Eight months ago.
Under the covers of his bed the small figure of eight years old Zax could be made as he lay, bitter. He was angry with his mom, angry with his dad, resentful toward Mr. Ogler, cursed half the kids in his school and hated himself. It was the outcome of a typical bad day for Zax, and he was currently grounded for fighting.
Waiting to Dane with Serah near the school's gate at the end of the school day, to go back home together, four third graders passed them by with bored expressions. One of the four third graders noticed Zax and a grin spread across his face.
To not go into too many details as to why, the third grader called: "Earth's Core Freak, how about you stop showing off at P.E. My little brother says that you annoy everyone. You are not your sister, so please just stay Earth's Core freak, Earth's Core Freak".
Not much of an insult but enough to tick off eight years old Zax. He did not mind when his friend used the stupid nickname but was sick and tired of others using it to taunt him and more than anything hated to be compared to his big sister!
Hence, he beat up the third grader, and then he beat up the other three third graders when they intervened.
Not too far away from the scene of the brawl, it was Mr. Ogler's turn to be on gate duty. Having to wait for the last kid to leave school before he or she could lock it and finish another day of work was a pain to every teacher. So when Mr. Ogler heard shouts and saw Zax leaning over some kid and punching him in the face while three other kids lying on the ground, one bleeding from his nose, two grabbing their groin in pain, it did not matter who started it, just who seemed to be the victim.
Mr. Ogler of course did not listen; he had zero tolerance for violence. He grabbed Zax by the collar of his shirt, yanked him off from the beaten kid and took him to the secretariat of the school to call his parents.
It ended with Zax's mom coming from work to apologize for her child behavior and pick him up from school. Later, when his father got back home from work, he only scolded his son. As lenient as he was, he did not want some angry parent to sue his family because of hospital bills. He had to deal with this kind of troubles when his daughter was young and could not afford to repeat it. Obviously, today he can use her name once and others will have to give him face. But to exploit his daughter's name because of a kids quarrel, how could he?
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Pause...
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Pause...
After six knocks the person behind the door lost patience and entered. "Will you ignore your sister, little Zi?" The voice that followed the young beautiful woman in said jokingly.
To answer, Zax held tight the covers above his head and from beneath them he yelled: "Go away!"
"Oh ... So you are angry with me too?" Zetsa grabbed the other side of the blanket and pulled till Zax lost his grip and could not hide himself anymore. Zax face was red and his eyes were teary. "Mom told me that you were in a fight, again, this time hurting four boys. Is that true?" She asked in a serene voice. Her brown hair reached to the end of her neck and now fell on her face as she looked down on her brother.
Unlike him or his parents, his big sister inherited their grandmother's, from their father side, clear blue eyes and olive skin tone. Since he was a baby Zax loved to stare at those eyes and in return those eyes always looked at him with love.
"Yes..." Zax slightly calmed down. Now he was a bit ashamed.
"Do you want to tell me why, or everything that happened is as your teacher told mom?"
"It's not". He allowed her to caress his face with the soft palm of her hand.
"Then tell me".
So he did. And she listened until he finished, not saying anything to interrupt.
"Amm ... Zax, what you always tell me that you want to be?" Using his first name was a sign that she asked seriously.
"A strong Mist User like you". He replied without hesitation.
"And on your path to becoming a strong Mist User like me, are you also planning to repeat my mistakes?" She did not ask him "Why you want to be a strong Mist User" on purpose. Growing in today society, almost every child dreams of becoming a strong Mist User. And children with strong individuals close to them tend to see them as role models, especially children like Zax with a bit of talent.
"Big sis never made a mistake. Otherwise you would not be as powerful as you are". Zax said decisively after thinking for a while.
"But I did, many in your age and even when I was older". Zetsa refrained from signing. Her younger self was not someone she loved to reminisce about. "I constantly gave troubles for mom and dad and was even thrown out of school".
"Everyone says that you were the most gifted person to ever been born in cave twenty five. I know how tough and great you were!"
