Chapter 7, Part 2 Mariah’s stomach was having a heated debate with itself. She tapped her stomach as if that would somehow magically cure her hunger. She pressed her face against the glass again to look at the clock down the hall. 7:44 pm. One more minute until the guard showed up. She meandered over … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 7.2
Chapter 6, Part 2 Cassie was tired of travelling. The car smelled like the hamburgers they had picked up thirty miles back and Dr. Braxton insisted on listening to classical music. Luke apparently was feeling the same. He twisted around in the front seat to face her. “Hey, if we complain loud enough he might … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 6.2
Chapter 6, Part 1 The dull roar of the road filled the car. Cassie leaned her forehead against the window and stared out at the flashing scenery. They’d packed up what little they had, climbed in the two cars that Doctor Braxton provided and headed out. They’d already been in the car for hours and … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 6.1
Chapter 5, Part 2 Mariah barely heard the radio call at 10 klicks. Her mind had been helpfully void of ideas for escaping and the clicking of the Taser in the front seat was doing an outstanding job of keeping her terrified. She barely saw the tree-covered hills surrounding the narrow road. Her ears clogged … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 5.2
Chapter 5, Part 1 Mariah woke up in the back seat of an SUV. Her hands were cuffed in front of her and a buckle was digging into her back. At first she thought she had been arrested but the memories of the fire filtered quickly back. She sat up with a jolt and almost … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 5.1

Chapter 4, Part 3 "Are you sure we're not making a mistake?" Sam asked Cassie. The others had gone to bed, leaving the living room for the four guests. Caleb sprawled on the other couch and Abigail was curled up next to Cassie on the foldout. Both of the young ones were sound asleep. Sam … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 4.3
Chapter 4, Part 2 They crowded into Braxton’s SUV and Sam, still mistrustful, took the motorcycle. Abigail sat on Cassie’s lap, huddled in her arms. Images of Mariah’s limp form replayed over and over in Cassie’s numb mind. If she had been there, she could have helped. If she had called immediately, maybe they would … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 4.2
Chapter 4, Part 1 Cassie smelled the smoke and saw a dull red glow before she reached the apartments. She coaxed more speed from the motorcycle and skidded into the parking lot entrance with an ear-splitting squeal. Dr. Braxton and the others weren’t far behind. Cassie sat momentarily transfixed in horror at the scene before … Continue reading Children of Two Worlds – 4.1
