Her name was Emory, and she was taking a year off. She was meeting up with a group of her friends in Anaheim. She was talkative, but I wasn’t really in the mood to talk. It hurt that Kari couldn’t say those words back to me, and I wondered if we would ever be okay again, but something told me we wouldn’t be.We got off the plane, walked to the baggage claim together, and waited for our luggage. She was the complete opposite of Kari. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tattoo behind her ear, Hebrew letters that I hadn’t asked the meaning of, talkative, flirtatious, and hot. Kari was beautiful and more conservative, soft spoken, and comforting.“Where are you headed?” She asked me, as she pointed out her suitcase, which I took it off the conveyor belt for her.“Anaheim,” I said, and she smiled.“Same. You should give me your number,” she said with a smile, and I rattled off the number to her. She saved it on her phone, and we walked out of the airport together. Two girls started screa

They left two days later, and I lay down on the couch, utterly exhausted, and switched the television on. It was an odd setup they had, and I still had no idea if anything had happened with Amanda, Emory, and myself. A while later, I dozed off on the couch and was awoken by my ringing phone.“Hello.”“We’re all going to this really great Mexican place. Are you game?” Kevin asked me.“Why not?” I replied, and Kevin yelled that I would be joining them.“This time we’ll pack a bag,” Kevin said, and hung up. Pack a bag? Were they planning on moving in? An hour later, they barged through the front door, and I was kissed hello by the three girls. Jace sat down next to me and put his hand on my thigh.“Changed sides yet?” he asked me.“Sorry, Jace, I’m still straight,” I said, and stood up.“So is spaghetti until it gets wet,” he said, and watched me as I burst out laughing.“Shit, Jace, and I was just about to take my shirt off but your pants might catch fire if I do,” I said, and Jace pret

The noise of the crowd was deafening, and it reverberated around the old warehouse. I shook my head and drowned out the crowd. Everything around me disappeared, everything except Falcon. I kept my focus on him as we circled each other. He came in fast, landing two shots to either side of my ribs. His punches were hard and accurate, and I could feel the two cracked ribs on my left side.He came at me again, lightning fast, and I ducked under his arm. He grabbed my arm, and somehow hooked my other arm into his, and we stood back-to-back. He bent forward, and I went over him backwards.His arms were on the inside now, and I took that opportunity to land a few punches to his ribs, and another one to his face, as he brought his arms down to protect his sides. He wasn’t an average fighter, he was the best I’d fought against so far.We traded punches for a few minutes, we were both breathing hard, and bleeding from swollen lips, busted noses, and he cracked more of my ribs. He had skills tha

I loosened my grip on everyone, and poor Jace was literally squashed beneath me. I got to my feet and looked around. Bullets tore into the furniture around us, dishes cracked, and wood splinters were flying everywhere.I was shocked and surprised that my spell had worked, and had taken all three of them with me into the other realm. Levi was crouched protectively over Malachi with his head bowed down. Jace looked up at me as he shifted into a sitting position.I could smell the gunpowder, blood, and food. The permeating smell of alcohol filled the air as the bottle of Scotch exploded and Jace flinched. “Levi,” I said, and he lifted his head.He helped Malachi to his feet, and they surveyed the damage around us. Jace finally got to his feet, as well, and sat down at the table. He looked about ready to faint, or throw up, maybe both. “Where are we?” Malachi asked. The bullets seemed to move in slow motion around us, and everything was in chaos, except where we were.“In another realm,

We reached the front door, and Marco smiled when he saw me. He walked down the steps and surveyed the group with me. “Kai.”“Hey, Marco,” I said, as he crossed his arms over his chest.“Fighters? Really?” he asked with a raised brow.“We’re not fighting tonight,” I said, and sincerely hoped we didn’t have to. I’ve had enough fighting for one day.“Not unless we have to,” Falcon said, and grinned.“Shit, don’t make me regret this,” Marco said, and motioned for us to follow him.We walked into the club and the music engulfed us as we made our way to the bar. We ordered drinks and found a booth to sit down. I surveyed the crowd, not sure what I was looking for, but I felt kind of uneasy. I put it down to the little girl in my bathroom and tried to shake it off.Falcon kept giving me odd looks, and I tried to loosen up. We did a few shots and settled on beer. The guys danced and chatted up women at the bar, while Falcon and I remained seated at the table. To everyone else, he would seem l
