Smile For Me
I giggled as my back bounced on the mattress. Edward climbed on top of me, his crooked smile making my heart flutter. It had been weeks since we last had a night together. We were newlyweds for goodness sake! We should be able to have more than one night a month to show each other just how much we loved and missed them.
"I've missed you." I smiled at him as I started to unbutton his white shirt. It was our night, and no one – not even the stupid fire department –could take this away from me.
Edward chuckled and started to rub my arm. "Impatient, aren't we?" He asked.
"It's been a month." I growled at him, unbuttoning the last button, revealing his hairless snow white chest. He was the only man I knew that had a hairless chest without shaving or waxing. He also can't grow a beard, trust me, he's tried.
"Oh my goodness." I laughed my hand rubbing across his almost hairless chest. "You really do have a chest hair."
Edward's smile grew into a grin. "I told you!" He was europhic.
"I can take care of that for you." I smiled, grabbing onto his one strand of hair.
"No," He turned his body to the side. "It took me twenty-five years to get this chest hair. You're not taking it away from me."
I clamped my hands over my mouth so I could muffle it. I was afraid that I would ruin the mood by laughing at the fact, it was a fact, that he got his first chest hair after twenty five years of trying.
"Don't laugh at me." Edward laughed.
"I can't help it." I choked out through fits of laughter. "I'm just so proud of you." I lied, which sent me over into another round of laughter.
Edward growled at me playfully. His hands grabbed onto my wrist and lifted them over my head. I stopped laughing and tried to be serious as he held my hands over my head. It was hard to be serious around Edward, especially when we were sharing such an intimate moment.
"If you tear this dress, I'll have to hurt you." I warned him when he smiled at me, mischievously.
"I like this dress." Edward mused, his free hand sliding under it and rubbing on my thighs.
"I do too and I would like to wear it more than once." I growled at him when his hand found my waist and started to pull at the elastic of my thong (I didn't usually wear thongs but Alice, Edward's sister, had bought me a pair so I could wear it for Edward tonight.
"You got to wear it tonight." He started to pull my thong down away from my womanhood as he continued to talk about my dress.
"I didn't get to wear it anywhere." I frowned at him. "You're the one that wanted to stay in and cook me dinner tonight."
"True," Edward agreed. "But I couldn't possibly let my wife out of the house without any underwear on, could I?" He was holding up the thong I was once wearing.
My mouth dropped and I looked down to see if I could figure out how he had managed to remove my thong without me knowing but the dress was in the way. I looked back up at him. He was balling up the thong in his hand and leaning over to set it on the dresser next to his pager.
"I should really send that to Mike Newton in the mail." Edward said to himself. "I wonder what he would think about finding my wife's dirty thong in his mailbox."
I rolled my eyes. Mike was an old friend of mine that had a crush on me and had made many attempts after my heart, even when I was dating Edward. He didn't get the idea that I wasn't interested in him until I was married.
"I wish you wouldn't." I mumbled. "It's not fair to him. He just broke up with his girlfriend."
Edward shrugged. He didn't seem to really care, which I didn't blame him. Mike wasn't one of his favorite people. In fact, he wasn't really my favorite person either. But he was tolerable and I wasn't that cruel.
"Now where were we?" Edward asked. His green eyes shined brightly at me.
"I don't remember." I lied. I knew exactly where we were.
Edward frowned at me. "Really?" He raised an eyebrow. "You have no idea what we were doing before I took off your thong with one hand."
I knew he was bragging about being able to take off my thong without me realizing it, let alone with only one hand. But I had gotten use to Edward's ability to surprise me over the years.
"I don't remember." I continued with my lie.
Edward smiled at me. "You were always a bad liar." He laughed letting go of my hands.
"You didn't say that last time we had sex." I bit my lip so I wouldn't laugh.
Edward had to think about it for a second. His face went through three different emotions. The first, confusion. The second, shock. The third, anger.
I swallowed audibly when the angry smile formed across his face.
"You're going to pay for that." He smiled at me, his voice broke with anger (or maybe he was trying not to laugh). "You're so going to pay for that." He repeated. It was like he was a broken record.
I screamed and tried to crawl from underneath him, but his hands grabbed onto my waist and his face hovered above mine. "You're so going to pay for that."
"I'm sorry." I laughed trying to pull myself from his grip. "I was lying. I didn't fake an orgasm…last time we had sex." I added the last part under my breath.
"You're going to pay for that to." Edward told me.
I didn't get a chance to take my words back. His lips quickly found mine and we started what would be, because I was going to make it, the hottest night of our marriage – next our honeymoon of course.
My hands wrapped around his neck and my fingers tangled into his hair so I could push him closer to me. My tongue poked out of my mouth and started to trace his bottom lip, or at least tried. Edward opened his mouth soon after I opened my mouth so he could deepen our kiss. His hands were pulling at my dress. I had never been more grateful for a strapless dress before.
His mouth left mine as soon as my breasts were exposed. A loud moan escaped my lips when his mouth clamped onto one of my nipples. I stared up at the ceiling, trying not to let my eyes roll into the back of my head.
"You're playing dirty." I groaned when he switched breasts. A shiver ran down my body when the cold air hit my now damp nipple.
"How?" Edward asked, his voice vibrating against my chest. My back arched and my eyes widened.
"You know what this does to me." I growled at him.
Edward lifted his head from my chest. "Oh I know." He smiled at me. "I also know what will happen if I do this."
My eyes widened when I felt a cold finger trace the lips to my womanhood. My eyes bugged out and my hands gripped at our bed sheets. I didn't look at Edward as his fingers decided to enter me. It was a very welcome visitor.
I grabbed the back of his head and pushed his mouth onto mine. I didn't care how pathetic I looked. I wanted him more than I wanted anything else in the world. I wanted him inside of me. I wanted to make him moan out my name, as I screamed out his name. I wanted to let him know that he was the only person that could make me feel this way.
I rolled us over so I was on top of him. His fingers didn't leave me.
"You're amazing." I told him. "You're the most beautiful creature in the world and if you don't get your fingers out of me, I'm going to shove them where the sun doesn't shine." I growled at him.
"I think I already have." Edward smiled at me.
I hissed at him.
He laughed but reluctantly removed his fingers. I could feel my body react to the warmth and the pleasure he was taking away. It didn't like it.
I leaned forward and continued the kiss that I had broken. His hands started to roll the dress over my stomach so he could pull it over my head. I pulled away from the kiss and lifted my hands in the air so we could get the dress off of me.
"I like it when you're on top." Edward told me, tossing the dress to the side.
I smiled at him. "Really?" I asked.
He nodded. "It's easier to do this." He grabbed onto my breast and started to massage them together.
I closed my eyes and ran my hands over his almost hairless chest. I was looking for the chest hair he was bragging about earlier. I wanted to play with it so I could boost Edward's ego. But I couldn't find it. I think it might have been pulled out when Edward pulled his chest to the side when I threatened to pull it out. I kind of felt sorry for him.
Instead of rubbing his chest, I decided to make use of my hands by unbuttoning his pants. I could already feel his manhood as I zipped down his zipper, revealing my favorite pair of his boxers.
I laughed as I leaned forward and gave Edward a kiss on the cheek, my hands wrapping around his neck so I could hug him. "I love you." I kissed his cheek again.
"I thought it you would like it." He laughed along with me.
"I love it." I gave him gave him a peck on the cheek before I went back to removing the rest of his clothing.
