June 8th, 2011 Morning The sky whips around us. The trees have sprouted leaves again. The countryside is a bright green. The sky a brilliant blue. The air has warmed, though not by much. It’s strange, the sensation of beaming sun on my bare legs. Fills me with sleep but invigorates me all the same. I hug my cardigan tighter. “Where are we going?” I’m almost afraid to ask. The not knowing is most exciting.

Alex was sleeping like the doctor had said, he had a bandage round his forehead and few bruises over his face, which had now been plastered. She walked over standing before him, then sat down in the armchair beside the bed. "He's sleeping, I will wait." ***** Alex slammed the cup on the desk and turned to Martin. "Martins, have you ever heard of the Fundamental promotion rights?" "Fundamental promotion rights?" Martins repeated the question, an eyebrow raised. "I'm about to do something crazy," Alex said looking into space. Martins gave a small laugh shaking his head and took a sip of his coffee. "When have you ever not?"

A gilded cage, if you ask me. It’s been six years since the Patefaction, and things have calmed down some. Humans and "supes" live side-by-side, sort of, in a fragile harmony. But things also changed fundamentally. A new leadership, called the Councillium, now delegates everything. It's made up of a representative from each of the four main factions – witches, vampires, werewolves, and even a human. Places like the Institute were created not only to care for parentless children like me but also to teach us what we needed to know for our seventeenth year. When we turn seventeen, we’d be shipped off to one of the Academies, elite institutions where we would learn to control our powers. So far,

I shrug. “Okay, I like her.” she points to me and looks at Rhea. “I’m Veronica by the way. Veronica Ryan. Grade B.” “Grade?” I raise a brow, confused. “A Grade basically tells how dangerous a person is. And before you ask, the difference between A’s and B’s is that A’s have committed murder.” “But mine is asterisked?” “It’s never been given before but I’m guessing it means numerous counts of murder.” Yeah. That makes sense.

Then, softly: “But I feel better knowing that you’ll be right there beside me the whole way.” Jesse kissed my fingers. “I’m here,” he promised me. “The whole way. We might not be married, but you can go ahead and count it as ‘through thick and thin’ and all of that.” We were quiet for a minute. “So you know,” Jesse said softly, his fingers trailing across my skin as he arranged himself on his elbow to look over at me, “if you wanted, we could add an extension onto the house for another baby room when the time comes.”

I grabbed a stone to give myself a boost and peeked through the window while standing on the stone. Were there several people tied up in the hall? Their bodies were bare and exposed. What set them apart was that beneath their waists, thick, unnatural growths sprouted. They were bulbous and grotesque. Lina was sitting on top of the biggest one.

The thought of her in a short skirt and no panties flare in the back of my mind and my cock begins to grow in my sweatpants. Fuck! I take my focus back to the TV. I wonder if Rae is at home? Growling, I set the bowl of chips on the side table and down the rest of my beer. I need a cold shower. Again. Undressing, my hard cock springs free, it's sensitive and near fucking purple. I swear to God blue-balls is a real thing.
