Melinda had asked to have brandy at Winterfest. Her parents had argued in that playful way they did whenever they differed in their approach to parenting. Her mum had told her dad that he was corrupting her; her dad had told her mum that Melinda needed something strong to wash away the taste of dinner.Continue reading “Chapter 1.42 – Take the TV”

Chapter 1.40 – Better Days
Warning: sexual assault/abuse. Also depression, murder. Charlotte Vatore found the girl giving birth in the grounds of the house and took the baby as her own. She spared the young whore a stint in The Tower; punishment that Wilbert Wangshaft, the village leader, deemed fitting for having a child out of wedlock. Charlotte did notContinue reading “Chapter 1.40 – Better Days”
Chapter 1.39 – Behave
Caleb had screwed up. Lilith was certainly going to attempt to give him a sharp whack with the spoon of doom for allowing them all to get into this state. Especially April who was supposed to be recuperating. Faith was such a bad influence; at one point she’d been practically pouring vodka down his throatContinue reading “Chapter 1.39 – Behave”
Chapter 1.38 – Ten Thousand Lovers
April was fussing with her dress. “Do I look OK? Is it too much?” Melinda’s eyes were taking up most of her face. “You look… very um…” “Hot.” April wasn’t so sure. It had been her idea to do this; present herself like this. But the second she put the dress on all she couldContinue reading “Chapter 1.38 – Ten Thousand Lovers”
Chapter 1.36 – Easy Prey
Lilith closed April’s bedroom door and tried to fight against the desire to lie on the floor; she was drained. Feeling her way along the banister, she descended the stairs. Faith and Melinda greeted her at the bottom. “Did it work?” they asked, together. “Yes, but it’ll take a day or two for her toContinue reading “Chapter 1.36 – Easy Prey”
Chapter 1.34 – Down With That
Caleb had arrived at the billboard with the fish on it. There was definitely no sign of April. Now what? There was barely a cloud in the sky; the sun would be bright and deadly to fledgling vampires today. He walked to the verge where he assumed April had last been. The grass had beenContinue reading “Chapter 1.34 – Down With That”
Chapter 1.33 – Roadkill
“You’re not trying hard enough!” April shouted from her hiding place as Faith once again failed to flag down a passing driver. Faith bit her lip, silently fuming. April was wrong, she wasn’t trying at all. She hadn’t even stuck her thumb out for that one, let alone her leg. “I think it’s a lostContinue reading “Chapter 1.33 – Roadkill”
Chapter 1.32 – Reckless Ways
Melinda wasn’t feeling quite as spirited as Caleb clearly was, as he bounded along like some sort of undead, overgrown puppy. “Lilith will be pleased to see you. We can play some chess!” he enthused. “I’ll be terrible at it,” Melinda said, wondering what on earth she’d said or done to perk him up soContinue reading “Chapter 1.32 – Reckless Ways”
Chapter 1.31 – Spawned Somehow
“But I’m thirsty!” April whined, stomping her foot. Faith was losing her temper. “I’m not going hunting, April. If you’re really that thirsty, have one of the pouches.” “I’m not drinking that stuff!” April screeched. Faith sank her head into her hands. Even Joy wasn’t this much of a brat and she was only seven.Continue reading “Chapter 1.31 – Spawned Somehow”
Chapter 1.30 – Without Shoes
Warning: Suicidal sims, suggestion of exploitation, generally awful. 16 years earlier Caleb had been stargazing on his bench when the human had appeared. She was barefoot and without a coat in the frigid November weather; he felt even colder than usual as he looked at her. She must be lost but he didn’t know whereContinue reading “Chapter 1.30 – Without Shoes”