I had to crawl off him, so he could lift his hips in the air. I made sure to get his pants off first, just a normal pair of black slacks, before I grabbed onto his Spiderman boxers and pulled them off.
"I'm saving these for later." I smiled at him, crumbling up his boxers and putting it next to my thong and his pager on the dresser.
Edward laughed. "You're such a bad girl, Bella."
I mocked gasped and put my hand over my mouth. "Me? Bad?" I asked. "How dare you?" I smiled at him.
Edward put his hands over the back of his head and smiled at me. He was enjoying this too much.
I rolled my eyes and crawled on top of him so I was hovering over his manhood. He quickly pulled his hands from the back of his head and held onto my hips. My nails dug into his chest as we (he was helping me) lowered me onto him.
"Oh God." We gasped out together. It had been a month since we last shared a moment together. And we didn't have the patience for anymore foreplay.
He was careful not to hurt himself when he pulled his back off the bed so he was sitting instead of lying down. He scooted himself so his back was against the headboard of our bed.
When he was finally situated, I was panting heavily into his chest with his my hands pulling on his hair. The way he was moving was hitting things that had never been touched before. It felt amazing.
"Did that feel good?" Edward asked, rubbing my back.
I nodded. I wasn't even able to moan.
His hands grabbed onto my waist again and helped me start a pace that we could both enjoy.
I had forgotten just how well we fitted together. It was as if our bodies were made just for each other. It was like we could do no wrong when it came to sex between us. We were meant for each other and by doing this, we were only showing each other more just how much we belonged together.
I started to kiss him, as my hands wrapped tighter around his neck. My body was starting to tighten around him, earning a very loud growl from Edward. I pulled my lips away from him and licked his earlobe.
"You're doing this to me Edward." I encouraged him. "You're making me tighten around you. You're the only man that has ever been inside of me and you're the only man that will ever be inside of me." I took his earlobe into my mouth and started to grind it between my teeth, earning a low hiss from Edward.
He started to thrust his hips forward so he could meet me. My grip tightened around his neck and my head leaned back, my eyes finally rolling into the back of my head. Edward took this a cue to start to suckle on my neck.
"I'm about to come." I warned Edward.
He just groaned and bit gently on my neck.
I gasped and my body started to shake. My grip tightened around Edward and I slammed my head into his shoulder. Groaning, loudly, as my nails dug into the back of his neck.
He hissed before following after me. His body shaking just as violently as mine was.
It was hard to let him pull out of me. I let out an audible whimper as I rolled off of him and laid in bliss next to him. I rubbed my hand against his hairless chest, attempting to find that strand of hair again.
Edward grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips. "That wasn't very long." He whispered before giving me a light kiss on my wrist.
I giggled. "We haven't had sex in a month sweetie." I scooted closer to him and rested my head on his shoulder. "Besides, I could go another round…"
It didn't take long for Edward to roll over so he was hovering on top of me. His hands were on either side of my head and he was smiling at me. I giggled and rolled my eyes. Of course he would be ready for another round. He was Edward.
"That didn't take long." I smiled at him.
"You said sex." Edward grinned back at me and lowered his head so he could kiss my lips.
I was about to wrap my arms around him and try to get him hard enough so we could go another round when undeniable sound of a pager vibrating against the dresser caught our attention.
My head fell back onto the pillow and I fought back the tears that were building up. It was my night. Not there's.
Edward frowned and reached across the bed for the pager. He read it quickly and rolled himself off of me, grimacing as he did so. "There's been another-"
"Fire." I finished his sentence.
"Hey Bella." Edward frowned pulling out a drawer so he could get another pair of boxers. "Don't be like that. You know this is just as hard for me as it is for you."
"This was supposed to be our night Edward." I growled at him, the tears that were welding in the corner of my eyes falling down my cheeks. "You promised that I had you all to myself tonight."
"I know I did." Edward frowned. "But I can't change what has already happen. You knew this before we got married –"
"It's fine." I lied rolling over and grabbing onto the blanket. I didn't even bother to get dressed. I was sleeping alone tonight anyways. "You have fun." I closed my eyes so the rest of the tears wouldn't fall out.
"Bella," Edward's voice was closer than I wanted it to be. His hand grabbed onto my shoulder and he leaned down to kiss my cheek.
I looked up at him. He was frowning at me.
"I promise that as soon as I get home. You're going to have the best morning of your life." He kissed the top of my head. "Now smile for me."
My lip twitched and I couldn't help but to smile at him. It was the only thing that anyone could say that could guarantee a smile to crawl across my face. I smiled through the rest of my tears and leaned up so I could give him a kiss goodbye.
It wasn't fair for me to blame Edward for his job. He was right. I did know what I was getting myself into when I married a fireman. But it didn't change the pain that stabbed my heart and the fear that twisted my stomach every time he was called into work. I had seen movies and TV shows where the fireman didn't come home and I knew that one day Edward wouldn't come home and it scared me senseless.
The sound of Edward starting his car made my heart jump start and I squeezed onto my pillow and buried my head into it. It was going to be another night that I cried myself to sleep.
The phone was ringing. It took me a minute to realize that I wasn't dreaming this and it was really ringing. My heart jumped into my throat and I jumped across the bed so I could get my cell phone off the dresser. My breath caught in my throat and I couldn't say hello when I finally flipped it open.
"Mrs. Cullen?" Chief Swan asked when I didn't answer.
My legs gave out from out of me and I fell to the floor. My fingers gripped loosely to the phone as I held it against my ear. My body was trembling and I let out a whimper. Tears were falling down my cheeks.
"There's been an accident." Chief Swan continued.
He was saying more but I didn't get to hear him. My body was trembling so hard that the phone had dropped to the floor. I was hyperventilating and my sobbing at the same time. I was starting to fear that I would pass out if I didn't get enough air into my lungs. But then again, I didn't care if I died.
There was only one reason that the chief of the fire department would call me. If there was an accident and if Edward had been –
I couldn't get myself to think about it. It would hurt too much. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on breathing normally.
"Mrs. Cullen?" Chief Swan asked again when I was quiet for a long time.
I reached hesitantly for the phone. "I'm here." I whispered, bringing it to my ear.
"There's someone that wants to talk to you. Would you like to talk to him?" He asked.
I nodded but then realized that he couldn't see me. "Yes." I finally choked out.
"Bella," It was still Chief Swan. "It's going to be ok."
His voice was annoyingly hopeful. I didn't say anything back. I just nodded and wait for him to bring the person onto the phone. It was hard not to catch the low murmurs coming from the people on the other end of the phone. I closed my eyes and let gripped tightly to the phone as I waited for someone to speak.
"Hey Bella." The voice was hoarse. My eyes widened. "Smile for me…"
A small, slightly hysteric, smile crawled across my face.
A/N: Do you like it? If you do, please review. This is the longest one-shot I ever wrote. I hope I did ok. This lemon is my favorite. I don't know how hot it was for you but I hope that it satisfied you. I know it's not like my other lemons, it's not as funny and it's not awkward. But they're married and it doesn't need to be awkward. Also! Coffin of Love will be updated soon. I needed a break! You have no idea how draining that story is. Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope you like it.

