Just Checking Up! Part Forty-Three: Green With Envy or Not!

Silks:Gier poked my shoulder, her long bangs bouncing as we stood outside a quaint New England small town. Granted I was in Hell, her three worded request had me pulling an all nighter after a long day of no leads. The cult went underground, clues often dying away before we could even touch them. Nuit hovered behind me, the rest of my spirit team remaining behind to protect Avery. Wondering what was wrong with the picture, Nuit pointed towards the abnormal amount of darkness in each home.“Madness may have claimed him.” She barely whispered,...

Just Checking Up! Part Forty-Two: A Desire For Silks!

Rip:“Mistress Silks!” A polite female voice called out, a four foot eleven cat demon stumbled out of the closet door. “I need your h-” Cocking her head at the sight of me in my simple black long sleeve shirt and jeans, the lack of Silks pissed her off. Sniffing the air, this pipsqueak was one of the Seven Sins. Light orange cat ears pinned back, her matching fluffy cat tail stiffening. Angry light orange cat demon eyes simmered with pure rage, my brow cocking in response. Fussing with her equally as orange bob, her fingers fiddled around wi...

Just Checking Up! Part Forty-One: Teleportation Madness

Silks:Standing awkwardly in my kitchen, Nuit hovered next to my spirit guide. Avery toiled away with his schoolwork, Mary Allen pointing out a couple of mistakes. Linz bounced around by his feet, Avery's black and white skull sweater pointing out his matching taste in style to mine. Shifting around in my leather bell sleeve blouse, the hem of my lace burgundy skirt brushed against my burgundy leather boots. Sensing something was off, the hair stood up on Linz’ back. Flamios slumbered from Shal’s latest training session, a bit of dread bubbli...

Just Checking Up! Part Forty: A Necessary Job!

Rip:Nuit paced around behind me, Silks and Avery were off on a weekly visit with his honorary grandmothers. Glitching in and out, the poor guy seemed way too anxious without his dear friend around. Leaning against the kitchen counter, Cal would be by any minute to join me for a lead.“Do you want to chase down a lead with me?” I offered sincerely, his head tilting to the left. “Don’t hate me for asking but can she split more of her soul?” Shaking his head no, his form solidified. Bowing his head in shame, his claws scratched at the back of hi...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty-Nine: Subverting What is Celebrated!

Silks:Staring at the violet invitation on my kitchen counter, Shal clicked up to me in an ornate bat black embroidered suit. Taking in his dress boots, my own simple black t-shirt dress felt under dressed. Scratching at my fishnet tights with my worn black boots, that curious expression frightened the shit out of me. Avery and our spirit guides were learning a few feet away with Dade hovering over them, my mother figures teaching them with brilliant smiles. Locking the sweet memory away, life’s game of dodgeball had a way of screwing me over...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty-Eight: The Fright of a King and Many Left Turns!

Rip:Pulling into an abandoned town of A-frames, the lack of snow woke up a serious concern. Parking behind a bunch of giant rocks, the rest of the team would descend upon the sight within a couple of hours. Not that I would see that, our dumb asses tearing through Hell to capture the summoned demon. Gathering our packed leather bags, Linz staying home was Silks’ decision. Tying on our collected cloaks, the idiots wouldn’t know any better. Tugging at the hem of her cotton black and white spiderweb sweater dress, our simple black business suit...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty-Seven: The Power of Connections

Silks: “I love you, my queen.” Rip sang adorably, Cal dusting off his matching dark gray suit. "The boss man demanded a meeting with us. Hang out with your dad or something. Shal has the twins, and Avery for the day as well. He mumbled something about teaching him magic. The sheer amount of paperwork should have drowned you alive. Please enjoy your day off for your strong king.” Shooting him a thumbs up, a smooch to my forehead announced him leaving. Hovering in my kitchen awkwardly, the soft cotton of Rip’s simple black dress shirt g...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty-Six: Returning to the Shadows

Rip: Drumming my fingers on a plush olive green comforter, the cheap motel held me captive while my mother was off doing some sort of business deal. Staring numbly at my thirteen year old hands, her designer bag taunted me. Fussing with my simple black t-shirt and jeans, the small town had always been tucked away in the mountains. Then again, she had a habit of taking me along on her murder journeys. Approaching the bag cautiously, a click released a sickening smell. Small fingers sent me stumbling across the dark red rug, every breath shor...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty-Five: Rescuing What is Mine!

