Chalet of Bloody Corpses
The five hikers had stopped for some quick skinny dipping. Helga had started it, claiming to have forgotten her swimsuit, but Chad had given the idea wings as he stripped down. He hit Charlie with his underpants, challenging the normally shy young man into the water as the more adventurous boy dove into the water. Helga grinned as Charlie quickly stripped and swam out to Chad, while Melissa stayed on shore. Thomas, always a victim of peer pressure, joined the other three. Melissa took some cajoling, but she eventually gave in, putting her cowboy hat on her clothes before diving in.

Lost & Found
Charlie swam toward shore. He got out and dried off, taking his time in the glorious summer sun. He arched his back and tossed the towel down. He dressed and sat down next to his laptop. He sipped from his water holder, and then picked up the laptop and started typing. It was a struggle to start but he was soon in the zone.

Just Another Thursday
The blood from the lamb’s cut throat flowed down Boyd’s hand. He tossed the lamb into the waterfall and walked back to his campfire. May as well tune the fiddle while I wait, he thought as he pulled out the fiddle that had been in his family for generations.

Demon of the Dispensary
DEA Agent Elizabeth Derring strode carefully through the dispensary, seeing everything through the sights of her Glock 19. Her team had timed the raid perfectly; there were only a couple of employees in the building. The raid had gone well until about five minutes ago, when she had lost contact with the other three members of her team. She had tried to retreat but had gotten lost.

The Vampire's Guide to Investing
Too many fresh kindred forget that being turned is just the beginning. They usually have no long-range plans beyond “serve the sire until he gets bored of you and then figure it out”; these neonates either get themselves killed serving their sire or become a meal for one of their elders. Therefore, these neonates need to create some sort of investment plan for their futures. Such a plan is not hard to set up.

Chapter 4: Hallowed Grounds. Content Warning.
January 17, 2598 | 4:58 a.m. Wednesday early morning Maidwick Woods, a section of the country that Andromeda Morganite has no sway over. Though she has attempted several times to take control of it. Just not recently from what I can see. There is not too much known about the woods, except it can and is often used as a safe haven for those who cannot find anywhere safe to go. That's a comforting thought. Plus, if it is where the quartet is hiding, that would make things easier. To put it elegantly, Maidwick is the biggest lead we've had in weeks. It all started with Mors remembering the words of a mad man. Except I do not think Valo is a mad man in the literal sense. I have my suspicions on whether or not Valo being captured was part of the plan all along. Between the traveling, research, talking, and resting between, I got to think long and hard about what Mors had stated alongside the what I found in the articles. Something wasn't adding up. These four were smart enough to know it was a trap. I realize that it could be a case that they wanted to save the bait, as it were. However, what if there is more to it? I find it hard to believe that Valo didn't know what Sorina is. In fact, I would be surprised if she hadn't told Noe and Lorcan as well. She was never one to hide that part of her with people she trusted. She was utterly too trusting. Then again, so was I once upon a time. That has changed. For her though? It could have been an asset. I have no solid proof, yet. However, it is possible that they planned a counter. What is better than capturing your enemy? Making them think you have been beaten. Using Sorina, they could easily have someone act as a dead body to be carried into the building. Valo being captured would give them another option of gathering intel on Morganite's organization. Of course the wounds would have not completely been part of the plan, but it might have been welcomed to really bring everything together. To make it seem as if their counter wasn't planned. Telling Mors about Maidwick would have been a tactic of gathering a formidable ally. Him having an invite is a good thing. Meaning they at least want to open up a conversation. Let's hope they are willing to speak with me as well. I am putting a lot of faith in Sorina's memory of me being her friend. That could backfire on me somehow. We will see in due time. The last time I wrote in this journal was eleven days ago. It is amazing how fast time can slip by when you are planning and researching to assist the future of mankind. Granted, it isn't all that had transpired. No. There is much more. In fact Mors is officially living in my apartment with Orion and Damaris Blackwell's blessing. Though I think they may start making me pay rent. For a while they said that payment in the form of protection was enough. I fear I am officially pushing my luck.
