It felt nice to spend time with Saorise like this, nestled at the wellsprings edge and chatting about what they had learned. Somehow listening to the redhead plant witch made the content in which he struggled to understand that much more attainable. She spoke with knowledge and an earnest thirst...

Hayden was used to boardrooms, the sort of atmosphere where primly dressed people nodded mutely along with the presentation of facts. It was sterile, grey walls with classic black and white photographs and expected responses, everything so unlike the setting Hayden now found himself. If any of...

What with Saorise being sent to learn along side some of the others Tristan felt painfully awkward. Perhaps he should have chosen the same path as his neighbour- perhaps then he wouldn't feel like a duck out of water. He was grateful when Fae pointed him towards Liz and he went quickly to the...

Her hand found his chest and Hayden halted against the press of her fingertips- the warmth of her hand seeping through his athletic wear became a sensation he wished he could direct his entire focus to. Instead of focusing on the way her hand stayed there, he followed her gaze and spotted their...

The flag pole flew through the air, arcing up and then down right into Essa's palm. Hayden breathed a sigh of relief as his teammate took out the woman with a swift swipe to the legs, sending the woman crashing to the ground. Blood matted the dirt, staining earth and stone red as Hayden's kill...

There was nothing quite like the magic that flowed around them, it sizzled and sparked against his skin as Tristan took Saorise's hand and she led them into the shallows of the pool. He felt the sand and ground under the soles of his feet and felt rooted to the very earth itself as the water's...

It was a strange dance that seemed to be making Essa and Hayden circle one another- in one moment they lashed out, like the complicated aggressive dance that was the tango and in the next it was like they'd switched to something smoother- where their steps matched in time. It just simply wasn't...

In the time that passed between the quake and the meeting of the Coven, Tristan had been able to pull some time back on The Contessa. It felt good to be on the waves again, his soul had missed it. Home was the helm, and that was where Joseph found him along with a young man Tristan had only seen...

Had it been anyone else leading them to an unknown destination when everything was on the line, Hayden wouldn't have allowed it. He didn't trust any of his teammates, and knew there would be later opportunities for all of them to turn on one another. But when Essa led the charge he didn't stop...

A muscle popped in Hayden's jaw as Essa approached, he didn't miss the way her eyes dipped to take in his outfit, and he took the opportunity to do the same. That bit of exposed skin near her midriff was liable to drive him to distraction and he resisted the urge to peel his shirt over his head...

Saorise didn't seem at all surprised at his declaration and leaning and that somehow made Tristan feel all the better. He'd worried she'd scoff at him and call it uninspired but it pleased him to no end when she readily agreed. He plopped down, eager for more of her delicious breakfast and only...

There was so much- too much to learn. Tristan felt a bit like a fish out of water as Saorise and her rabbit with it's entirely too intelligent eyes carted load after load of things into his house. Saorise was patient with him, petting the rabbit in her lap as she told him where to hang things...

Tristan had to agree with Saorise as mulled over his suggestions, he didn't want to put others in danger either but he felt a bit like and animal backed into a corner. What else was there to do? He hated the idea of Saorise alone at night knowing the 'detectives' could come knocking at any...

Saorise bustled through his kitchen like a storm, the little witch in her barely decent robe and nightgown had Tristan's ears turning a light shade of pink. Out of politeness he averted his eyes, though there was another part of him that wished to take in the full splendor of the sight as she...

If there was one thing that Hayden hated in the world, it was loosing. In the three days that had passed since their first official competition Hayden had grown more and more surely by the day, his mind warred against him, and he mulled over and over again what he could have done differently to...
