      Inspections

      Inspections Cover
      by Tower Curator Catherine paced around the Brakket Academy lobby. She walked up to the potted plant in the corner, turned and walked to the window, and turned back to the potted plant. With every step, she grew more and more impatient. Had Eva told her to wait in the dormitory, she might have been able to relax. But Anderson's door was right there. He could pop out at any time. Theoretically, there was nothing to fear. Catherine was free from any contracts at the moment. She wouldn't be beholden to stick around and…
    • 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…

      Crystal Courier

      Crystal Courier Cover
      by Tower Curator "To be fair, if she hadn't summoned a demon, Arachne and I wouldn't have known where to look. In fact, we had been heading in the wrong direction prior to her summoning." Both Genoa and Carlos turned away from their daughter to glare at Eva. Behind them, sitting in the living room chair like it was the hot seat in an interrogation room, Juliana looked up and gave Eva a slight smile. A smile that did nothing to offset the intensity of her parents' glares. Under other circumstances, Eva might have wilted…
    • 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…

      Help from Below

      Help from Below Cover
      by Tower Curator "A lot of help she is," Eva mumbled as she slipped her phone back into her pocket. Deep wrinkles of thought and worry lined Genoa's face. Since picking up Juliana's cellphone, she hadn't stopped pacing up and down the street. She did pause as Eva finished her call. "Nothing?" "Nel was using the armored hunter's blood to track them, assuming it is that hunter again. He died. Plus her vision was slipping as well. She only really was able to watch them thanks to her watching them non-stop since they did…
    • Captured. Again. Cover
      by Tower Curator "And-- Ohh!" Hank cried with a wince. "There goes the scout from Mount Hope. Brakket Academy's scout showed absolutely no restraint." He glanced to the side. "A little rivalry after that last event?" "Perhaps," Zoe said, watching as the boy struggled against the fleshy bindings that pinned him to a tree. Neuro stood nearby, apparently basking in his victory. Though that wasn't quite right. It was just that the cameras didn't show exactly what was going on. To be fair, Zoe doubted that being there in…
    • 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…

      New Recruits

      New Recruits Cover
      by Tower Curator Ylva and Nel popped into the room, hand in hand. Nel in her dark robes and Ylva in her white sheer dress. Eva jumped. Still leaning back in her chair with her feet propped up, she just about lost her balance and fell backwards. She managed to save herself with a quick blink to her feet just in front of the table. To the best of her memory, Ylva had never teleported on her own before. She didn't know why she hadn't expected her to be able to. Given Ylva's power level, it would be more surprising if…
    • Detours Visiting the Dead Cover
      by Tower Curator "Oh no," Eva groaned. At first she had thought it was mere coincidence. People around school, especially those in her age group, often went to the same locations. As such, it shouldn't be too odd if some people followed her around all day. They visited the same classrooms or simply had class nearby. However, most people wouldn't walk around the school after class had ended for the day. Neither would they make three complete circuits without finding their destination. Even if they were from a foreign…
    • One for the Angles Cover
      by Tower Curator "Construction?" Neuro asked with a frown, toying with of the golden triangles that adorned the tips of the demon's long hair. "Yep. Building a house maybe," Eva said with a shrug. She couldn't really think up anything else it might be. Saija's eyes narrowed to thin slits, glancing off to one side to avoid looking at anyone. Her lips curled back into a teeth-clenched grimace. "Building?" She nudged Irene in the side. "I told you we should have done that last event. How am I supposed to build…
