I met him at night club. Another asshole, who turned my life upside down for while, took from me what he wanted and moved on. I felt sorry a bit, but it didn't hurt. He was nothing more, just another asshole in my life and I was kind of used to them. He humiliated me, but he couldn't hurt me. And the best part came in the end. The revenge.😈
You might say, "Of course he was an asshole! You can´t meet normal guy at night club! Everyone goes there just to hook up and that's it!" Yes, I know. But our first meeting was quite different. It wasn't at the bar, when he bought me a drink. It wasn't on the dance floor, where he could see me dancing. He didn't notice me at any occasion where I had a chance to look attractive. He noticed me at very embarrassing moment. I looked ridiculous and he still noticed me!😊 It was when I couldn't open the door.🙈 Yes, that's right! So embarrassing, I know. I was drunk and I wanted to go out, I was pulling and pulling that handle and still nothing! Suddenly, he came and pushed the door. "Hmm, of course! Push! Not pull! You dummy!", I told myself. Anyway, for sec I felt embarrassed but I really didn't care. I didn't notice him at all, just said, "Thank you", and went outside to catch up with Nela. She suddenly disappeared so I went to ask her what happened. She felt sick so Larry came to pick her up. So I said goodbye to both of them and wanted to go back inside the club. When I turned around I saw that Asshole headed straight towards me. He invited me for a drink.
When we got back inside, I didn't feel like having drink anymore. My throat was quite sore, I was tired and I was definitely drunk enough already.🙈 I didn't want to offend him, so I ordered a hot tea.😅 I know, pretty weird to have a hot tea in night club, but I didn't care what he thought about me. He definitely had to think that I was a totally weirdo, "first she couldn't open the door and then she was drinking hot tea, is she nuts or what?"
I really didn't care at all. I didn't feel like trying to impress him. At that age, I dated, or I should say – only slept with older guys and that one looked like he was my age. I didn't feel like babysitting, I wanted an older man, who knows what he wants, who has his own opinions and he stands by them.☝ Who is single, financially independent, serious, but also with sense of humor. This one was only 3 years older than me. I thought he was just another stupid young idiot, but he surprised me.😮
He met all my criteria but age. In the end, age is only a number, right? I found we attended the same college. In addition, he was managing his family restaurant in the center of the city. So, going to school and working at his own business. Nice. Who does it remind you? 😅Yes! Exactly HIM! My ex-boss. What kind of karma do I have?🤔 After one asshole, another one comes along and he has many similarities with first one!
Anyway, I wanted to give him a chance. He was pretty funny. We laughed a lot. But it was now time to go home. We went out, he called a cab and while waiting for it, we exchanged our phone numbers and Facebook. His name was Edward, but on the Facebook he was like TeddyB. I thought, "Seriously? TeddyB? Like teddy bear? What is he? Like 5 years old?" 😂He told me that he always introduces himself as TeddyB, so I should save his info in my phone under the same name.
"Hmm, grown man and he calls himself as TeddyB?" I asked myself. It was ridiculous, so childish. All right, but we will see. But actually it was not a surprise, he was the youngest one in his family. He had 2 older brothers, so of course he was treating like a baby. With your permission I will call him Edward, so that I don't call him Asshole anymore, ok?😂
The very next day, I had pretty bad hangover. I couldn't move out of bed for the whole day. I tried to remember what happened the previous night. "Oh, I see, I met Edward. TeddyB😂 Hmm, interesting guy." I didn't expect him to get back to me, but he did! He asked me out on a date! It was few days before Christmas and I didn't have time at all. The last week of school, final exams, then Christmas cleaning, baking, shopping…Then Christmas, and New Years Eve. Then the New Year and a new semester.
The whole that time we were chatting on Facebook very intensely. Sometimes, even hours, deep into the night. We talked about everything. We had fun. We laughed and flirted. It was very nice and I was pleased. It lasted probably 4-5 weeks but we still didn't see each other until we finally set up a date. I was afraid and nervous. Since we got along pretty well on Facebook, I wanted to impress him personally as well. I didn't feel unconcerned anymore, like the first evening when I didn't give a shit what he thought about me. Now I cared.
He picked me up and we went downtown to have a drink. We were talking like old friends online but what about now? In person? It was a bit awkward, but it was getting better. We didn't spend a long time together, but he behaved like a real gentleman the whole time. Exactly like a "dream date" described in a magazine.🔝 He really impressed me. He opened the door for me (He knew I have problems with doors though😅😅😅 ). He moved my chair for me, in the end he called a cab and he even paid for it. I said that I could go by bus, and it is no problem for me since I traveled by bus every day. Nevertheless, he insisted. He couldn't drive me home because he had a drink so the least he could do was pay for my cab. Wasn't that sweet?🤗
Before I got into the cab, he kissed me goodbye.💋 It wasn't our first kiss. I barely could remember our first kiss. It was that night after the night club when we were waiting for a cab. But tonight´s kiss was different. It wasn't drunk kissing. It was a sweet gentle kiss. It was a kiss that ended a great date.
