      Wrong

      Wrong Cover
      by Tower Curator "Hold on a moment," Eva said. She didn't get texts often. Usually only when there was an emergency. Either Zoe or Nel using Zoe's phone would send her something. Even rarer were actual phone calls. Right now, her phone was ringing. They had been right in the middle of their conversation about demon hunters, tactics, possible offensive avenues, and defensive security measures. Now somebody was interrupting it. Rude. Probably. Unless it was an emergency. In that case, Eva might be able to forgive…

      Skyfall

      Skyfall Cover
      by Tower Curator Irene stared at her phone. She had been all worried for Eva and yet Eva just hung up like it was nothing. With a joke about succubi, no less. "Last time I worry about her." "See," Saija said with a wide grin, "I told you it was nothing." "Well, not nothing. She said it was some doll that she knew. Doll," Irene scoffed. "And she has the gall to tease me about..." she trailed off with a slight cough. There was no need to mention what Eva had been teasing her about in front of Saija. Who knew how the…

      White Noise

      White Noise Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva's head spun. Everything hurt. She couldn't think straight and she couldn't see straight. The only thing she could see was a blinding whiteness. Her memories were hazy. A vague sensation of seeing something dangerous followed by pain. The crackling white in the sky. That had to be it. She saw it and had activated her shield. Had she shouted out to warn the others? No? She couldn't think properly. Everything hurt. But she was alive. She had to be. If she was dead, she would be in that hallway…
    • 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…

      Encased

      Encased Cover
      by Tower Curator Arachne hissed through her teeth. Another of her legs was lying on the ground. Attacking with them had definitely been the right choice. Arms, and the hands attached to them, were just too valuable. Especially while she was weaving webs. It hurt to lose them. When Eva had amputated her legs, she had taken several anesthetics to numb herself to the pain. Arachne hadn't. And frankly, it hadn't hurt much at all. The following weeks she had spent regrowing her legs had been more annoying than any kind of…

      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…

      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…

      Omnivore

      Omnivore Cover
      by Tower Curator Eva blinked forward, moving rooftop to rooftop. It only took a handful of blinks before she found herself in front of the creature. The creature could fly, so she had expected to be rapidly blinking over and over again just to keep up. However, it wasn't that good at it. It bobbed and dipped, barely able to keep from crashing into the ground. The tentacles lining its back behind its wings moved as if they had a mind of their own, even going so far as to gnaw on the ends of the wings. It truly was a…

      Transformation

      Transformation Cover
      by Tower Curator Staring into Arachne's vacant black eyes frosted over Eva's heart. Arachne's eyes absorbed light. There was no shiny gloss, no light from within. It was like staring into the back of her skull if she had no brain or other organs behind her carapace. Her mouth hung open, slack. No wide grin filled with pearly teeth, no displeased frown. Just a vacant stare. "Arachne," Eva said, voice barely audible even to herself in the roaring winds around the ritual circle. She turned slowly, no longer standing…
    • Juliana in the Dorm Cover
      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…