it looks impressive but that "100% assembly language" seems 500% far fetched to me... that language is so low level that it would take an eternity(or a few months for super geniuses) to make something like this! unless it's some language derived from the old assembly, like C++ is to C, or maybe some new "Visual something" made for easier programming in assembly...
of course my doubts may be because I'm still mad at some stupid assembly worshipping dude that tried to bully me got screwed and now is so indirect that not even a lawyer could prove he's talking about me....

It looks just like Gears of War, it even have the same gameplay..sorta.
If this has a solid multiplayer I'm sold.

Reminds me of Gears of War, I'm most definitely intrigued by the game. Is it exclusive to the Eshop? It would appear to have potential as a physical release.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.

You have to be careful and not take any unnecessary risks.
This build is not suitable for the center because of the small mana regen
If you avoid getting hit, this build will grant you many kills.
Work with the towers and save mana, use clarity when needed.

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Matt Harrison knows the pressure could mount on him this spring. He's vowing to fight it and is preaching patience, even right after his first bullpen session in Surprise, Ariz., on Sunday.
But for a guy who hasn't pitched since April and someone who knows a big part of the rotation is still on crutches right now, that won't be easy.
"What happened to Derek [Holland] is unfortunate, but I can't add any more pressure to myself to go out there and do something, because if I push too hard, it may be too much," Harrison said.
That's not going to be easy to do. The reality is that this rotation needs the Harrison who was so consistent in 2011 and 2012. They need the guy who pitched nearly 400 innings in those two seasons, sporting a 3.34 ERA in that span. Harrison had 18 wins in 2012 and after putting together two solid seasons, earned a contract extension. But injuries -- first his back, then Thoracic Outlet Syndrome surgery (the second of his career) -- prevented him from doing anything after making two starts last year.
But with Holland's time line right now as midseason and the fifth spot in the rotation up for grabs, there's urgency for Harrison to step up and perform. He knows it. But he's busy trying to put that out of his mind and focus on continuing to build strength and get fully healthy for the season. That's the smart thing to do.
And that means staying patient.
"It's been kind of boring," Harrison said. "I started working out in October. It was a long offseason working out and getting back healthy, but it's what I needed to do to get right."
Yet even as Harrison tries to block out everything but his preparation, the pressure is there. The Rangers need Harrison to perform. And they need that even more now with Holland hurt.
"At this point, I don't want to put any pressure on myself. But I know I need to step up and be out there every five days and do my job," Harrison said. "Hopefully, I'm off the injury wagon."

