Alex stared across at Teddy in silence for a long while, eyes on hers, staring in a way that would make most people uncomfortable. He wasn’t entirely certain where to start, which was a new sensation for him. Words and how to use them was one of his many talents, or so he liked to think, and he...

Ellery was glad everyone was on the same page regarding May’s suggestion. And now that that was settled, it was time to return to business. She settled on the ground beside Sasha, drawing her legs in and crossing them. She turned her eyes on Vlad, and then May. “The logic tracks. We have never...

Ellery watched as Teddy turned to leave. She wanted to go after her, but everyone was relying on her for answers. Alex looked just as uncomfortable, caught between a desire to comfort his friend and an obligation to support Ellery in her explanation. She caught his eyes, and nodded in the...

It was not surprising that everyone had questions. But they were right--she should have told them sooner. To be honest, she had hoped to not have to say anything at all. But, Alex was getting worse. He was not recovering as fast as he should. It had been hours since their confrontation with the...

While Ellery felt she would be useful assisting with the rescue, she knew leaving her witch was not an option. It went beyond simple loyalty and concern for his wellbeing, to something far deeper. To be honest, she was not sure she was capable of leaving her witch in peril. She had never done it...

Teacup? More like teapot, the way the baby dragon’s top was about to blow. Fortunately for all, Alex kept this thought to himself, distracted when Ellery and her new friends rejoined the group. His eyes met Ellery’s for a moment, before nodding and turning his attention to Sasha. “Alright, big...

Alex watched as Agni worked out an answer that was not an answer. He could appreciate the reluctance to share, and it only made the challenge of extracting information more enticing. The witch was never one to shy away from such a challenge. A little game of wit was just what he was after. Until...

Mother Earth had had enough of Love’s petulance. Bright emerald eyes snapped on Love, and her tone was icy and menacing. “Take that tone again and you will be the one in need of another Keeper to save you.” Damn, bitch better listen. “Please, Mother Earth, Time, Love,” Chaos turned longing...

Well, that was rude. Harmonia did not appreciate Love’s attack on Time. Who is she to say what Time does and does not feel. Children these days—no respect for their elders. Chaos’s eyes flickered over to where Time lay against Death, and considered correcting Love herself, but decided Time was...

If Mother Earth knew anything about Fate, it was that she loved to be tempted and teased. The humans had a nasty habit of giving her just what she wanted, and they often paid the price for it. Mother Earth herself was no stranger to taking a waltz with Fate upon occasion, but she never did so...

Maria & Alex Maria rolled her eyes when she caught the face Guy made as he threw the tequila back. “One day,” she wagged a finger at him as she dropped down from the window. “One day, I’ll find one you can appreciate. If you’re good though, I might throw in a whiskey later.” She turned from...

Laurie was taking back control of the meeting, bringing everyone back to the reason they were all gathered in his home. Alyssa has taken off outside, and it looked like one of their new guests was about to follow after her. She would need time and space, and he had no interest in lecturing her...

Mother Earth had sunk into the grass, and now sat cross-legged, palms against the Earth as the delicate blades laced between her fingers. Her eyes were closed as she remained one with the Earth, lending her own power and strength as it weathered Time’s interference. Mother Earth did not answer...

Maria was a little surprised when Curt grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. She blinked, but then her expression softened and her smile returned. “Oh, no bother,” Maria replied when Curt released her hand and went to reading over her signature. She turned her eyes on Lena. “It’s rare you...

Mother Earth trusted Time, but that did not mean she was not going to monitor the group’s progress. She took a step back, so as to allow the group room and give herself a better vantage point to watch from. She slipped off her heels and allowed her feet to sink into the cool grass, the remnants...

Maria tossed her rag into the sanitizer bucket from across the bar, the cloth making a sucking slap as it hit the water and joined the rest of the rags bathing in the solution. She was about to turn her attention to doing a few last-minute checks around the restaurant to ensure all the...

“I understand you two have your differences, but this is not the way to sort them out. Especially not in front of our new guests.” Raul’s eyes remained fixed on Alyssa, so that he did not see Maika push past Laurie. His disappointment was evident, but there was no anger upon his face or in his...

MARIA The commotion bubbling up within the restaurant as the employees filtered in was lost on Maria Esperanza Guadalupe-Valdez’s ears, her pale green eyes fixed solely on the phone screen poised between her perfectly manicured hands. Both thumbs flew across the screen in a perfect choreography...

This argument was going nowhere good. The two women were at it per usual—not surprising, just disappointing. Just this once, he had hoped they would be able to set their differences aside, at least until they had completed the introductions. It was foolish of him to have ever thought such a feat...

Chaos looked up at her name, eyes finding Time. Upon looking up, out of the corner of her eye, she caught Mother Earth’s suspicious stare. She flinched, eyes flickering over to the red-headed Keeper for a brief half-second before resettling on the ground, shoulders drawing in as she shrunk in...
