Just thought I would post a couple of posts from one of my story groups. This one has some really great writers!!

Scarlett strode into the security office with Spike close beside her. “Well, that was a waste.” She glanced sideways at the elder vampire. “Except that I learned that William here has no fans, even amongst the undead.” She sat down at her regular chair at the head of the table. “Belle, good to see you.” She frowned just a little, her brows knitting together. “Did you learn anything.”
Belle nodded. “I learned we’re facing ‘The Dweller Below’.
“Oh, bloody hell,” Spike said, his voice a harsh whisper. “Maybe I was better off dead.”

>An elder witch explains about the ‘Dweller Below’ to Scarlett and Rueben
The proprietor frowned. “It would take the most incredible spell, an unbinding of massive proportions.” She looked over to Rueben. “You know how all things are linked together. The ancient spells which hold the Dweller Below are woven into the very fabric of the land.” The proprietor shook her head. “No, there doesn’t exist the power in the world today to create an dimensional undoing on that scale.”
“But if there were?” Rueben said, fixing his stare on the elder wicca. “What then?”
The woman blanched at the thought. “Then, student of demons, it could be the end of everything!”
“Always with the apocalypse.” Scarlett muttered, “Why can’t the bad guys take up another hobby, like playing Dungeons and Dragons over a pint of beer and nachos or something.”
