Broof had driven himself and Lilith to within half a mile of the Wangshaft manor, and left his car parked on a completely normal-looking residential street. They could have driven right up to the gates, or at least around the corner for a quick getaway, but Broof thought it best that the pair approach theContinue reading “Chapter 4.06 – Night Camouflage”

Chapter 4.05 – Skinny Punk Junkie
It had happened again. He had lost control of his meddling with a human. Only this time, it mattered. She was still out there, walking around, with a head full of his own memories. At first, he’d cursed himself for allowing her to slip away. But then, once composed, he could justify his decision. HeContinue reading “Chapter 4.05 – Skinny Punk Junkie”
Update October 18th
Dear devoted readership of 4. I really want to write the thing. I am excited for the thing, where it goes next and where it concludes. I really am. I have pages upon pages, files and folders full of AE notes, plans, scenes, jokes to include, horrors to unfold. It grows daily. Perhaps that’s overkill,Continue reading “Update October 18th”
Chapter 4.04 – Puffy
Note: A little gruesome. When Faith had imagined Britechester, with its stuffy old buildings, fancy architecture and halls full of nerds, she hadn’t imagined that she’d ever go there, not with her terrible grades. Unless she got employed as a cleaner or as a stripper for a party, or something. And Blondie was never destinedContinue reading “Chapter 4.04 – Puffy”
Chapter 4.03 – Domestic Bliss
It was all still taking some getting used to. Lilith stepped into the little cottage and the overwhelming smell of bleach was the first thing to greet her, as always. But that in itself wasn’t what caused her pause, or tied her insides into knots. “Evening, Lilith,” Broof called out from his position at theContinue reading “Chapter 4.03 – Domestic Bliss”
Chapter 4.02 – Like Flies
In the Henford countryside, all was still, all was silent for miles around Moon’s tiny cottage. But inside was another story. “I definitely look OK?” Melinda asked again, fussing with the shirt she’d tied around her hips. “Do I look like I’ve made an effort? Too much effort?” “You look lovely, dear,” Moon said soothingly.Continue reading “Chapter 4.02 – Like Flies”
Chapter 4.01 – A Great Witch
“Wyatt, you could have told me about April before this all got out of hand. We would have managed…” “Mum, please. I know I’ve messed up, I know you’re trying to help and I know you think I’m nothing but a huge, naïve idiot, but trust me; I know what I’m doing…” “…I’ll manage withoutContinue reading “Chapter 4.01 – A Great Witch”
4.00 – Interlude
Disclaimers: grief, death, trauma You bloody idiot. Don’t you smirk at me. Don’t you realise what you’ve done?! Don’t give me that ‘sacrifice’ bullshit. You’ve traumatised the poor guy. He won’t cast a damn thing! Won’t touch a cauldron. He’s almost as useless as Broof is now… He was my chance, my one real chanceContinue reading “4.00 – Interlude”
Chapter 3.53 – Botched Bloodline Pt. 2
Disclaimer: blood, death, disturbingPart 1 is here Sage ran through her house. ‘Pretty lights’ might have seemed fun and harmless to April, but Sage knew better. She really hoped there was still time. This time. “Come on, Slow Coach!” Tarragon had called over his shoulder as he’d skipped through the long grass without a careContinue reading “Chapter 3.53 – Botched Bloodline Pt. 2”
Chapter 3.52 – Botched Bloodline Pt. 1
Moon swirled her teapot in silence until she was satisfied that her tea was adequately steeped. She had been unable to sleep that night, for a few reasons. Not least because one of her cats hadn’t yet returned home after his evening bathroom trip. Restless, Moon had abandoned her attempts at sleep to go andContinue reading “Chapter 3.52 – Botched Bloodline Pt. 1”
