As Lilith had guessed, as the full moon appeared in the sky, Bruno, who was usually the boisterous centre of attention, was nowhere to be found. Lilith knew exactly where he was. She just needed to get to him and, thankfully, Leyla was busy looking after Brodie and Mollie during the esbat celebration, meaning thatContinue reading “Chapter 4.36 – Two Young Rebels”

Chapter 4.35 – Come Home
“This coffee tastes strange.” “That’s because it’s tea.” “Oh,” Eileen looked at the cup and plucked out a piece of tea leaf. “That explains all the bits in it. Oh, Jessica, you didn’t sleep at all, did you?” Smiled at Jessica’s curious look. “I heard you tossing and turning all night.” “I’m really sorry. DidContinue reading “Chapter 4.35 – Come Home”
Chapter 4.34 – Marbles
This chapter references this one. It hadn’t taken Caleb long to ditch Faith in favour of a succulent-looking pretty thing. He had left her ‘just for a minute’ an hour earlier outside of, it had taken her a few minutes to realise, the pub that Seth had brought her to a few months prior. TheContinue reading “Chapter 4.34 – Marbles”
Chapter 4.33 – Face the Beast
Jessica had returned to her house for the first time in days. She couldn’t stay away forever. She’d only taken a handful of clothing on that night she’d fled after facing that vampire, but it wasn’t just squeezing her blossoming body into Morag’s loosest clothing or sleeping on the couch at the GliTS HQ thatContinue reading “Chapter 4.33 – Face the Beast”
Chapter 4.32 – Fifteen Hands
Note: I’ve sort of found a workaround for the whole ‘vampires lose their features’ bug, but it doesn’t work for Kitty so there are still some hastily-drawn edits here and there. Have fun spotting them. In the den of the Galloway Manor, Seth and his bloodlust brethren had been summoned, at Kitty’s command, to playContinue reading “Chapter 4.32 – Fifteen Hands”
Chapter 4.31 – Piglet
Jessica had had a terrible night’s sleep. Tossing and turning, this way and that, on Pixie’s lumpy sofa bed. She could have gone back to her cosy bed in Willow Creek, but was still somewhat terrified that a monster lay in wait for her. The nightmares she’d had had further ruined her sleep. She wasContinue reading “Chapter 4.31 – Piglet”
Chapter 4.30 – Into Darkness
“It sure feels as if you have added a lot and taken away a lot,” Kitty said uneasily, looking at the pile of curls Faith had brushed up and the blunted kohl pencil. “Are you quite sure that I look good?” “Trust me,” Faith grinned back, replacing the scissors into their sheath. “You’re going toContinue reading “Chapter 4.30 – Into Darkness”
Chapter 4.29 – Dust
Note: allusion to suicide. With Leyla’s loose supervision, Broof and Lilith were allowed to take a stroll around the swamp docks. Together. Not holding hands or anything, but Broof had brushed his knuckles against Lilith’s arm once, accidentally on purpose, and she hadn’t snarled at him. He saw that as progress. They had reached aContinue reading “Chapter 4.29 – Dust”
Chapter 4.28 – Our Identity
“It’s overcast,” April sighed, looking out to the horizon. “The first day we can go outside in forever and it’s cloudy. Boo.” “Boo,” Melinda echoed with a smile. “We’re still outside aren’t we? Let’s make the most of it. “What shall we do first?” “Arcade! Oh, wait, there isn’t one here. Um. Get an iceContinue reading “Chapter 4.28 – Our Identity”
Chapter 4.27 – A Spooky Story
Note: my game has the ‘occults keep losing their facial markings and eyes’ bug and I couldn’t be bothered to keep drawing them on manually, so there are inconsistencies in their pictures. Kitty’s second vermouth and her rendition of Flangeslap’s 5th piano concerto were rudely interrupted by the sound of Seth falling from the parapet.Continue reading “Chapter 4.27 – A Spooky Story”
