Two Hundred Thirty Nine

If I have to cling to the same place for a long time, I fear the vines will not hold. When I am certain there is no one hanging out the window, I begin creeping down again. I hear Tanner doing the same. We dare not speak. Barely above the surf I can hear Victor shouting within, but soon it fades from hearing.

We get to where the outer wall reaches to meet us; I hesitate, wondering how to proceed when Tanner flings himself from the vines and lands with a gasp against the top of the wall, pulling himself over with a quiet groan.

I smile, brace myself against the wall, then leap and twist, just barely landing on my feet. I throw Tanner I triumphant grin before crouching and sliding down so I can drop to the sea grass below.

"We mustn't tarry," murmurs Tanner, and hurries off into the darkness.

Ice Storm

Of course. Chapter Tuesday.

Sigh.

I'm back

A week late, I know. But it has been horrible getting back into the groove of things, and I have been quite busy. But yeah, let's get this show on the road. I will definitely try and get a brand spanking new chapter up by Friday.

Hey, it's Christmas. A time for miracles.

Hiatus Update

Due to issues that have arisen, I need to put the story on hold until December. There's nothing I can do about it at this point, I am going to be away from the internet for quite some time, and when I get back to it, I will still be insanely busy. Then NaNo starts. So instead of promising sporadic updates I may or may not be able to keep up with, I'm just putting the story on hold until December 5th. The story will resume that weekend, if not that day.

Sorry about this, but it's unavoidable.

I will be back. I have to get Zaph down sometime.

Update

I seem to be getting a chapter out on Fridays pretty regularly, so that's what I'm going to stay with for now. Hopefully updates will be steady until November.
