Chapter Fourteen Runt’s rear leg was cramping from being frozen in place for so long but she refused to move. If the past day had taught her anything it was that stalking was the most important part of hunting. If you messed up your stalking you never even got the chance to strike. So, she … Continue reading 14a (Argentum’s Song – PG)

32. Development
This was fun! They looked at each other in a way only two embryos that have been together for nine plus years could do. They were remembering their beginning days and also when they were thawed and wooshed into their home by a similar consistency of liquid surrounding them. For the last few days, their … Continue reading 32. Development

Chapter Thirteen Argent felt a rush of wind, heard a loud crack, and the crashing of something falling behind him. His experience with other injuries had caused him to expect death to hurt more than this. He lowered his arms and dared to open his eyes. Simon stood before him, hands grasped around the claymore … Continue reading 13a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
31. The Test
I did it! I took a home pregnancy test. After I glanced at it, as I was pulling it away from my body, I flipped it over not quite ready to face what would likely be the last pregnancy test I took in my life. I spent a couple minutes praying in the midst of … Continue reading 31. The Test

Chapter Twelve Franklin woke both shivering and soaked through with sweat. Not a good sign. He wrestled with his fever to gain more control over his senses and moved his head slowly and carefully to see what else had changed while he'd been asleep. Nothing seemed to have found his hiding place. The ground looked … Continue reading 12a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
How is that Boy Still Alive? #4
Finally, I was talking to a manger. He came over, looked at my boarding pass and then handed it back pointing at the date. Sunday, December 12th. Desperately hoping I was wrong, I flipped my wrist to see my watch. Monday, December 13th. I had missed my plane. --- December 12th minutes after "Russell … Continue reading How is that Boy Still Alive? #4

Chapter Eleven A paw cuffed her across the face, its jagged claws lancing streaks of pain and fire along four parallel paths and causing her to wake with a start. Snarling, she tumbled over and launched herself at her assailant, fangs bared. Who dared treat her like this? Her opponent’s face showed surprise, but no … Continue reading 11a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
30. Loved
The little ones had now counted 10 times that the warm, embracing, accepting being they were in had stopped moving for a long time. Not that the movement bothered them at all, it was just interesting how the part of the being they were in would become more relaxed and their movements would have predictable … Continue reading 30.

Argent carefully picked his way up the mountainside using all four limbs. Internally he was just as carefully picking his way through the information he had gathered to try to find a conclusion that made sense. He clearly hadn't burst into flames in the Warren. That implied Ferus hadn't rejected him. Maybe he had completed … Continue reading 10 b (Argentum’s Song – PG)
29. Stats vs Hopes
Three more days until the blood test and today I woke up feeling anxious and a bit fearful about what would happen. I mean I felt the implantation cramps on the exact right days and saw the right coloured blood, but why do I still struggle with the anxiety? Even though there are signs that … Continue reading 29.
