Lorenzo had to give it to him, the boy had bigger balls than he previously gave him credit for. He was either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid to mouth off to someone who could smash his head in at any given moment. Lorenzo couldn’t help but smile as he listened to Diego’s rant. He wasn’t wrong...

Lorenzo stared down the smaller boy as he started to speak. First, his words came out unsteady and weak, but Diego seemed to regain a sense of confidence as he continued. It almost brought a bit of a smile to Lorenzo’s face. Almost. Lorenzo was still prepared to smash the boy’s skull in if need be. ...

[Amelia Fischer Continued From Everlasting ] Alone. Amelia was all alone. Alone. Tired. Angry. Afraid. Devastated. On the brink of not knowing what she was even doing anymore. What had she done? She left Declyn. She should have waited. She should have asked him what to do. Now she was hours away fr...

Lorenzo almost laughed out loud at the response he received. He shook his head at the sheer audacity and absolute insanity of it. An ally? What kind of person could honestly say such a thing to him? After what he’d done? After surviving on this island for this long? Allies were in short supply. Almo...

[Amelia Fischer Continued From Eclipse ] The sun rose, and she hadn’t slept at all. It made her body feel awful and sluggish and heavy. Her throat and mouth were dry and tasted awful. It had been days since she could brush her teeth or rinse her mouth. Her eyes were bloodshot and it took all her wi...

“It’s the only thing that feels like it makes sense right now.” Jackson joined Ariana in attempting to make their cause sound worthwhile. Maybe Henry was right. After all, who were they to judge others for doing exactly what they were contemplating doing. However, it was different for them. They wer...

[Lorenzo Tavares Continued From Heeling Of The USS Dekcuc ] Keep moving. Check the tracker. Avoid contact for now. Find shelter. Lorenzo moved at a quick pace through the trees and rain. Ducking and dodging branches and tree trunks and he anxiously tried to get as far from where he killed Emil as p...

Jackson felt the cloud of uncertainty and doubt begin to form over all of their heads once more as Ariana spoke. Jackson kept his eyes glued to the ground as he listened to her explain their current goal. What was keeping them together. What they decided they were going to do. It felt wrong, but wha...

Lorenzo smiled, in spite of everything. Wouldn’t it have been great to do what Demetri said. Go with him, and spend what was left of their days together, doing what they could to survive, before the island inevitably swallowed them along with the rest of their classmates. To give up his crusade to g...

It was funny, really. Lorenzo couldn’t quite remember the last time he and Demetri had spoken for this long. Honestly, it might have been that day. The day their friendship died. His heart hurt just thinking about it. What a waste. He should have tried to bridge the gap, maybe. It was strange, but a...

[Amelia Fischer Continued From Know Your Enemy ] Jonathan left. Took his bags with him and left the hideaway the group had found in the woods. Amelia wondered why. Another person was leaving them. She didn’t understand. Declyn soon followed after him. He didn’t take any bags. Declyn would come back...

Lorenzo heaved over the pile of vomit he’d just expelled. His eyes were still watery, both from the frustration in his gut and the rawness he was beginning to feel in his throat. Another wave of nausea overcame him, and he puked out what little was left inside, nothing coming from inside but bile an...

The rain came, just as she suspected. Amelia sat by Declyn’s side through the night until he awoke. The others got some rest, and she lied and said she’d done the same. She knew that telling lies was bad, but she just didn’t want anyone to worry over her. She would sleep eventually, but for now… For...

The sound the maul made when it connected with Emil’s head made all the hair on Lorenzo’s body stand up straight and his stomach do a somersault in his body. And the blood. Lorenzo had been very close to Emil when he attacked, and thus he was well within the splash zone when the side of Emil’ face e...

Missed again. Emil was injured, yes, but now he seemed more focused. No more jokes. No more nonsense. He was playing for real now, and Lorenzo had made the mistake of thinking otherwise. Emil was to the side, but Lorenzo had swung hard, and he didn’t have time to change trajectories or defend himsel...