Smitty is the owner of SleeperU.com, which now proudly powers STARTERS' Dynasty Content.
Dynasty Player of the Week
Buy-Low: AJ Green
It's actually head-scratching how undervalued AJ Green is right now in dynasty. His ADP in all formats, redraft and dynasty, has now entered the 2nd-round, which is awesome news if you're crafty and looking to trade. Often times in dynasty leagues, fantasy owners think too far into the future. Green, turning 28 this July, is still capable of being a top 1-5 fantasy WR during any give season, and given WRs usually can play at an elite level through 32, he still has 3-4 years left as a player that can drop top 5ish fantasy wide receiver numbers. That's a long time in dynasty, 3-4 years, yet so many focus on only obtaining players that are 23 and 24 years old. This approach often has fantasy owners rarely winning titles, as they are always chasing 'the build' of their team. One strategy I've used as of late, in leagues where I needed to shake things up, is to trade a top 1-3 ranked receiver, like an Odell Beckham, for an undervalued AJ Green, thus allowing me to ask for a nice upgrade elsewhere. It won't fly now, but I was able to upgrade my 1.03 to the 1.01 using this so called 'downgrade' to AJ Green. Now I own Ezekiel Elliott because of that move. Again, that's not a move anyone would do now, as the 1.01 has now become Elliott, but you get the point and you see how one can turn a so called 'downgrade' into something more. Believe in AJG, he still has tier one WR appeal for a handful of years!

Humidifiers can ease breathing problems caused by dry winter air. They can also protect wooden floors and furniture by preventing the shrinkage and warping caused by cold and over-drying during the winter.
Humidifiers emit moist air into a room, increasing the room's humidity levels. They work by pulling the moisture from a water reservoir, either by using an evaporative belt or a rotating drum covered in absorbent padding. A properly functioning humidifier will not damage wood floors.
Although the fine spray of moist air that is emitted by a humidifier is too light to soak and damage a wood floor, problems can occur if the humidifier's reservoir leaks. If the leak goes unnoticed, water can soak into the wood floors, warping the boards and damaging the support layers beneath them.
Checking a humidifier often for leaks will minimize your risk of damage to the wood floors, as will placing the humidifier on a piece of wood or a plastic tray, which can act as a protective barrier for your floor. Repair or replace a leaking humidifier immediately.

This isn't so much of a particular story as it is a collection of thoughts. I've noticed the further north (closer to CAN) you get, the more a55holes there are in beer leagues. I spent a few years in texas and played adult beer league there for about 2 years and never really had any real issues, maybe the biggest one was my dbag teammate who was a raging alcoholic.
Fast forward to about 2 years ago, I moved back home (Montana) and have had more dbags hack and slash and blatant trip me in 2 games then I had in 2 years playing in texas. And the skill level is about the same here, just apparently way more *******s. My first game back I nearly had my wrist broken by some fn idiot who was nowhere near the puck tried to stick lift me under the cuff of my glove. I can't believe how many idiots are in beer league up here. I've even had a couple of clowns try to get tough in a pick up game. Unbelievable. *** losers. Perhaps it's the redneck mentality here in Montana, there is def a lot of that, or perhaps is just there are too many drunks here.

Simon D. Jackson Tippecanoe County, Indiana
I have been researching a branch of my Cochran family tree through Jackson Cochran and came across the name Simon D. Jackson as the father of Elizabeth Jackson, Cochran's wife.The source for this information was "INDIANA ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OF AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT Vol. 3?" By Charles Roll, A.M.?The Lewis Publishing Company, 1931.
Elizabeth Jackson's mother was listed as Louisa Bowsher, and I have confirmed through marriage records on familysearch.org that Bowsher and Jackson were married February 14, 1856 in Tippecanoe County, Indiana.One question that I have is if Simon remarried after Louisa's death in 1874.
I located a Simon D. Jackson married to Asenath Chenoweth just two years after Louisa's death.(Asenath's parents were Ira M. Chenoweth and Elizabeth Shoemaker.)This Simon and his wife Asenath are buried in the same cemetery as Louisa, but he is the only Simon D. Jackson listed for that cemetery.The age of this Simon also matches mine and they were both listed as being born in Ohio.
I am hoping that someone may have come across some document either in researching the Chenoweth, Bowsher, or Jackson family that can confirm my theory that Simon had these two wives.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

NZD/USD this week: ahead of RBNZ
By Elizaveta Belugina
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand will conduct a meeting tomorrow evening (21:00 GMT). According to the forecasts, RBNZ will raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 bps to 3.0% within its current tightening cycle – all 17 economists polled by Reuters expect this outcome.
As RBS puts it, it's hard to sell the currency whose central bank is raising rates when so many others are still glued close to the zero bound and when the Fed makes dovish comments. Still, the specialists underline that New Zealand's dollar is the world's most expensive currency in REER terms (real effective exchange rate). In their view, the rallies of NZD/USD to the $0.8700/9000 area should be used for opening short positions on the pair. NZD/USD is currently trading in the $0.8555/8600 area.
There actually are reasons for the central bank not to hurry with a rate hike. These reasons include lower inflation which fell to 1.5% in the first 3 months of the year from 1.6% in Q4 and falling dairy prices which lowers New Zealand's exports revenue. Even if there's a hike, traders will be examining the accompanying statement as it may contain comments about foreign exchange rates and general economic outlook and searching for some softer tone coming into the central bank's next meeting in June. ANZ says that the rate hike expectations are already fully priced in the NZD. This reduces NZD's chances to jump on the rate hike and increases its potential slide if the RBNZ disappoints.
Before the RBNZ decision pay attention to Australian inflation data (01:30 GMT) and China's HSBC flash manufacturing PMI (01:45 GMT) earlier on Wednesday.

