The mechanical beep, beep, beep of an digital alarm clock stirred Cassie from her deep slumber. Groaning, her fingers fumbled around as they sought out the offending sound. The alarm stopped once her fingers slammed down on the button. Hiding...
Morrigan smiled sadly at the young girl. "Are you sure you want to go through with this? You can take time to think about it a bit more, if you like." Anger flushed through Cassie's face, she cackled, "You ask...
Morrigan dismissed the look of astonishment on Cassie face, "Yes, Cassie, I am human. If you would be so kind to help me to the fire, we can sit down by your friends and I will tell you my story."...
The view from the gondola was incredible. A metal bar ran around the whole inside just under the windows. Stick hopped and ran around the bar, amazed at the lushness of the world below her. She had never been this...
When Cassie woke the next morning both Stick and Hazel were not in their beds. She looked across at Hazel's bed, it had been slept in, as the sheets were messed and pulled back. His boots were missing as well....
When they left the Obelisk, Stick was first to break the silence, "So guys. I am starving. And I know you both probably are as well. What do you say we start our journey off right by eating some breakfast?"...
Cassie sat straight up in bed. The image from the dream rattled her mind and while it disturbed her a bit, it seemed more like a warning not an outcome. Hazel slept next to her, his still form snoring softly....
They hung out in silence, watching the others dance and laugh, their bodies melding into the wall behind them. Hazel wondered if this was going to be one of the last grand parties held at the Obelisk. That is, if...
He was thinking about Cassie. She had always left him captivated. From the moment he met her, even till now. He wasn't sure what it was about her. But he thanked the Gods for that day when he first met...
The waltz continued for a few more minutes. Cassie rested her head on Hazel's chest the entire time. If anyone watched them, Cassie did not care nor did she see them. She kept her eyes closed the entire time. It...
Stick hopped down from her chair. A few fae gathered around Stick in admiration, shaking her tiny hand in praise. The band lead whisked the chair away as the band broke out into another set of songs. While most of...
Everyone turned their heads and attention to the back of the room. Cassie had to stand up in order to see what everyone was looking at. There in the back, were six faeries. Some stood, holding pipes and strange guitar-keyboardish...
They walked out into the hallway. The sun had faded, casting orange and yellow glows on the tapestries hanging on the walls. Cassie felt that something seemed out of place, as they headed back to the main room. It almost...
The faerie waited for Cassie to follow behind her. "Right this way milady." Cassie giggled. She thought it was incredibly funny as she did not feel quite like a Lady. At least not yet. "Maybe in a few years," she...
"Please come inside," the faerie in the middle called out to them. Hazel gripped Cassie's hand and they stepped forward into the room. Hazel stopped and dropped to his knee, "Sire, I have found her as requested." "Rise child," he...
Hazel smiled at Cassie, "It should not be long now." "About how long you think it will take us to get from here to there?" Hazel looked at the sky once more. The sun was almost directly above them. "Not...
They continued down the path. Cassie had fallen in love with the faerie world. The land was wild, untouched by humans and their destructive ways. It reminded her of what her world must have been like before mankind started forcing...
Hazel stopped playing. The magic faded back into the dark. They arrived, wherever here was. Hazel lovingly slipped the white pipe back into its pouch. Cassie looked around. She could make out the tree shapes in the dark. It was...
And while she didn't want to believe it, Blackwell became her home. The second day Cassie was there, she was introduced to drug therapy. She refused to take them at first. She knew that if she took them, they would...
Dedication To the real Cassie, who’s undying spirit and love for myth carry this story forward. May our paths cross again one day. I miss you. ********************* Chapter 1 It's a picture perfect autumn day outside. Large pines sway in...
