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...

Just Checking Up! Part Twenty-Eight: An Empty Plate and Broken Emotions!

Rip:Silks poked at her full plate, my empty plate feeling out of place. Shoving her plate away, trembling hands tugged on black leather gloves to hide the fresh burn scars. Dealing with Mary Allen had proved to be a task, her dark side consuming her good intentions. Wincing through every movement, her exhausted eyes met mine. Shame averted her eyes to the floor, her fingers drumming on the table. “Seems my appetite has simply gotten up and walked away, again.” She mumbled under her breath, her fingers tracing an angry new scar. “Time to tam...

Just Checking Up! Part Twenty-Seven: Four Seasons in a Snowglobe

Silks:Gathering up the last bit of evidence from the last raid, about twenty more members had been arrested. Wandering into a worn room, peeling ruby wallpaper drooped from years of neglect. A single snow globe with a nasty olive green horned figure intrigued me, the carved wooden base donning unique magical symbols. Adjusting my gloves, perhaps no skin contact would prevent any sort of transportation. Setting up an evidence box, one poke whisked me into a winter torture festival. Gone was the horned figure, its lack of a muscular figure dra...

Just Checking Up! Part Twenty-Six: To Find a Sister

Rip:Sitting in the hearse, Silks and I watched the snow dance in this old abandoned village. Checking the coordinates on the napkin in her hand, she chewed on her bottom lip. Playing with scars on her neck, the scratching had slowed down considerably the moment Avery stumbled into her life. “One would think that these places wouldn’t be abandoned but luck wouldn’t ever go our way.” She joked sarcastically, her slender fingers tucking the napkin back into the pocket of her thick gray winter peacoat. “Can you sense the evil or what?” Staring ...

Just Checking Up! Part Twenty-Five: The Memory of a Bell!

Silks:Cursing at all the failed bells, nothing worked. Recent missions bore fresh gauze, the lack of a bell injuring me every single time. Not to mention the traveling nightmares, a long groan escaping my lips. Stress flared up my flames, ice becoming my savior. Remembering Liz’s smile, her bell clanged in my ear. Sliding down my cabinet, early rays of the sunrise blinded me. Shielding my eyes, Bookworth’s voice had me smashing my head into the counter. “What the fuck!” I half whispered and shouted, Linz carrying him in. “You can’t pop ...

Just Checking Up! Part Twenty-Four: The Ghost's of Mother's Sin!

Rip:“Sit up!” My mother snapped hotly, her nice black truck rumbling into the forest around midnight. “Don’t tell anyone I never took you camping!” The ten year old version of my hands trembled in the view of quivering eyes. Color drained from my cheeks, clammy sweat beaded on my brow. Something smelled horrible in the truck, my shoulder length hair floating up as she squealed into a random campsite. Stranger yet, a forest green tent had been set up. Chewing on my bottom lip, her stern bun wiggled as she hopped out of the truck. Ripping ...

Just Checking Up! Part Twenty-Three: Hollow Corners

Silks:Staring brokenly at the empty chair in the corner of my bedroom, Liz’s silver bell glinted in my trembling palm. Wishing that I could call out to her, silent tears stained my cheeks. Remembering the brutal snap of our bond, a sharp jolt shattered my soul. Snow fluttered outside my window, holiday music twinkling away downstairs. Today was Christmas, Avery shouting with joy down the hall. Placing her bell on the nightstand, early morning light guided me through erasing my sorrow. Avery leapt onto the bed, his skeleton pajamas brig...