I was starting to like him. Next time we met, we went somewhere for a drink and then he invited me to his office, which was in his restaurant. He wanted to show off for me. In the first room, there was an office table, a sofa, some paper boxes and a cupboard with alcohol, from which he took out a bottle of champagne and opened it for us.🍾 There was another room behind the curtain. There was a bed and TV set. He told me, he rested there when he didn´t have much work. He was used to have a nap during a day. A baby. 😅But of course it was a room where he brought women and fucked them. Why would we pretend otherwise, right? 🤔That evening we drank the champagne and he led me to his bedroom. He said that he wanted to lie down with me a bit. I refused to lie down next to him. I told him, that I´m not like that, and I was not going to sleep with him. ☝
He said, "I know. Just lay down next to me. We will relax. Don't worry, I´m not going to touch you." So I did. We kissed, hugged and cuddled. But we didn't have sex!
After our third date, we had sex in his "bachelor pad", if I may call it that. The rule of three, you know. 3⃣I proved that I was not easy, but it was already time. After third date, definitely! He was not going to wait forever, right? Anyway, I didn't mind sleeping with him, I didn't feel bad about it. We got along with each other pretty well. We talked a lot and we laughed a lot so I thought it might go somewhere further. So we did it. It wasn't like fireworks on Independence Day, but it was okay. 🙂I liked him, he turned me on, but there was no orgasm. 🙈When he walked me out, he said that he was getting over a hard break up, so he didn't want to start something new yet. He hoped I would understand. 😳
"WTF?!" I knew he recently broke up with somebody, but I didn't get the impression that it affected him too much!🤔😤 However, I totally understood that he was only up for sex. He had no interest in me or even having a relationship with me. It was only about sex! Again!! "Perhaps he won´t call me again. Hmm, pity. But it´s not going to kill me," I thought. 🤘
But he did call me. During the next few months, we met more or less regularly. At least once a week. We became lovers, but we weren't meeting only because of sex though. We were actually dating. We were going to pubs for a drink, to the movies, the spa, to night clubs, to his restaurant for lunch or dinner. I also met his friends. We were getting closer and closer. At the beginning, I didn't mind he was only up for sex. I didn´t care that he didn't want a relationship because he was always a gentleman to me and he never treated me like a slut, who he just fucked and sent home. Not like that! As I said, we spent a lot of time outside of his "bachelor pad". Nevertheless, I started to have feelings for him, even if we agreed in the beginning that it was going to be only about sex. After some time every single woman always starts hoping that something more will happen. And don't say it´s not true, because you know it is!☝☝☝😉😏
"Only two weeks to go! I´m so excited!" Nela said.
"It´s already the second time you are going to Malta, so why are you making such a big deal about it?" Lea asked.
"What´s wrong with you? I´m so excited because I´m going with Klara this time! It was fine with Larry last year. It was a miracle that we could stand each other and we didn't kill each other, but we didn't enjoy it fully. After all, I know everything there already and besides learning English, we will be partying of course!"
"Yeah, but I still feel like the fifth wheel." I said.
"More like the third one, my dear. Definitely third. Well, you can have a threesome together."😂 Lea laughed.
"Ha ha, very funny! I´m sure Klara will find someone to spend hot evenings with."
"Stop it! I´m not interested in anyone. I want to be with Edward. I´m afraid he is going to find somebody else by then."
"A summer fling won´t kill you."
"I don't understand why you like him so much. You said he is sleeping with someone else as well."
"I know. Well, he keeps saying that he is not, but I think he has some affairs."
"Definitely! From what I know, he is with different girl every week."
Lea worked in his restaurant like 2 or 3 years ago, so she got to know him before I did. She didn't have good memories about that job. She told me that they were paying less to all part-time workers then they were supposed to and that his mom was always yelling at them. She used to tell me she wouldn't want her as a potential mother-in-law. That she is such a witch. I felt bad that she never said any nice word about Edward. She always cursed him and spoke ill about him. He didn't like her either. When we all met together somewhere, they just ignored one another and they even had big fight once. It was really uncomfortable situation for me and I didn't want to be part of it.
"But I still think he is dating only me. At least I hope he is not spending time with other women. I believe that he is getting along so well only with me and it is only about sex with others."
"Honey, it is only about sex with you too."
"Not really. We are dating though. We have other things in common besides sex."
"For example?"
"For example we like going to the movies together."
"And then you have sex."
"So what? Stop it now! He likes me. At least a bit."
"If he did like you he wouldn't use you only for sex but he would care for you. Since you have been "together" he hasn't even bought you anything! And there were already two occasions! Valentine´s day and Women´s day! No flowers, no chocolates, no jewelry, nothing! You should use him a bit. He has plenty of money! You jump when he whistles and you have absolutely nothing in return! Not even an orgasm! So why are you doing all this?" Lea yelled.
"I´m not going to use him! You know very well that I´m not that kind of woman. It would be absolutely embarrassing to ask him for something. And why would I? I can earn money for everything I need. And the fact that I don't have an orgasm with him, it doesn't mean that the sex is bad. Btw it is very exciting!"