"Tough, yes, great, not at all, and my talent", the talent that made Zax admire and envy her. "Made me distant from others and bored to the point of looking for fights everyday". She straightened her back and he got up to a sitting position while the both of them kept eye contact.
"Maybe if people noticed what was wrong with me, I would have been sent to a suitable environment for me and a lot of my wrongdoings were never to happen". Zetsa rested for a moment. At the time Zax was already siting on her lap.
"I changed, Zax, because of two things. The first was someone that saw me and something in me worth polishing. The other came a bit later, when I was eleven", She smiled gently and for the first time broke eye contact only to lean forward and kiss his forehead. "That was you, my precious little Zi".
Zax blushed and lowered his head. For the first three years of his life he was determined to one day marry his beautiful big sister and it took him three more years to fully differentiate between love and admiration. Nonetheless, Zetsa was remarkably beautiful and Zax, an eight years old boy, who got her undivided attention whenever he needed could not be anything other than submissive when she showed him such an affection.
"Zax", she turned to him with an offer on her mind. "For today and until Friday you will take the punishment mom and dad gave you and tomorrow you will apologize to the children you hurt-"
"But it wasn't my-" Zax burst.
"You used violence to solve a verbal conflict". She did not let him finish.
"So would you prefer that I'll curse at them instead of showing that I'm tough?" Zax was upset. Fighters in the Earth's Core's showdowns never used verbal insults; they got their respect from the fans by fighting fist to kick. Why should he be any different?
"Cursing is not the way to solve a verbal conflict, either, Zax". Zetsa's serious tone returned. The words she wanted to say were better put in a manner that Zax could not associate with the soft side she had for him. "The best way to solve a conflict is by using as little effort as possible. Ignoring the other side if their words or action cannot affect the flow of yours or your loved ones lives. Telling adults that someone is bothering you and let them handle it. You can even befriend the ones you don't get along with and influence them to be better to you and others".
Zetsa said and Zax listened.
"If I'll ignore they will pick on someone else. If I'll tell an adult everyone will laugh at me. And I don't want to be their friend!" In the end, an eight years old is an eight years old. Some lessons can only be learned through harsh experiences or if someone keeps drilling them to you.
Zetsa was prepared to Zax respond. She was his big sister and knew him well. And here was her idea; seeing as she did not want to expose him to the former solution, only one option remained.
"I have decided. I will teach and polish you, Zax". She put him on the bed and stood up. "You're always asking me to train you to be strong like me. I'm not a lot at home and cannot be there every step of the way, but if you're willing to do as I say without complaining or slacking off ... Fine, I'll agree. So? It's a deal?"
"Big sis will train me!" Zax was hooked the moment the word "Train" came up. His eyes sparkled and he became enthusiastic. He jumped from the bed calling. "It's a deal, it's a deal, it's a deal, big sis!"
"Of course, we will have to make an excuse for mom and dad. Let's tell them that we are working on a brother sister bonding project. Agree?"
“Thank you ... Zax”. A middle aged woman with a combed black hair and a bit of weight around her waist walked toward him with hands down and holding one another. “You shouldn’t, Mrs. Inoki “. Zax shook his head. The woman was the mother of his childhood friends, Weysey Inoki. Mrs. Inoki came to stand beside him, but her view was on the large group of children having the time of their life fighting the living snowmen. “Our home is at the periphery of us, newcomers’ huts. The hut next to us...
As the core of the Guild sat in the office, James finally opened his eyes. Unceremoniously wiping away the tear on his cheek, James willed it, and his guild seal appeared floating in front of him. Much to the surprise of the others, not only did the guild seal appear on the round table, so too did the incorporeal, ethereal form of Jasmine appear. She sat in a seizer position on the table and wore a flowing silk gown, making her only more enchanting than ever. That is, apart from the obvious...
The next day everyone gathered in the courtyard. Jessy looked rather ragged today. Apparently she’d been dragged into the lab at some point for her hypno-memory implant and experienced some things she’d have been better off not ever having witnessed. According to Skay, she very willingly jumped at the chance to join the Brotherhood. The face she made when he said that showed a great deal of grievance however, so James decided to take it with grain of salt. The now ever present Harvy was...

