Botany and The Bar

by Tower Curator — Irene dug her fingers into the moist soil. The small hole grew as she wiggled her fingers. As smooth and soft as the magically modified dirt was, she could feel it grinding underneath her fingernails. She had to purchase a fingernail brush for this class alone. Her nails were clipped short and she'd long given up painting them. Other students wore gloves to avoid getting dirt on their hands. Irene's hands instantly turned into balls of sweat the moment gloves touched her. Her hand snapped back to her…

Book One Epilogue

by Tower Curator — "Spencer!" Eva crushed a glass vial in her hands. She glared up at the teacher. Or the black band of leather over her eyes glared up. "Gloves off in this class unless they're lab gloves." "I was doing fine until you shouted at me." "You'll soak up materials you don't want to walk around with." Professor Lurcher glowered down at the girl. "Gloves off." The steel spoon bent in her other hand. Grains of paradise spilled over the table. Eva grit her teeth. She threw down the spoon with a clatter…

Clairaudience

by Tower Curator — "It was trying to climb up onto the counter. I just added spikes to the bottom of my shoes and stomped on it. Professor Baxter and Sister Cross came into the room a moment later." Eva leaned back, listening to Juliana's story. She'd already heard it once, though that one was a lot different. A shame really. All the good parts were left out of this version. Of course, the audience might not be able to take the unsanitized version. Irene sat across from Eva. Her pork riblets had been shoved to the…

Juliana in the Dorm

by Tower Curator — An awkward air hung about the usual group. No one talked, no one laughed. Everyone sat around picking at their food. Everyone except for Max. He had his usual double helping of refried beans and a side of string beans. Eva wasn't sure what was up with everyone. Juliana, she could understand. The girl had barely spoken two words since Eva refused to talk about blood magics or demonology. She didn't think she had done anything to the others. None of them asked about Shalise. Either they already knew…

Book Three Epilogue

by Tower Curator — "Has she woken up yet?" Shelby stirred at the soft voice. She pulled herself out of the puddle of drool that had gathered on her sister's bed. Wiping off her cheek, she looked towards the doorway. "I don't think so. What--" An involuntary yawn drowned out her words. "What time is it?" "Ten o'clock in the morning," Jordan said as he pulled up a chair. "I was just talking with Nurse East. He said that she should be waking up anytime now." "That would be nice," Shelby said as she looked back down…

Book Two Epilogue

by Tower Curator — You saved my life. I'll spare yours. This one time. Do not test my goodwill. Eva frowned as Arachne read the three lines again. There was no signature, but it didn't take a lot of guesses to figure out the sender. Eva could only recall saving one life in her recent memory. Maybe. Zagan agreed to not kill her. As long as he was planning on following through with that, Eva didn't actually need to interfere. How Sister Cross got the note onto her pillow without either waking Eva or alerting…

Reset

by Tower Curator — Eva, hands clasped behind her back, patrolled along the edge of the ritual circle. More specifically, she paced back and forth in front of the demon hunter and the nun. While the nun had her back pressed against the tree, staring up at the eye through the portals with a slack jaw, the hunter was face-down in the dirt with her mouth slightly to one side. Just enough to endlessly spew nonsensical threats at everyone who walked by. Thankfully, Zoe had stopped by and stilled the air around her head, keeping…

Catch It

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

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…

Help from Below

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…