An Ending in Three Parts
Triad's tendrils shuddered, quivering hesitantly as they lowered from the ceiling. It spoke, it's voice echoing from the room.
"I couldn't stop it."
Gabriella yelled at the room. "You've been being played, you selfish scumbag! Tetherson doesn't love you, Tetherson doesn't even want to kill you, it's just using you! It was going to use you as a shield. It doesn't want to destroy, it was going to fuse itself with everything!"
Triad remained silent.
"Gab, we've got to get out of here."
"There was always a backup plan." Echoed Triad. "I'm incapable of leaving the world to rot. You better run, like your girlfriend says."
"I hate you! You were meant to protect us and it was all lies! We trusted you!" Gabriella yelled as Ursula grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the chamber.
The Chairs began to storm in, wrapping folds of acidic flesh around everything they could touch. Gabriella and Ursula began to leave, the smell of dissolving flesh wafting from behind them. Triad never screamed, not once.
They ran back the way they had come, fighting their way past demons locked into battle with blood-soaked Chairs and dived into the lift. It began to descend but then it stopped, stuck. Gabriella expanded her vision trying to see the problem. The truck had exploded while they were further up the building and now foyer was a raging inferno. The lift lurched as a secondary explosion shot up the elevator shaft and they felt the heat of it blister through the metal.
"We've got to get out of her, the bomb's going to go off!"
They felt another shudder and then a sudden sickness as they plunged into freefall, the heat damage snapping the cables with a disturbing zipping noise. Gabriella grabbed hold of Ursula and closed her eyes, praying for salvation.
* * * * *
Triad's tower stood against the darkness of the night's sky, it's lights flickering on and off as it's power gave out. Smoke billowed forth, a thick black pillar of smoke rising into the night. Suddenly, a shaft of light lanced up through the building and shot out, expanding like a massive bubble. It slowed it's growth as it began to reach roughly about a mile radius and then imploded, erasing everything it had enveloped. Dust and dirt flew up from the crater as the surrounding air rushed in to fill the vacuum left by the implosion. A huge clap could be heard for miles and storms suddenly formed due to the sudden pressure change, much more destruction ensuing as tornadoes, thunder and lightning crashed down around the surrounding area.
In the Aether, the area was erased, the mile around Triad's tower becoming a void for life. As the implosion pulled in everything around it like a black hole, the thousands of demons that were at the tower, Triad's fading remnants and the surviving Chairs fused together along with thousands of others, innocent souls possessed and any one else caught in the blast. In the centre of that infinite stillness, something emerged. Tetherson - the Demon Machine - looked on. It had learnt of what was going on, of the tide turning against it and removed itself from the effects of the bomb. However, as it watched the birth of the new being it raged with intense jealousy and anger. It would find a way to achieve it goals. The machine was eternal and timeless. It could wait. However, it saw some thing, something faint wink into existence far away and it reached it's influence over to it. It was powerful, powerful enough to contain his essence. He'd been a fool to rely on the weak and foolish, demons with no forethought, no appreciation for what he was trying to do. He would make the arrangements in the real world himself.
Tetherson felt himself slapped back. He couldn't be destroyed, not as a pure Aetheric form but none-the-less he felt something akin to pain. He saw something massive arise from the emptiness of the void where once Triad's tower had been and repat that simple word.
The being rested their, something an order of magnitude beyond him. A reflection, a taste of the thing he had longed to become, mocking him by it's presence. Despite the fact he had no form here, he felt himself forced to be seated within the massive presence, felt himself enveloped by it. He roared.
* * * * *
Gabriella and Ursula winked into existence on the outskirts of New York, on a grassy hill. They carried their momentum with them from the elevator shaft and slammed into the ground, rendering them both unconscious. There was the sound of cracking bone and then darkness.
Gabriella woke up in a bed. She felt dizzy and disorientated as she came to, looking around. Things looked different, weird. Colours and shapes that made no sense to her danced in front of her.
"She's awake." She heard heard and then something moved into view. She realised then what it was, what the the colours and shapes were forming. It was a person.
"Hello, I'm Doctor Rush Nestor. Do you know where you are?"
"No, what happened? I...I can't see properly."
"When we found you, you were badly hurt, we thought you had fallen from a plane brought down by the explosion in New York but we couldn't find a wreckage anywhere. We thought maybe you could explain what happened. Anyway, you were so badly damaged we needed to replace most of your skull. The Mendelians have been working with us on providing healing. I know, sounds crazy, but every one needs to work together now that Triad's gone. Nothing anyone has done has managed to stop the demons so far, not even after we launched the bombs."
Gabriella tried to sit up but the pain sent her reeling. "No! You can't launch the bombs! It's what he wants!"
"They didn't work anyway, the design, the bombs never worked. The first one must have been a fluke, maybe Tetherson never completely documented it but when they launched, nothing happened. What do you mean, it's what he wants?"
Gabriella closed her eyes and sighed. "Nothing, I don't know, I'm just tired. What's happening? What happened to the woman I was with?"
"The Mendelian woman? She's in a bad way. When you fell she broke your fall, if not for her you'd probably be dead right now. She saved your life. Being Mendelian, she's tough, but with the injuries she sustained, well, she's in ICU. We're keeping an eye on her but it's touch and go. As for your own injuries, we needed to rebuild your face, we replaced your eyes, jaw and much of the flesh and skin. You might feel a bit numb and experience some loss in visual acuity for some time until you're fully healed."
Gabriella began to cry. The shapes and colours began to make sense now. She was seeing for the first time.
"I have some more good news. It's a miracle really. Your baby, it survived, the fetus doesn't seem to be damaged in anyway and in a few months we have every reason to believe you'll be giving birth to a healthy baby boy."
Gabriella tried to sit up again and instantly regretted it. "What?!"
"I know, we can hardly believe it ourselves. A real miracle child." The doctor smiled.
Gabriella struggled to find the words to respond.
"Obviously you're still exhausted. You should get some rest."
"I want to see Ursula, my friend, the one I came in with."
"I'm sure that can be arranged. In the meantime, get some rest."
Gabriella already felt the weight of the world weighing down on her and couldn't hold it back any longer. She nodded and let blackness take her once again.

