Dianna chuckled. "Sure you do. Did Mira ever tell you about how she came to have her curse? Or of how she lived before that?"
"I've never asked. I always figured if she wanted me to know, she'd tell me." He shrugged his wide shoulders before moving to the chair that sat in front of her desk. The office was a small room and one that seemed even smaller with him in it. Hunt nodded at Dianna as she fixed him a cup of coffee from her own private stash and then one for herself as well, before sinking down into her chair behind the desk.
"I think you need to know," she said after sipping the warm brew. "Mira hasn't had it easy, Hunt."
"None of us has, Dianna. I mean look at Beast. You'd never have known that he'd been a man with a family and a job before that Wendigo bit him. If the poison of that bite hadn't reacted strangely in his blood, he could still be out there, living life with the human race. But he's had to run and to hide for so long, he doesn't know of any other way of life."
"Yes, for someone like Beast, living here in ASP is perfect. But Mirage is different, Hunter. She had a husband and a daughter once, a long, long time ago. She'd been happy, living her life. Then a rumor was spread about her, a vicious lie made up by a woman who was jealous of Mirage and of her life. That rumor caught the ears of the gods."
"Which ones?" Hunt felt his own interest perk. He'd often wondered about what had happened to Mirage to make her the hard, almost calloused woman he'd come to know. He'd seen the hurt in her beautiful green eyes; he'd even seen the regret, though he hadn't understood it.
"Greek," Dianna answered, rolling her eyes. "I don't think anyone else would have gotten so bent out of shape for what was really no more than wasted breath. Anyway, they decided that she needed to be punished. The Greek gods are good for almost nothing, except they know how to take things too far and how to be complete asses." She shook her head and took another sip of coffee.
"So...what did they do?"

Linnea10over 13 years agoI've read a few of your stories and they keep getting better and better!
Really liking the set up here, can't wait to read it all :)
canndalmost 14 years agoMy interest is caught. I'd like to know about the curse on mirage. I wish you'd explained why they went in and killed all those vampires. What had they done. Apparently vamps aren't bad in general since one is working in the 'ASP' office. I think you could cut out a tiny bit of the banter between Mirage and Hunter allowing the story to move a bit faster but still convey their relationship to each other.
LovelyDarkLullabyover 14 years agoI've been gone for a couple of months and I just wanted you to know that yours is the first page I came to. I'm really glad you did something with these characters I read some of it when it was with the ASP stories but I like that it's more focused. I'm sorry to see that you haven't been getting the appreciation you wanted so I figured I'd bring some in while I can. Keep up the good writing.

EssaMilaneover 14 years agoI really liked the first chapter of this story. It is a great introduction to the characters. The background on Mirage is just so sad. I didn't read this when it was ASP so it is all fresh and new. I just wish that there was a little more introduction to the new world that you created. I am sure that I will understand more as I read but it does leave me a little confused. You are doing a great job writing this. :)
DianneTheReadover 14 years agoGreat writing! I'm so glad to see this being written! I love your ASP stories. They are some of your best. And the focus is wonderful!
lots of love to you,
Dianne
Anonymousover 14 years agoSome of us commented on how your previous ASP story got a bit confusing with so many couples and had asked you to focus on one at a time and yet you flat out defended your stance to write it as it was. Oh well, whoever this person is who you respect so much, kudos to that person. This rewrite is WAY better than the previous ASP story that was getting convoluted with so many side stories. I'd like to thank the person that finally convinced you to focus on one couple/story at a time.
cantfightfateover 14 years agoThis is SO much more engaging that having a million different stories in one chapter. I'm so glad you're doing this. Thanks for writing.
