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 4.14 – 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”
Chapter 4.12 – Holy Potato!
Disclaimer: violence and badly-drawn blood/bruises. A trashy chapter by all definitions. Wasn’t it amazing what plants could do? Cleanse the air, filter out toxins, get you utterly wasted. Or, at least, wasted enough. In his dark, dingy room which was peppered with trash, discarded toys and mounds of evidence that his life was one hugeContinue reading “Chapter 4.12 – Holy Potato!”
Chapter 4.10 – Undo Button
After what had been a much more fun night of semi-naked kissing than she’d ever had with Caleb, April had walked her girlfriend back to the small cottage. It was that hazy, optimistic part of the day where the sun was just about to rise. The lights inside the cottage told April that Moon wasContinue reading “Chapter 4.10 – Undo Button”
Chapter 4.07 – Sleeping Beauty
Melinda had visited this spot numerous times since she’d been staying with Moon. These ruins, situated near the river and only a short walk from Moon’s idyllic little cottage, were beautiful, and so inspiring. Melinda could lose hours here, gazing at the crumbling arches, listening to the river flowing past her and imagining how theContinue reading “Chapter 4.07 – Sleeping Beauty”
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 3.51 – Super Magic
Disclaimer: violence, blood Thanks to Mercuryfoam for creating the fist fight animations that I couldn’t bring myself to make. Sorry that ‘yellow sim’ and ‘blue sim’ weren’t the pairing you had in mind! 😬 What is the worst way in the world to be woken up? Wyatt had experienced quite a few of them, surely.Continue reading “Chapter 3.51 – Super Magic”