Aston Villa's "reserves" did not disgrace themselves after being exposed to the bitter Moscow cold and manager Martin O'Neill's ambitions. But this was always going to be a bridge too far for a makeshift side in the wake of eight first-team regulars being left at home.
It required second-half strikes from Yuri Zhirkov on the hour and Vagner Love in the third minute of stoppage time to break Villa's resistance. Everyone had known in advance O'Neill would field a weakened side, but even when he confirmed the squad on Tuesday it took people by surprise.
The fact O'Neill kept so many stars behind said it all, making it clear his over-riding priority this season is to qualify for the Champions League.
With no Gareth Barry, Brad Friedel, Emile Heskey, James Milner, Ashley Young, Gabriel Agbonlahor, Carlos Cuellar and Stiliyan Petrov, there was every danger Villa would be like sitting ducks in a shooting gallery.
O'Neill had certainly made no apology in advance for his decision, one he described as his hardest since his arrival at the club. The Northern Irishman was left hoping the Villa fans – in particular the 300 that had paid hard-earned cash to trek to Moscow – would understand the logic behind his thinking. Standing in sub-zero temperatures for two hours is hardly anybody's idea of fun, but those hardy souls were at least offered a glimpse of the future, if nothing else.
That was due to O'Neill springing another surprise with his line-up by handing full debuts to 19-year-olds Marc Albrighton and Barry Bannan, who operated on the left and right-wings respectively.
Both could have folded under the pressure, but instead the teenage duo grabbed their chances with both hands as they gave accomplished displays, suggesting they may be at the club for the long term. As for the remainder of the line-up, at least there was strength in defence in stand-in captain Luke Young, Zat Knight, Curtis Davies and Nicky Shorey – the only regular first-teamers on view.
They certainly played their part in keeping CSKA at bay, with the Russian side playing the first home game of their campaign, and with a new boss in Brazilian legend Zico. The chances that came in the first half all fell the way of the home side, but then not once was Brad Guzan called on to make a save.
What proved to be Villa's only worthwhile effort of the game came in the 14th minute when the lively Albrighton's cross found fellow 19-year-old Nathan Delfouneso for a sidefoot volley comfortably taken by Igor Akinfeev.
Two gilt-edged chances went begging in the opening 10 minutes of the second half for CSKA – Milos Krasnic flashing a shot wide and Zhirkov shooting straight at Guzan after being played through. Zhirkov made amends with a thunderous drive minutes later to open the scoring before twice being denied again by Guzan. Wagner Love sealed victory with the last kick of the game and his 10th goal in this season's competition.
CSKA Moscow: Akinfeev; Alexei Berezutsky, Vasili Berezutsky, Ignashevich, Shchennikov, Krasic, Rahimic, Semberas, Zhirkov, Dzagoev, Wagner Love. Substitutes not used: Pomazan, Odiah, Daniel Carvalho, Mamaev, Erkin, Ramon, Ricardo Jesus.

Terror violence declined in Omar regime`s tenure: Governor
A decline in terrorist violence and overall development across Jammu and Kashmir have been seen in five years of the Omar Abdullah government, Governor NN Vohra said Monday.
Jammu: A decline in terrorist violence, increasing role of state police in law and order duties, new administrative units and overall development across Jammu and Kashmir have been seen in five years of the Omar Abdullah government, Governor N.N. Vohra said Monday.
Addressing a joint session of the state legislature, he said the government, which recently completed five years in office, has pursued people`s "welfare-centric policies with dedication, commitment and a sense of urgency".
"The people of the state have also made a valuable contribution towards the restoration of peace and normalcy, which are crucial prerequisites for securing growth and economic development," he said in his address which had to be curtailed due to pandemonium in the house. Copies of his address were later placed in the legislature.
Vohra said the government has decided to establish a comprehensive network of new administrative units which will include 46 new sub-divisions, 135 tehsils, and 177 community development blocks.
He said there has been a decline in incidents of terrorist violence, with terrorist related incidents declining by around 23 percent in 2013 as compared to the previous year, but added that there were 244 ceasefire violations on the borders, "which marked a large increase over the past year".
He termed it a matter for concern that as many as 53 security force personnel were killed in 2013 against 15 such casualties in 2012.
"The state police is playing an increasingly important role in maintaining law and order and undertaking counter-insurgency operations, and it is hoped that in the coming time it shall be in a position to deal with most internal security challenges on its own," he said.
Vohra stressed that security forces have been highly sensitized to ensure against any collateral damages or human rights violations while carrying out counter-militancy operations.
He said the improvement in the security environment has enabled the government to gradually reduce the visibility of the security forces and to reduce their footprints in the inhabited areas.
"As a result of this approach, 1,560 buildings - including schools, hospitals, hotels, industrial units, private buildings and cinema halls - occupied by the security forces have been got vacated and restored to their original use," he said.
Vohra also said that the state`s revenues have shown a steady increase - at Rs.5,833 crore in 2012-13 as against Rs.4,745 crore in 2011-12 - a growth of about 23 percent.
He said the state has drawn up an ambitious plan for launching new hydro-electric projects to add 9,000 MW over the 12th and 13th Five Year Plans, and is also keen to harness solar energy.
On the health sector, he said as a result of the investments in this sector, the state`s health indicators have improved considerably and are better than even the national averages.
Noting the state`s society is predominantly agricultural with nearly 70 percent of the people earning their livelihood directly or indirectly from agriculture, Vohra said the steps have been taken to increase the production of niche crops like saffron and basmati rice.

