The Head Hunters

Many in the small village of Elcher Hill had not believed that the young woman who stood before them had the power to protect them. When the beast came the night before, she met it with blade and cunning. Werewolves are hard to kill, but she had experience enough to deal with a newly transformed beast. When it had lunged at her, she had stabbed her silver dagger into its chest and allowed herself to fall backwards. When her back hit the ground, her feet shot upwards, propelling the heavy creature off of her and onto its back as well.
It lay there, writhing and howling in pain as the silver poisoned it and the flesh around the wound bubbled and burned. It gave little resistance as she came over and delivered the finishing blow, slicing the head from the body. With her job done, she went to the village elder with her gruesome trophy and collected her reward.
That night she washed the blood and sweat from her body and tried to relax, but her mind was racing once again. Another werewolf was slain at her hands, but it was still a newly transformed beast. It wasn’t the one she hunted. The werewolf Lycaon had evaded her for four years, spreading death and destruction wherever he went. He was an old wolf, sly and wicked, feeding off of the death it spread from town to town. She had no other leads on where the wolf had gone, so after a good night’s rest she was prepared to return to Namina for her next assignment.
The road was full of travelers so she was rarely lonely on her two day walk to the merchant city. Other hunters called out a friendly greeting to her when she stopped the first night for a rest at a road side tavern. She celebrated with them, but spent her night alone before leaving again. It was late the next day when she arrived in Namina. Although she had money to spare, she didn’t go to either the market or the bazaar to spend any. She was ready for her next hunt.
At the Lounge, the elder stood behind the bar, pouring a drink for a hunter named Ace. She recognized him but ignored when he called out to her. She walked over to the bulletin board where bills were posted. There were several interesting bills posted. She was about to pick one when a hand clamped down on her shoulder.
“Venus, you could at least say hello to me.”
Venus turned to Ace, wishing he would just leave her alone. He knew better than to pester her when she is in one of her moods, but he always wanted to play the peacemaker.
“I would say hello if I wasn’t tired and just wanted to get on with my next hunt. I don’t have much else to do anyway.”
“You’ve been working nonstop lately. You need a rest.”
She turned away from him and back to the board. One bill was for another werewolf who inhabited a forest near the village of Casval. It was odd that a village so near Brax would use a board from Namina to post a bill.
Then there was a bill for a vampire who had been attacking utabi, Altima, and Reshin villages. Several attractive young women had been kidnapped in each attack. The vampire’s exact strength was unknown, but he had managed to kill another hunter already.
The only other interesting bill was for the capture of a Kappa that had been spotted at Velsin falls. Kappas were rarely a challenge for a hunter, but they had more than enough strength to take down a normal human woman. Although they are mostly just curious tricksters, kappas have been known to steal babies and rape women.
Now she just had to make a decision…
Now if you read this story and look at the pictures provided to go along with the story you'll see how I was dressed and erotic it was especially for me and anyone else who saw me. It was the first day of November 2014 and the first snow fall of the year. There were three cabins out near the coast that was rented out for hunting and one of the local girls said that all three cabins had 4 to 6 guys in each one. According to her, these white men were pretty good looking and big masculine types....
The Bounty Hunters Author Note: I wanted to say thanks to Eric and Brain for plot ideas and to Chris for editing. ************************** Magic has always existed but it is now openly acknowledged. 10% of the population is magically sensitive and 5% can actually be taught to cast spells. Only about 1% of the population has the ability to earn a Magic- User 3rd Class license. In a country of 300 million, that means there are potentially 3 million professional practitioners. ...
I gazed at Marva as our ship set down upon Nimbus Five. Both of us wanted Kotchman badly. Badly enough to cause two lone wolves to team up. Each of us had certain skills that placed up in the elite of the bounty hunter trade, still he had evaded us. The only bright side to his last evasion was that it swelled the price on his head so sweetly, that even dividing the pot in half, Marva and me would not have to ply our trade again for a very long time. We were using my ship because it made...
