Walking out from a room, was a figure, a young girl, seventeen years of age, with blood-red hair and molten gold eyes that currently appeared dull and swollen. She wore a sleeveless white shirt and black jeans, though the outfit did little to hide the damage beneath.
Jessica walked. No—Jessica...
Threadmarks: Chapter 15: Get Away From Me! You Vile Being!!
"WHAT THE FLAMING HELL JUST HAPPENED?!"
Jessica's voice echoed in the suddenly cozy room, high and incredulous. She stared blankly at her surroundings, a deep frown etched on her face as she tried, and failed to process the last few minutes.
Her eyes darted around the room again, checking...

'It seems I've been caught.'
The thought arrived with surprising calm, like a drop of water in an ocean. Jessica's helpless maiden act crumbled like ash, there was simply no point in continuing it. This woman, whoever she was, wasn't buying a single word she was selling.
Jessica met the...

Darkness.
That was all that greeted Jessica as her consciousness slowly stabilized. Not the threatening dark of a monster's lair, not the oppressive dark of a sealed chamber. Just… emptiness. Familiar emptiness. The same darkness she had felt when she died, before the truck, before the void...

'You sly old man.'
The thought was warm, amused, utterly without rancor. Jessica floated in the afterglow of her level-up cascade, her mental voice carrying a smile.
'You told me...
'Shit! Don't tell me the path has a timer?'
The thought barely had time to form before the truth of it became devastatingly clear. Behind her, the stone path was dissolving, melting back into the lava from which it had risen as if it had never existed. The process was silent and inexorable, a...
Threadmarks: Chapter 10: Beating Bad Luck With Bad Luck
Jessica Leap-Boing! along the narrow path carved through the Maze Hell's lava lake, her tiny flaming form a streak of light against the molten orange glow. She didn't look back. She couldn't. The last words of the shifting mural echoed in her mind like a curse she couldn't shake: "Master... I...
The space before Jessica was a nightmare given form. A landscape so hostile, so utterly lethal, that her mind immediately filed it under a single, succinct category:
Maze Hell.
The ground immediately in front of her was a jagged field of magma rocks, their surfaces cracked and glowing with...
"So. What say you?"
The words hung in the air of the chamber, carrying the weight of centuries. Arafel's voice was calm, patient, as if he had all the time in the world... which, Jessica supposed, he probably did.
But Jessica wasn't calm. She was frozen stiff as the bone in her inventory, her...
Threadmarks: Chapter 1: Would you like to be a student?
The rain fell in sheets, a relentless grey curtain that blurred the world into watercolor smudges of black stone and wet grass.
To Kathrine, it was barely a whisper.
She stood before the grave, her dark reddish hair plastered to her scalp, her face, her neck. Water dripped from her chin, her...
The phone screamed on the desk.
Grrringg…! Grrringg…! Grrringg…!
A young woman with hair the color of deep ocean water reached for it, her movements languid, practiced. She brought the receiver to her ear.
"Hello, Heroes Association. State your request." Her voice was flat, a monotone worn...
It truly sounds like an horrible idea depending on how we see it. But for jessica, it might be he only road to freedom. :)

Threadmarks: Chapter 7: What Say You... Little Flame?
'Arafel…'
The name echoed in the hollow of her mind, heavy with syllables. 'Of The Seven Unholy.' She turned it over, testing its weight. It had the ring of something ancient, something that should inspire trembling and awe.
Instead, it pinged a different association entirely.
'Hmm. Why does...
"Kukuku… It seems I have a guest."
The voice was not just sound; it was beyond a physical event. It made the vast chamber tremble, a deep, groaning vibration that shook dust from the high ceiling and made the guttering torch flames bow low. The pressure that had been a mere suggestion of eyes...
