The morning sun was shining on Broof and Lilith as they arrived at Joe’s bar at three minutes past eight. Broof had been pushing her to get ready since he’d woken up at five, but Lilith hadn’t been quite as keen to face the day. She would’ve stayed behind and let Broof venture into theContinue reading “Chapter 4.46 – Found a Man”

Chapter 4.45 – The Cauldron Bubbles Over
Note: some naughty bits, no nudity. Kitty dipped a finger into her little cauldron and gave it a long, slow stir. The mixture began to turn from an ashen grey to a luminous green at the contact of her talon; the viscosity and sheen changing along with it until what Kitty had was an almostContinue reading “Chapter 4.45 – The Cauldron Bubbles Over”
Chapter 4.44 – Talk to the Dead
The bearded man switched out of his politeness almost as quickly as he’d switched into it. He rounded on the bespectacled brunette. “What could you possibly have to say about my daughter?” Jessica chewed her lip. “I’ve been talking to her—” “My daughter’s dead,” Broof said bluntly. “So how exactly have you been talking toContinue reading “Chapter 4.44 – Talk to the Dead”
Chapter 4.43 – Freedom
Melinda sniffed her glass and recoiled. “This smells so much like feet.” “I think it smells like cheese.” “Exactly,” Melinda said. “Cheesy feet.” “Do anyone’s feet really smell of cheese though?” April asked, swirling the liquid in her glass. Melinda wasn’t sure why they’d opted to drink the illusion potion from wine glasses, rather thanContinue reading “Chapter 4.43 – Freedom”
Chapter 4.42 – Unfinished Business
“Are you sure this is the right location?” Wyatt scratched his greasy head. “It’s what the book said: ‘Mildred Cumberbutton, buried 300 yards east of the fifth river milestone’.” “But this is…” Lilith screwed up her nose as she took in the building before her. She’d been here before, with Chuck, but hadn’t truly appreciatedContinue reading “Chapter 4.42 – Unfinished Business”
Chapter 4.41 – In The Muck
It was the time of day when the world grew dark, but when there was a peek of sun still on the horizon. Faith didn’t know what that was called. Dusk? Or was that the morning one? Twilight? Whatever it was, it meant that standing by a window no longer hurt, and by association, herContinue reading “Chapter 4.41 – In The Muck”
Chapter 4.40 – A Worthwhile Cause
“It’s gloomy today, don’t you think?” Broof and Lilith had completed the journey in near silence, except for the occasional question from Lilith. Lilith hadn’t known that the bearded former butler could hold such a grudge – he’d always seemed so amicable and even a bit boring. This grumpy man was giving her a lotContinue reading “Chapter 4.40 – A Worthwhile Cause”
Chapter 4.39 – Toilet Water
After what had been a very lovely night of stargazing, laughter, cuddling and kissing, Melinda had taken to painting her pots all day, leaving April to her own devices for a while. But April was never bored, especially not when she was surrounded by so many fun magical things! Just that morning alone she hadContinue reading “Chapter 4.39 – Toilet Water”
Chapter 4.38 – Happy Birthday
Caleb stepped out of the shower where he’d spent the previous hour gently washing away the remnants of Friday. Or was it Monday? Caleb didn’t know. All Caleb knew was that one of his seven girls had borne the brunt of him and that he’d made a mess. And Caleb hated mess. He always had.Continue reading “Chapter 4.38 – Happy Birthday”
Chapter 4.37 – Daze
“Wakey, wakey, Sleepyhead.” Broof blinked his eyes open and rolled them around the forest until they landed on her. Lilith smiled at him. “How are you feeling?” “Ugh…” Broof made some sort of guttural mortal noise and shifted into a seated position. “Like I’ve been run over by a—” “Werewolf?” Lilith finished and patted himContinue reading “Chapter 4.37 – Daze”
