The System: During The Oscillation, some force changed people; we transformed from humans to these creatures multiple times within the span of the event, and after the cracks and lights in the sky vanished, so did our humanity. The System functions in a similar manner to a game; we have different stats, abilities, and it has provided some kind of …
B2 — 13. The Ugly Truth
Update: I fixed this to be the proper Chapter 13 and because of my blunder of releasing Chapter 13 instead of 11 last week, I released both Chapters 11 and 12, putting them in their proper place. I hope you enjoy the double release! Rachel stretched as she stirred, the soft sounds of obscure voices within a few miles cycling …
B2 — 12. Me, A Saint?
Update: Since my mistake last week of releasing chapter 13 instead of 11, I did a double release of chapters 11 and 12 this week to get us back on track. I put Chapter 13 in the proper place, too. I hope you enjoy the double release this week! Maria sat on the bench, enjoying the warmth of the rising …
B2 — 11. Miracles of the Immaculate
Update: So, I accidentally skipped by 2/3 of Maria’s chapters. Last week I was half delirious from sleep loss and was releasing the chapters on my phone (a freaking pain). I didn’t realize it until I started thinking about a few comments I got asking about Maria and what she did during the daytime. Once I realized it … I facepalmed. …
B2 — 10. Challenge
Maria stretched out against the glass as she soaked in the weak rays of light shining through the window. The experience was magical; it wasn’t that she could feel the heat as much as the energy it gave her. Her sore muscles eased, her mind cleared, and her fatigue dissipated like the blazing sun cutting through dense fog. Opening her …
B2 — 9. Rampant Thoughts
Rachel took a deep breath as she exited the room; her ears shifted a few different directions as she gathered a general understanding of the current situation. The conversation has changed a little; now people are wondering what the Military wants with me, but that’s understandable. She listened to a conversation between a Supervisory Special Agent and what seemed like …
B2 — 8. Dark Secrets Pt. 2
“Oh,” he started, blinking rapidly. “I apologize … I guess you could say that.” He groaned, rubbing his left shoulder. “It just hit me all at once. You mentioned red tape … that’s all I’ve been dealing with the last forty-two hours—even before The Oscillation. I’d had quick power naps between calls and reports, but for the most part, it’s …
B2 — 8. Dark Secrets Pt. 1
Rachel’s tail twitched as she heard Tom’s muscles relax. He rolled his neck with a low moan, taking a deep breath before letting it out in a steady stream. “Alright, well then, I think we’ve got ourselves a deal. You’re sure you can convince the others?” She maintained her relaxed posture, legs crossed while smiling. “As long as you give …
B2 — 7. Royal Flush
Rachel looked down at the folders in front of Tom. “So, does this mean we’re finally going to get to the purpose of your visit?” “You could say that,” Tom unfolded his legs and straightened. “What do you know about The Oscillation and the current state of the world?” “Hmm,” she folded her arms across her stomach. The purpose of …
B2 — 6. A General’s Prediction
Rachel shifted the bag of pads in her hand, lips dropping into a slight frown as she stared at both men. Playing dumb won’t help my case; he expects me to know everything he’s talked about since arriving. He thinks I’ll make a perfect soldier, or he could be using that tactic to try throwing me off before negotiations. If …
