Lorelei felt the hate roll off Braxton in waves. She caught Tara being smuggled away out of the corner of her eye.<br><br>Good, as long as she's gone we can...
For once, he rebuked himself, I would like to walk in the back of the line.<br><br>Peter stepped into his right flank, forming a wall between the man and...
The mind must be as water; pure, clear and flowing.<br><br>Peter concentrated on a small crowd of people coming. He saw their minds as a river of water which...
Braxton sneered at the man who had dared get involved in his business. The fool actually believed he cold hurt him.<br>"Put that away. It's won't do you much...
A tall woman, in a hot pink skirt and blouse walked up, carrying her purse. Teri fought to keep from getting sick as she latched on to his arm and curled up ...
Braxton ignored the rest of the group- they weren't worth his attention, and decided to deal with his daughter right then and there.<br>"Now hear this, and...
Shada stared at the rest of the group, and smiled.<br>"You know, I don't think he likes any of you very much. And what Braxton doesn't like, I don't like. I ...
Lorelei could feel Braxton poking around her soul. It was like having a dirty wino grope her most private centers. She looked around to see if anyone noticed...
"Since we're whipping it all out for a pissing contest, let me say this.", Steven shifted his gaze in turn from Braxton to Shada to Teri, "My first concern is...
Styphon sat in his hotel room in Berlin after the meeting with Chancellor Schroeder, the Polish and Russian foreign ministers, and the representatives of the...
Braxton stared down at Steven, and sneered, turning his attention from Lorelei's mind. There would be other oppurtunities, and the idiot in front of him needed...
Heyokah placed a hand upon Braxton's shoulder, making him pause for a moment. "I realise that you are a man of actions, sir... but I do not think it would be ...
Steven moved quickly, knowing full well that he had to end this quickly. In a short fist fight, he had the weight of years on his side. If Braxton decided to...

Teri moaned, and shook her head as she sat up.<br>That fall had really knocked the wind out of her. <br>"Uh.........oh hell." Teri had started to speak, but...
He kept an eye on Shada and Braxton as the troupe scurried past. Peter gave a sharp whistle and a wave. Alex and Tara disgorged themselves from a wandering...
Lorelei blinked as Teri shoved her past the writhing bodies beside her.<br><br>What am I doing here?, she asked herself. Oh my God, did I black out ...
Teri sighed and basked in the suns warm rays.<br>"Ah.....sun....warmth.....no rain! God I've missed this place."<br>Ignoring Alex and Kat's muttering about...

Alex relaxed in the back, liking the chance to stretch his legs a bit.<br><br>"Ah, thank God for air-conditioning. Thought my brain was going to fry in this...
Teri sighed, and stroked Midnight, who had curled up in her lap.<br>They would be coming up to the casino in a few minutes. Which was good. Something to break...
Lorelei watched the scenery on the Strip slowly dance by. She had done a couple of shows here with Brimstone Passions and ended a leg of her first solo tour in...
He saw Lorelei watching him out of the corner of his eye.<br><br>He wondered what was going through her mind. Is she re-living horrors or screwing her courage...