Sissy Hunters By Meganprincess I am writing this from the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat in the south of France. A few years ago, staying at a place like this would have been a mere dream. My husband was a policeman back then. What we had wasn't a glamorous life and we barely managed to pay our bills. Paul was usually unhappy and started to drink too much due to the stress of his job. I was frustrated and didn't know what to do with myself. And then one day I discovered Tumblr. What a...

I was just hoping to get Tommy Marston’s attention.” Mel rubbed her breasts as the night air breezed past us. I kept sneaking looks at her while trying not to crash the car, being that it was a beautifully restored 1967 Mercury Cougar (351 Windsor, naturally), and of course, it didn’t have airbags. So I...
Auction HuntersCh. 1 (no sex, all introductory material)The auction was not scheduled to begin until six in the evening, sharp, but the estate was opened up at ten in the morning to potential bidders. That’s when Christie and I got there. We had a lot of searching to do and not that much time. Unfortunately, many other bidders were there as well. I could only guess at how many of them knew what sorts of things Bob had been up to and what treasures might be hidden in the crumbling old Victorian...

Remington Alexander LaBaux (Remi) was an only child. He was born and raised on an old family plantation in northern Louisiana, which grew sugar cane, as did most of the plantations in that region. The plantation had been in his family since before the Civil War and was handed down to the oldest male of each generation since it was founded. His mother had passed away during child birth and his father, being a man of the land with not much of an education, had sent him off to boarding school for...
Roebuck is part of the Taurian Concordat and the Concordat was tired of all the Pirate attacks. They wanted us with them for an attack on Tortuga Prime which was the major Pirate base in this sector. Eager Beaver was willing to release us to them for this attack. They, the Concordat and the Mining Company, had discussed it and it ended up that our contract was sold to the Concordat. The Concordat gave us two choices, we could go in with everyone else with no intelligence on the planet, no...
Bradley Parker lived in the near desert east of Carson City Nevada. He had no neighbors for several miles. His massive stone house had been built as a mine building during the mid-eighteen hundreds when the gold rush was in full bloom. The place was built as a strong defense against claim jumpers and robber gangs. Brad had bought the place in 96, he had become tired of being a big city cop and decided to become a Bounty Hunter. The money he made on his first few apprehensions of bail bond...
Dirk and I were split up. We each went into a Scout Lance for the two new Lances of Shadow. The first thing we did was to start to familiarize the others with the area. That didn't take long and as we were doing that we were beginning to become acquainted with each other. Mack Flannery was the Captain of Shadow. He rode around in a Catapult which is a 65 ton missile launcher. Its main weapons are two LRM-15s which can turn out a lot of missiles. Lt. Randy Larson was the Executive Officer...
When you speak of 'Games' most people don't think of the quarterly games put on by each of the five members of the Inner Sphere, they think of Solaris VII, also known as the Game World. It's here the top Mech Warriors migrate, having made their way up the ladder from the less well known arenas, from the minor leagues so to speak. We here on the Periphery like the games also. As Solaris VII is too far to travel (and as many of us here on the Periphery can't or won't return to the Inner...
Cold. She was chilled to the bone, unable to move. Even the talons of the creatures that mauled her were made of ice. They gouged deep furrows in her flesh that seeped drops of crimson. Tala fought in the chilling darkness, desperately trying to escape the grasping tentacles that held her prisoner. They were everywhere, imprisoning her body, confining her in the nightmare world of black dreams. They held her fast, unrelenting as they pried her legs and arms apart, preparing her for... him....
We didn't take leave two and a half weeks later. I had only been back ten days and there were things I needed to catch up on. Shadow Brigade was now three full Regiments. In fact we were a bit larger than that with a Training Battalion and the Battalion I had 'purchased'. These were not to be hired out. One stayed here while the other one guarded HellHole. We had decided that three Regiments was as large as we wanted to grow. We might grow larger in the size of our BattleMechs but the...
