Chapter 25, Part 2 Mariah lay in the dark, staring up at the glass ceiling faintly illuminated by the fluorescent glow coming from the observation room above the outer door. Lights out had been almost two hours ago, but she hadn’t really gone to bed at 9 P.M. for a long time. Her books had … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 25.2
Chapter 25, Part 1 Cassie nervously re-adjusted her earpiece. It felt too big and the check-ins from the rest of the team that echoed in her ear only added to her nervousness.

That signal had been … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 23.1
Chapter 22, Part 1 They arrived back at the facility far quicker than Mariah expected. Which, for the amount of driving and running they had done, was not fair at all.

Chapter 21, Part 1 Mariah stumbled after Kyle as he wove through the forested hillside. Sweat trickled down her back and her shirt clung greedily to the stream.
