    • Hard Work Pays Off Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva couldn't be more pleased with the way things were going. The second event was coming up in two days. She didn't have to participate in it. The ritual circle was nearly finished. It wouldn't be done by the time of the second event, but would definitely be done before the third. Especially if they decided to have a longer break between events for the December holidays. With Anise and Chris both helping, their progress had been through the roof. Of course, Eva still needed to find people for the…

      by Tower Curator Eva flopped over on her bed. "Ah, I'm tired," she mumbled to nobody in particular. Nobody else was around. Juliana and Shalise had gone over to Genoa's house to watch the event. Irene, Jordan, and Shelby were all there as well, along with Saija, Srey, and Vektul. A gathering that might have had Eva worried for their safety from demon hunters had she not been so tired. Especially because she was relatively certain that Genoa had participated in the event as an antagonist to one of the…
    • Substitutiary Locomotion Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva seethed. It took a great deal of willpower to not blink behind him and take off his head. He was a student. She couldn't just kill him. Not without inviting all kinds of trouble at least. To the side, Srey edged closer to Juliana. He slipped just behind her, peeking out over her shoulder. It took Eva a moment to figure out what he was doing. Really, she should have realized based on how all the demons reacted around her. He was cowering behind a human. And he was leaving his back open to a…

      Stalkers

      Stalkers Cover
      by Tower Curator "I volunteer." Everyone in the room turned to look at Eva. Nobody knew what the event would be. Wallace Redford had been keeping extremely tight lipped about the matter. Eva knew that more than one demon had tried following him around. Probably several humans as well. Then there were the other schools which probably had their own spies. If they had found anything, they weren't sharing. They were supposed to be discussing possibilities. Personally, Eva was just hoping for straight up combat. Maybe…

      Shadows

      Shadows Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva stalked through the halls of Brakket Academy, trying to ignore the vampire following after her. He was just far enough away for it to be conceivable that he had his own business in this particular direction. That could be possible. In some twisted alternate reality, it might even be true. However, in her world, it wasn't something Eva was willing to believe. Some might call her paranoid. Those people would probably be people she had never really spoken with. People who didn't know her very…

      Preparations

      Preparations Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana took in a deep breath of the cool November air and let it back out as a long sigh. The days were getting colder. Not quite cold enough to need a heavy coat, especially not while the sun was still up, but a light jacket wasn't cutting it anymore. Winter was coming late this year, but it was still coming. Soon enough, Juliana would be spending every weekend walking through shoulder-high snow, uphill both ways. After a brief smirk at her own joke, Juliana sighed again. Just when she had been…

      Press-Ganged

      Press-Ganged Cover
      by Tower Curator "Everyone must be on their best behavior," Saija said in a mocking tone of voice. It wasn't hard to guess who she was mocking. Anderson had been running around the entire school, snapping at anything out of place. Which, in his eyes, was just about everything and everyone. Especially anyone who had their uniforms crooked, ate messily, slacked off during class, or breathed too loudly. He had landscapers come in and tidy up every visible plant around Brakket. Eva had been concerned that they might…

      Disaster

      Disaster Cover
      by Tower Curator "This is a disaster." Eva took her eyes off Arachne for the first time since the hunter died and the doll ran off. She had plugged every injury that was bleeding, either stopping the blood completely or bridging the gap between veins with solidified blood. Of course, apart from patching them up a little bit, Eva couldn't do all that much to fix Arachne's internal organs. Then again, Eva wasn't sure how much they mattered. Her brain and heart tube were still intact. So the important parts were…

      A Sixth Sense

      A Sixth Sense Cover
      by Tower Curator With a long guttural noise from the back of her throat, Arachne tried to sit up. Eva slammed her foot down on Arachne's shoulder despite the sword at her neck. The sudden move shouldn't alarm the doll too much. In fact, pretty much nothing alarmed the doll. Throughout that entire fight with the hunter, Eva hadn't noticed a single recognizable emotion cross her face. And even with a sword at her neck, Eva couldn't allow Arachne to move. The sword had come perilously close to cutting straight through…

      Trousers

      Trousers Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva dropped out of the sky, seething with her fists clenched tight as she grit her teeth together. Her final blink had carried her over the makeshift wall of the Brakket dormitory plaza. The first thing she noticed were the arachnid legs scattered about. Arachne's dismembered legs. Perhaps the source of the disturbing feeling. Or so Eva thought until she spotted the rest of the demon, the hunter, and the doll. The hunter's curved sword was buried in Arachne's stomach. Blood boiled the moment…