"Well it would seem we are officially classed as pirates." Four young women sat round a table in a dark corner of a seedy bar located in a rundown city on a lawless rim planet. Theasa looked round the table at her comrades and captain. "I hacked into the planetary security network and we are on the list, a bounty on our heads." She shook her head. "It's not fair we are lumped together with that murdering bitch Sisanna." A tear trailed down her cheek. "I only just failed the mating...
The queue for drinks at the bar melted away as soon as Minara bared her teeth. Filed teeth marked her out as a failure, but she had learnt that generally, people both male and female, regarded her and others like her with fear. For some it was justified, and the woman she had come to meet had a reputation as a ruthless bounty hunter and pirate. Some of the things she was reported to have done were justified, some, Minara suspected, were meant to enhance her fearsome reputation. Minara...
How did she learn about GPS coordinates? Wait, what is she using to get GPS coordinates accurate down to two feet or less? She didn’t even have anywhere to put a radio. I didn’t get an answer to that question, but Ellen regularly called out on the radio the GPS location and elevations where she found one of the people who tried to escape when they found that the attempt to kill me fucked up. “Suspect located, but unable to approach due to canine unit refusing to stand down,” someone said...
Vergil had never felt so small and insignificant until he saw a toddler the size of a mountain staring at him. Its hand rested beside a towering book that could put skyscrapers to shame hung halfway in a corner covered in a fine layer of dust. His head pounded from something called a hunter packet burned into his mind like a brand. Information filled his mind about things he never wanted to know and couldn’t resist. Staring into the eyes with flecks of green larger than him made knowing things...
FantasyWith the expansion of Shadow one of the first things that was needed was some reorganization. Each of the three Company commanders were given another Company and a Command Lance and promoted to Major. I tapped Bruce MacAmon and Jero Conn as my two Company Commanders. As the replacements came in to enlarge to this size we started to train them in the Shadow way of fighting. We depend on each other much more than any other group I have seen. We start from the first developing team work and...
Three weeks passed by in a wink. I did the swimming that Doc ordered and we went on long walks. When we came back from them we went on long rides. We laughed and talked and played. I was relaxed and freer than I could remember. Drake and Taylor were both picked up. Surprisingly Drake was the hardest to find. He had secured a job as a grunt at the Mech bay and blended in so well he was overlooked twice. Taylor tried to be an old man once too often. I had sent a written message back to the...
They didn't return. For the last three days we have been resting and repairing Mechs. After the main Mechs were repaired, second rides were assigned and repairs made. When each pilot had two rides ready to roar it was relax time for the Techs and Astechs. They had kept us going, repaired, armed and armored when we were fighting for our very existence. We had gone through more ordinance, armor and repairs during this ten days than we had done during the whole of the last year. They now...
We spent five weeks on Tortuga before the Colonel returned. He seemed pleased with himself so I guess everything went off well. That evening he called a meeting of all the officers. "Well, this is how it is. They were very pleased with our fight at Port Krin and even more so with the defeat of the Pirates here and the end of Paula Travelina. There was a bounty on her head of one megacredits." "Now the real news. I turned the treasure trove over to them with us getting a finder's fee....
"Mick, I know you're going to like this one, you're always complaining of being bored." said Colonel Ezekiel 'Zeke' Jones, when everyone was finally present for a Staff Conference he had called. Shadow Brigade is a Mercenary Regiment and I am one of the Battalion Commanders. We had just enlarged from being a Battalion and I wasn't even used to being called 'Major' yet. "We have received a call from Thomas Calderon, Protector of the Taurian Concordat himself for a job. We are being...
I stood looking at her teach in the classroom as I sat at my desk. Her perky lips moved as did her nicely sized boobs as she maneuvered. My panties got wet again as deep breaths were taken in. Admiration had a lot to do with my attraction and getting over my crush wasn't an option. A few years before, I sat in one those student chairs in her math class. Even as I hated the subject, I always arrived in the classroom as an anxious woman. Two years after I graduated from high school, I came back...

