    • Book Nine Epilogue Cover
      by Tower Curator "Lucy?" Eva called out as she crept into the dormitory room assigned to the demon in question. Unlike the student demons---who were all housed in the Rickenbacker---Lucy's assigned room was over in the Gillet. Eva honestly didn't think that she had ever been inside. It was eerie. She was so used to everything being where it was in the Rickenbacker that walking inside its identical twin sent shivers down her spine. Everything was mirrored. Instead of turning left at the top of the stairs, she had to turn…
    • Book Four Epilogue Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana awoke with a start, eyes stinging as a few droplets of sweat fell. Another nightmare, she thought, lifting her head from where it rested on her mother's bed. At least this one had something more than just her mother dying in various horrifying ways. It had been a reminder about something she had forgotten. Something she couldn't allow to remain forgotten. "This is not a long-term care ward." The light in the infirmary was set as low as it could possibly go without actually being off.…
    • Book Eight Epilogue Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva stood in the middle of a small clearing. Not the one a short distance from her prison. This clearing was out in the Infinite Courtyard in the center of Brakket Academy's main building. This would hopefully prove to be a much safer alternative. Or at least, more difficult to reach for the hunters. One, perhaps the more troublesome one, was dead. If Eva didn't miss her mark, the other might return with something of a grudge. Assuming she didn't starve to death because she couldn't feed herself…

      Blood

      Blood Cover
      by Tower Curator "Sarah!" Wayne hammered his fist against the heavy oak door. "Sarah! Open the door!" He rattled the handle to no avail. It was locked. "Maybe no one is home," Serena said, arms clasped behind her head as she leaned against the wall. Zoe clung to the vampire's shirt, pressing her mask up against a curtained window near the two. Since rescuing Zoe from the thralls, the younger girl had stuck close to Serena. At first it had been mere holding hands. After about ten minutes of walking, Serena…

      Beacon

      Beacon Cover
      by Tower Curator "You really can't leave?" Eva shook her head. Taking one step forward, she fell through the asphalt as if it were nothing more than an illusion and splashed into the waters of Hell. Zoe blinked, glancing left and right to try to find out where she went. Eva took a step back before her professor could panic, she moved back onto the island proper. Which only caused Zoe to jump back with a slight gasp. Closing her eyes momentarily as she let out a short sigh, she said, "You aren't just blinking away and…

      Banishment

      Banishment Cover
      by Tower Curator Just before the bull slammed into him, it stepped on a bit of rubble. The rubble moved, causing its hoof to slip. Clement's fist, and the ring on his finger, went straight over the devil's head. Using the enchantments on his boots, Clement hopped back before the bulk of the bull could crash into him. He shook off the brief sensation of nausea---a sensation that had been getting worse as the fight went on---and took a moment to catch his breath. The devil being far enough away and still picking…

      Bait and Switch

      Bait and Switch Cover
      by Tower Curator "Welcome back to Brakket Magical Academy for another night of mystery and imagination. I'm your host, Hank Hanson, and with me is the lovely Zoe Baxter, professor of theory here at Brakket Academy." "Thank you, Hank," Zoe said, trying to keep her smile as natural as possible. "Now," he said, "for those of you just joining us, a quick recap of the last event and the purpose of this tournament as a whole." As he started speaking, Zoe started tuning him out. Not enough to completely ignore him. She…
    • Back into the Fire Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva tossed the now slightly damp towel over her shoulder, not caring in the slightest where it actually landed. She exited the showers completely in the nude. Arachne followed her out at her heels. Devon still sat, snoring in his chair. For a moment, she considered waking him. After glancing at the large bruise on his forehead, Eva decided he looked tired enough to leave alone. Besides, he managed to sleep through all the noise of the showers. Never had she felt so alive. She stopped and…
    • Back in Record Time Cover
      by Tower Curator Zoe stared at the spot where the portal had been. She had been too slow. Nothing of Hell remained behind, just the smooth marble-like stone that made up the majority of the ritual circle. Not even blood remained within the portal's boundaries. Everything that was Eva was gone. A second portal had opened to swallow her legs---or what was left of them---though Zoe hadn't paid that portal so much attention. She had been focused solely on Eva's wide red eyes. She had been too slow. Zoe knelt, hand on…
    • Back Among Friends Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva slid to a stop on the sidewalk a few roads away from where they found Juliana's cellphone. She waited just long enough for Arachne to catch up. "I feel it too," Arachne said before Eva could ask. "Or rather, I no longer feel him." "Just checking to make sure I wasn't broken," Eva said with a slight nod of her head. "Think he got banished again?" Arachne's tongue ran across the edges of her carapace around her mouth, wetting them slightly. "It would be awfully embarrassing if he did. Not that I…