Chapter2 (v.1) - The Lockwoods
The monstrous trees of the Lockwoods were ebony silhouettes against the gloaming. Looming up like sable giants, the forest was wholly unwelcoming; a premonition set in me that I could not shake, but we pushed on anyway, only stopping once so I could reposition Simon to be more comfortable. We had been traveling deeper into the forest for over half an hour at a steady pace when the age of the mare suddenly caught up to her; her stride waned until we were going no faster than a crawl. I took the time now to assess Simon's wound; he sat against me feebly, his breath was labored but nonetheless audible. I kept an arm around him to steady the effects of the mare's slightly jarring gait and could feel the rise and fall of his breath slowly dwindle. I shook him gently and he groaned, his ability to express the extent of his anguish was being numbed by eminent death,
"Don't fall asleep," I ordered; the fear of losing my boyhood friend made my words rough. Even with the sway of the mare I could feel his head nod against my chest,
"Help me…" He breathed, the pain of speaking was discernible in his voice but to hear him speak at all was music to my ears. I thought frantically about what to tell him, what could I say to him that would help his pain? I thought miserably that my words would perhaps be the last ones he would hear; do I articulate my distress over the death he was most certainly facing? Did he even know he was succumbing to its dark embrace? I was unaware that I had been silently grieving before Simon, with effort, placed his bloodied hand on mine and whispered brokenly,
"Don't weep, Alastair." He took in a sharp and painful breath, his body tensing noticeably and then relaxing; he moaned and stifled his own sob. I held his hand desperately,
"I'm sorry…" I murmured, "I'm sorry." He shook his head again,
"Tell me…a story." He cringed with the endeavor, and from his voice I could detect the faint gurgle of blood deep in his throat. I swallowed my sobs and tried to compose myself…
"Do you remember" I choked, "when this horse was still young? When we were children?" He did not answer, but I knew he remembered. "She was beautiful… We loved horses, especially the stallions my father bought from Spain." I stroked Simon's hair and humorlessly chuckled, "Do you remember when my brother was almost trampled to death? I said at the time he deserved it…" Now that death was so close, that wish on my brother made me sick. "Do you remember how we ran as children through the mansion yelling and screaming until my mother and father and all the rest of the household could not bear us anymore? Do you remember the summers out in the gardens? We were so young…" Suddenly, as I looked out around the dim forest that had unexpectedly become familiar to me, I recalled another memory, one that had eluded me since it occurred so many years ago. "Do you remember we got lost once?" I said peculiarly. Simon made no sign of acknowledgment. I spoke as I gradually remembered the details of that day…
"…It had been my brothers and I, and they wanted to go into this forest…" The Lockwoods were not far from our lands; from my bedroom window I could see the tops of the gnarled bare trees towering in the distance. It was a summer afternoon when my brothers and I had decided to venture out into the Lockwoods; Simon had been there as well, but he stayed at the entrance, clearly frightened by the sight of the daunting forest, although he would never admit it. I was significantly younger than my brothers, who found it amusing to play tricks on me. When we had mistakenly lost our way while exploring deep in the forest they thought it would be entertaining to leave me. Upon realizing they were gone, I panicked. I remember the feeling of utter desolation and fear I experienced then. Angry tears sprouted as I went yelling for them; I fumbled over logs and streams, unsuccessfully navigating the woods that were now growing dark.
I was about to give up when I stumbled into a garden. Or, more precisely, what had once been a garden. The clearing was reminiscent of what had once been a magnificent estate; beneath the tangles of brier bushes and grasses, wilted ancient rose bushes, pale sprouts of lavender, and bouts of honeysuckle peeked at me. I cut myself on the thorns of blackberry bushes while trying to get out onto a broken path; following the path I came upon the core of this sprawling dismal and well forgotten property: A manor much larger than even my own squatted silently before me; it's architecture was redolent of an era far before my own; with it's towers, arches and small buttresses, it was more of a castle than anything else. It was clear that it had been sitting there for centuries, and though it should have been dilapidated and ravaged by time, it was in a peculiarly well-preserved condition although no indication of ongoing maintenance was visible.
Naturally, my boyish curiosity was peaked by this anomaly, but something about the place was dark and the aura tangibly oppressive; the strange feeling in my gut stopped me from exploring the vast and prodigious fortress. On the other side of the manor I located the road to my freedom: A monstrous black iron gate, intricately designed sat in my way, however I was small enough to find somewhere to squeeze through. On the other side of the gate I turned to gaze back at the strange visage of this lost sanctuary, and in one of the windows in the east wing I spotted, to my horror, a face peering back at me. I bolted from the gate and ran blindly all the way down the decrepit lane; I remember vaguely finding my way back out of the forest, but it had not been by the road, I had fled off into the thinning woods and never found the end of that mysterious trail. I had chalked up the face in the window to being the product of a boy's imagination, and now, as I sat upon my horse with the body of my dying friend in my arms, I became determined to find that abode and take refuge there.
Miraculously, however, that inexplicable estate seemed to find us. As if by some sort of twisted fate, the mare stopped complacently before the open gates of a glittering and very much alive castle. I stared in bewilderment as the memory of a decaying old demesne was replaced by the magnificent and luxurious sight I suddenly beheld; the fortress was awash with light and music: the vibrant and passionate sound of an orchestra and the laughter of men and women pervaded the air I had once remembered as being so still. The gardens were no longer in ruin; they blossomed, even in the dead of night, in rich and exotic colors and types. This haven seemed completely untouched by the outside world…protected and embraced by it's own transformed opulence. I directed the mare through the gates and down the lane until the face of that ancient sumptuous fortress stood over us; I felt Simon stiffen against me and knew that he was seeing it too,
"I…" Simon's voice was laced with some emotion I could not comprehend, "I…don't like it." He whispered strangely just as the grandly ornate entrance swung open and from the lavish and palatial soirée inside a man came out onto the wide marble steps and outstretched a hand in greeting, a knowing smile gracing his lips,
"Welcome, Alastair Clayne." He said, "We have been waiting for you,"