First TimeThe 8 bodies fell from the sky toward the Alien world. The group of Predators watched. The new hunting program has been put into the effect. The Predators still wished to fight the greatest warriors earth had to offer. But the most worthy of the fighters would no longer be killed, but impregnated. The Predators wanted the best of the human genome introduced into theirs, with the purpose of enhancing their own abilities. However, only the most worth subject would be worthy of such honor. The...
Jane took a deep, steadying breath as she looked at the grime covered manhole that would take her down into the sewers and eventually to the lair of the monsters she was here to slay. For nearly her entire life Jane had been trained to fight monsters, creatures that most humans believed were confined neatly to storybooks. The monastery had books on every type of monster that had been cataloged, and Jane had studied them all. She had sparred with the brothers and sisters at the temple. She had...

Our heroes are three geeks Benjamin, Aaron and Julian. They are currently film students looking to make a movie about ghosts. Ben and Aaron had known each other since childhood, Julian they just met at film school and quickly bonded with. Ben was sat at a computer researching supposedly haunted places. "How do we do this? I mean ghosts will require some special effects" said Aaron. "I'm thinking we do something like the Blair Witch Project where we don't actually see the ghost" Julian...
One headline caught my eye "Prominent Republican Politician Sought in Rancho Santa Fe Shooting" I clicked the article, it was about a wealthy man being found dead in Rancho Santa Fe and they suspected his wife of shooting him. There was a photo of the woman, and although older I spotted the immediate facial resemblence to Sophie -- the surfer girl I had met a while back. I ran upstairs and found the prepaid. I returned to the family room and sent Sophie a text with a link to the...
After they had the huts finished, the water supply taken care of and even finding they had plenty of food with the coconuts and the bananas, the fishing was good and Mr. Candleford even managed to trap a wild pig in a pit trap that worked perfectly. The only hard part was to get the carcass out and get it prepared for eating and then to smoke and keep the remaining meat safe for future use. In a sense, it was good that they were there on the island because the things would have started to...
The next morning Fighting Hawk and Paul left the village with the first rays of the sun. All they carried was their knife. Fighting Hawk started his lessons as soon as they had left the village. Tracking and catching his first small game was his first lesson. Fighting Hawk wondered if he had been this bad when Gray Eagle had led him from the village so many years ago. He hoped that they didn't starve. By the end of the first month, Paul could hunt any small game and they managed to put some...
Shadowing Stan © 2005 Deanna Lea I walk in your night time shadows; steps behind you. In the past my shadow was a dream floating secretly in your mind. Yes, I do know your secrets. I hear your heavy breathing as I come closer, tonight you walk quickly, wanting to run, but tonight our shadows become one. I hold a steady pace knowing your steps will slow, I always catch you, and catching you is what you want. Tonight two shadows merge, and it's a good thing Stan, because...
"Shadow?" I blinked my eyes bringing myself back from the enchantment spell that her eyes as well as her hold body has the power to put me under, 'Hmm?' Her eyes flickered with a slight worry as she laid there watching me. "Baby are you okay?" I nodded then smiled at her, reassuring her that everything was okay. Chloe looked so beautiful laying there before me. It was like seeing her for the first time all over again. We had been dating for a few months now but every time that I saw her...
Harding Residence, Immediately Following Tess’s house burned with a roaring fire and soon the whole structure would be incinerated. The last thing any of the group saw before the explosion was Alex getting inside; they never saw him come out. All they could see was red-hot flame and a cloud of billowing smoke that rose higher and higher. Isabel felt her heart stop and she would have fallen to her knees if Liz hadn’t held her. All any of them could do was stare, they couldn’t believe what...
