Jenna stared down at the baby suckling at her breast. A weary smile curved her pale lips, a mixture of pride and love and exhaustion all jumbled together as she felt the gentle tug of her child nursing hungrily.
But as she watched him, darker emotions cracked through the haze fogging her brain. Confusion. Terror. Memory broke through, but too late. She'd never had a baby, never even been pregnant.
Weak, Jenna melted back into the rocking chair. She cringed as the child's teeth sank deeper into her skin, draining more than mother's milk.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Persephone's Porch
"Circe, for Chrissakes, put Cerberus on his leash to keep him off the porch. I don't need him dragging three sets of drooling jowls across it when the nymphs just cleaned." Persephone pulled her blonde hair back and tied it in a loose knot to keep it off her face. "I can't believe Hermes is bringing the whole famdamnily."
