holy water prank

Cornered and pinned. That’s what Xavier would describe how he felt sometimes. But in this case, he was literally cornered and pinned. He was held against a wall in an alley, along a drecently busy street. Xavier didn’t know how no one could see what was happening, or if maybe they had just...

Chloe forced herself to walk to the DSU meeting, and she left her human shape charm in her purse. She felt exposed, wary the entire time, even with Ozerchabal following her around. But still, she was seen out in the open. She wasn't hiding. She didn't look afraid, even if she felt it. It would...

Xavier jogged along a path in the park, a little bit ahead of him a golden retriever also ran along. Must have been only a few days since Xavier got back from almost dying, and then discharged from the hospital, before he set out. This had been his first time volunteering at a dog shelter that...
