afraid your behavior calls for
severe punishment. The council has agreed to strip your powers starting now.
You will live your life as a mortal among mortals. I hope you will learn from
your mistakes.”
Leola waved her
hand. Vapors flooded from Kahn. He suddenly grabbed onto the table for
support and looked at his mother.
“This isn’t
fair!”
“You know it
is,” Leola replied then vanished.
Helsing smiled
and pulled Reggie into his arms.
Dylan glared at
them. “Can we go home now?” he demanded.
“Yes, I’d like
to see our mortal home,” Helsing announced cheerfully.
Chrissy and
Begley approached them while barely able to control their grins. Chrissy
hugged Reggie. “I can’t thank you enough for setting us free.”
“From both of
us,” Begley added.
“When you’re
ready to leave, meet the others on the beach,” Reggie said then smiled. “Be
happy.” She turned to Dylan and Helsing. “This should be an interesting trip
with me driving.”
Dylan smirked
at Kahn in his weakened condition and gave him the finger. Reggie waved her
hand and all three vanished.
Kahn frowned
with disgust. “It’s not over; not by a long shot.”
He turned and
nearly collided with Chrissy. Kahn gave her a stern, dirty look. “My powers
will eventually be restored.”
Begley proudly
appeared behind Chrissy and placed his arm around her shoulder. He gave her a
reassuring squeeze, kissed her on the cheek, and walked away from her. Chrissy
stood proudly before Kahn and smiled as if the world was lifted from her
shoulders.
“I never
thought this day would come, Kahn, but I’m glad this relationship can finally
be terminated,” she announced and sighed deeply. “I hope there are no hard
feelings.” Chrissy smiled sweetly and revealed the golden dagger in her hand
by her side.
Kahn appeared
horrified and let out a startled gasp. She thrust the dagger upward into his
abdomen without emotion. He suddenly cried out with pain, clutched the golden
dagger as she released it, and stared into Chrissy’s expressionless eyes.
Begley and Chrissy watched with no reaction as Kahn collapsed to the floor.
She turned to Begley and offered a tiny, pleased smile. Begley took her hand
in his, suavely kissed it, and returned the smile.
“Now that
you’re officially a widow, can I call you?”
She sank into
his arms and clung to him.

When

former war hero to save their small town.
Jetta
Cross, a Navy Admiral’s daughter, is tasked with keeping her father’s comrade,
a former war hero turned town crazy, grounded in the real world. Capt. John
Hunter is still fighting the war in his head, where imaginary dead people are
part of his world. When a viral outbreak brings about a zombie uprising, Hunter
is left to his own devices. He must resume his role as a one-man commando unit
in order to destroy the ravenous undead. With Hunter still fighting his own
inner demons as well as the undead, the townspeople fear their zombie neighbors
may not be the only threat. Stranded at the island’s luxurious resort with a
handful of workers, Jetta is forced to live up to her father’s reputation and
take charge of the deteriorating situation at the hotel. She must wage her own
war against the infected before the government declares her hometown a total
loss.
“Deadly Institution”
A
town recluse suspected of killing his wife teams up with a young woman in order
to stop a killer.
After
being accused of murdering his wife, Konrad Asher turns his back on the town

of the most feared man in town. With the reopening of the burned mental
