The Birthright Series Chapter 1
Book One: The ArrivalSMACK!I hit the padded rubber mat hard enough for the air to rush from my lungs. With a grunt of effort I twisted my hips, grappling with Nathan as he worked on getting me into a shoulder lock. The loose fit of my githe belted kimono jacket and wide leg pants everyone in class woreallowed him an easy hold on my arm but he made the mistake of overextending his leg. With a hard kick and swipe I flipped him, using his bent elbow to my advantage. I didn't expect him to just go with the roll and inwardly cursed when we tumbled right over, back to the starting position. Breathing hard, sweat dripping from his brow to the mat around my head, he grinned down at me.'Awww, is little Kitty Cat stuck?'Ass-wipe.The patronizing tone and stupid oaf-like smirk he wore irritated the hell out of me. Jerking my right knee up and leaving the other slack I snatched his collar and wrenched, slamming him into the mat. Nathan gave a yelp of surprise which I ignored while I leane

AFTER SENSEI'S DEBRIEF, CLASS WAS dismissed and the four of us walked to my jeep in the parking lot. Sian, Kass and I still wore our gi, not bothering to shower at the club when the shower in the house we rented together was so much nicer. Loi, however, lived in student accommodation, so she made the most of the free hot water at the gym and we were the last to leave the building before sensei. It always amazed me how she could fit her mass of locks into one of those hair turbans. Beeping the car alarm, I hopped in while Kassie released the front seat and climbed into the back, followed by Sian. Being just five-foot-tall meant both girls usually ended up in the back seat.'I don't look twenty-eight?'The indignant question from Kassie made the three of us pause, exchanging confused glances.'Who said you did?' Sian asked with an eyebrow arched.Kassie scowled, her lower lip jutting out. 'Andrew. He keeps calling me old lady.'I bit back a giggle. 'Kass, he's a twenty-one-year-old

'I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT. I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT.'My detestable alarm blared and I scrambled to shut it up. Silencing it, I flopped back into bed, tempted to roll over and go back to sleep. A large furry lump wedged behind me, however, foiled that plan.'Audrey,' I growled.The bed quivered while Audi half wagged her tail and whined in contrition, she knew full well that the bed was out of bounds.'Get off!'She tumbled off the bed then did a silly frantic run around the room. I sat up and glared at her. Huntaways; they're adorable dogs, very smart and loyal, and the cutest puppies you'll ever see, but neurotic. Casting another glare her way I climbed out of bed and found my running gear, making my way to the kitchen a few minutes later with Audi urging me on. Kassie was bent over the dishwasher when I entered, her head a mass of dark curls.'Morning, early bird,' I drawled, grabbing a banana from the fruit bowl.Her head snapped up at my entrance, hazel eyes just visible

'THAT NEW DOCTOR IS SO cute.' Sian sighed and glanced at Kassie and Cat. 'Why aren't there any guys like that around here?''The guys around here are scrawny enough to make you look fat,' replied Cat, eyes glued to her sketch pad.Kassie snorted and winked at Sian. 'She's right. What happened to all the built guys? I don't want a guy who looks better than I do in skinny jeans.'Sian nodded in agreement and leaned back on the couch. There's been a real lack of decent male specimens lately, she thought while idly watching the TV commercials; wonder how we can find them?KASSIE LEANED OVER AND SNATCHED one of Cat's sketches. Loi's jacket will look gorgeous, she thought, impressed.'Siany, are you and Cat really going to make this?' Kassie glanced up.Sian gave no response, eyes focused on the TV while a loud toilet cleaner commercial played.'Sian?' Still nothing. 'Sianus Rachel Price!'Sian's head snapped up. 'What?'I GIGGLED AT SIAN'S STUNNED expression. 'Where were you, S

SIAN DREW IN A BREATH and let it out slow and even while she released the string. The arrow hit the target with a thud. Peering down the range she could see it'd struck bull's-eye.'Bull's-eye! Nice one,' Cat congratulated her.'Thanks.' I'm so glad I bought that new bow, Sian thought with a smile. The results make the price worth it.Cat stood up to the line and drew her bow. Sian watched her friend with pursed lips, waiting for the inevitable. Stubborn is Cat's middle name, she thought again. Cat had bought the bow at a craft fair four months ago, determined to prove that the medieval styled bow was just as good as Sian's modern fiberglass bow. While Cat's bow did look authentic Sian suspected it didn't measure up properly. It took Cat a decent effort to draw and the accuracy-'Damn!' Cat glared down the range.SIAN LAUGHED AT ME. 'I don't know why you bother with that bow, Cat, it's practically an antique.'I glanced at her and in a snooty tone replied, 'Because I like feeli

ARRIVING AT THE ADDRESS WE found a car park and hurried inside. Poor Kassie shivered when we started up the stairs but by the second floor she'd warmed up.'It's not often you're the scantily clad one,' I teased. Her costume looked great, the red dress fit her like a glove. I'd only had to make minor adjustments. I reached out and tugged a curl. 'The red rinse looks fantastic, Kass.'She flushed. 'Thanks.'I wish my hair would hold like that, I thought enviously. My red mane tended to do its own thing no matter how much work went into it. Kassie had naturally curly hair and with Sian's help she'd coaxed it into large curls, very Jessica Rabbit like.I glanced at Loi's hair. Whew, the ringlets still held, I thought the rain might have ruined them. My own hair began to ping back into unruly waves. Darn it.We arrived at the door and smiled at the host when Loi introduced us.'Brad, this is Sian, Kassandra and Catherine.'A tall, lanky guy with dark auburn hair grinned at us. 'Welc

SIAN SMILED AT THEM. 'ACTUALLY, if you can grab all the candles in holders and bring them into the lounge, that'd be a good start.'The girls disappeared off down the corridor and Sian turned her attention to moving the couches and chairs back, out of the way.I FLICKED THE LIGHT ON in my room and stared around it.Yikes, I gulped.I have A LOT of candles in holders; it's the one present people always fall back on for me. My gaze dropped to the edge of the box hidden under my bed, crammed full of even more candles and holders that I could no longer, sensibly, fit in my room. I'll just grab the ones that are out, surely that'll be enough for Sian, I thought while collecting them.Staggering to the lounge, I stumbled and ended up dumping them on the ground making Audi leap out of the way. 'Whoops, sorry Audi.'The dog grumbled then stomped to the couch and climbed on it, glaring at us while we set up the room.Sian glanced over and laughed. 'She really hates it when we move stuf

UGH. MY BACK ACHED WHEN I woke and I grunted in pain. Why the heck didn't I just go to my bed? Man this floor feels lumpy. I shifted position. Five more minutes then I'll get up, I thought before dozing off again.Sometime later I went to roll over but jammed up against a large warm shape. Patting blindly down my side I felt Audi lying next to me. Cracking open an eye I peered down at her.'Audi,' I mumbled. 'You're blocking me again.'She gazed up at me and her tail thumped in the dirt, dislodging a couple of yellowed leaves that fluttered into the air.Dirt? Leaves? My scrambled brain registered that I too lay in the dirt.'Whhatt?' I croaked. Hearing something move, I pushed up onto my elbows. The world spun before my eyes. 'Ooooh dizzy.' I slumped back down and held my head with both hands. 'Helloooo?' I called. 'Sian? Kassie? Loi?' The shuffling sound started again.KASSIE HEARD A VOICE CALL her name and woke up. Why do I feel so tired, she thought in bewilderment; her who
