Jerica groaned, taking the rag and wiping her mouth before throwing it on the ground. Aerik left his arm down by her shoulder, so she grabbed it and let him ...

Jerica understood how Elias felt. Unfortunately. Each and every time she had to be Transported, she felt like her entire life was going to end. And, she wished it would ...

"Yeah, kinda, it's--" Jerica started. A paper materialized just in front of Jayk, and he snatched it out of the air. He read it quickly then looked up at them ...
