Borrowed Time ~ Chapter 5 Finally home after a very emotional day, Jesse piled up on the couch in her pajamas. Logan sat down beside her, pulling off his boots. It had been a long day for both of them. She grinned as he made a big deal out of getting comfy, stretching out and laying his head in her lap. He grazed her cheek with the back of his hand, which she caught, lacing her fingers thru his. "Tell me your grandfather's dream about the wolverine." Jesse sighed.

It pained him, for Charlie had always done his best for his only child. Now a man who couldn't cope was fathering his granddaughter, Jesse, the one he called Brighter Than A Thousand Suns. The Iroquois elder pulled his pipe off its hook on the wall and headed for

Goin' Home ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Lem'me in! Lem'me in, lem'me in, lem'me IN!" Bare spryte feet kicked and tiny hands pummeled at a mysteriously unseen barrier that separated her from her one and only friend. Invisible, but strong, Tria had been attacking this obstruction for hours, trying by every means possible to penetrate its depths. Illuminated by sporadic lightening flashes, the magical creature's appearance would have shocked any that knew her. Hair at all angles, wings tattered and beating hard against an unfriendly headwind, Tria looked nothing like the carefree spryte who spent most of her time at Hogwarts School, securely shelter
