Eternal Curse: Battleground 7.1 (wip)

Mira and I carefully and quietly snuck out of our private quarters and then out the hotel’s side entrance, as we headed to the poorest and most dangerous part of the city, so we could find the shanties. There we gave an old man a gold coin and a piece of plant based writing material, with a strange symbol on it that we’d been instructed to draw out. The symbol appeared to be the shape of the letter ‘U’ overlapped by three rings. Two parallel horizontal rings intersected at a one-third perpendicular across a longer vertical ring, caused all three together to resemble the appearance of a cross. We were told to give the coin to the first elderly man we saw and to show him the image so that, then, we would be lead to the secret caves.

It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 6.0 (wip)

Teddy’s driving into town to meet a friend for lunch at a dinner, but he can’t seem to stay off his phone. He thinks he’s more ready for Rebecca’s wedding than anyone else because the whole ordeal is driving him crazy. As much as he hates to use his Bluetooth, he’s found that it’s been his only saving grace getting him through his days, trying to get things done for himself, while constantly listening to orders and directions from his mother and sister.

Teddy: Becca do we have to talk about this now? I mean, I’m going to see you tonight, right?

Rebecca: Yes Teddy, but I know you won’t remember. If we don’t talk about it now, you’ll be useless later when it comes time to discuss it with everyone else around.

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 7.0 (wip)

It had been two days since the mention of Giovanni’s transformation. The silenced subject was eating away at Mira’s curiosity. She’d just finished Abraham’s complete examination and had discovered that he, too, had lived much longer than expected. It seemed as though prolonged exposure and dwelling in close proximity to Giovanni, along with the constant healing exchanges between the two, had caused Abraham to live close to fifty years longer than he probably would have, especially since he had terminal cancer. Abraham had the old and ailing body of an eighty-year-old man, but he had actually lived one hundred and one years.