"Sorry Klara, but Lea is right. I don't get it either. Why are you sleeping with him if on one hand you two don't have a real relationship and on the other hand, he is not satisfying you."
"And what does he even look like?! What makes you horny about him? He is fat though!"
"He is not! He is only chubby. Such a teddy bear.🤗 Anyway, I´m not the skinniest either, that's why we fit together so well."
"Yeah, and about that. Perhaps that's why he calls himself as TeddyB! Because he is "only chubby". That is so ridiculous."
"You can do better, Klara."
"Ok, leave it alone!"
I was thinking, if we were really together, would I be able to tolerate his infidelity? I kinda knew he was not going to change. Could I live with it? Could I bear the fact that he would be hanging out with other women, but coming back to me? Could I bear, that he would be laying in someone else´s bed, but sleeping in mine? Could I be happy like that? Would it be enough? I don't know.
Two weeks before our trip to Malta, Nela and I organized a party at my place. I had a empty house so we used it and had a final party before summer or let´s say "a good bye" party". We bought alcohol, invited friends and had fun. Edward was supposed to come as well. It´s better to say: I wanted him to come, but he didn't show up. I didn't mind because we had so much fun that I didn´t miss him at all. Once, we got drunk, we went to the club. Edward met me there and since then we haven't been apart. He came to my place that night and stayed until morning. I was so happy. No man had slept in my place before. Never ever!
This wasn't only about sex anymore; it was becoming much more familiar. We had sex and then we slept side by side like real couple. In the morning, I woke up earlier than him. I was just laying there for while and suddenly a FART! 😂He just farted! In his sleep. I wasn't horrified or disgusted, I was pretty glad. 😂Yes, that's right, I was glad! Because it was so personal, not fake, so real.
It is said that those couples who fart in front of each other, they love the most or "when you fart together, you stay together". I think there is some truth to that because we all control ourself in the beginning. We don't want any faux pas, right? But when you make it to the state where you are yourself without any shame, that's called LOVE.❤ And why? Because we know we don't have to feel embarrassed, we know our partner is not going to be disgusted or something and the best would be even join in. This is the TOP of the relationship. So now I assume you completely understand my happiness about his fart. Anyway, I got up all smiling and giggling and went to prepare breakfast for him. I really enjoyed it.☕🍳 It would be nice to wake up next to this man and take care of him. Hmm, I was dreaming…
Our trip to Malta was close. Since Edward slept over my place, he was completely avoiding me. Even the day before I left, he didn't find time to see me and say good bye. I was disappointed. I was afraid that in the month while I was going to be away, he would find somebody else. It frightened me that he could even fall in love. I didn't want to lose him, especially now that we got closer. I even prepared him breakfast!!
Six weeks passed very quickly. I came back full of new memories, but I couldn't wait to see Edward. He met me the very next day. We had a drink and I told him everything, all my experiences in Malta. Well, not exactly all of them. I kept some of them as my little secrets. 🙊Anyway, he doesn't need to know everything, right? I thought that afterwards he would take me to his office and we were going to have sex after all that time we haven't seen each other, but he didn't. He drove me home. I didn't understand. He told me he had some work to do. It didn't seem like him so I thought it was other woman behind it, for sure. But I didn't freak out. I wasn't jealous. I felt just a bit disappointed, because I was excited to see him.
The next couple days he wasn't interested in me at all and I didn't pressure him to hang out. One time, we went to a night club with Lea, where we met Edward and his friend, Robert. They were in bar next to the one we attended and we accidentally met outside while having a cigarette. They invited us for a couple of drinks and then we had a private party in Edward´s office, where we all kept drinking. We all were pretty drunk and I was hoping that I was finally going to have sex with him. Yet I didn't know how it would happen, since other people were there with us. I didn't want to kick them out since it wasn't my place anyway. Perhaps the other couple wanted to fuck as well. 🤔
Well, how? They will be on the sofa and we will go on the bed behind the curtain? That curtain is transparent! You can see everything through it and hear everything too! Well, we will see. I will let it happen organically. Hmm, it might be too much freedom though.🤔
When I came back from the restroom, Robert was sitting on the sofa. I sat down next to him. I thought Lea and Edward went outside to have a cigarette. Robert came onto me, he started kissing me and touching me. He was disgusting! I told him to get off me. When he didn't stop I stood up and sneak out. 😡
Suddenly I got it!💡 I pulled open the curtain and saw how Lea was riding him! She was fucking him just like that! Right in front of my eyes! I couldn't believe it! I wasn't disappointed from him, he was an asshole and I expected that he might do something like that. But her?! My best friend?! My friend who I went through so many things with in Italy? All those hard times in Italy. We shared our own secrets and we didn't even tell Nela! She is now betraying me?!HER?!😱
I knew it was over. Over between me and Edward, but I honestly expected it to happen sooner or later. However, I was a bit surprised that it didn't hurt at all. In the end, I didn't have as strong feelings for him as I thought. But it was over between Lea and me too. I felt so disappointed about it. I was sorry I lost her. She was my closest friend in the world, but I couldn't trust her anymore. Never again!
