This time of year, we often stop and mourn those that can't be with us. We dwell on how Christmas won't be the same.

Jason “What are you doing?” I heard a growl come from the main door. I looked up to see Ryan at the door. “Nothing that concerns you,” I growled back, letting the words come deep from within my chest. “If it concerns Windy, then it concerns me.” Ryan stepped closer. He looked at Windy and... Read More

“What do you want for breakfast?” Jason asked. I laughed, “I thought you didn’t cook breakfast.” He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close. “Shhh, don’t let the secret get out,” he whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine. “I’m making breakfast just for you.” I arched an eyebrow. “This will be...

“I know it sounds hard to believe,” I said into the phone receiver. “Yes, I understand why you don’t want to hand over the stone.” Sota Akita from the Asian Society was giving me reason after reason as to why she wouldn’t hand over the stone she possessed. With each argument she presented, the more I... Read More

We were sitting at the table going over the plan one more time before we left. “Jason will be with you, Windy,” Dan said, pointing to the both of us. “Ryan, Doug, and Steve will be with me. While you are showing the council what you can do, we will go into her office and... Read More

It was barely nightfall and I was exhausted. Sitting on the back porch, I could hear the waves crashing, one after the other. The wind raced across my bare arms and face leaving chill bumps that did little to faze me. Earlier I tried to use wind to manipulate earth, but it proved to be... Read More
