《Pride and Ashes: A werewolf Story》Chapter 33: In which I Rise
Advertisement
Just like moons,
Just like suns,
With the Certainty of tides.
Just like hopes
Springing high.
Still I'll rise.
~Maya Angelou
I woke with a start.
It was dark outside and I heard shuffling and the sound of something sniffing behind the door.
"Is she behind there?"
There was a low whining sound, and a scratch on the door. I knew from the smell it was a wolf and another person.
I was to numb though to register who.
It didn't work, I thought through the thick cloud.
The solution didn't work.
I did not know what was going on or why I could not move my body. I felt my eyelids able to open and close and my eyes could roam the room and look- but I could not move.
I couldn't feel my body.
Like there was nothing attached to me but my soul and mind.
There was a loud banging on the door as swearing issued forth, "damn it's locked."
A few minutes later I heard a loud clicking noise and the sound of two people walking in.
"Fayette!"
My eyes flickered up and saw Jasmine and Yasmine.
Yasmine rushed forward, her hands hovering over me in worry.
"What's wrong! Fayette?"
Jasmine looked around the room before walking towards us, "she needs medical attention," she whispered to her sister as she looked down at me, "I'm not sure if we can move her though."
Tentatively Jasmine started to poke at various places around my body. She glanced at me, telling me to whine or yelp if I hurt anywhere.
I could not tell her that I didn't even feel her hands.
"I think we can carry her," Jasmine said, urgency now in her voice, "We'll have to both do it."

"Why can't we call someone here?" Yasmine said.
"Look around Yasmine," Jasmine hissed, "This is her secret- this is where she's been going to all these weekends. She doesn't want anyone to know. There is a reason for that. We need to hurry and lift her."
Both of the girls struggled to pick up my wolf. I hung limply in their arms.
"What's wrong with her?" Yasmine said, fear clear in her voice.
Jasmine bent down, letting Yasmine struggle alone with my weight. She looked through my bag with urgency before pulling out my small bag of Agravain. Giving the contents inside a small sniff, Jasmine quickly pulled back and gagged.
"It's Agravain. I've been exposed. We need to get to medical. She's been poisoned, and now I've been also."
Jasmine sealed the bag away and placed it back in my bag.
She helped grab some of my weight from her sister as they both rushed me out.
Yasmine let go and quickly locked the door behind her.
"Let's go," she said.
The science building was far off from campus, and I could hear their strained breaths as they struggled to carry me.
They were already strong from their werewolf genes and training, but carrying a full grown wolf, who was completely limp and holding none of her weight was something else.
Finally we reached the medical wing.
"Help!" Yasmine yelled.
The night staff rushed forward and assessed the situation.
Several people quickly pulled a rolling bed and urged the twins to set me down on it.
"We found her- I think she's been poisoned to Agravain and left without treatment for a long time."
Yasmine spoke up, "there was some poison left on her and my sister was exposed, please help her also."

The staff nodded and one man stepped forward and took Jasmine aside.
The medical team on me quickly checked my vitals, "Why is she in her wolf?"
"These tests are showing it's been in her system for almost six hours- that's impossible."
"She should be dead."
I felt a drum of pleasure in my mind. My experiment had result in small success.
They pricked me, shooting me up with something that made my eyes drop and lose focus. I felt the world turn black once again as they rushed me down a hallway.
LOOVVEEE YOU.
Thanks for reading,
Until next time *wink*
loves,

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.

Intercessor
"In my defense, I hadn't actually been trying to get hit by a truck." Artemis wakes up alone in a giant futuristic facility with no hint of where she is, how she got here, or what this means. Yet within two weeks, she is shot at with all the guns, a voice is beginning to speak in her head, and she is tormented by a seemingly sentient and possibly trollish space Roomba. Her only hope is Scarlet, another girl who is a complete stranger and almost shot her in the head. Oh, and she has fox ears and a tail. That is possibly worth mentioning. Artemis is not a nerd. She has never heard of the isekai genre, she can't fight worth a damn, and the blue-collar skills she learned at her community college are absolutely useless in a universe where technology is often indistinguishable from magic. She only has one thing going for her: A mysterious ability to interface with highly advanced technology left behind by the Antecessors, the long lost precursor civilization with technology that no one has been able to adequately replicate. Finding herself in a universe where civilizations are locked in an interstellar Cold War, where societies are so stratified that the aristocracy commands fleets of starships while slaves wash clothes with their hands, Artemis decides to run away from it all. She has a ship. She'll find a crew. She'll find a way to make a living at the fringes of civilization, learn how to cope with danger, and survive the affections of a universe where everyone is a cute girl with animal ears and tails. Welcome to Intercessor. AKA Kemonomimi Yuri Space Fantasy. Commissioned by Shaderic. Please leave your sense of shame at the door.