I just left. I went home but I didn't cry at all. I lost a man I was beginning to dream about, but I didn't cry. I didn't mind. I didn't need him. I had good times with him, but I was not going to cry over those memories and I was not going to cry for him. I didn't feel sadness; I felt anger. He humiliated me! He fucked my best friend right in front of me! He didn't care at all how I felt. And he even offered me to his friend like a piece of meat! Was he really thinking that I was going to sleep with Robert? Did he have such a low opinion of me? Phooey!!😤 I felt sick thinking about him and about her too. It was very interesting that Lea and Edward hated each other so much, but in the end they ended up in the bed together. The closest people in my life who at first hated each other, were connected by a common goal: hurting me and humiliating me. Thank you very much!
The very next day, Lea called me but I didn't answer. She texted me, apologized to me, but I didn't care. She hurt me. More than a man ever could! I didn't want to see her again. I was done with her. And what about him? He didn't have enough courage to even text me. But why though? Everything was very clear, but I wasn't finished with him yet. I was so pissed off that he humiliated me, and he made a fool of me, that I wanted him to pay for it. I wasn't dreaming about huge revenge, but I knew that one day I would get a chance to get it. 😈
Meanwhile I was hanging out with one of his friends, Peter. He was very nice and we got along very well. We actually weren't dating. I was just coming over his place, where we drank, smoked weed and talked a lot. Sometimes I even slept over there, but we never had sex. I must point that we slept on the same bed and still we didn't have sex. ☝That's why it was special. And he wasn't gay! Honestly, he would have loved to go further, but I didn't want to. I didn't want to ruin our nice friendship and he respected it. He respected ME! It never happened before! It was something brand new.😊
I told Peter how my relationship ended between me and Edward. And he said that he knew something about it. Edward told him about that night. Edward didn't tell him who the two girls he and Robert took to the office were. All Edward said was how hard he and Robert fucked one of them. Both of them! At the same time!🙈🙉🙊 How they fucked her everywhere where they even could, how they came all over her and what a slut she was.
It wasn't easy to listen to something like that. I don't mean that I felt jealousy because of Edward or something like that, not at all. It was hard to listen it because of Lea. I know she was very drunk, but she didn't deserve that kind of treatment. 😞They treated her as the last bitch they fucked, and they even referred to her like that. I felt so sorry for her, but it didn´t mean anything changed between us. She betrayed me and I couldn't forgive her.
Half a year later I met Edward at a school dance. He invited me for a drink but I refused. I couldn't drink anything that night because I was supposed to drive early in the morning. I left before midnight, just like Cinderella😄. As soon as I got into the cab, he texted me: "It´s a shame you couldn't even have one drink with me. You looked beautiful in that dress tonight. It was nice seeing you, I hope I will see you again…" I smiled. I knew that was my moment for revenge. 😈Since his brain is in his pants, and I´m pretty and attractive, I knew, if he just had one look at me, I would be back in the game. I knew once he saw me, he would want to fuck me again. I needed to use this against him and you bet I would!😈
He asked me out on a date, so we went to a bar, had couple of drinks and talked about life. I didn't expect him to apologize for Lea and he didn't. Asshole! I found out he had a serious relationship. He met his new girlfriend a bit before I went to Malta. That time I suspected that something was wrong, remember? I knew it was another woman! Before my trip to Malta he was avoiding me, and even after come back he wasn't chasing after me like he once did. He just fucked my friend and that was it. I hated him for that. He stole my friend from me! He could have fucked anybody he wanted to. I didn't care. And he had to do it with her! She was mine and he took her from me!!! "He will pay for it!", I told myself.
That night, while we had drinks, he had the balls to tell me that even though he has a girlfriend, he would also like to have me as his lover. He was absolutely shameless! I swear he told me it just like that, so nonchalantly. I don't know why he only saw me as a sex toy, and he never wanted to have real relationship with me. We even got along outside the bedroom . What does she have that I don't? She couldn't be better in the bed because he wanted to cheat on her with me. Maybe she comes from a better family than me, perhaps he sees a brighter future with her. After all, I was only a poor student.
"Are you dating someone?" He asked me when I came back to the bar. I was outside on my phone and it took me quite long. I thought, "Well, what to respond? I´m recently seeing someone but I wouldn´t call it dating, because it really didn't start like casual date…"
"No", I answered. He doesn't need to know about my private life now.
"Who is bothering you so much with all these text messages and phone calls, then?"
We went to his office after leaving the bar, as I predicted. We kissed. I pushed him onto the bed and blew him a bit. 🙈I wanted to get him excited and then kick him out of my life. It was my little revenge. I know it wasn't anything big, but it was just enough for somebody who is practically addicted to sex. So I stopped. He thought we were going to have a sex, but we weren't.😄 I got up and I mentioned to leave. He was in shock. He didn't understand what was happening. It was so funny! He couldn't believe I was going to leave him there like that. While I was putting my boots on and getting my coat I told him how glad I was that he introduced me to Peter, such a nice guy. I wanted him to think I was having an affair with Peter. I wanted him to be jealous so that he knew how it feels like when your friend is fucking your lover.
