With each passing day, Lizzie was getting stronger. But she was far from being over her torture. I call it torture for there is no other way to describe what happened to her. One day in early summer, I came into the parlor to find her sitting in the window. “Dear lady, how are youContinue reading “The Snake and The Rabbit”

Once there was Darkness
Kessa was sitting in the bed reading when Max entered their chamber all but carrying Kol. Max made sure he was sitting on the bed; Kol curled up in a ball. When she touched Kol’s arm, he flinched. “Max?” She questioned. He just shook his head. “Thank you, Max.” Max bowed his head and left.Continue reading “Once there was Darkness”
The Snake and The Rabbit
“The bankers missing wife?” He gasped. “The same. Hopkins, you can tell no one that she is here. Whatever persons that did this to her may still be looking for her.” ‘Whatever persons?!’ I screamed in my head; as I shot Holmes a startled look. Hopkins went over to the small window that was inContinue reading “The Snake and The Rabbit”
Once there was Darkness
Kessa spoke softly, “I beg to differ.” Kol fluttered a smile, kissing the top of her hand. “Your mother died on this day. I was beyond terrified of the thoughts of raising you on my own. God put Rajaf and Abraham in my life to teach me how to be (I pray) a good father.”Continue reading “Once there was Darkness”
The Snake and The Rabbit
Back to the cold room and material; Vernet had already drawn the bed with the material on it. I took a deep breath, “here we go. 15th, December, Nineteen Hundred and Two; large mass of gray, soiled material.” “Visual inspection,” Vernet encouraged me. “Of course. Starting at bottom of bed, soiled material appears to beContinue reading “The Snake and The Rabbit”
Once there was Darkness
Frego, Violet, Kessa, and Kol were having dinner to celebrate Frego’s 22nd birthday. To and Jolla had gone all out decorating the garden. Jolla was becoming an amazing cook. Violet and Frego had gotten very close since their return. So close that Max was training another new Bejhar. “Dad,” Frego’s voice filled the night air.Continue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Bestie and the Ghost
When my best friend passed away, it ripped my heart out. We knew it was coming. Even so, nothing prepares you for that life changing pain. My bestie was closer to me than my family. So much so that many of her family members adopted me as their own. She left different people gifts inContinue reading “Bestie and the Ghost”
The Snake and The Rabbit
The December wind tore with force down Bakers Street. As the years progressed on me, my old wound pains me even more. Not to mention the normal ware on the human body with age. As the snow piled up on the sides of the buildings out our windows, it struck me as to the calmnessContinue reading “The Snake and The Rabbit”
Getting it right, I hope
I have been learning about finance. My financial education growing up wasn’t much. You work. You get paid. You buy things. My dad was a retired coal miner. I learned the ‘coal miners mentality’ concerning money. Coal mining is a dangerous job. Especially if you’re working underground. Dad’s unspoken philosophy was ‘if you got it,Continue reading “Getting it right, I hope”
Once there was Darkness
Max and Kol were walking the wall. “How’s Kessa adjusting?” Kol finally asked. “I observe she’s disappointed, that’s the best word I can think of. Other than that, she’s doing well.” Kol let out a long sigh. “I know this wasn’t what she wanted.” “You know the queen; she will thrive. No one was ignoringContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
