Walking onto the beach, Sora observed several couples as they brimmed with emotion.  Why don’t I have that?  What do I need to do? I’m okay with friendship; it doesn’t have to be love. She rubbed her left shoulder.  Will Wendy forgive me … can we still be friends? Sitting down on the sand, she noticed her footprints were lighter …

Sora’s eyes snapped open as she heard the elevator doors open.  She stretched out with a blissful sigh as her tail wiggled under the sheets.  Sitting up, she threw out her arms, feeling the burn in her back.  Scratching at her ears, she hummed with pleasure as tingles shot to her brain.  She frowned while opening her eyes, quickly adjusted …

Scaling her hotel’s balconies, Sora landed back in her penthouse and went inside to plop into a couch.  Scratching the base of her right ear, she growled in frustration.  “Three years, I’ve been doing everything I could think of to get away from Kari.  I hated and feared her and everyone in her pack.  Now … I don’t really care, …

Sora continued through the night; scaring people with hideous phantasmal monsters to legendary creatures of wonder, she played with Miami Beach’s nightlife citizens and tourists.  To some, she switched signs around, to others entire streets, to one couple she made them think they’d disappeared into a fantasy world.  The experience, emotion, and expressions gave her an exhilarating thrill. Slowly Sora …

Drying herself off as best she could with paper towels, she left the restaurant.  Slowly walking back to her penthouse, Sora pondered over her personality flips. I don’t understand why, but I’m not afraid of Kari anymore.  Not even after seeing her power.  It just made me giddy with excitement, and I couldn’t stop taunting her … Even though I …

Sora’s heart was pounding as she entered the school; most classrooms were locked for the weekend. I never thought this day would come.  Kari’s probably in the gym preparing to lift weights. Her incident with Lori must have spread because everyone there for weekend practice couldn’t keep their eyes off her.  She slowed as some of the band boys stopped …

Not five feet away stood Jin with the biggest man she’d ever seen; the man didn’t smell human either.  Jin had black pants and a white V-neck t-shirt on.  She had gained a few golden accessories too, a gold chain necklace and a few rings. The giant next to her wore a black tank-top and shorts that extended a little …

Sora’s eyes shot open as sharp electricity coursed through her body, spine rippling with simultaneous stimulations that sent a jolt of pain throughout its entire length.  Eyes squeezing shut, Sora’s breath exited with heated whimpers.  Her fingers dug into the couch as spurs burrowed into every inch of her body. Not again!  How many more—nights will this happen?  ‘Till my …

Sora was shocked to find an elementary girl sitting on an air-conditioning unit, examining her fingernails.  More shocking was her black and crimson-tipped cat ears and ruby-ended two tails that weaved behind her. The girl looked up at Sora as she made it to the roof.  Her ink-black hair reached under her jaw and halfway down her neck, curling in.  …

Arriving at her hotel, the tenants called for the elevator.  Howie greeted her with a frown as the doors opened.  “Skipping classes again?  This isn’t like you.” Sora grimaced as she entered.  “I know.  Maybe I’m hitting my rebellious stage … it’s just—there are some things happening at school that I just don’t want to be a part of.” Howie …
