These three chapters are a little longer than ideal but the next chapter is about the same size as these three but it seems like a logical place to pause. Atalanta meets fellow Poe residents, her first meal in Crystal Hall where she exchanges greetings with a bully. Mrs. Carson flexes her authority and accuses her of being an artist. Her testing results are mixed and unpredictable. I hope you all enjoy these chapters.

I’d been seeing this girl for a few months now, and everything was going well. We had fun; it was too early to be serious. She had come to pick a friend up at work one day and while waiting I’d shown her round the office and introduced her to my work mates. Things developed from there. She worked in IT and was a little nerdy, with a librarian kind of frumpy look mixed with a penchant for pastel colours. Lots of cardies, glasses on a chain, etc. Her looks would never have led you to believe that she was really mischievous, but mischief appears to have been her raison d’etre.

Author’s Note: This story introduces a continuing character of mine, the White Witch Elizabeth Lange. Yes, this is an old story of mine, but in light of recent news events, I thought that it was appropriate to post it. I’m also adding a small bit from a second Elizabeth Lange story, in which she discusses the fate of the transformee in this story.

Lee has made it into a fortress, run by a man that make those after him think twice to come following Lee into.

A man whom Lee is doing everything in his power to stay on his good side.

At this point, Lee would think that his troubles would start to wane.

Unfortunately, Lee would be incorrect. And Lee problems merely doubled. For nor only a siege on one end of the fortress for Lee. But, also a siege, on the other end of the fortress, whom is after the man Lee is with. And once Lee realizes who is after the man, that those individuals would not think twice about killing Lee.

And to make matters worse, Lee means of escape is going to take time to prepare. With him taking the man with him.

So, if Lee want him, and the man helping him, to get out of this situation alive, and in one piece, Lee has to play a dangerous game, where he will have to shuffle the sieges against each other. In The Siege Shuffle.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the posh English accent announced over the airplane’s tannoy, "I'd like to thank you for flying Soixante-Trois airlines, and on behalf of the company, I'd like to wish you all a safe stay in Paris and a very Merry Christmas!"

Just Like Every Child Needs to Find a Place

A successful woman is convinced a female lead marriage is the best path forward and as her career is taking off, her unemployed husband is expected to fill traditional female roles like homemaker and nursing mother. In this chapter… Julia gives Eric a “reward” as she takes control in the bedroom. (Mature Audience Only Please)

In this story, we see what happens after the Bouncer punishes. Just because the transformation may be painless, doesn't mean that the punishment will be as well.