TO DRESS WITH SPIRIT "You know the locals say it's haunted," said my quirky friend Elena as we turned into the long carriage drive which led to the country house hotel in which I'd gained an internship. Her eyes were laughing as she said this, and I pinched her arm jokingly. "Pull the other one." We were both too worldly and rational to believe in ghosts. I'd heard the rumours about the hotel when I talked to people about the internship opportunity, and of course I'd dismissed...

Kara walked into the kitchen before dawn, the smell of coffee and eggs and sizzling bacon rich in the air. Ellen walked over to her without speaking and gave her a very prolonged and fierce hug. Mark's father Tom looked slightly surprised at the intensity of the emotions his wife was showing, but otherwise just nodded his greeting at Kara and smiled. Kara caught Mark's eyes, and she realized Mark had found the time to tell his mother about the horrors in Kara's childhood. Kara felt...

They awoke early the following day, Beth couldn't help but laugh as Marie sat cross legged beside her and asked, "Can we go riding today?" "OK but how about a morning kiss." They kissed for a while before Marie sat back up, "When can we go." "Why don't you go and start the shower, I'll ring Meg and arrange everything and join you in a second." As Marie headed for the bathroom Beth lifted the phone and dialled the stables, "Hello!" "Hi Meg it's Beth, Beth...
The following morning started with Ginny and I being interested observers as Sylvia Porter and Whit Levine, disguised to look like us, took off for Angel's Camp in Ginny's GTO. First thing in the morning I had told Tony Herrera what I wanted. "I thought about this all night. I want these guys to know we know they're there, and that I want them gone. We need to show them that we have our own very good security, and that we can take care of ourselves." I got a big grin in response. And...
With my passing, I felt myself elevating above my body, and was able to look down on the scene below me. Each of my wives was kneeling around me, one hand touching me. I felt their prayers buoy me as they prayed to the Deity or Deities they believed in for my spirit to make the journey safely to wherever they believed spirits went. When Audoflede finished her prayer, she walked to the window and closed a black curtain I hadn’t known was there. Barely a minute later, bells in the tower of the...

She looked just like she was asleep, but I knew she was dead. My friend Phil, almost collapsed from the pain of seeing his wife. A little over an hour ago, I had received a panicky call from Phil. The local police had called, and told him that his wife had been involved in a bad traffic accident, and they...

It was time. The sun had fallen below the treetops. To facilitate the appearance of the Vision, the Medicine Man insisted, ‘You must obey the creed. Enter your Quest as you entered the world.’ Tom left the protection of the cave — completely sober and completely nude. A hundred yards farther up the game trail, in the middle of a pine thicket Tom found a clearing perfect for the vision ground. Slow and silent, he began the prescribed ritual — circle the area, commune with the Great Spirit...
"Are you ready to meet her? I swear, you'll love her," she assured me, lying down with me."Really, Molly? I'll love her? Is she going to be a threat to you?""Yes, yes, and no smart-ass," she giggled, pecking my cheek. "She is just my twin sister, but we're fraternal twins. We don't have superpowers or read each other's minds; only identical twins get those. I can't think of a better woman for you to be with, than me."I nodded and looked away for a second.

TabooThe Spirit of Justice By Heather St. Claire Terry Martin was drunk. That wasn't much of a surprise; he was drunk just about every night, and most days as well. As a college senior and the child of privilege, he could do just about anything he pleased.

Martin was due to graduate in three months, and he knew he hadn't earned the Bachelor's Degree he was going to...
Adonis growled harshly, though his agony stemmed from something other than pain. He moaned and groaned; his limbs moved heavily with a dead weight. The Greek attire he wore was tattered, torn, and hung from an equally torn body. There was no more blood. Actually, there was no pain either, and it felt very odd. He had yet to acclimate himself, being suspended in the Middle World and the world below it. The Middle World still coursed through his veins, the Under World, through his soul. It was...

There was only Dr. Ker with her now. "Dr. Mayoni will be here in just a second," Ker said quietly, and then she looked at some monitors. Jennifer looked at her arm band. She...

Thanks to Jim for editing! I first met James at a Christmas party my parents were throwing. He was the contractor they had hired to put together the new house they were building as an anniversary gift to each other. It would be a lot bigger than the two-storied, three-bedroom house I'd grown up in, which meant that there would be plenty of room for either me or my sister if we needed it, which wasn't something I was about to complain about, considering that at twenty-four, I was about to run...

Do you believe in the supernatural? Well, your belief is irrelevant, because the Spirit of Lust exists. Some say there’s only one, other believe there are many. Regardless, those who have delved in studies of this supernatural entity all agree on what it does. The Spirit of Lust takes advantage of the emotionally weak. It possesses a person and uses their fears, regrets and anger to fuel their lust, leading them to a life of debauchery. There have been many whose lives have been ruined by this...

I'm Ellen James, your new team advisor." "Hi, Miss James. My name is Luis, the team captain. This anglo on my right is Scott; that dude there is Carl, and Jeff is the fool coming out of the bathroom."...

The sharp sound of her alarm clock filled the room. As she turned over to turn it off, she couldn’t believe that morning had come so fast. She laid still and stared up at the ceiling, dreading having to go to work today. That dread was soon replaced by memories of last night. Maybe she dreamt the whole thing, she thought. She sat up and pushed a hand down between her legs to check herself. To her comfort, everything felt normal. When she finally turned to get out of bed she noticed the morning...

