Being with Micheal was so different. Even though this was our first time having sex he knew exactly what I wanted the enitre time. He touched me just right and although I found the edging irritating at first, I was glad he did it. I haven't felt an orgasm that intense in years. Tomorrow we would be heading out on a very dangerous mission. I wished that Lucas and Lana could join us, but I know it would probably hurt more than help. We'd be distractions to one another. A ball of nerves started to build in my stomach as I thought of everything that could go wrong. This was a dangerous mission and none of us knew what exactly was inside that camp. It's obvious that they're hiding something but I haven't a clue what it could be. I just hope that we're able to come out of it unscathed. The device Libby made gave me some peace of mind. I just know that I can't rely solely on it. I need a back up plan in case things go wrong. "Stop worrying." Micheal said, placing his index finger on my f
"Astrid, we need to go!” Jason yelled after me.“I know, okay! Trust me I know!” I yelled after him trying to shove my most treasured possessions in the smallest bag possible. How am I supposed to fit my life into this small ass bag?“Let’s go!” I hear Jason yell again. Dammit. I shove the only picture of my family I have along with money, passports, and IDs in the bag. I give one last look at the place I called home for the last few years and yell “Got it. Let’s go”We leave out the back and head down the alleyway. How did this happen? We were so careful! I didn’t understand.As if reading my mind Jason asks “How did this even happen?”“I don’t know Jason. It doesn’t make sense. We’ll find some answers later. We need to make sure the others are okay.” I turn right passing the flowers now stained with blood. A body lies on the pavement, eyes open and lifeless looking up at me. I don’t recognize the face. It isn’t one of ours. Human.“They’re using lethal force now.” Jason echoes behi
8 hours before“Jason, are you ready to go? I need to get you to work on time” I asked. Jason was starting his first day of work at a local newspaper. He was able to graduate with his journalism degree and get a job rather quickly. We were all really proud. “Almost ready.” He responded as he placed the last strand of his honey brown hair in place. He always likes to keep it tamed and gelled up and back. It suited him well. He had on a button down long sleeve shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbow. He had on a pair of dark jeans with a black belt and some loafers to complete his look. “Okay I am good to go now.” He turned to face me, prying his dark green eyes away from himself in the mirror. “Good, don't want you to be late on your first day.” I smiled at him “You look great” Jason blushed a bit. He was always so bashful and sweet. He had such a pure and innocent heart. We walked out of the house, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror on the way out realizing I should have put m
I paced my office floor waiting for the call from Lieutenant Jacobs. I needed this boy found and brought here immediately. With him we could find what we were looking for. We could finally find her and get what we needed. Just when I thought it my phone rang flashing Lieutenant Jacobs name on my screen I quickly swiped to answer. “Did you get the boy?” I asked impatiently“Not yet, sir. We are heading there now. Got the address from the case worker.” I heard the ding of an elevator as he said this. “Don’t take long, and you know what to do if anyone gives you any problems” I reminded. We needed this boy. “Yes sir.” He saidA few years ago we discovered a special who according to our findings has lived for well over 500 years. We have had specials with healing abilities before, but we’ve found out with testing that they can still die. This special that we found doesn’t seem to be able to die. We need to test it, test her, find that gene and replicate it. The problem was we couldn’t
AstridLandon was still on my mind as I headed to pick up Jason. I left work early today to make sure to be there to get Jason from work and hear all about his first day. I kept shaking this feeling of dread off. I figured it would have subsided by now after the Lieutenant left but it was still there, still ominously telling me something worse was going to happen. I pulled up to Jason’s building. Seeing him smile and wave at me helped ease some tension. “Astrid, it was wonderful!” He exclaimed, entering the car and buckling up. “Everyone was so nice and I have a mentor and she’s so smart and nice” He said, smiling so big. “ I am so happy you had a wonderful first day” I smiled back at him trying to drown my worry. “I wonder how Ruby will feel about this mentor of yours,” I teased. Ruby was Jason’s girlfriend. He met her when he had first moved in with us. It was cute seeing them together. Ruby was human though so they had to be careful. Specials and human relationships were definite
JasonI felt myself get pulled away as if a hand reached from across the galaxy and grabbed me by the back of the shirt. It’s all so fast that before my mind can process what’s happening I popped up in front of Shawn. His face says it all. He’s a strong muscular man, the kind you would avoid at a bar. His face was always serious and his dark black eyes were always in cased with dark circles from the lack of sleep. His bright blond hair was a mess and I swear there were streaks of red in them today. He was wearing a black skin tight shirt that accentuated his muscles showing most of his colorful tattoo on his arm.“How’d you get here?” As if answering his own question he immediately asks “Where is Astrid?”I quickly fill him in on what’s happening and what Astrid told me we needed to do. Shawn nods.“You’ll find Libby and Whisper around the corner, they should be done getting dressed now.” He tells me. They had just gone for a swim at the beach and I was thankfully catching them after i
Jason“Okay, I have given you guys enough time to feel sorry for yourselves. It’s time so take a breath and bury it back down. We need to be focused.” Although her words are cold her tone is compassionate. Astrid understands better than any of us what this feels like. She’s been through it so many times throughout the hundreds of years she has lived, she showed me it this afternoon. I forgot just how old she is, she doesn’t look or act it. “Shawn turn here. Park it at the airport. Use the valet.” She continues as we approach the exit to the airport. “Won’t there be guards at the airport?” I ask fear rising up in me again. I don’t want to be caught and made to endure torture for hours just ot see what my body can handle. I don’t want to spend years of my life locked in a cell.“Yes, which is why we are gonna act like nothing's wrong. Like we are just fine to be at the airport. We are gonna get down and go inside, but we are not getting on a plane.” She states.“Then why are we going t
Earlier that same dayI knew something was wrong. I could feel it. She didn’t have to tell me, I felt it with her all day, that impending sense of doom, that shit was going to hit the fan kind of feeling. I looked at Micheal, who had his earphones on, while listening to some rock music. His shaggy black hair was in his face covering his eyes as always. He was drumming along with his music, munching on his lip piercing. He was wearing a band teacher and ripped skinny jeans with checkered vans. His style had certainly changed over the years. You would think that living half a millenia would make us mature and boring, but we had to constantly keep up with the young adults. We were always around people in their 20s so that we could blend in better. “Something is wrong” I told him as I pulled an earphone out of his ear. He turned to look at me half mad, half confused. “What’s your problem man?” He huffed. “Something is wrong with Astrid.” I stated, further explaining. “And? So what? She
