Erin crossed her arms in irritation and tapped her foot. The fox cowered back and she reached forward to comfort it but the fox scrambled away.

“I wasn’t planning on hurting you! We have to get down somehow.” Erin called.

She turned back to watch the fey flit towards the pond. He was an odd little thing. Jackson would be fascinated by him. But J…[Read more]

Erin could tell that by the way Brin acted that she was terrified by heights and would never do what Erin wanted of her own free will.

“I did find a way down,” Erin said cooly, taunting the fox by easily pacing on the very edge of the roof without any outward expression of worry. “Are you glad about that?”

The fox nodded timidly…[Read more]

Erin tapped her foot and crossed her arms. “Does anyone have any rope?”

Rope would certainly help in repelling down but there was little to tie a rope to anyway. Maybe the biggest person could hold the rope while everyone else climbed down.

But how would that person get down? And how does one get a freaking fox down?

Erin rolled her eyes. She…[Read more]

Erin peered over the edge of the roof. Heights meant nothing to her. She had lived on the top story of a skyscraper when she was a little girl. In the Academy she had learnt much on rooftops; how to jump buildings, fight high up, surveillance, balance, how to leap into moving shuttles, and more.

She wondered how to get down. She didn’t have any…[Read more]

Erin jerked her hand back as if it had been stabbed. She’d met very few animals who could speak and it was always a shock when they did.

“I…I thought you might like it.” Reasoned Erin. She felt like she was starting to have fun again.

She was completely used to having Sander’s wolf-likeness around, but he stood upright like a human and acted l…[Read more]

Erin opened her eyes to a furry muzzle.

“Sander, is that you?” She mumbled.

The creature cocked its head and Erin looked closer at it.

“A fox? Nice try, castle! I’m not afraid of foxes!” She sat up and examined it. It looked intelligent, and fuzzy.

Erin smiled tenderly at it and reach out to rub its ears.

@jasmine

That was so long.  😅

“I don’t have…any way to help you get home and I…just wanna find my friends again…” Ehud confided.

Erin wasn’t sure how to respond but then he started fumbling in his pocket and withdrew a compass,

“Thousands and thousands of years ago people used to use these thingamabobs to figure out where they were going–this’d probably be worth a lot if i…[Read more]

Waiting for @this-is-not-an-alien to reply…

@this-is-not-an-alien

Heck, girl! I feel that all the time. 😆 When you have no idea what might come next!

Erin kept her gaze down as Ehud approached. She could tell he was worried. She didn’t want that.

“I’m not a heartless killing machine, Ehud!” She burst. Why did she say that? That sounded weird… “I’m just a human who’s lost so much th…[Read more]

@mischievous-thwapling

Thanks! I found it on Pinterest 😛.

I was somewhere else? Hmm, now I’m not sure. Maybe Erin was sitting around sulking somewhere nearby. I can change it if you’d rather that?

Erin wanted to go home so much she almost couldn’t bare it. She didn’t like any of the people here. Expect Ehud. He was alright. And…you know…kind of cute.

Erin mentally slapped herself. She couldn’t afford to lose track of herself because of the blond, blue-grey eyed boy…

But Ehud was the best of the lot. After he had found her cryin…[Read more]

@mischievous-thwapling, we’ll save you!

Erin was faintly aware of something watching her. She always knew when someone was watching her. It was her sixth sense. It was probably a wild animal here to eat her.

Accept she didn’t sense animals watching her. If she did, she’d know every time Sander padded up on his silent paws. Not that Sander was an animal. That seemed a cruel way to thin…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Yeah…she’s rather emotionally unstable for the first half of my book.

Erin wanted to cry. She was in a bizarre location, with bizarre people, and she wanted to go home. No matter how annoying Jackson was.

Not that she never cried. She cried alright.

In the middle of the night. When her door was locked and everyone was asleep.

The glowing book sucking her into yet another bizarre location was fraying her last n…[Read more]

@bigideaskc

Hans is well. Still the same Hans. XD

@mischievous-thwapling

Lol, thanks. 🙂 I’ve been singing to myself for so long, I must be getting naturally better.

@mischievous-thwapling

Hehe, I’m not really sure I can sing for real. 😜 I just hit a note and surprised myself. I’m pretty smooth, but a little raspy.
