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”

Chapter 4.25 – Blossoms

Note: my game has the ‘occults keep losing their facial markings and eyes’ bug and I couldn’t be bothered to keep drawing them on manually, so there are inconsistencies in their pictures. After what had been a tiring day for all parties, Broof had been looking forward to his evening meal in the company ofContinue reading “Chapter 4.25 – Blossoms”

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 4.11 – Chasing Ghosts

Lilith settled on ground beside the wonky tent, in the dry grass and baking heat. She could just about remember how Seth had taught her to start fires a century ago, something that had finally been useful. But thinking of her ex in any way whatsoever was guaranteed to put her in a bad mood.Continue reading “Chapter 4.11 – Chasing Ghosts”

Chapter 4.08 – Vice

After casually strolling through the Windenburg countryside in a post-robbery daze, Broof and Lilith had stopped to pick up supplies at a petrol station on the route to Willow Creek. Lilith required very little to survive a week in the wilderness, so she went to freshen up while Broof bought whatever he thought he needed.Continue reading “Chapter 4.08 – Vice”

Chapter 4.06 – Night Camouflage

Broof had driven himself and Lilith to within half a mile of the Wangshaft manor, and left his car parked on a completely normal-looking residential street. They could have driven right up to the gates, or at least around the corner for a quick getaway, but Broof thought it best that the pair approach theContinue reading “Chapter 4.06 – Night Camouflage”

Chapter 4.03 – Domestic Bliss

It was all still taking some getting used to. Lilith stepped into the little cottage and the overwhelming smell of bleach was the first thing to greet her, as always. But that in itself wasn’t what caused her pause, or tied her insides into knots. “Evening, Lilith,” Broof called out from his position at theContinue reading “Chapter 4.03 – Domestic Bliss”

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”
