      Catch It

      Catch It Cover
      by Tower Curator "Dean Anderson here." Eva sat on the edge of a table, staring out the window. So far, nothing had fallen from the sky that she had been able to see. Neither had anything approached the building. In fact, the pulsing of the violet streaks had died down to their usual levels of activity. Or inactivity, as the case was. Around her, most of the students had lost their nervousness. They were going about class as normal. Even Juliana had gone back to her seat after watching and not finding anything too…

      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…

      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…

      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…
    • Assistance Rendered Cover
      by Tower Curator Juliana turned away from Eva with a slight shudder. Her skin had cracked and broken in the blast. If her hair loss had been the extent of her injuries, that would be one thing. It had taken an effort to not throw up when she first saw Eva coming up the stairs. Between her charred black skin, cracks in the char looking like a dried desert, and a red almost glow emitting from between the cracks, she did not look well. Worse, if such a thing was possible, Eva didn't even seem to notice herself. She…
    • Course of Action Cover
      by Tower Curator "Eva! You look..." "Terrible. I know." Eva let Juliana run up to her. She expected some help. Maybe assistance walking or a potion that probably wouldn't do all that much for Eva. But she stopped just short of Eva with a face full of uncertainty and fear. Without having a mirror handy, Eva couldn't tell exactly how terrible she looked. For her appearance to have stopped Juliana cold, Eva was now thinking that it was worse than she had expected. "I'm surprised you survived," Genoa said from…

      Indecision

      Indecision Cover
      by Tower Curator "Well, that's definitely the doll that I saw in Hell." Eva stepped away from the window, looking at the others. Irene and her succubus were standing towards the back of the stairwell. One was trying to look as small as possible while the other continually preened as soon as she thought someone was looking in her direction. Unfortunately for Saija, the doll standing out in the courtyard below was of far more interest to everyone. Juliana and Genoa were both forward a bit more, both looking out the…
