"Action—erm, I meant Enrico, was it?" I asked Deen. "The guy who looks like an actor in an action movie? He's the grandson of the governor?"

"A former governor," she corrected me. "Milandro Haynes. I’m sure Enrico Haynes is his grandson....

Erind/Deen - 5.6.3

Amber Deen Leska felt her best friend's short and thin fingers press on her arm through the towel. Surprisingly, Erind took her up on her challenge—it wasn't phrased like one, but they both knew that it was. Erind held Deen's wrist with her left...

"Uh, hello?" said the mayor's nephew, timidly raising a hand as a greeting. His eyes, which were partially covered by his messy brown hair, darted in every direction, except ours. "My name...I'm Yves. Yves that's spelled with a 'Y'."

"Hello,...

The diner wasn't what we expected. In contrast to its dilapidated signage and rundown exterior covered with peeling paint from ancient history, the inside was well-lit and fairly clean. Its age did show, with some tiles cracked, a couple of light ...

Erind/Deen - 5.6.2

It was obvious Deen had no idea what she was doing while following the martial arts instructional video. But then again, I wouldn’t either. I'd probably look like a clown if I tried this. And I was certain I'd just laugh at myself; SpookyErind w...

Fucking shit! I exclaimed in my head as a Skitter half the size of our car scuttled past. With the massive gun turret on its back, it was about the same height as the car. This was even bigger than the ones that prowled the tunnels I had ...

It was not a fun road trip.

I was wrong to assume there'd be fewer cars around this hour. We were stuck in traffic, as expected, but it seemed to be as heavy as during the daytime. Hmm, daytime? I looked at my phone. It dis...

Erind/Deen 5.6.1

(Author’s Notes: This is set in the afternoon of the day Erind and Deen went to meet Myra at Cindy's. Similar to the previous two chapters which were sequential, the next three or so chapters will also be parts of one scene. This way, we can hav...

Erind/Deen 4.54.4.3

(Author's Notes: This is a continuation of the previous chapter.)

I didn't need the future-seeing powers of Deen's Guardian Angel to know her prediction that I was going to 'love' the show would be wrong. As expected, I didn't like 'Fashioni...

5.7

The Guardian Angel is such a bullshit cheat!

I fiercely swung my fist. Deen leisurely moved away as if she had predicted my move—which she obviously fucking did. Her face showing intense concentration, she hit me back fro...

Erind/Deen 4.54.4.2

(Author's Notes: This is set in the evening of the same day as the previous chapter, the day Arc 4 ended and Erind had met SpookyErind.)

The Sunday Night news didn't have anything about a giant werewolf rampaging in the downtown a...

Erind/Deen - 4.54.4.1

(Author's Notes: The Erind/Deen Side Story will aim to keep their original personalities as much as possible, tweaking it only a bit so that this story can happen. To help with immersion, these will also be set in between chapters of the main stor...

Our drive home was pretty quiet and uneventful. It was about two in the afternoon, so most people had returned to their offices after their lunch breaks. The streets were also way emptier than usual because many chose to stay at home.

We ret...

I expected that Deen was just spouting random nonsense when she claimed she knew an Adumbrae. Maybe she'd suggest we approach Bianca for help or something? Though that scheming, silver-haired bitch wasn't an Adumbrae—that reminds me, I ...

5.4

Myra started her tale from where it all began for all of us here, albeit in different ways—with her sister, Kelsey. She admitted to Deen that her story about Kelsey's terminal illness was a lie, profusely apologizing for it, and explained that t...
