《Vampire's Betrayal》Chapter Four
Advertisement
I looked at David in complete disbelief, "So you are just going to let it go?"
David hung his head in shame, "There isn't anything we can do. Boss out ranks us all."
"Bullshit!" I yelled. Scaring Jake next to me, "You can at least try. At least explain all that is going on and announce all that you discovered. Someone has to believe you."
Ricky looked guiltily at me, "I'm sorry, Leah. But our hands are tied."
I couldn't believe what he was saying. All this time I was constantly told how Ricky was the prince of the family. How he was their leader, but he couldn't punish one traitor because they outranked him? It made no sense. Ricky should outrank Boss, not the other way around.
Looking at Ricky with a serious look, I asked, "Are you scared to lead the family? Is that why you won't do it? Is that why you won't punish Boss for betraying the family?"
Knowing fully well that I pretty much just hurt Ricky's feelings, I turned and left before hearing what he had to see. I didn't even stick around to see his reaction. But I could feel David's glare as I walked away. There was no doubting that I was going to hear about my rudeness later.
I sat on the couch in my room while the twins slept. My eyes stared at nothing as I waited for someone to storm into my room. Ready to scold me for how I had treated Ricky. But no one came. It was probably for the best. At this moment in time, I wasn't ready to face anyone to begin with.
But as I continued to sit on the couch, the more my mind kept thinking about how they weren't even going to confront Boss. How they weren't going to punish him for causing this mess that didn't even need to start in the first place. It still puzzled me that someone could be so greedy for power that they would make their own family suffer. It just amazed me that there were actually people capable of doing such a thing.

The thought refused to leave my head, never leaving me alone. It was almost maddening. It got so bad to the point I asked Ashley to come over to my place so I could face the problem head on. If no one was going to face him, I will just have to do it myself.

Duck Around and Find Out
Flap never wanted to be anything more than a pond duck. He was perfectly happy with his life of mating, migrating, and eating fish. But all that changed when a spacefaring race of war-crazed giant chickens confused him for Earth's greatest gladiator, all on account of a sketchy lease deal from a few million years prior. Now Flap is Earth's Champion, unwittingly wrapped up in a high stakes conflict almost as old as time itself. Armed with a real dumbass of an artificial intelligence, a brain full of pop culture mush, and a hybrid body courtesy of an Academy Award-winning actor, Flap now has all the tools he needs to prevail in the bloody contest. The only question is whether he can learn to use them to save the Galaxy before his implant drives him nuts.

The Eye in the Sky
People have always thought that the undead would come from hell - that they would rise from their graves to bring their torments upon the earth. They never thought that they would come from the heavens instead and rain upon the world like divine judgment. Ten years had passed since that day. Evan had thought that he had seen all there is to see. What remained of civilized society couldn't recover. Millions of zombies wandered in every city, and thousands more roam the countryside. Every day was a struggle to survive just as it had always been. He, as well as most of the survivors that remained on earth, had resigned themselves to a life of wandering until their deaths. Their last hope was news of an underground settlement being constructed to the far west, outside the eyes of the wandering and falling undead. But then they encounter a girl who had survived in the middle of a heavily-infested city. She claims that she knows of a way to end the apocalypse once and for all. What should he and his group do?
