[Demons of NC] Chapter 74
The Badlands stretched out around us. I could feel the hunger for battle simmering inside me—the need to drown out Michiko’s words in the roar of gunfire. But her voice still echoed in my head as I strapped on my gear inside the trailer.She’d figured out my involvement in Abernathy’s death. ...

Sometimes, I really felt like a failure of a cat."Tora-chan, are you a spy-cat?" Ino asked for the thirtiethtime, still trying to wrap her head around it. I nodded."We’re not supposed to expose you?""You’re on a mission?"Kiba and Naruto fired off their questions one after...

I didn’t rush to the headmaster’s office, hoping that by the time I got there, Dumbledore would have already wrung the details out of Hermione and Harry. I needed time to think, to figure out how to spin things the right way. I’d been caught up in too many shady incidents lately, and the last ...

Excitement.Lately, this feeling had firmly settled within Melina. Though it was important to recognize that excitement came in different shades: excitement born of joy or fear. Excitement tinged with resentment. Excitement born from… from…The girl adjusted her hood, lowering her head.Excitement ...

Fisk paced around her office, irritation rolling off her in waves. The conversation with Mysterio… yeah… calling that screaming match a “conversation” would be a fucking stretch. So much had been fucked up. A massive, inexcusablefailure. And no, it wasn’t just about the “cargo” those i...

I felt like a tadpole yanked from its pond and thrown onto a scorching-hot frying pan. That sensation hit me for a split second before I managed to pull myself together.Besides, Michiko kept talking, almost like she was giving me time to think."Your former driver and bodyguard, Lucas Costa, regu...

Hermione and Harry exchanged a quick glance."I got back to the common room and you weren’t there," Harry started. "So I checked the Map."Bloody hell. The Map!I mentally kicked myself. I'd completely forgotten about it. This is how big plans fall apart—little things slip throu...

Hinata tried to slip past her cousin with me still in her arms, but Neji frowned and blocked the way."Why do you have the daimyo’s cat?" His interrogation continued, eyes narrowing. "I am sure that’s him, I can feel his chakra."Yeah, so much for playing dumb."Nii-san…" ...

This was exhausting, I thought, slumped in the waiting room of the hospital where they had taken Mom Betty.Judy and G were beside me, the three of us looking like a picture-perfect display of gloom. My little sister’s eyes were red-rimmed, barely holding back fresh tears. The doctors had assured u...

Just like their previous encounter, the hunter of the undead was grim. He clearly wasn’t thrilled about being intercepted by the strange woman, who had arranged a meeting with an even stranger bearer of two—no, now three—Great Runes.Had anyone else sought his audience, he likely would have ref...

“No chance at all?” I asked from the passenger seat.“None,” Panam answered, irritation creeping into her voice. “If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have even bothered asking. Aldecaldos have new rules now—no hitting corps, just kissing their ass. For some reason, Saul decided that’ll fi...

On Christmas morning, I was jolted awake by an excited, almost giddy Harry."Ron! Ron, wake up!" He shook my shoulder enthusiastically. "Look what I got!"I groggily turned over and immediately sat up straight. On his bed, unwrapped and gleaming, lay a brand-new broomstick.The Firebolt...

Why do I have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme playing in my head? Oh, right. Probably because the second Iruka left, Naruto got swarmed by his gang of kiddie ninjas."So, what did Iruka want?" Sasuke asked, arms crossed."He told me to scrub the paw prints off the Academy walls,"...

No matter how much Konstantin wanted to make the red-haired waifu a little happier by fetching the prosthetic she needed from the depths of the Lands Between, something else gnawed at him: the crumbling Stormveil. If it had been empty, he honestly wouldn’t have cared.But that place wasn’t just h...

We stepped out of the building to the sound of a shootout dying down in the neighboring house. Huh. That was quick. Then again… they’re just thugs. What else would you expect? Without hostages or a super on their side, what could they possibly do against a well-trained SWAT team?Oh, never mind. ...

"Do you hang out with the mayor often?" I asked as Angie and I stepped into a private room inside that same underground club.The place was dimly lit, the air thick with some kind of vanilla-scented haze."Hang out?" she raised an eyebrow. "Never. I just handle business. Rhyne does...

Winter passed unusually fast. A month and a half since “Mission: Impossible” flew by in a blur of snow, rain, blooming plum trees, and other seasonal shifts. Surveillance on Sauron’s Lair—otherwise known as the Hokage’s residence—confirmed that Konohamaru never fessed up about misplacing...
