and standing at the foot of the stairs, tapping his foot impatiently. "Okay, okay.

IX. Dance Jordan and Brandon decided to join the Odwayon villagers in celebrating the summer solstice. Brandon was initially reluctant to intrude on their customs and traditions, but Sumna had told him that it was an honor for the Odwayons to have foreigners there to participate and that it made the spirit of the celebration stronger. The village essentially shut down at mid-day, when the majority of the villagers served up a large feast, after which everyone retired with their full

VIII. Love "We're going to move out in about a week," Jassa explained. She and Sumna were sitting in a twin set of chairs across from Jordan and Brandon who were seated on a tiny couch inside Sumna and Jassa's Odwayon home. Brandon and Jordan sat close together, their joined hands hidden in the folds of the cushions. Occasionally one of them would make a little gesture, a subtle squeeze or the comforting stroke of a thumb over knuckles. "That will give us enough time to gather all we n

Jack meets a lonely stranger and finds an interesting way to keep him warm.
-
~~~~~~ The young man stepped into the diner, shivering viciously and stomping the snow from his boots. He looked around and approached the long counter, forgoing the booths lining the walls, and slid onto a stool. Jack watched the newcomer from the corner of his eye. This diner was mostly a haven for truck drivers, salespeople and other transients, so seeing strangers was not a terribly uncommon experience. This guy, for some reason, caught his attention. He thought i

VII. Guilt Jordan stayed crouched on the ground for a long time, long enough for his legs to cramp and his feet to tingle, until Brandon fell asleep again. Then after that, he stayed a while longer, holding Brandon’s hand, watching his face. He wondered what memories plagued his mind, what nightmares played out underneath those eyes. He carefully released his hand and crossed the room. He glanced at the book on his cot, the one on Enabling and Creating that Sumna had given him. Like he

VI. Rajar Jordan woke Brandon up early the next morning, before it was fully light out, to travel to the main village for breakfast. When Brandon sleepily protested, Jordan reminded him that he hadn’t shown up for dinner the previous night and needed food. Brandon only offered a little resistance. All other things aside, the people in Odwayon knew how to cook. Afterwards, Brandon didn’t want to go back to their sleepy pod, so they sat one on of the less busy walkways and watched the s

V. Secrets Jordan woke up early the next day, slightly surprised to find Brandon’s side of the room empty. He stretched a little and tried to remember the lazy, cocky Brandon who whined about getting up before noon. It was a long stretch to connect that person to the angry, withdrawn creature Brandon was now. The door cracked open and Brandon slipped inside, sitting a bowl on the table in between the cots. Jordan pushed himself up on his elbows and peered into the bowl.

IV. Nexus When Jordan woke up, he felt a sleepy type of disorientation that sometimes plagued him after a long, deep sleep. He took stock of the room he was in: it was a tiny, circular affair, with enough room for two cots and a small table in between. He stood up and leaned over the other cot to look out the window. In the early morning sun, the towering trees and the structures built around them seemed less mysterious, more real and no less fantastic. He got up and made his bed,

III. North Jordan sat curled against the headboard--as far away from him as he could get, Brandon noticed--sipping water cautiously. He looked weak and tired and barely able to stay upright, but he wouldn’t let anyone near him. Jordan didn’t speak. He sat there, drank water when it was given to him, following Jassa’s careful instructions to sip. Sumna had gone downstairs to get him some food. His eyes tracked the room nervously, keeping watch on Jassa near the door and fr

Thanks for reviewing Not The Sun. The sequel The In Between is up now and the third book is going up in the near future as well. I hope you enjoy them as well!

II. Dreams for Plans Brandon woke up the next morning in desperate need of a bathroom. He couldn’t remember much of what had happened when he was wrapped in layers of pain and hallucinations, but he was pretty certain that personal hygiene hadn’t been a part of it. His head was still pounding, but the pain from earlier, the screaming, debilitating pain he had suffered through daily, was gone. Jordan was still lying beside him, and Brandon again tried to rouse him, to no avail. It