"What´s going on between you guys?!", he said as he was getting angry.
I didn't respond. I zipped my coat and I made for the door.
"Come on, come back baby", he begged like a small child when you take a lollypop from them.
"What will I get from it? Why would I have sex with you? You never made me come. I didn't have a single orgasm with you!"
OMG!! I said it! I really said it! And I didn't even mean to. I just said it.
"What do you mean you didn't?"
"I was just faking it because I liked you", I answered.
I will never forget his face. That was it! That was the kind of humiliation I wanted to repay him with! I can´t imagine a better revenge than destroying his ego. He thought he was a sex-machine, who fucked women one by one and actually satisfied them. Suddenly, his world was destroyed! In one moment, one of his lovers spilled to his face that she never even had an orgasm with him. That he wasn't able to make her come even one fucking time. I was so proud on myself. I planted doubts in his brain. Will he still think that he is a sex-machine? Will he ever believe a women´s look and her moans during sex? Will he ever believe they are actually having an orgasm? Will he ever believe that he is actually turning them on? I think he´ll have his doubts. And I was soooo happy. He paid my debt! 😏
A word to the wise:
"We give strength and faith to our beloved.
Strength to destroy us and faith, that they will not do it."
This isn't only between a man and a woman, but also between friends. I trusted Lea and she betrayed my trust and ruined our friendship.
BTW be careful about farts! If man farts on you, it doesn't mean he loves you! It´s closer to him shitting you, or just dumping you. IT´S NOT LOVE!!! OMG!!! Such bullshit that theory about farting together… 😠

Launching #WTAsia2015
Almost two years have passed since Kim Bruce and I took our first group of travel writing students to South Korea and Japan. We dubbed that study abroad effort #WTAsia2013.

Bam Spacey "Dessa Bränder (CHLLNGR Remix)"
Earlier this year, Swedish producer Bam Spacey (pictured above) released a six-track EP of moody, and, yes, spacey dance music via New York's Ceremony imprint. Now, five months after Land's release, Spacey has shared this remix of the EP track "Dessa Bränder" from a producer just as familiar with the depths of vast electronic sounds, CHLLNGR, who laces the swirling arpeggios and airy pads of the tune with a percussion-filled dub ryhthym. As luck would have it, a video for the original "Dessa Bränder" just dropped yesterday, which we've gone ahead and provided for your viewing pleasure after the jump.

**Households impacted by Hurricane Michael in 12 Florida counties could be eligible for mass replacement of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
It's one of several steps USDA is taking to ensure Floridians have the means to purchase food.
Acting Deputy Under Secretary, Brandon Lipps says many residents lost everything, including food they'd purchased previously with SNAP benefits.
Rather than require SNAP households to report food losses individually, USDA has granted Florida the ability to approve automatic mass replacements.
**Since 2010, U.S. consumers are spending more money dining out than for food prepared at home. For farmers and ranchers, the trend means they receive less of the overall food dollar.
American Farm Bureau Federation economic analyst, Megan Nelson attributes the trend to rising U.S. incomes.
The recent installment of USDA's Food Expenditure Series shows consumers spent a record $1.62 trillion on food and beverages in 2017, with 53 percent spent dining out and 46 percent spent on food consumed at home.

**Claims made by the oil industry regarding E15 in a recent op-ed are not true, according to the National Corn Growers Association.
The American Petroleum Institute claims ethanol, as mandated in the U.S. fuel supply by the Renewable Fuel Standard, is ripping off consumers.
However, NCGA President Lynn Chrisp says the oil industry opposes E15 and other ethanol blends simply because they take market share from the industry.

Landon kept his head down. His hood was pulled up to keep his face covered. Now and again he dared to look up and around himself, but quickly pulled his eyes back down to the ground watching only the back of the feet of the person walking in front of him. In the light of day, looking around at the scenery around him it was almost a little too easy to believe what these freaks were saying… that he was in another world.
Nothing looked familiar, not even the trees. They were all gnarled and grotesque looking. The men – and now some women too – from the squirrel tribe jumped through the branches, navigating them with ease. If he looked hard enough through the trees he could make out land beyond. Not the green grass land that he was so used to back home, but dark lands. Grass was brown and dying and even the sunlight had a different look to it.
He wanted to deny it with all his heart but he was sure of it. He was not in his grandma's woods.
Kite and the two other boys walked along beside him. Her father lead the way but other men walked among them. From the way that they were each dressed Landon had a feeling he was looking at a mixture of four tribes. There were the Squirrels. Others were dressed in pants and shirts with the same sort of traveling cloaks that Kite wore. Then there were other men and women who were dressed in long orange robes with giant sleeves. They reminded him of monks or people from some sort of religious order. And last were the collection of lean people who were not as tall as the others. These people wore primarily black and the way they stalked around Landon was reminded of ninjas.
He looked at Kite's friend, Jasper. As pale and skittish as he looked, not even his cool black clothes could make him look half as impressive as the rest of his tribe. The boy kept fidgeting and constantly kept his hands in motion. In his hands he had a long white string and was making odd designs with it as they walked.
