“He’s rather impatient,” I heard from behind me. It was Sela, who had decided that my back was good to rest against. The stars around us, like every other time, hadn’t shifted, but now it seemed like there were more of them. “You can say that again?” I replied as I admired the scenery. The beauty of the night sky …
chapter 6 – Part 4
Scott and Elysif entered Iscariot’s home upon his request. The walls of Iscariot’s home were covered in papers and strings that connected in a fashion that most wouldn’t be able to identify. Various papers were adorned with mathematical equations along with overhead mappings of Whitechapel. To add to the weirdness, Iscariot’s home wasn’t just the usual single room but rather, …
Chapter 6 – Part 3
Scott Langston sat at his desk holding a strange cocktail. Unlike every other time in which he favored the bottle itself, he had decided against it for once. Rather than drink it, though, he just stared at the glass with a sprig of mint resting in it, while deep in thought. Sitting on the couch reading a book on disappearances, …
Chapter 6 – Part 2
I wandered through London till I realized that I was starving, so I bought something to eat from a bakery that happened to be open. It wasn’t much, just a small pastry, but it would hold me over for a while. The feeling of guilt didn’t seem to go away no matter how long I traveled, so I decided to …
Chapter 6 – Part 1
Down by the south river, there was a boat that served as a bar for sailors, or at least that’s what most people thought. It was actually a bar where supernatural creatures could be themselves, without having to worry about any human seeing them. Although, it wasn’t outright banning humans either. Humans just stayed away because most thought it was …
Chapter 5 – Part 3
Elysif stood at the front desk of the coroner’s office. The office itself was a small building, with only a few rooms along a hallway. The walls were all white plaster, with newly replaced wooden floorboards being the nicest thing in the room. The light fixtures held many lit candles, but the fixture was coated in several thick layers of …
Chapter 5 – Part 2
Scott burst through the door of his building with a vigorless stride. Without missing a step, he continued over to Elysif’s door and began banging on it loudly. A few seconds later, the door was opened by Elysif, who wasn’t looking very pleased to be woken up so early in the morning. She hadn’t even changed out of her nightgown …
Chapter 5 – Part 1
I awoke to a knock at the door. It was roughly four in the morning, and I wasn’t very pleased with it. The chilling moist London air permeated through the various poorly sealed cracks in the apartment walls, making me want to bury myself deeper into my blankets. Much to my frustration, I knew that Scott wasn’t going to get …
Chapter 4 – Part 2
“How long were you spying on us?” Scott asked as he stepped out from behind a tree behind Compton. “A while, but I didn’t expect you to realize that I was even doing so. How did you figure out I was watching you?” Compton asked calmly, as he turned around to face Scott. He had been hiding behind in the …
Chapter 4 – Part 1
When the morning came the next day, Elysif and I woke up Scott’s lazy ass. We weren’t entirely healed, but we were good enough to go meet this Fae. Scott had decided without us that we could handle it, so he could be drunk the whole time. We didn’t have any reason to tell him no, so we just accepted …
