"Ok," she chimed with mock enthusiasm, pulling down on the front of her tanktop with both hands and making a throaty noise with her tongue sticking out. Of course she was joking, and only showed enough of her fairly ample cleavage to satisfy her need to flirt a little with him. She always ...

The batter halted his retreat, perhaps because he'd been spotted by someone who'd gotten a good look at him, but then again she wouldn't have given a rats ass anyway. Dissappointed as she was that she wasn't getting a rise out of him, Jessa got a bit of a kick out of his response, and curled one cor...

Jessa Vanallen had been perched on a nearby bench just outside the baseball diamond, waiting for a friend she had plans with to get out of detention so they could go do something fun. She held a cigarette in between her index and middle fingers, and cast the occasional glance around to be sure that ...

((Continued from Stopping for the Night)) Andrew had been successful in escaping the new dangerzone in time, but he continued to just keep running his scrawny ass off anyway. Maybe something inside him thought that if he ran long or fast enough he could escape the game and the island and everyone on...

Huy was flat on his stomach. He hadn't moved since he'd woken up, to an unpleasant, deafening noise. Confused and frightened, he'd stayed perfectly still, while the shouting and struggling and yet another crack of something indescernable filled the air around him. Once or twice he was sure they were...

Adwin was barely through the door again when she sputtered that she was late and left. Harry didn't really care much, in fact he was a little pleased because jamming with even one other person besides a drummer was usually difficult and annoying (drummers barely needed to be competent for a casual j...

"My name's Harry," he replied, brushing hair from his face. Dan's attention turned to Trish, and Harry fiddled around a bit with his fine tuning, taking a seat next to the guitar amp. He wished he'd brought his FX pedal, then he could've really shown off. Adwin Green appeared in the doorwa...

Harry was about to reply, but he didn't get the chance seeing as the bassist didn't wait for an answer. Instead he started a new song up, one that wasn't the least bit familiar. It sounded interesting enough, even if it wasn't quite his style; the lead guitar was overwhelming from the get-go and it ...

Harry Tsai had stopped by his locker to grab his guitar and head home when there was a sudden blaring tone from inside the music room, just across the hall. Startled, Harry wheeled around (nearly dropping his gig bag in the process) and froze as the room became silent again. He scratched his nose wi...

Huy loosened his embrace and gripped her shoulders. He looked at her with cautious optimism, his mouth open just a little. Was this a second wind for Anna? Then he thought, what about when that runs out? He couldn't let that happen. He would have to protect her not only physically, but mentally. If ...

Huy shook his head, shutting his eyes as tears now burned down his cheeks. Had he just been fighting a lost battle from the beginning? Maybe. Either way, it hurt so much now to see his friend in such anguish, and he hugged her tight as she let it out. He didn't know what to do. Maybe they could just...

Anna was losing the game. Maybe she was losing her mind. Huy fought back unexpected tears as she curled into a pitiful little ball and begged him to kill her. "No Anna!" he said urgently to her, dropping the axe and throwing himself to his knees in front of her. He grabbed her by the shoul...

Huy had shut his eyes just before the axe made its sickening impact in the other boys sternum, but the wet sound of penetrated flesh still crawled through his ears and burrowed into his mind. As the attacker fell he pulled the deeply-buried weapon with him. Huy allowed his grip to release. Finally, ...

Huy cursed frantically under his breath and got to his feet as the attacker rose again, making a desperate beeline towards the two of them. He was horrifying in his relentlessness, running full-tilt at them with nothing more than the remains of his hands at his disposal. Despite the sweat slicking h...

Huy felt so relieved as Anna wrenched him down by the collar. He gripped the axe tightly in one hand, allowing himself to be pulled down to one knee and embraced. Huy didn't say anything. He watched the fallen assailant with clenched teeth, his heart pounding and his lungs quite short of breath. &qu...
