April burst into the room like the first rays of morning sun. “Good morning!” she sang. “Morning Apes.” Wyatt rubbed his temples and turned away from his effervescent daughter and back to his video game, where his character fell off the platform he’d so carefully landed on. He could sense her bubbling in his peripheralContinue reading “Chapter 4.23 – Elixir Mixer”

Chapter 4.22 – Flirt With Death
April’s towel kept slipping as she padded across the plush carpet towards Broof’s closet. Wyatt had turned in in the early hours – which is when Melinda went home – leaving April to silently exist in the house alone, trying to amuse herself. She was used to that though, that had been her whole lifeContinue reading “Chapter 4.22 – Flirt With Death”
Chapter 4.21 – Disruption
With plenty of hesitation and frustrated sighing, Lilith had finally been allowed to shower and given a change of clothing. The shower had been unheated and the dress she’d been given looked ridiculous on her, especially with her mini wellies, but Lilith was hardly about to complain in the minutes before an assessment of herContinue reading “Chapter 4.21 – Disruption”
Chapter 4.20 – The Chicken is Alive!
Lilith had been staring at the ceiling of her small wooden prison for hours, with only a slightly dazed chicken for company. But she’d had worse nights. The chicken had spent the last few hours trying to get its head through a tiny knot in the wood and Lilith had quickly tired of freeing theContinue reading “Chapter 4.20 – The Chicken is Alive!”
Chapter 4.19 – Long Gone
Melinda had been staring at Faith for so long that Faith began to wonder if she’d caused her friend to malfunction. “Are you okay?” Faith asked gently, even though the answer was written all over Melinda’s weird face. “No. I’m not ‘okay’,” Melinda huffed. “I’ve just learned that my supposed best friend is an accessoryContinue reading “Chapter 4.19 – Long Gone”
Chapter 4.18 – Forty Miles of Horseshit
Melinda had been hanging out with April and Wyatt all day and most of the night, and had taken her leave in the early hours, so that Wyatt could sleep. She’d invited April back, but April had refused, saying that she was going work on a potion using her new cauldron. Melinda might have beenContinue reading “Chapter 4.18 – Forty Miles of Horseshit”
Chapter 4.17 – Broken Dolls
Note: Caleb’s thoughts may make you want to smack him with a shovel. Caleb arrived back the mansion, torn with indecision. Should he visit Tuesday, Thursday or Friday? He couldn’t choose Sunday, his newest girl, unfortunately. She wasn’t as hooked on his allure as some of his other girls were – it took her aContinue reading “Chapter 4.17 – Broken Dolls”
Chapter 4.16 – Safe Haven
After she’d used his friend’s sister as bait to lure a serial killer, Faith thought it probably wasn’t wise to return to dorky Clifford in Britechester. She instead hitched a ride back to the city where she took refuge in an abandoned factory. She really hated being stuck inside, waiting for the sun to goContinue reading “Chapter 4.16 – Safe Haven”
Chapter 4.15 – Cold Day in Hell
Note: this one is pretty warped. Nothing that hasn’t already been alluded to, mind. Seth stirred from his sanguine induced coma and blinked at the at morning sun above him. The Bluffs, he’d been there for most of the morning, listening to the ocean, enjoying the slight ache of the sunlight on his exposed face,Continue reading “Chapter 4.15 – Cold Day in Hell”
Chapter 4.14 – A Marigold Speciality
Before they’d even fully materialised, April was squealing at a pitch that only she could reach. She had run a circle of the small house while twittering excitedly, and had disappeared upstairs to unpack the contents of her small backpack. Wyatt, who had obviously seen it all before, stayed downstairs with Melinda who, true toContinue reading “Chapter 4.14 – A Marigold Speciality”
