It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning when Zora looked at the clock again. She had started the day early, a little after seven-thirty so that she could get through the backlog of new clients. However, despite her good intention, she was still swamped with work. Each contract and its...

Evening had approached. As it grew closer to time to meet up with Zora, Stefan was already out the door. He still didn't know his way around well and wanted to give himself time to find the place since he didn't know exactly where he was going. His outfit wasn't exactly outstanding as he didn't...

What a day. Just arrived and already got an apartment. Stefan was a little astounded at how fast everything was going. He had tossed his bag down, locked the door, and started wandering around the city. He wasn't really going anywhere particular, but wanted to get to know his way around a little...

Monotonous and uneventful was not quite the way to describe how Zoraida's day had been going. So far it had been a day full of monotonous paperwork, meetings, and phone calls with clients and suppliers. It was far from what one would probably ever call mentally stimulating, even though it kept...

It was a little before nine-thirty when Zoraida had finally finished reading, signing and initializing the last document. She then looked at the clock when it chimed softly in the corner and realized, in surprise, what time it actually was... More than five hours had gone by and she had only...

"Zoraida Eva Marie... What exactly did you mean by that?" Rafael demanded when his granddaughter replied to his comment about Shiro turning into a vampire with a "Not her too" while a very worried and secretive look crossed her features. Flinching inwardly, Zora just stared at her grandfather...

Nikola stretched his arms above his head, kicked a leg up on top of the other, and let out a big yawn as his eyes closed and his sight of the sky above grew dimmer and dimmer. The grass felt good beneath him as he lay. He could be here for days on end...if his classes and his job permitted...

Slipping quietly into her beachside house, Zora felt a chill run up her spine at how eerily quiet it was, and at how clinical it smelled. She had not been back home since that fateful evening. Though she now guessed that Felen or her grandfather must have hired someone to clean up afterward -...

Stopping to see Celeste first as promised, Zora hugged her aunt tightly when she saw her, trying not to get too emotional. Zoraida was nowhere close to normal. She was tired, drawn and sometimes moved, inexplicably, between feelings - often overwhelmingly - of sadness, anger, despair, and...

Frederick hadn't been many places. He didn't have free reign, and he couldn't say he was at liberty. But he had some amount of freedom, and he opted to get to Morning Glory a few minutes early. He bought himself coffee, considered the food options, and then decided it was proabbly better to...

Standing a few feet from the edge of the precipice overlooking the water, Zora let the ocean breeze blow all around her. She let it catch her hair and whip it wildly around her as she stared calmly out over the ocean, dry-eyed for once, and for the moment, as an odd sense of tranquility and...

Looking back, Angelo would have put the past few days as some of the absolute worst week of his life. He had almost died once before, but he'd been unconscious for that. He'd been dead to the world. Now he just wished he'd been dead to the world. He'd slept for much of the past few days...

Staring numbly out the hotel window, Zora could feel the tears welling up again in her eyes as she wiped them away with the back of her hand. Ever since she got out of the hospital, memories of Broen, both good and bad, came unbidden to her at odd times of the day and set her off in a heap of...

Frederick did not get visitors. Of all the parts of being on the islets, that was by far his least favorite. In Halcyon, it would have been unthinkable, but here? He was a pariah. He recognized that, and he hated every second. News of what had happened with Godfrey had spread to those who'd...

It had been what? Two, maybe three days since she put up the ad looking for private lessons on how to fight and defend one's self properly. Something that, quite truthfully, she had been looking to do ever since Kakeru had accosted her. And now that Broen had left, and she didn't know when he'd...

Dropping the letter on her desk slightly stunned, Zora sat back in her office chair not quite sure she actually believed what it said. She knew Broen had not quite been himself lately and was even slightly more withdrawn than normally. But she had not expected him to up and leave like he had...

Zoraida had had a very long and exhausting conversation with Broen - or at least long on her part - as he had asked her to describe in detail everything that had been said and gone on between Aisuke and herself when the man had approached her at Volkov. A conversation that had led to her...

For once, Zora had made it out of the office at a decent hour. In fact, the whole day had been unusually quiet. She suspected it was probably a side effect of all the snow they had been getting. Instead of taking the car, she had opted to teleport. It was easier and she didn't have to worry...

"All this snow is just so crazy, and it doesn't seem to be stopping either..." Zora murmured to herself, walking slowly up the road to the school, clearing a path with the others in her group so that throughway to the academy was kept clear for staff and students or the police or any other...

Pacing the therapist's office for a bit, Zora finally stopped to look out the window at people in the street below. She was oddly nervous, anxious and calm, all at the same time. She knew that she should have come earlier, like almost as soon as the attack had happened - in fact, the doctor who...