They allowed the Pirates to withdraw and leave the planet to lick their wounds. We set about repairing our damage and removing the captured Mechs from the battlefield. I had been assisting in the Mech bay when Rachel sent for me. When I reported to her office Captain Tor of Martine's Marauders was there. "Leofa, I have some bad news for you," he said. Before he could continue Rachel left the office. From his looks and her actions I knew what was coming. "It's Marci isn't it?" I...
I left feeling better. I took one of the shuttles and went home. After four days there I started to get bored. Dad's work was great for him but I was not ready for all the headaches of running a farm, overseeing a sawmill or two mining operations. I still enjoyed the headaches I got from running a Battalion. I did look into the trading a bit more. I had feelers out through them looking for something. So far it hadn't shown up but it would. I also viewed the latest letters from Sean. Like...
It was coming up on a year after the start of the Cate's Hole invasion when I got some interesting news. I contacted J.J. and Karuska to see if they wanted to assist. The three of us took leave and headed in system. My destination was St. Ives. I had been invited to speak to the graduating class at the Academy. While I was doing that the other two would be following up on the tip that I'd gotten. I was met at the Spaceport by a Liaison Officer who escorted me through customs and took me to...
Zeke wasn't too happy about what we'd done. You've heard about being chewed a new one? Well he didn't do that, he just chewed around the old one and it fell out! He didn't like me risking the others (they volunteered), he didn't like me risking the ships (they were my ships) and he didn't like me risking the Mechs (the Mechs had been left behind with the Regiment). When he finally stopped ranting I asked him one question and that brought down the house. "Do you want me to give them...
We were on a simple movement from one location to another. There wasn't supposed to be any hostiles around for many klicks. The sun was shining and we were skirting a set of woods. It was a day made for poetry. Something about birds, sunshine and that stuff when charging out of the woods came tanks like I've never seen before. They didn't register on my MAGs and the IR reading was very weak. They turned their guns on us and opened fire. I would have thought that we were still out of range...
Chapter 09 Leah took my hands in hers and smiled. "Everyone's gone home, Shannon. It's just you and me now." "Yeah, you and me... and the three Doms waiting for me in the games room," I said nervously. We were sitting in my kitchen, clothed again of course, and sipping our 'one last margueritas'. I'd just finished telling her how embarrassing tonight had been, and yet how wonderful it was to be massaged by so many hands afterwards. Even though my mind was doing cartwheels, every muscle in my...
BDSMChapter 03 Mornings are wonderful on 'our weekends'. Not having to jump out of bed at first light to feed and keep our children occupied is such a blessing. Perhaps I should feel guilty, but when our two little ones are at Grandma's house, Johan and I get to be and act like we always have with each other. For two whole days a week we can relax and be two horny people who both enjoy sex, having fun, playing with toys, and all kinds of other 'regular' things too. 'Our weekend' stretches from...
BDSMChapter 04 I was standing in front of the mirror shifting my weight from one foot to the other and debating whether to lift the hem of my thin, white cotton skirt with my trembling hands. I wasn't sure if I really wanted to check what I looked like. I just knew it would only make me feel worse. My hands froze and I looked up into my face. My sunglasses were perched on my head, holding my hair behind my ears and I was blushing madly. It suddenly struck me that I was so excited I could hardly...
BDSMThe walk back to the Clan Hall seemed oddly quiet after the loud question and answer session with the children. Although they had been quite disappointed to learn there never had been a real "Phoebe", I thought we discussed enough actual history to show that many more exciting things existed than one mythical bird. I directed the kids to the library and to the Guild masters with the rest of their questions. The Phoenix Garden was much as I had left it, with the possible glaring exception...
Living Room, Parker Residence, Immediately Following Everyone stood around, the bag of gems on the table glittered in the sunlight but all Liz could do was to stand there dumbstruck. If this was her people’s idea of a marriage proposal then she wanted as little to do with it as possible. She looked at the man before her, the one who made the proposition, and felt ... off. Liz could sense that Patrick was dangerous and that he could care less for her. All he wanted was whatever came with her...