The cop folded his notebook, left a business card on the desk, and headed for the door. ‘Ms. Roundtree, don’t drag Tom into something he doesn’t deserve. Call me, when you want to talk.’ He stood in the doorway, turned back and pointed at his Coke bottle on the desk. ‘I forgot my soda.’ Before Tom could react, Hannah jumped up, grabbed the bottle, and handed it to the officer. She didn’t know if Tom had a criminal record, but she wouldn’t risk it. The man was right. Tom deserved better. ...
‘Hey, Chief, what’s your hurry?’ Lisa blocked the front door with spread arms and bedroom eyes, naked. Tom grinned. His resolve to leave diminished while another part of him expanded. ‘I have to get an early start, if I’m going to make the hike in two days.’ Suddenly, torn by indecision, he thumbed her nipples, weighed her proposition in the palm of each hand, and added, ‘You said Jack was coming home this morning. I don’t want to make more trouble for you.’ ‘His flight doesn’t arrive until...
Chapter 1 A soft snowfall blanketed the earth that late night Christmas Eve. The stillness of the evening was broken only by the occasional car that went through the sleepy suburban neighborhood. Julie McPherson heard a car go past as the crunching of the tires against the icy pavement broke the silence. Soon, the sound faded into the distance until it was quiet once more. ‘Probably someone coming home from a party,’ Julie mumbled to herself sadly. She was tired but not sleepy as she...
TEAM SPIRIT: THE SECOND HALF By Meps98 FOREWORD Several years ago I read a story written by Janice the Dreamer titled "Team Spirit". It was wonderful, inventive, and involving, with compelling characters. There was no hero or heroine, just damaged people seeking justice ? as defined by them. This story stuck with me and I found myself asking the classic question, what happened next? I kept creating my own sequel to the original story in my mind. Finally, I was able to contact...
"Oh God I really have to piss!" Shawn Vyce thought as he semi-jogged along the sidewalk. All the bars were closing and he thought he could make it home, but... "Gotta find a place... gotta find a place..." Shawn loped along in his rabbit costume feeling stupid, and hoping he wouldn't have an accident. This wasn't the way he wanted to end Halloween night. He would've much rather spent the remainder back at Liz's place, but she had other ideas. A month ago, Shawn's friend Hank...
Halloween Spirit By Morpheus I stood in the middle of the office floor, looking over the cubicles and office walls which had all been covered with Halloween decorations. The company of Danner, Dyson, and Dexler...or DDD as most people called it, had always supported holiday cheer, almost regardless of which holiday it was. But since Halloween was Mr. Dyson's favorite holiday, it tended to get a little extra attention. Today was Halloween but most of the employees were thinking...
Sunday Later There were a few things Janelle wanted to do immediately. She would have adored showing Bob what true love really felt like, but that would remind him that she was gone, and the memory would hurt him; and she had sworn to herself she would not hurt him any more. She needed to explain to Cutie that there was a difference between sex and love. She also hoped she could talk with her brothers and help them understand that the desires they were feeling were strong, but could be even...

Felek sensed they, too, were too shocked to speak. Well, someone had to say something. He cleared his...
After having a very late dinner with some of her students, Lois wandered about the village in the cool of the night. She still wasn't quite used to how many people would take the time to smile and wave a greeting at her as she passed, even people she'd never met. "Gosh," she thought.

It was beginning of the third...
1:17 PM, biking up a driveway at Cider Junction (4 hours, 11 minutes to path closing) Mark turned the final corner on the long driveway and his old house was visible two hundred meters ahead. A few minutes later his team checked in with Tal, Kahoku, and Anuhea, and learned they were the first team back. Mark was more than a little worried, there was a decent safety margin built into the schedule, but it just seemed ominous that both other away teams were not back with only ten minutes to go....
Clearing up the sex slavery in the whore houses along the USA/Mexico border was a bigger task than Fire Bringer had realized when he started the job. It took about a year to rescue the women and girls and to track down and eliminate all of the criminals involved.

Oh, well, Fire Bringer realized that it...

What they also didn’t know, was that every...
Timmins, Ontario 2005 Standing quietly near my living window, I looked out at the winter night sky. Chimney smoke rose high into the atmosphere as I gazed at the bright sign of the Days Inn Hotel. I placed my hands upon the frosted window and closed my eyes and suddenly a little girl’s tear stained face appeared. Gasping in fright, I took my hand off the window quickly and moved back slightly. ‘What’s wrong mommy?’ My daughter Gabrielle asked me, as she heard my quick intake of breath. As I...

It was the Friday before Christmas, and I was bored to tears. Every one of my friends had family festivities to attend, but I desperately needed to get away from mine. Don't get me wrong, their enthusiasm is great, but I knew that in another hour or so, the photo album would make its annual appearance, and the generous amounts of spirits would encourage the stories and tears to flow freely. I grabbed the gift I bought for my friend, tossed it in a gift bag with some tissue, and quickly made it...