In my last post, I described the first part of a walk I did some time ago, following the line of the Wellington Fault from the harbour, through the CBD and the Zealandia bird sanctuary. I walked the second part of my faultline walk later that summer, tracing the faultline from Zealandia to Cook Strait.
To get to my starting point, I climb Wright's Hill in Karori and walk round the outside of the Zealandia fenceline. From here, the faultline runs down through Long Gully. Long Gully is on private land (I rang the owners for permission to walk along it), and I'm not quite sure how to get to it. I follow the fenceline to where my previous walk ended on the other side of the Zealandia fence, and then take a little path which leads to a wide clay road.
I've been hearing a constant squealing of tyres and I'm feeling a bit nervous about walking along this road. Is there some car rally circuit going on over the hills of Karori? But as I climb a little way up the road keeping well to the edge, I realise that the source of the noise is coming from a hilltop across a small valley. Two cars are doing handbrake turns on a drift strip, watched by a handful of spectators. From this distance, the cars look graceful, almost balletic. I'm amazed that two cars can make so much noise.
I carry on up the dirt track, watched by a family of goats perched on a ledge and shortly afterwards, come to a track that I recognise as leading to Hawkins Hill and the radome. This isn't where I want to be. I have another look at my map. I can see that I need to pass an airstrip, but I can't see any sign of one. Then the penny drops: the long strip of flat land on the hill top that the cars are skidding about on must be the airstrip. I turn and walk back the other way, around the edge of the valley and up towards the drift strip. The air is heavy with the smell of burning rubber as I approach, and the sound of squealing tyres and beefed-up exhausts grows louder. More cars are parked by the drift strip, with groups of mainly lads in black t-shirts and baseball caps standing around. It seems to be quite a social gathering up here in the hills and no one takes any notice of me.
I don't know anything about the origins of the airstrip, but my guess is that it might have been used during WWII to supply the coastal defences that watched over Cook Strait. There would have been no room for error, landing in such steep terrain, and the frequent wild weather and low cloud in these hills would not have helped.
The imaginatively-named Long Gully, as might be expected, is long. The dirt road undulates gently, but always straight, lined by pylons. A stream runs below the road. The hills on either side are rough rock, covered in gorse and manuka. There are goats everywhere, watching me with insolent devil eyes, silky beards tugged by the breeze. A fallow deer leaps gracefully up a bank and disappears into the scrub. The scream of tyres gradually recedes as I walk further away from the drift strip. It could be a boring walk, but I'm enjoying the softness of the dust underfoot and the gradual rise toward the promise of a distant horizon.
It's odd to think that about 30kms beneath my feet, two tectonic plates are slowly grinding against each other. I quite like the perspective it gives me, to think that a relatively minor movement in the earth's crust can cause so much havoc to our little civilisation clinging to the surface of the land.
Recent research found that the 1855 earthquake on the Wairarapa fault de-stressed the Wellington Fault and there is less likelihood of a major quake on this fault in the near future than previously thought. However, there are plenty of other faults that can cause quakes in the region, as evidenced recently.
Despite the work of modern science on mapping faults and coming up with earthquake probabilities, there are still a huge number of unknowns. Earthquakes remain unpredictable, just as they were for early European settlers, or for Māori, who believed earthquakes were caused by the god Rūaumoko, the son of Ranginui (the Sky) and Paptūānuku (the Earth), as he walked about below the Earth; or by taniwha (dragon-like monsters).
It's the unpredictability of earthquakes that I find difficult. While, I've stayed fairly calm during the (albeit relatively small) earthquakes I've experienced, I feel anxious and edgy afterwards. I imagine the ground is moving when it isn't. It's not so much the quake itself, but the fear that there might be more and bigger ones on the way.
Earthquakes violate the notion of solid ground. I can relate to Lt Morton Jones, a witness to the 1855 earthquake, who wrote that the quake was: 'accompanied by a sickening sensation and an idea of general instability and the insecurity of everything which we had ever before regarded as solid and immovable. The conviction of the insecurity of one's possessions, the uncertainty of one's best laid plans, the fundamental nature of the ties which connect us to the world'.
The road divides into several options at the end of the gully. On one side of the road, I'm watched by more deer. On the other, is a stagnant pond with a kayak next to it. The topo map isn't helpful, so I take the track that goes high to get a sense of where to go. At the top, I can see the sea, perfect and turquoise, and a long way below. The mountains of the South Island are shadowy against the horizon.
I follow the track down past a bach perched over a steep drop. A little further down the track, a group of excitable chickens starts following me. I pick up my pace to avoid getting my ankles pecked. The track winds its way downhill, past a couple more baches. I'm exhilarated by the grand sweep of the cliffs and the sea below, shifting from light to darker and deeper waters, the curve of the grey beaches, the white foam of the waves. Jagged rocks break the surface of the water.
At a bend in the track there's a huge rusty anchor with a couple of plaques beside it. I stop to read the plaques, expecting them to be memorials for shipwrecks, but they are two verses from the Bible about storms. It seems apt, because suddenly the wind, which I'd barely noticed up to now, is so strong that I can hardly stand. A plaque on the back of the stone commemorates Neil Hutchison Cardno, who died in 2004.
A line of trailbikes is making its way up the hill. I wait for them to pass and then carry on downhill. At the bottom of the track, there's a group of high-axle 4WDs, speeding along the beach in a hail of pebbles. I'm in a world of Saturday afternoon motorsports.
I'm now at the end of the faultline, at least as it passes through Wellington. From here it disappears into the waters of Cook Strait.
I walk along beside the sea towards Owhiro Bay and sit down on a flat rock for a snack. I'm surrounded by still pools full of shells. The ground is carpeted with bright green succulents and strips of rust-coloured seaweed. Huge waves crash beyond jagged rocks. The colours are strange and beautiful. After a while, I realise I am being bitten by huge mosquito-like insects. They've even gone through my shirt, and through my socks. It seems apt that there should be something evil lurking among colours too bright to be natural. I carry on, battered by the wind but exhilarated by the constant boom of surf, towards Owhiro Bay and on to Island Bay to catch my bus home.