So even in magical lands there were nerds, Landon thought.
Jasper suddenly held up his hands in triumph, the string was laced between them in a clever design. "Kitty whiskers," he shouted.
The other boy scowled and reached out snatching the string from the boy's hands. "That looks nothing like cat whiskers!" he shouted. The amount of anger baffled Landon. He quickly manipulated the string himself and held it up with a smirk. "Cat's eye."
"That's the Fish in a Dish," Jasper scowled. "Give me back my string."
The two started an argument with the other boy hold the string just out of Jasper's reach high above his head. Kite whirled on them. "Give him back the string, Milo!"
Milo scowled at her but tossed the string back to Jasper. Landon stared between the two of them his curiosity starting to burn inside of him. He astonished his own self when the question leaked from his mouth, "So, what are you supposed to be?"
Jasper stopped and stared up at him in surprise as if he couldn't believe that Landon was talking to him. He even pointed to himself before he answered in a hush voice. "Rabbit."
"And not a very good one," Milo guffawed. He then jabbed a thumb at himself. "I'm a tiger."
Jasper's hands were tight at his sides, his face almost red in anger. "I'm not a very good rabbit? Tiger my left foot – you're nothing more than a kitten."
"You want me to deck you, grass eater?!"
"Knock it off!" Kite shouted at them. Her eyes shifted to Landon and she slowed her pace to match his. "So, you're starting to believe?"
"I believe you're all delusional," he said, shoving his hands into his pockets.
Kite sighed and for a moment she was quiet before she asked. "What did you do with the stone? I notice it's not around your neck."
"It's in my pack. Don't even try anything, thief. I've got it hidden away where no one's going to find it. You'll have to shred my back to find it."
"I'm not a thief!" she shouted. "Look, Landon, I'm sorry for stealing something so precious to you, but you have to understand. My family needs that rock. I told you my uncle died, right? He was killed because an evil warlock named Dubhlainn killed him. He's taken over the whole world. Our tribes are the last corner of Delancia that he hasn't taken over yet. But he's going to. And when he does then no one will be free to stand up against him."
"And how's my rock supposed to stop that?" Then he quickly added, "If I did believe your story – which I don't."
"Because it's not just a rock. It's a crystal with a fairy inside. Warlock Dubhlainn froze all of the immortal fairies. They were very powerful magic wielders. The Wolf tribe tried to protect them, but they all died trying to."
"So just unfreeze those fairies. Why is my rock so important."
"Because your rock isn't frozen with Dubhlainn's spell. It's different. The last fairy froze herself so that she would be protected. She knew the only safe place for her was in the human world but fairies can't exist without magic. So she froze herself. A member of the Wolf tribe was placed in charge of her. They both ran. I don't think either one of them counted on the tribe being slaughtered. I think the idea was that someone was supposed to come get them. It was a super-secret mission."
"So… you think my rock is this fairy thing and… my grandma was a member of this Wolf tribe?"
"Not your grandma. No. She wasn't old enough. This was like over two hundred years ago."
He stopped in his tracks and gaped at her. "You're saying you're being attacked by the same person over two hundred years? People don't live that long."
"Because Dubhlainn is half fairy. I told you, the fairies are immortal."
"So he's immortal and you can't kill him?"
"I don't think Dubhlainn is completely immortal. He's just really hard to kill and I don't think he ages the same."
Landon jammed his hands on his ears and stomped ahead of her. "I'm done listening to you right now! You really are insane. I'm going to get home and I'm never going to look back. I'll go to sleep tonight in my bed at home and when I wake up I'll pretend that this was just a dream after all."
"I wish I could pretend it was just a dream," he heard Kite said in a small voice that didn't match her. He ducked his head and picked up his pace trying to keep the voice out of his head. Was he feeling sorry for her? He tried to tuck the emotion away.
They came to an area where there was suddenly a lot of tree damage. One whole tree was split vertically as if something had sliced it down the middle and then pulled the halves apart.. He looked around. "What happened here?" he asked.
"This is where we rescued you last night, kid," Jeff said.
He gawked at it. "That bear did that?"
"That was no bear last night. That was a Canis. A vicious half-dog creature. Some say that Dubhlainn the Dark One turned the last of the Wolf tribe into those creatures. You're lucky you survived. Not many can outrun those beasts."
Landon felt his blood drain from his body. Psychos or not, looking at the devastation he was glad that the creature had not caught him. There would have been nothing left of him. "Did you guys kill it?"
"Kill it? Heh, we gave it a good whipping and sent it back with its tail tucked between its legs, but no, we didn't kill it. We had nowhere near the man power for that last night."
Landon decided to not ask any more questions. He wasn't getting the sort of answers that might make him feel any better. A few minutes later he was excited to find a soft glowing beam and traced it back to his flashlight. He clicked it off and on a few times. The light flickered but held.
"What's that?" Milo asked snatching it out of his hands.
Landon ground his teeth but forced his anger back. People here clearly needed to learn some manners and a few laws of ownership. "It's a flashlight."
"What's it for?" Milo flicked the thing on and shined the light around to the amusement of others.
