    "All seems to be in order. Consider yourself formally discharged Ms. Scanler. Make sure not to miss your check-up appointment at the beginning of next month." The receptionist spoke without even pausing on the 'Ms.' causing Alice to flinch.    It had been a month and a half of grueling physical therapy and catching up on studies so as to not be held back a grade for the newly minted woman, but at least she was finally getting to go home. She currently had to walk with a crutch and would to continue to do so for the remainder of the summer but again; she was free. She hobbled out of the hospital through its automatic doors where Maria st

Lucas clenched his fists in an attempt to restrain his fury. "Who the hell are you and where's Alex!?" Alex opened her mouth to speak but could only make out a hacking cough, the transformation having utterly exhausted the little energy within her. Lyra laid a comforting hand on Alex's shoulder, "I'll explain it to them." She turned towards Lucas and Maria. "Well Lucas, both of those questions can be answered quite easily. Where is Alex and who is this girl? Alex is right here because he is this girl." Lucas folded his arms across his chest. "What kind of joke is this? You expect me to believe that this chick is Alex? That's impossible, yo

Sunlight filtered through the patchwork thatch hut falling onto my eyelids. I subconsciously try to bat away the light and roll over onto my side to fall back into sleep's sweet embrace, but found myself denied as the door was flung open flooding the light completely onto my heavy eyelids. "Isaac, we gotta get moving." I slightly opened my eyes to squint at Claire's silhouette standing between me and the bright irritating rays. "Can't I sleep just a bit longer?" I whined. "I'd like nothing more to lie down and sleep as well, but we need to ensure Dr. Boise and Jerry get a proper burial then see about finding a source of fresh water." I si

The calls of gulls and the lapping of ocean waves fill my ears. I try to move but my muscles are so stiffened that all I manage is a groan. I feel something coarse and grainy underneath me, it sticks to my skin in individual pieces. Sand? I worked up the energy to open my eyes and get a grasp of my surroundings. I was definitely on a beach, tropical by the looks of it. I grunted as I sat up and looked out towards the ocean, wrapping my arms around my legs as I tried to remember what happened. I was on a research expedition with some marine biologists to try and garner information on the mating habits of whale sharks when a storm hit and the b

"Check again! It's impossible! He can't have it!" Lucas shouted at a balding man in a white coat. They were in a hospital room. Alex lay unconscious on a cot, his breath shallow and ragged with a machine monitoring his heart rate while Maria sat with a little brown haired girl in her arms, holding back tears as the girl cried into her shoulder and Lucas and Lyra spoke with the doctor. "I said check again dammit! He can't die now!" He held the doctor by his lab coat. "Look sir, all the signs point to it Masculosis, we looked for every clue that could give us hope to believe it might be otherwise." The doctor explained, trying to keep his comp

How I hate this place, everyone looking upon me with those judgmental eyes as if they have it all put together Alex brooded, his hands pocketed into the navy blue slacks of his uniform, head hanging low with a piercing glare painted across his rigid face as he trudged through the halls. Why do I even go to this school? it's full of rich snobs who haven't known an ounce of hardship in their lives. I could just go to a public school and not have to wear a uniform...No, public schools have that retarded zero tolerance policy, assholes practically have a free pass there. Thwap! "Alex! Why so glum? Oh wait, you're always glum, I keep telling you

TF Central flailed in a mad bid to escape the psychopath girl's grip as they darted through the water swerving to avoid the sea monsters converging on the Attack Dog sub and moving ever closer back to Madison's island. Try as he might, the Gijinka could not break Madison's hold on him and they were moving too fast for him to focus his magic on her and before he knew it they were both flying through the air. That's when he felt the girl let go of him causing him to plummet into the twisted jungle below. Central groaned as he sat up and looked around, to try and get a look at whoever dared to try and make a captive of him, it was then Madison

Madison sat on top of a mountain with Max floating at her side as she watched the pink sheet cover the atoll. She herself safe for she sat on a mountain of an island she had borne from her own powers. The mountain she sat on was carved in the shape of a giant banana and a warped and twisted jungle with trees and foliage sprawling out in a myriad of shapes and colors lay beneath, to say nothing of the beasts that now populated it. Sustained exposure to the trace amounts of radiation in the island had caused Madison's powers to become all the more unstable, and her condition had visibly deteriorated in its connection to reality with her bicolor

Sorcerers or "Highborn Humans" are the staple of the ASB universe since the shift from a gender-bending TG-oriented story (Unexpected now covers that). So far, I've had to go into long drawn out explanations to try and elaborate on the intricacies of them. This profile will compile all current information I have on them and can be expanded upon further. Sorcerer Origins/History Like the Vampires, Sorcerers have lived in the shadows of human civilization refraining from drawing the attention of the larger human populace. In ancient tribal and early pagan civilizations Sorcerers were revered as priests and shamans, but those positions faded at

Hello, this is an entry on the nature and culture of Vampires in A Strange Beauty. Vampires are only one of the intended mythic/fantasy races to be included in the story. I hope that this will serve to better inform the reader about the A Strange Beauty universe without huge monologues within the story itself explaining the complexities. Vampire Origins: Vampires were created by the fallen angel Lucifer out of envy. Lucifer thought that God had created man imperfectly and deigned to create his own race of beings. These creatures superficially resembled humans except for their black leathery bat-like wings, pale complexions, viper-like fangs,