Silks:Brewing a potion in the kitchen, Mary Allen nudging my shoulder alerted me to some sort of trouble. Maddy skidded in with sheer panic written all over her features. Knowing that she was currently in charge of a play date with Avery and Rory, my potion finishing up was a blessing. Covering up the pan, a shove to the side would have to suffice. Dade and Shal skidded into view, both of them offering to watch the twins. Tossing me Bookworth, pages fluttered open wildly. Snatching the bell sleeve of her simple baby blue shirt dress, words t...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty-Four: Cal and a Side Quest!

Rip:Hanging back, the crown had never been my goal. A knock had me rushing over to the door, Cal letting himself in. Running his hand through his hair, relief showed in his features. Glancing over at the hooded figures chatting with Silks, his haggard eyes flitted over to me. Shaking my shoulders, both of our fathers made their way to the final landing of our stairs. A long sigh drew from my lips, bewilderment mixing with an earned fear at the sight of Dade. Raising my hand, Silks motioned for me to go chat with Cal. Waving for him to follo...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty-Three: A Council and an Unexpected Meeting!

Silks:Brushing off my t-shirt, everyone else seemed to be getting ready for the next part of my job. Hunting down the council would never be a small feat, the necessity taking precedence. Yet, part of me didn’t want to come down on Hell so hard. Hating what I had to do next, a low growl rumbled in my throat. Braiding my hair to tame it, something felt off about my day. Call it intuition, every cell of me wanted to go home. Strong arms draped around my shoulders, Rip pecking my cheek. “Shal tracked down their exact location. Are you ready to ...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty-Two: The Itch of a Bad Family!

Rip:Jerking awake in a room, reflections from a nearby pool flickered underneath a peeling red door. Long nails scraping along what had to be metal lockers sent me scurrying into the deepest shadows, a quick text to Cal would allow just him to track me. Violet scales glinted in the swinging yellow light, an angelic voice nearly meeting the beauty of Silks. “Rip, your scent is heavenly.” A hungry female voice gasped desperately, a chill running up my spine. “How is my daughter doing?” Time stood still, my heart threatening to beat once m...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty-One: The Secret of Two Parents!

Silks:A gloved hand shook me awake at my kitchen counter, my leather bag swinging in Shal’s other hand. Yawning groggily, our journey together was set to begin. Popping to my feet, my worn Victorian style black boots matched my current soft mood. Adjusting the silk burgundy suit he gifted me, the Victorian details would permit me to fit in a bit better. Giving birth a couple of weeks ago landed me with a flat stomach and milk heavy breasts. Don’t forget the slightly wider hips, a bit of shame dimming my eyes. “Must you worry about your app...

Just Checking Up! Part Thirty: A Series of Surprises!

Rip:Laying next to Silks, our early session of fun had been euphoric. Snoring next to me, her fiery orange waves hitched my breath. Some shades of scarlet had blurred themselves into the vibrant waves, her ruby eyes and permanent Gothic makeup look with fangs waking up the hungry side of me every waking second. Hating that she didn’t find herself ethereal, her bump grew faster by the day. Holding the large swell, a grounding effect washed over me. Hoping to bound my soul to hers upon my death, our love could be eternal. Forgive myself for be...

Just Checking Up! Part Twenty-Nine: Don't Go In the Woods!

Silks: Standing at the edge of a sea of black twisted trees, eerie silver fog swirled into the air. A soft female voice breathed into my ear, an icy hand cupping shoulder. Seconds from slapping it away, her despair sank into my soul. Hating my compassion, dried brown blood remained on the borrowed band t-shirt from Rip. “Don’t go in there!” That same voice pleaded desperately, fresh ruby pooling around my bare feet. “Shit, he is coming!” Wondering who he was, the ghost faded away before any questions were answered. Sniffing the air, a fam...