"It just is what it is. It provides light in dark places." Seriously? Was he really standing here explaining a flashlight to this guy? Except that he didn't think the boy was pretending that he didn't know what it was. Milo tossed it back and Landon quickly stashed it away back in his pack.
The cliff wall came into sight. It was a welcome sight. Landon could see the hole that he had dropped out of. In the light of day it was now easier to see the surroundings. It looked as if there used to be a much larger cave, but a rock slide had overcome it.
"It used to be sealed. We had a devil of a time getting that small tunnel cleared out," Kite said. "But the three of us managed it. Jasper did the digging and Milo did the heavy lifting."
"And you just stood there ordering us about like slaves," Milo said gruffly, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Who sealed it?" Landon asked.
"Dubhlainn. He didn't want anyone escaping. I think he also didn't want anyone getting back in."
"Huh? Wait – so you think he knows that a fairy escaped?"
"It's just a theory. I have no real proof."
"You don't have proof of any of this," her father snapped at her.
Jeff walked up to Landon. "Let's hoist you up there, little fella. After you, Kite?"
She stomped her foot. "I'm telling you this is a big mistake! I do have proof. I saw it! I saw it in the journal."
"A journal you found in a place you should never have been in. Two men lost their lives trying to rescue you."
Kite flinched as if she had just been slapped. Landon wasn't sure but he thought he saw tears filling in her eyes. She walked up to the wall and slowly started to climb up reaching the hole. "Doesn't change the fact that I saw it. I had to-"
But whatever Kite thought she had to was cut off by her scream. It took Landon a moment to process exactly what had just happened as she came hurtling back down to the earth. It had looked as if a black stick with feathers at the end had grown out of her shoulder blade. He heard Kite's father shout in dismay and ran and captured her in his arms. Almost immediately the adults all jumped into action, shoving the children back to the wall. The Squirrels pulled out their bows and nocked arrows to strings. The Rabbits pulled out vicious looking blades and the Tigers hefted clubs over their arms.
At first Landon couldn't tell what it was that suddenly hurtled out of the trees towards the line of adults. Not until a Rabbit sliced through one and its body crashed down to the ground in front of Landon. The thing looked like some sort of cross between a warthog and dog. Its face was shaped like a snout with sharp canine teeth and white tusks arced around the jaw. Its ears were small pig-like things that poke out of purple hoods. The creatures wore tunics but left their legs exposed. They were twisted things that ended in hooves or claws depending on the beast. The one that landed near him carried a chipped blade, but he could see others that carried a variety of different weapons.
Fear turned into a lump in Landon's throat. This was real… this was way too real. One of the pig-like creatures rammed Jeff hard in the middle with a large club. The man went flying and Landon looked up realizing with horror that there was nothing in between the creature and him.
"Run!" Jasper shouted.
Something grabbed his arm and yanked him in a direction. Landon took off with him, his brain frozen in time with his body moving on auto pilot. He looked over his shoulder and shuddered in horror as the creature and several others stampeded after them hot on their heels. Landon drew in a deep breath and focused all his energy into his legs. He easily passed Jasper and reached out and grabbed the boy by the sleeve. "Can't you run any faster?!" he demanded.
"Not in this form. Look, follow me and you better keep up. I know a way to lose this guy."
Jasper pulled free of his grip and suddenly he was running ahead of Landon – and shrinking. Before his eyes Jasper changed from a small boy into a tiny grey furred rabbit with long floppy ears. At first Landon's mind refused to believe. Tried to think a thousand and one ways to explain where Jasper had gone and where the rabbit had come from. A grunted shout from behind him forced his focus back at the manner at hand.
Jasper raced ahead able to duck and weave easily through the undergrowth that Landon had to jump over. When Landon next looked back over his shoulder he thought they might be managing the impossible. They were leaving those weird creatures behind! He turned back around to see Jasper ahead tucking around a corner. Suddenly a high pitched animal squeal rent the air.
"Jasper!" Landon shouted.
He slid to a quick stop as a pig-like creature stepped around a tree. Its mouth was curled back into something that resembled a smile. From its clawed hand hung Jasper dangling from his back legs, completely limp.
"Don't stand there gawking!" another familiar voice shouted. "Grab the rabbit and get outta here!"
A black and orange shape suddenly hurtled past Landon. It flew into the pig's face and went to work scratching and spitting, hissing as it clawed. Jasper fell towards the ground and Landon dived and caught him just before he slammed into the ground.
Hugging the limp creature to his chest he spun around and took off in another direction. He hurtled through the forest stopped only when he reached a cliff. He slid to a hard stop, one sneaker slipping on wet rock. A river had curved around and now dropped several feet below. Landon considered his chances about leaping into the water. He was sure he could survive it but he wasn't sure how he would manage with Jasper in his arms.
He whirled around at the sound of a loose rock falling. Several pig creatures were advancing on him now, their eyes gleaming. One of them took a leap at him and Landon had just enough time to spin around and take a flying leap out into the air. He shouted as he plunged every downwards.
