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 4.37 – Daze
“Wakey, wakey, Sleepyhead.” Broof blinked his eyes open and rolled them around the forest until they landed on her. Lilith smiled at him. “How are you feeling?” “Ugh…” Broof made some sort of guttural mortal noise and shifted into a seated position. “Like I’ve been run over by a—” “Werewolf?” Lilith finished and patted himContinue reading “Chapter 4.37 – Daze”
Chapter 4.36 – Two Young Rebels
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 4.29 – 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”
