B1 — 19. Prep-Game

Rachel shifted her pants a little to better position her tail.  “Alright, Scarlet, do you remember what Mateo asked us to do?” We need to get things back under control; I need to do better at getting the information we need, but Terrell’s gang just talk about crude things.  They’re not giving up any important information. “Umm, yeah?”  Her eyes …

B1 — 18. Overconfident

Fiona studied Scarlet with reserve.  “Who’s this Reaper of Blood?” Rachel frowned; both Fiona and Scarlet were in her line of sight.  “Scarlet has something inside her; we don’t know if it’s a split personality or another being altogether, but you don’t need to worry about Scarlet.  She has it under control.” “That right…”  Fiona muttered. “If it wasn’t for …

B1 — 17. We’re Not Heroes

Rachel and Scarlet walked back to the foyer; Maria was sitting in an armchair, legs crossed, and the bodies seemed to have been moved.  Coral straightened as they entered, shifting nervously on the couch.  “Is everything—are you alright?” Scarlet breathed deeply.  “No—not really, but that can wait.  Rachel helped me calm down a bit … the Fairy Mythickin seems to …

B1 — F2. Persevere Pt. 2

Fiona motioned for her to sit as she hovered over to her.  “I guess you do, and it’s okay to rub against Erica, okay, Brion.”  He meowed with cheer as he moved to rub against Erica’s hand. “So, umm, I can talk to Brion now … like literally, I can understand him.” “This is so bizarre…”  Erica shook her head, …

B1 — F2. Persevere Pt. 1

Fiona took a step back as Brion tilted his head; he rose up on all fours.  “What’s this?” He purred. Oh my … he’s like three times my size!  A cat three times my size … he’s as big as a house! “Brion … nice, kitty…” Her spine tingled with unease.  Oh, no … he’s going to attack.  Brion’s eyes …

B1 — F1. The Struggle Is Real

Fiona frowned as she got off the plane at Miami International Airport at eight P.M.  I was only in Ireland for two days.  Honestly, what the crap is up with all these demonetization claims?  Unlocking her phone, she called her lawyer and manager, Erica Kohne; the line rang a few times before she answered. “Fiona, I’m so sorry I had …

B1 — 16. Inner Fear

Rachel was a little taken aback by Scarlet’s response.  “What—you don’t remember?” Scarlet’s eyes seemed to lose focus.  “No—I … I don’t—what happened?” “Eh?”  Maria’s brow furrowed as her luminescent horn faded.  “You were corrupted by the expired blood; you didn’t seem all that abnormal though…” “Corrupted?”  Scarlet began to hyperventilate.  “No, no, no…” She shook her head, arms starting …

B1 — 15. Grave Sealed

Rachel shuddered as she exited the portal.  It really does touch everywhere.  She did a quick scan of the room; they were in a hotel lobby, the decoration seemed expensive.  She heard people on the upper floors, but no one was on the first three levels. Maria appeared shaken as she sat on the ground, hugging herself.  Scarlet emerged from …

B1 — 14. Bonding

Rachel took a deep breath, nerves calming.  Scarlet is affected by blood corruption, but she isn’t expelling a dangerous aura.  She’s definitely different; I get the feeling she would have killed the kids if I hadn’t intervened, but she wouldn’t kill them without being provoked. Her focus didn’t leave Scarlet as Greg whispered, “We need—need to get the people out …

B1 — S2. Haunted

Scarlet fled, running down the street, she heard shouts of surprise everywhere, but it was a sixth sense that overpowering her senses, a dense, pulsing aura; fear and anxiety surrounded her.  Why is this happening to me?  I’m a monster! Her legs locked up as police cars screeched around the corner; she tumbled across the sidewalk, but there was no …