Suddenly there was the flap of wings around him and arms grabbed him around the waste. At just the last second something arced his body upwards and instead of slamming into the water he was suddenly flying over it, skimming the surface. The sound of wings was still in his ears and he looked up to find Kite's face close to his.
At least part of it was Kite's face. She had a beak and everything from her cheek bones back was feathers. Her arms were wrapped around her chest but he felt talons. "Hold still, human. This isn't easy," she grunted.
They flew over the river bank and crossed onto ground. Landon braced for impact as Kite's wings faltered and he slammed into the ground in a shower of dirt and foliage. Kite went flying a little further, landing just a few feet away. He dropped Jasper on the ground and rushed after her.
Her half-transformation was already melting away. The arrow still stood straight up from her shoulder blade. Had she flown with that still inside of her? Now he was impressed, he had to admit.
He relaxed for a moment thinking that that maybe they were now free, but this time something else crashed through the woods and bounded on them. Fear turned Landon's body cold as he found himself staring face to face with the Canis from the previous night. He stared down at the bodies of Kite and Jasper. He couldn't run! He couldn't just leave them behind for this beast to grab them.
He stood up and placed himself between Kite and the beast. He would go down fighting before he turned tail and ran abandoning people – no matter who they were. He pulled courage from the deepest place of his heart. He had no weapon and surely not the strength, but he was going to give it all he had to try to keep this beast away from them.
The Canis reared up on its back legs and roared filling Landon with fear. Inside of him Landon felt the fear suddenly turning into something else inside of him. Only half conscious of it he opened his mouth and his own voice matched that of the Canis as he bellowed at the creature and then ran and leapt, hurtling towards the creature's face, prepared to meet his fate.

text: Soon after news of the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm and the rights to Star Wars, news and rumors of directors working on the announced sequels became aplenty. To the point of being annoying. One name that was thrown around was director Zack Snyder (300, Watchman, Man of Steel), who was quick to deny working on any of the Star Wars Episodes VII, VII or IX sequels. But it might seem that was more of a, read between the lines kind of thing. It is now being reported that after he finishes up on Man of Steel for Warner Bros., he will be turning his attention to the Star Wars Universe. Though it won't be on Episode VII, but a standalone film inspired by Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai movie, featuring a group of Jedi warriors on a mission. Now this is still much a rumor until some official announcement is made, but it does sound very cool if true. (Source: Vulture via /Film

Serena Williams to 'take a deep breath' after exhausting past few years
Serena Williams says she is exhausted and needs a break.
Three days after winning her record seventh title at the Sony Open on Key Biscayne, the top-ranked Williams suffered a shocking defeat on the clay courts of Charleston, S.C., losing to No. 78 Jana Cepelova of Slovakia in her opening match at the Family Circle Cup.
Williams gave Cepelova credit for being "a great counterpuncher" but put much of the blame for the loss on her own fatigue. She went down 0-5 in the first 18 minutes and said she was tired from two years of tournaments and training.
"I'm really just dead," Williams said. "I need some weeks off where I don't think about tennis and kind of regroup. I've had a long couple of years, and I'm really a little fatigued.
"I just think I've been training really hard and putting so much effort into every day for a couple of years now. I think sometimes taking a break is just as important as training, and I haven't been really doing that so much."
Earlier in her career, Williams was known to take breaks between tournaments, but she has been playing a busier schedule over the past two years and won 12 titles over the past 12 months.
"I need some time off, so I'm going to kind of take a deep breath," she said. "I haven't had time, even in the offseason. I went straight to training, and there's just been so much in several years. So I just need to take a deep breath and regroup, and I think actually it'll really help me for the rest of the clay-court season."
Her next tournament will be the Madrid Open in May.
• The Davis Cup quarterfinals are this weekend. Switzerland is a heavy favorite over Kazakhstan, with Australian Open championStanislas Wawrinka
and a resurgentRoger Federer
on the team.
"We all know that we have a good opportunity, especially since Roger is playing and I am playing," Wawrinka said Tuesday.
The matches begin Friday in Geneva on an indoor hard court, with Wawrinka ranked No. 3 in the world and Federer up to No. 4. Kazakhstan's best-ranked player is No. 56 Mikhail Kukushkin.
The winner faces Britain or Italy in September.
Switzerland last reached a Davis Cup semifinal 11 years ago.
"For sure, it's going to be amazing [to play at home], especially after my beginning of the year," Wawrinka said. "First [Davis Cup] quarterfinal for me, playing in Geneva in front of 16,000. I'm excited for that."
Japan's Kei Nishikori, who withdrew from the Sony Open semifinals with a groin injury, announced he will sit out the Davis Cup tie against the Czech Republic this weekend. And Richard Gasquet will not play for France against Germany because of a back injury.
• ESPN and Wimbledon are co-hosting a contest in which American fans have an opportunity to design the official tournament poster for 2014. The winner gets an all-expenses-paid trip to Wimbledon and Centre Court seats.

Online voting ends Sunday. A panel of Chris Evert, John McEnroe and All England Club director Philip Brook will pick the winner, taking the public vote into consideration. The winner will be announced April 29.
