Chapter 11: A Bright and Shining Center
A low whine filled the air.
The dunes raced by beneath my speeder. In the passenger seat, Bo-Katan followed the horizon with her scanner. We left behind the shadow of our landing craft, already rising to bring down another search ...

Chapter 14: Take Me to Church
âShe only eats when youâre here,â Rias said.
I frowned. âOnly?â
âMmhm.â Rias sighed, idly flicking through a copy of The Art of War that Mittelt had thrown at her the other day. âCan you believe that Mittelt said that this book was âwritten for idiot...

âGuh!â Rias stretched, draping her sweat towel artfully over her shoulders. âYouâre such a harsh taskmaster, Taylor!â
I folded my arms and shrugged.
âI appreciate the additional training,â Kiba said. He didnât look nearly so worn down as his king. Instea...

Chapter 12: In Which Taylor Kills More Children
The girls poked through the room, one in front of the other. I focused on the one with long white hair that the other was clearly trying to protect. Theyâd checked their corners before entering, but I was covered in a veil of darkness up in the rafters.

âI donât know how you managed to make Akeno more mad at you while I was gone,â Rias said.
The entire peerage, except for Gasper, sat in the living room of the condo. My favorite cute dhampire was represented in spirit by an equally petite and effeminate fallen...

Chapter 10: Purgatorio
Waiting was the worst part.
I found myself running my fingers over the frayed edges of my new prayer book. The thing was small enough to slip neatly into my jacket pocket, and though I wanted a chance to examine it, I hadnât had a moment alone since Iâd introduced Mittelt to Rias. The devil...

Episode 2.1: Lab Rats and Lizard Wizards
I sighed as I ripped open the gauze packet. It was a pain to do one handed.
âAnd what was it this time?â I pressed the gauze to the long gash on his arm. âHold that there.â
Peter pressed a thumb to the gauze. At least heâd listened about the utility belt and ma...

Once again, the ringing of her phone drags Taylor back to wakefulness.
