Note: bit of blood. The GliTS headquarters, with its confusing layout and whimsical décor, was one of the few places where Jessica was beginning to feel relaxed. Surrounded by her foil-headed cohorts, she was feeding off their enthusiasm as they chattered on excitedly about their day. “And when Lilith showed us her fangs, I nearlyContinue reading “Chapter 4.49 – Parasite”

Chapter 4.47 – Haywire
Jessica Spoon was many things, but an idiot was not one of them. She recognised that Broof and Lilith were not truly surprised when the house materialised. Nothing about their expressions of disbelief was genuine. It meant one of three things. One, that the house was now visible to everyone – but then why wouldContinue reading “Chapter 4.47 – Haywire”
Chapter 4.46 – Found a Man
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 4.44 – 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 4.40 – 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 4.35 – 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 4.33 – 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 4.31 – 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”
