LOGINFractured memories of the night I nearly drank myself to death careen to the forefront of my mind. There was a woman. I don’t remember her face or her name. I was so far gone with drink and self-loathing that I gave in to whatever kind of attention and stimulations she had to offer. It was consensua
ColeThe letter came in the dead of night, rain-soaked and smeared, but I’d know her handwriting anywhere, in any condition. She’d written that she needed to see me, urgently, that it couldn’t wait, and she couldn’t explain why, not in a letter, not at the risk of what she needed to tell me going pu
EmeldaIt’s a quiet night. A long, silent walk from the castle. I needed this quiet, this stillness in the late summer air. Ravenfell comes into view beyond the trees, twinkling in the darkness. I smile, shaking my head as I look down at my shoes. I can still feel the weight of the twins in my arms

“While the king regrets that his children came to harm, he doesn’t see the purpose of continuing to lose lives when he believes gentlemen such as the two of you can work this out on your own terms.”Something about what he is saying has an air of misinformation about it, and I have to wonder if perh
No one spoke, but I could see in their eyes that they understood the importance of what I was saying. “Tonight, we will move through the trees unimpeded, inflict mortal wounds on our enemies, and disappear into the darkness before they know what hit them!” Through telepathy, many of the warriors s
*Kane* Vampires don’t get fatigued. At least, we don’t usually get fatigued. Not from simple tasks like the one I am doing now, but as I lean over the desk and stare at the map in front of me, my eyes start to blur out of focus, and everything begins to fade slightly. I’ve been looking at this fuc
“We should get out of here before what’s left of the water gets cold, and you become uncomfortable,” he offers.I think he’s right, so I climb off of him.
