Taken It is too warm. Even though the blankets have been kicked off I feel hot and sticky and prickly. On the other hand I feel sleepy, warm and comfortable. My head is clear and doesn’t hurt any more and I am so happy I could burst. No reason to move yet. Well maybe just a little. I stretch and turn over and am surprised to find that the bed is empty. Surely there was... there was... Memory floods me and I sit up, panic replacing the pain that had previously assailed me at

The Next Step All I can remember is the eyes. They fill my vision, my mind. They are speaking to me, whispering of sleep and surrender and it is easy to do both... but not for long. I can’t help it. I have to fight. I have no choice. It is as though my mind has succumbed and is asleep but my soul, my spirit blazes through me without any conscious will and gently disentangles the hold that sleep has claimed over me. By the time I open my eyes I am whole again, body, soul and spiri

Angels and Demons He has no idea what he’s doing, what he’s agreed to, and I can’t say a word. Gabriel has manoeuvred me into a corner and if I try to reach out to him, to tell him what he’s done I will frighten him so badly he will never agree and I know, despite everything, I know that Gabriel is right and this has to be done. I just wish that Gabriel had given me time to prepare him. I am so proud of him. He is young, yes, I can’t deny that but he is so strong, and so brave. I ca

The Past Catches Up How many times over the past few days have I opened my eyes and forgotten for a moment the fear that has been my constant companion? How many times have I enjoyed this brief instant of happiness before reality comes crashing in and I am back in hell? But... hang on... where am I? I am not sitting at the side of the bed, I am not in a chair but lying down, there is something soft under my cheek, something that rises and falls. “Kai?” He sighs and stirs,

A Blast From the Past She looks concerned, I wonder why. May hasn’t looked like that since.... May? What is she doing in my bedroom? Hang on a minute, this isn’t my bedroom. I sit up and immediately regret it as pain explodes in my head. After falling back onto the pillows I raise my hand to find my head is wrapped in a stiff white bandage. “May? What’s going on?” “Not much. I was just wondering.” “Wondering?” “Yeah, wondering when you got to be so

In the Full Light of the Sun The pain in my chest is intense but fading. This surprises me quite a lot. I know that the knife missed my heart…. I’m not sure how I know it but I do. I know it with absolute certainty, just as I know that I have not lost enough blood to send my body into shock or to cause me any real harm. I had thought that I was in real trouble from the fact that when I took a breath my chest burned and bubbled and when I coughed my mouth filled with blood, but that s

Come The Dawn “Hello Kai.” There are six of them. I should have been more alert. I should have kept the link with May strong just in case. I should have taken him straight home. I should have been more careful. I should have known. “Rayel.” “Aw come on Kai, don’t be like that. You sound so… severe. Don’t tell me you are still annoyed with me after our last…. confrontation.” “Just turn and walk away Rayel. Last time I almost killed you, this time I won’t

Harsh Realities He is not a very pleasant looking human, middle aged but trying to look younger, a paunch oozing over the top of his trousers. He looks stunned, as though he can’t believe his luck in being towed into an alley by someone like May. His eyes are small and they leer at her, he is practically dribbling, his hands already straying to her ample breasts. How can she allow him to paw her like that, even knowing…. knowing…? I hear Kai’s mental voice thrash out like a whip.

Waking up It is three days since my rebirth and we have not yet left the flat. It is like a womb, dark, enveloping, safe. We have drunk a lot of whiskey, talked, made love…. oh that is so sweet. After a lifetime of being alone to feel so close to another being, to be able to express it in such a way…. so sweet. I am still having trouble coming to terms with the fact that I could be loved by someone as amazing as Kai. He is perfect in every way. So many times I have looked into thos

New Life I open my eyes, and for a long moment I am not at all sure that they are open at all. The candles have gone out and it is dark, a darkness so deep that it is all but impenetrable, although no darkness is so impenetrable that I cannot see. I am shivering, my body heavy, my mind sluggish. My arm is throbbing in time with the pounding in my head and I can’t think. Why do I feel like this? And then it all floods back. I sit up feeling dizzy for a moment. I will have to

Angels and Demons have never made happy bedfellows. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the two came together, more than that if they became one? When Kai turned the love of his life into a Vampire he had no way of knowing that Marc was not what he appeared to be and that in changing him he had also changed himself... into what they both have to discover and come to terms with. One thing is for certain when Angel and Demon combine the result is shocking.

