Josie Medina Novels & Stories

She had her airpods as she talked, laughing away with whoever was on the other end, she took a seat by the table and crossed one leg over the other, checking her nails. "Yeah, she just left to take that Joshua home, yes the broke Joshua" Quinn says with an eye roll and a disgusted expression. "Wow" Chef mouthed as we watch her, it was wrong but who wouldn't be interested in hearing Quinn talk less of someone when she wasn't a cup of tea herself.

Leah walked into the café, ordered her usual, and sat in her favorite spot. After ten minutes of just sitting there not even touching her strawberries, she noticed that she wasn’t getting comfort from her favorite snack. That’s when she realized that she was depressed. Leah loved her clan, and she would do anything to protect them. But at what cost? Her freedom? Her happiness? This wasn’t fair. She would rather be getting to know Ray than worrying about how she was going to get herself out of mating with Theo Blackwell.

Was any of this really happening? “So wait a minute, Mr. Ski Instructor Gorgeous Triathlete Thor Lookalike chats with you for a couple minutes this morning and already tonight, you,” Josie looked her up and down as if surveying her from hair down to toes, “who are about as athletic as a slug, are going on a hike to the top of one of the biggest hills outside of the city where you will eaten to death by mosquitoes, you will become sweaty and ridiculously tired and then...” “You’re so flattering,” Laura muttered.

When she noticed Deirdre, surprise flickered in her eyes. "Deirdre! Deirdre, you're here!" Josie exclaimed with excitement. "You know Brendan, he's so resourceful. He'll surely find the best doctor, right? Joseph's legs... We can still save Joseph's legs, can't we? He won't be disabled, right?"

I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Owen’s eyes met mine, filled with a sudden realization. "Josie," he said, his voice filled with dread. "She got hurt while trying to escape from prison. Her left leg was severely injured. She’s been lame ever since." "But she was arrested again. Her sentence was extended, wasn’t it?" I asked, trying to make sense of it. Owen’s face changed as if he just remembered something. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed a number. He stepped away for a moment. The tension in the evening air was suffocating as I waited for him to finish the call.

Josie chuckles as she sits down beside me; her sky blue eyes sparkle as she whispers in her soft musical voice, “I bet you didn't expect to see me again, sweet girl.” I turn to her and ask, “Are Lea and I dying, Josie?” Josie embraces me as she says, “Goddess, no, sweet girl, the moon goddess sent me to talk to you.” I clasp my hands tightly in my lap and breathe a sigh of relief before asking, “Why?” Josie leans closer as she says, “You will get a visitor within the week; keep your temper in check and hear him out; Alpha Soren means you and yours no harm.’

I don’t mind all the eyes on me, but I’d rather be beating the shit out of someone than just standing here for them to look at. It seems that Josefina will be the conduit for Selene today, just like she was when I realized how much of a dumbass I was for fucking shit up with Fati. Meredith will be helping her out. JoJo winks at me before she closes her eyes completely. In the blink of an eye, her hair turns completely white and starts to move in an invisible breeze. When they open, her eyes are black orbs with the flecks of stars in them. Selene.

Hector responds his eyes rolling into the back of his head as he seems to be struggling more with Kaia’s admission more than she is. “You’re cursed too?” The execution in her words tugs at my heart, the sadness in Josie’s voice isn’t hard to miss and I was so determined to get her home that I didn’t stop and ask how she was coping. Whether it caused her pain, whether it took energy from her to complete. Suddenly the very thought of that has me even more on edge. Josie was a natural healer, which completely makes sense now. How she has a natural flare for remedies using plants and herbs, how she has the patience like a saint.

But her hands were shaking and she eventually had to drop it back down onto the table, right beside the other report that needed her immediate review. 5. Tuesday 27th April 2010 08:54 Isabelle even managed to snap her cell phone shut with a god like arrogance before looking at the other Brethren Members that she had congregated around her, all of whom were waiting to see what she would do next. “One of our contacts has just informed me that Alice Cuthbert is in the custody of Nemesis.” The Brethren Member, who had been leader up until the creature that occupied Isabelle had been raised, stepped forward. “This can only be a good thing. It keeps Oswald occupied while we plan our next move.”