Assembly Hall, Moonvale School, Immediately Following As the light from the sun continued to dim, every single last person in the town ran inside and switched on their televisions. It was the same at the school, the Pride and all other students moved inside as fast as they could. There were a few that ran to their rooms but most went to the assembly hall as it was the closest and had the largest television in the school. As everyone filtered in the Principal turned it on and tuned in the...
A week later we showed up at the drop point to Providence. There was a Leopard Dropship with four Mechs and two aerospace fighters waiting for us. They exchanged places with the No-Name Leopard and gave the Colonel the message. He didn't even unload. We just extended the sails and started a quick recharge. Two days later we were on Tortuga Prime. All three of the Dropships dropped. We had every Mech that we could man aboard and went in ready to repel an invasion. Captain Jacobs is a Very...
Our wait wasn't as long as we'd feared. Ten days and we were on our way. It was two jumps for us. We had the Zenith point so our drop would be longer than the Colonel's. The Air Wing knew what was expected of them and when we came out of the jump they were aboard their fighters and ready. Before the Invader knew we were there we had him covered from four different points with two ships at each of the points. Our infantry had no problem affecting the surrender. Their batteries were full so...
Leaving a Mech on each side of the block and the generators on we withdrew to the production plant. We made this our headquarters for the time being. From there I contacted the Colonel via our satellite linkup and let him know how we were doing, that we had captured all but the one Lance and what we had done to it. I also informed him that we had the production plant with minimal damage and that it was now our headquarters with our Dropships parked outside. The Colonel told me that Milt...
Shortly after lunch Doc stopped by my quarters. I hadn't gone to lunch, I was too busy working on the sketches of the tanks. I was making different sketches showing different features of the tanks. He picked them up and started to look through them. "My God, Mick. I can see why you'd have nightmares. These things could ruin your whole day. I've never seen anything like these and I hope I never do. You say 5s just bounced off?" "Doc, AC-5s bounced, LRMs didn't appear to bother them a...
There was a stack of folders on my desk when I showed up Monday morning and the first thing I did was move them somewhere else. I then started through the training syllabus. This is the heart of a training program. What we are teaching the people in the classes. I wasn't pleased with much that I saw. There was too much fluff and not enough meat. I wanted our people to know how to fight, not salute. If they couldn't fight then we didn't want them regardless of how well they saluted. I...
Melinda raced from her last class of the day and past her locker, not risking a delay which could set off the trigger and compel her to think of what waited at home. She wished Heather had not insisted on taking the school bus; she would have preferred Heather go off with Cassie and the others. She knew herself too well; if Heather were around and did nothing to stop Aunt Jo, she would find some way to be angry at Heather. She plunged into the crush of students and elbowed them out of her...
Debby needed only to glance at the psychic auras of Cassie and Ned to know they were excited. An aura had what she called a "potential" band. It glowed brighter whenever the person was feeling a strong emotion. She did not have Cassie's empathy, but the glow of their potential bands combined with their voice and mannerisms allowed her to intuit emotional state. Cassie's dream band, however, gave her cause for alarm. She had never seen it so agitated, as if Cassie were disturbed about...
Matt casually wandered and weaved his way through the people, smiling at some, nodding at others, picking up a salmon topped hors d'oeuvres from a tray offered him by a young girl, probably the daughter of Malcolm, his new boss, and accepting a glass of red wine from another tray, but inexorably making his way towards the kitchen. It was a fact that all good parties started and ended in the kitchen.At forty-one years old, he had been lucky to get the job as a senior scientific researcher at a...
Love StoriesSISSY HEADHUNTERS by Kimmie Holland and Meeah Mackenzie **One** Andy tried not to be obvious about it: but it was hard not to notice that there wasn't another white person in the entire restaurant. He'd let Mr. Asad pick the place of their lunch meeting. Maybe that was a mistake. But he wanted to make sure everything was to the black man's liking. Andy hadn't landed an account in months so when he'd been contacted by a corporate...
