"We have found something. Alex was very thorough in securing the details of his mission, but I think we have found a clue to his whereabouts." Garrett frantically flips through the manuscript, pages torn and bent, until he reaches page thirty-four of the manuscript. "It reads, ‘It seems they may have slipped up in their quest to hide their secret. I found an article from a small-time magazine written about two years ago regarding a new student who has overcome great obstacles. These small towns are so damn cliché, but what do you expect? It appears this student was part of a hostage situation at a bank and miraculously dodged a shot to the head. This site also appears to be a dead zone. While my phone and laptop work just fine, my transmitters have been failing. I'm not yet sure how they have managed this. I leave tomorrow.’'" Garrett looks up, smiling.
"Avoiding a bullet wound is not exactly too difficult a task, even for a mere human," Vincent says.
"I haven't finished the entry. It seems this girl, after dodging the bullet, successfully disarmed the man in one motion. He proceeds to pull a knife on her. He was then forced to the ground by some men. When asked to go to the hospital to nurse the wounds her adopted parents refused the medical attention, saying it was against their religious beliefs."
"Hm. Interesting. Could this be our Analise? We may have finally found our blessed Analise. Find out where this article was written. We will have someone leave tomorrow to gather information regarding her status. We will take care of Alex in time. We will wait to see where his allegiance lies before we intercede. Keep a distance; we cannot risk getting too close just yet." Vincent says.

"I've been there.” Their eyes widen and the room is silent. Only the scurrying men below can be heard. “This morning. Here." Garrett hands the picture to Vincent. "It looks like her right? That's her." He points and smiles as he knows he is the one who has finally found her.
Vincent reviews the photo and his lips turn up to a sinful smile. His black eyes look to Garrett. "That's our sweet Analise.” He looks back to the photo and caresses his thumb over her body. “We have finally found you. And so close, too." He cuts his eyes back to Garrett. "Check her wrists for the markings. We still need to be sure."

The Solstice Wars
In the grey-cloaked cityscape of modern London, student William Whiteswift has two secrets: the Fae walk among humanity, and they are just as vulnerable as us. His childhood was filled with them; they spawned nightmares and episodes, dreams and obsessions. The nightmares remain, of course, but the fae are his normal. Now, he heals them, for William is gifted. When he saves a faerie -- a humanoid fae -- from an injury he can’t explain, William is forced to let her stay. Finally, he may have taken on more than he can handle; Ainsel could uproot his life in seconds. Instead, she cracks a Pandora’s box of mysteries: someone just flipped her home on its head. And because of that, she did something unspeakable. And somehow, she doesn’t want to hurt him. The longer she stays, though, the crueler his nightmares grow. Worse, governments hide secrets, too: they know of faeries. To them, all fae are monsters fueled by solstices and equinoxes. As the autumn equinox approaches, the culling agency COURT hurries to track Ainsel down. With teams across the United Kingdom and Ireland -- iron-strong despite the region’s history -- they are nearing success. A world away, their country wounded, the faerie leaders hunger for justice. In the looming shadows of war and of Ainsel’s mistake, can a human and a faerie protect each other against their own kind? Could their plight mend rifts between bitter nations and bitterer people? Or will it, like past attempts at peace, shatter? Quick note! I hope you all enjoy the Irish (Irish Gaelic) words here and there! All are defined or explained within the text. This is my chance to show off speaking it at least somewhat decently. Still learning. ;D -K

Life in the New World
On the Hiatus: I began writing this novel when I was, in all honesty, very bad at writing. I hope to revisit creative writing in the near future and I plan to, at some point in time, revisit this. I am flattered that many people have taken the time to read this story, but it is not what I intend to start with, as it will likely need a hard rewrite in order to correct many of the more glaring issues it has. Join our hero and follow his exciting adventure through a newly changed world! WARNING their will be violence, profanity,, and gore in this fiction. if any of these make you uncomfortable this is not a story for you turn around and walk away now!!!
