      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…

      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…

      Guests

      Guests Cover
      by Tower Curator No one could say that Brakket Academy wasn't welcoming towards its guests. Anderson had pulled out all the stops to make them feel as comfortable as possible even with all the demons wandering around. Though with his order for the demons to remain hidden, the only obvious demonic beings were Arachne and Eva. After having her inhuman hands revealed in public, Eva had gotten her fair share of stares. Getting a few more was nothing special. And the meal was doing a decent job of distracting everyone. A…

      New Arrivals

      New Arrivals Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva's forehead throbbed. Not horribly. She had suffered through worse headaches before. The ritual to share Sawyer's senses for one and anytime enigmas were around for another. And this current headache was already subsiding to unnoticeable levels. The only reason the headache was special at all was the cause. A dozen demons were making their way from the outskirts of town towards Brakket Academy. Altogether, they weren't so bad. It was just that they had all come into Eva's range at the same…
    • Uncomfortable Attentions Cover
      by Tower Curator "Welcome. To some of you, this will be a welcome back. To others, an initial greeting. "This year, we will be making history with our students and among other schools around the country. We will be blah blah blah." Eva filled in her own words in place of the new dean's speech. She already knew what was happening. For the most part, at least. Really, she didn't know why she had bothered attending. Beginning of the year speeches were never interesting, this one least of all because of her…

      Clean Up

      Clean Up Cover
      by Tower Curator Irene stood outside, enjoying the bright sun beating down on her skin. Brakket Academy just didn't get enough sun. Doubly so given that the last two months had purple streaks in the sky. They were disturbing and unnatural. Most of her time had been spent inside as much as possible. As if that would save her from anything. Shaking her head, Irene put thoughts of Brakket Academy out of her mind. She was back home in New York and a safe distance away from everything troubling. Probably. Demons…

      Cool Down

      Cool Down Cover
      by Tower Curator The tension in Irene's muscles had to be reaching their peak. She felt like she had been exercising nonstop for the past two hours. Her body couldn't possibly tense up any further. Every impact against the shackles she had set up only caused her grip on her wand to tighten, proving that notion wrong. Every high-pitched whine had her arms shaking just a tiny bit more than they were before. Every cannon blast that followed the whine had her ears ringing and her vision blurring for a second or two…

      Leakage

      Leakage Cover
      by Tower Curator Catherine's heels clicked in a steady rhythm as she walked down the empty hallway of Brakket Academy. She considered running. The quicker she made it home, the sooner she could join in on her clan's planned raid against those pathetic humans and elves. Well, they were all humans--probably--including her own team. But her team had chosen the demonic race, so their hearts were in the right place. As it was, she was already a full half hour late because of 'secretarial duties' that she had been…
    • A Day with Irene Cover
      by Tower Curator Irene stretched out in her bed, ready to enjoy yet another day off. The diablery class hadn't met for a whole week. Not since the incident. That wasn't to say it was canceled. Just suspended. Supposedly they would be having regular meetings again on the first of March. While actively attending the class, Irene hadn't been aware of just how stressful it actually was. Between the intensity of Catherine and Eva, slipping away or making up excuses to her sister and Jordan, and the ever-present feeling of…
