Invitations I stared up at Middle Lakes Secondary, a knot of worry settling in my stomach as I considered another year of school stuck there. Not for the first time, I wished I'd stayed at home in bed. Only the thought of seeing my best friend for the first time after eight long weeks of being separated mov...[Read Full Post] Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:56:20 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/655381 2. Shopping Riley always walked my home from school, even when he didn't want to. This was one of those days. We walked in silence, which was unusual for us. He was still annoyed at me for accepting Amanda's invitation on his behalf. His silence didn't upset me, mainly it was just irritating. I wasn't about to speak first though;...[Read Full Post] Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:46:05 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/655382 3. Introductions I sat at my kitchen table, my knees bouncing agitatedly under my clasped hands--a once-forgotten nervous habit. For the first time in my life, I was about to go out in public wearing an item of clothing with the express purpose of looking good. Ever since I'd bought the dress, more and more doubts had been budding in my mind, li...[Read Full Post] Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:46:27 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/655383 4. Teeth Whenever I saw Malachi after that day he'd catch my eye, wearing that same smile he'd had at the party. I started avoiding going places I knew he'd be, and Riley was more than happy to keep as much distance from him as possible. My dislike for Malachi seemed to grow each day, until it was an ugly mass that kept me awake at ni...[Read Full Post] Mon, 13 Jul 2009 05:03:44 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/655384 5. Revelations I stood in the doorway of my bedroom, staring at the walls I'd grown up in and wondering when I'd see them next. I fought back the urge to collapse into my bed and crawl under the doona, turning instead to my wardrobe. I pulled clothes from my drawers without looking at them and shoved them into a random sports bag, my mind wa...[Read Full Post] Mon, 13 Jul 2009 05:02:51 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/655406 6. Mistakes The car trip was long and uncomfortable. I tried to concentrate on the landscape flashing by my window, but as soon as we got outside the town limits, it turned into the relentlessly monotonous countryside -- nothing but grass and livestock. As hard as I tried not to think about it, my mind kept returning to what Riley had told me ear...[Read Full Post] Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:45:49 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/655410 7. News I woke the next morning and kept my eyes squeezed shut, willing everything that had happened the previous day to all have been a bad dream. My pretending was ruined through, when I felt Riley's steady breath on the back of my neck. I curled into his side, feeling utterly safe, wishing I could stay there forever. I no longer felt afra...[Read Full Post] Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:15:11 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/658759 8. Oraculum I stood inside the entrance hallway, trying to keep my mouth from falling open as I took in the room around me. Shining hardwood floors stretched in front of us to two magnificent white staircases that spiralled in opposite directions. Huge vases full of exotic looking flowers were spread around the room...[Read Full Post] Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:07:00 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/663575 9. Sam I trailed behind Riley and Alex as they led me through yet another section of what seemed to be the endless interior of the building. I stared at my feet as I walked, unwilling to look at my surroundings in case I happened to see anything truly fantastical that might dislodge my already shaky grip on what almost passe...[Read Full Post] Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:40:44 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/667557 10. Reservations Riley was waiting for us outside Sam's room, his expression taut. I would have asked him what was wrong, but I was too wrapped up in my own melancholy over meeting Sam. Nathaniel and Ebony headed off in the opposite direction to the one we'd come in, waving a quick goodbye to us before they went. I was sad to see them g...[Read Full Post] Sun, 15 Nov 2009 05:08:54 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/671682 11. Sunlight Over the next few days, my life began to settle into a monotonous routine. Each day, I'd spend every waking moment in the company of Riley, Aaron or Sam. I couldn't even walk myself to the bathroom in the mornings without an escort. By the fifth day, I was fed up. "We're going outside tod...[Read Full Post] Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:29:50 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676230 12. Munitions My stomach somersaulted as we walked towards Caleb's study, each footstep that slapped against the hardwood floor resounding in my ears. I knew that I should be afraid of what Caleb might say or do, but all I could think about was the chance that he might be summoning us to tell Riley that it was tim...[Read Full Post] Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:08:44 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/679799 13. Confrontations As soon as Riley had shut the door to my room, my hands went straight to the duffel bag under my bed, pulling clothes and books out and piling them onto the floor. After only a few seconds of searching, I found what I was looking for. I popped the small tin open, my free hand reaching for my wallet. It was empty. The rage...[Read Full Post] Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:16:02 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/699210 Hi, everybody. I know it's been a really, really, really long time since Rebekah was last updated, and for that I'm truly sorry. I just want to say to everyone that your continued support and emails have been fantastic, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate those of you who are still coming back and checking to see whether I've upd...[Read Full Post] Sun, 19 Jun 2011 10:43:39 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/726567
