Chapter 9

“But I ended up in hospital, mum! And…and Dr. Maggie had to bring in a nut doctor to see me! Dr. Karen is real nice, though” Drew mused.

“You and dad had to fly all the way over here to get me. I’m so happy you came, but if I hadn’t messed up, you wouldn’t have to be here. I feel really bad about making you have to fly mum.”

Story under construction...

Meet the Lowe brothers. Stan and Lewis Lowe. They are both seventeen and a half years old. And they seem to have both their lives on track.

They are both well mannered, polite teenagers. They both get along with each other. They both have friends.

They are both super-geniuses. They are both also in great shape. With them physical strength and abilities matching their intelligence.

They are in a high school that they like.

Both are well like by both the other students, and their piers.

They are making good grades. And they are both on college career paths for bigger and better things.

Stan's path is advancing in sports. And Lewis' path is math and the sciences.

Unfortunately, these two brothers are a pair of super-geniuses without a clue, of what is really going on.

And old family secrets, than the two brothers do not know about, are about to come back to haunt them.

To add to their problems, they do not know any real combat skills. And so, they will need very bit of wits, knowledge, and talents, to survive the adventure ahead of them.

Garia and Eriana move out of the palace to make room for all the expected distinguished guests. On their return for lunch there are dispatches from the war to read before the first visitors arrive, which include an unexpected guest who has news of a different kind.

Glossary for AF: “The Bodyguard”

This is intended as a stand alone document to support Altered Fates: "The Bodyguard." I was advised to create this document due to the length and complexity of "The Bodyguard" to prevent readers from getting lost in the possibly unfamilair names, terms, and places I used in the story.

This is a very short teaser to see if people want more of this story. If you do please comment and let me know.

Jenny and I were talking at school. I was telling her tales of the Grand Hall of Crystalis. She was lapping it up. She loved my stories. I was fond of telling them and always had a never ending notebook of them. She would ask questions and I would have answers ready for all of them.

Chapter 6

Maggie turned to Karen. “Would you like to wait until Drew wakes up and talk to him a bit this evening, or would you like to wait until tomorrow? I'm going to go in and sit with him until he wakes – he's met me before, and I already knew his secret, so he should feel safe with me.”

Chapter 4

Dr. Maggie sat at her desk massaging her temples. It had been a very long day, but at least she was coming up on the last of the interviews of those that were here in Grottoes. She had saved Maddy's interview until last. It had become apparent through all of the other interviews that everyone had their own agenda for making Drew over into Gaby, and all of them in her mind were simply a load of meadow muffins. And in her discussion with Jocelyn, the suggestion of those involved being made to do the same thing as a punishment had come up. Maggie was of two minds about that. While it would be an appropriate punishment, at least certainly in the case of Brit and Deb, she was not confident that it could be done without incurring psychological damage in those being punished.

"Fred, I think we're lost." Almost as soon as Margie van Arndt said it, she was sorry. Most men won't admit that they'd messed up directions or misread a map, but Fred, well....

"I'm not lost," he said through clenched teeth. "This road is just the long way to Wheaton. It's such a nice day that I thought I'd --"

Yet another TG Storytime immigrant. Eventually, I'll be posting original stuff here, don't worry. This one came from a dream, but the dream was significantly more graphic, involving rape/murder and other such themes. As it stands, there's still murder in this story, at least implied (I can't remember if I actually showed the murders or not, it's been awhile and I'm tired as I post this here). If you like ghostly possession, this story is for you.