Death is just the beginning Tonight I am going to die. I should be scared but I’m not, nothing but anticipation and excitement touches my turbulent heart, that and…. something else, something deeper, something so pure it cuts through everything else and makes it all worth it… Love? Maybe. I am sitting on the bridge, my feet dangling inches above the water, and looking out over the lake to the fringes of the forest beyond and then, beyond again to the mountains. The sun it setting

I have sat here for the best part of two days. To be exact it has been 49 hours, 36 minutes and 10 seconds since Connor was shot – well thereabouts, I didn’t look at the clock at the time, but decided on a time after the event. And it has been 45 hours, 10 minutes and 15 seconds precisely that I have been sitting here, by his bed, watching him sleep. Well, no... if I am being that precise... for exactly 7 hours 4 minutes and 3 seconds of that I was sitting watching an empty bed, when they too

Isaac. When Connor ran I panicked. The last thing I wanted was to drive him away. Why did he have to push me? Why did he have to make me choose? Why wouldn’t he understand that I couldn’t choose? I felt like my heart was being torn in two and it was unbearable. For a time I just sat there and couldn’t move. There had been so much going on, so many shocks, so much emotion... so many times I thought I had grown numb only to have it all come rushing back. I felt

Connor Every time Isaac has a fit it scares the bejeezus out o’me and afterwards he is so... so confused and so vulnerable I just want ter... I want ter... When I promised that woman I would take care of him I meant it more than I have ever meant anything in me life. Sure I can see exactly what she means. He is special, like no one else I have ever met. I’m stunned by him, so I am, blown away. It’s not that I don’t mean to care for him... I mean how could I help i

Isaac “I can’t do this.” “It’s alright me love. Calm down now or yer goin’ ter get yerself in a right state, so ye are. We’re almost there. Sure and it will be fine. I’m here aren’t I?” “I know... I know... it’s just... it’s... it’s hard Connor. The last time I was here... I was hauled off by the police.” “That must have been hard.” “It was but...

Isaac When Connor spoke those words... when it hit me what they meant... I felt my heart break... I’m sure I did. I had to get out of there. I was going to go to my room but when I started to feel sick I diverted to the bathroom and it all came pouring out. I felt like an idiot. I was such a fool not to have realised it. Connor had never made me any promises. He had never said he was going to stay with me. Why had I never thought about it? Why had I never...?

Connor I don’t know why I talked ter Isaac loike I did. It was as if he drew the words out o’ me wid magic or some kind of compulsion that I couldn’t resist. I have never spoken to anyone like I did to him. No one. It hurt, so it did. I hurt so bad I thought that I would not be able to contain all the pain inside of me. Before when I feel de pain I get rid of it by hurting someone, or meself. Foitin’ fucking, getting into bother... but... dis time... dis time it was different. D

Isaac Jon was not best pleased when I told him that Connor was coming back with us, and even less so when I told him we were going to go up to my room. At one point he was going to say something but Sean dragged him off into the kitchen and nothing was actually said. And so here I am, sitting on my bed... on the bed that I am slowly coming to think of as mine, and staring at my hands while Connor prowls the room like a caged panther. The room seems so much smaller

Isaac Every morning since the party I have woken in my room feeling warm and comfortable and happy. And every morning, after those first few moments, reality has smashed into me and feelings of embarrassment, pain and loss swept away every shred of comfort, of warmth, of happiness. On the first day Jon tried to talk to me but I couldn’t, I just couldn’t. The pain was too raw, too... painful. I was sure I had lost him, that I had hurt him too much to ever even be ab

Connor Isaac sure wasn’t what I had been expecting. Not that I’d had the first idea what to expect. I hadn’t wanted to come and, that was putting it mildly. I didn’t want to leave Ireland and I certainly didn’t want to be nursemaid to some invalid kid fresh out of hospital with his life falling down around his ears. Hell, I had enough of that wid me own. And then I met him and he was... well he was... unexpected. No invalid for sure, not at all. He looked strong

Isaac The party is a nightmare. I feel uncomfortable in these clothes. They are new and stiff and... not me. I am really grateful to Jon for buying them for me but... Hell... it’s not the clothes... it’s me. There are so many people here and I can’t... Connor and Declan are here somewhere. There are so many people it’s hard to find anyone. Jon tries to stay close by but they keep dragging him away and then I am alone. I am alone now. I try to press myself into the corner bu

Isaac Waking up again. But this time is... different. This time is warm and comfortable and... sweet. The heady scent of lilac drifts in through the window, wafted on a warm breeze along with the distant sounds of cattle lowing in the field behind the...behind the...the... My eyes snap open and there is no way I can stop the stupid grin spreading over my face. The room is unremarkable in the way of spare rooms the world over. But this one... this one is so much more.

Isaac For the first time in ages I wake suddenly and the first thing I realise is that I am alone. The second thing I realise is that the photograph is no longer in my hand and I panic. I sit up and a wave of pain and dizziness washes over me, making me fall back onto the pillows. Fuck!! I HATE feeling like this. I hate the weakness most of all, the pain I can handle. Panicking even more I stare wildly around the room and there it is, propped up against the water

Gwendoline. Jaden has been excited all day. He has wanted so much to come and see Isaac. That boy has really made an impression on the little chap. Sometimes his father is a little too stern with him, and a little too protective. It hit him hard when Jaden fell ill and he has been even more protective since then, even though he has come through it far better than anyone had expected; anyone except me. I had always known he would be fine. Jaden is a strong boy, far stronger tha
