10 Am Cest Novels & Stories

Celeste awoke to the sharp vibration of her phone against the nightstand. Looking at the clock on her nightstand, the time read 5:47 a.m., but the sheer volume of notifications flashing across the screen told her something was wrong. She barely had time to process before another sound cut through the airm Damien was buzzing at her intercom. She threw on a silk robe as she made her way to the door. The moment she opened it, Damien strode in, with zerio expression.

"Where are you guys?" Carnation asked, frowning on the other end of the line. What time is it? Her friends still are not in the location they agreed. "I thought it was 4 o'clock? What time is it? I have to work at Casa de Lujuria at 6 o'clock!"

"Are you enjoying the city?" As if he thought I could answer any other way but positively. My eyes find a trail of people walking past our window and I sigh. "Yes, why? What is our first meeting this morning?" It's past 9 a.m. in Paris and usually by now Vincent already has a meeting on his docket. My phone switched over to French news and I couldn't read any of the headlines, but my calendar stayed in place. The day hasn't updated with anything. "This is our meeting. We need to talk."

“We will need powerful allies to go after the Monastery and however many demons Hizkiah has.” “I can’t argue with that logic.” I agreed as I got my phone out. It’s going to be a long fucking day. We left Bloodmoon at 7 am on the eleventh, which meant we arrived in Paris at 4 am on the twelfth. It’s almost noon now. We don’t have long before the sun sets and the Hunger Moon rises. I need to have Alec on a jet here within the hour for his presence to make a difference. “Ciao? Kinsley?” Alec was obviously confused that I was calling him.

I say and they all laugh. "God, I'm famished. I didn't have anything to eat on the plane" I say after our laughs die down. "I wonder if their kitchen works twenty-four hours? Can we still order food at this hour?" I ask, standing up to stretch my body. How I wish I could shift and go for a run. Eric laugh "What do you mean by, ‘at this hour’? It's 3 am in Los Angeles but 2 pm here in Marseille. Have you forgotten the time difference?"

Oswald was leaning so far forward in his chair, Cadence thought it might topple over. “Yeah. It was 7:00 AM,” Cassidy replied. Cadence shook her head. At first, she thought maybe they were on to something, but five hours made no sense to her. “Our time,” Cassidy reminded her. “So 6:00 AM Central time. Every six hours.” “Oh, yeah. We are in the Eastern time zone,” Cadence remembered. It hadn’t occurred to her. “Okay, so....” “So if he actually got that, we should hear back at 7:00 PM.” Cassidy drew in a deep breath, and Cadence realized this day was going to be even longer than she thought.

"Shit it's almost lunch. I need to go guys. I can't meet up with you today. Will tonight be ok?" "Hey. Why are you hurrying up? Who are you seeing for lunch?" Kylie continues to worry like a mother. "Don't tell me it's Bene--" "I really have to go. Bye!" I cut her off and instantly hang up. It's already 11:43 AM. I opened the message that Benedict sent to me two hours ago. BENEDICT: Hello Thea. Will Prague's at 12 noon be okay? I've made reservations.

The adjutant hurriedly said, “Commander, it would not be appropriate for you to call him so late at night, right? Won’t it affect Mr. Wade’s rest?” Hamed scolded, “I’ve asked you to read more when you have nothing else to do, but you simply chose not to listen to what I’ve said! Oskia and our country are not in the same time zone. It is 3.30 am here, but it is already 8.30 am on his side!”

Lacey asked seriously. They looked timid and worried. “Well, Lacey. We have good news and bad news,” Annette began. “We tell you the good news first,” Amelie said in French. “The good news is that we have the room until noon.” “Uh huh. What’s the bad news?” Lacey asked with hesitance. “The bad news is that we screwed up concerning the time change between New York and Las Vegas and we missed our chartered flight,” Annette revealed as she shrunk backwards.

He said and walked away. I immediately ran to Odette and Perse, I guess they are on their way to the room. “What’s the time right now?” I asked “It’s, 2:50pm” Odette said “He said my class starts by 4pm, please when it’s 3:45, just show me how the class is gonna be like, so I'd know whether to go or not...” I said to Perse. “I can’t use my powers on Kingston,” Perse said.
