Interlude – Grace Grace Okay. This was still salvageable Grace thinks as she ducks out of the thrumming rain and into the large entryway of the gatehouse at the end of the drive leading up to the Boniface estate.

Enter the Woods – 10.3
10:3 Kim snapped her gaze up to stare at Rapunzel. A whole lot of “What the Fuck” surged behind her clenched teeth. She didn’t get to word any of it because before she could just blast the woman with words more firey than any of the creatures she could call on, Siobhan blinked and leanedContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.3”
Enter the Woods – 10.2
10:2 Dead silence followed Rapunzel’s statement and then there was an outburst of sound as everyone tried to talk at once. A wave of emotion burst around the table, threatening to knock Gwen’s hair back. Metaphorically. It really threatened to make her chest explode. She had to scramble to build a second wall around herContinue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.2”
Enter the Woods – 10.1
10:1 Hello. Yeah, you. Over there. I can feel you lurking. Figured I’d say hi. Gwen brushed her finger over the bridge of her nose and squinted into the far distance. Now, I know, I’m not, she made air-quotes, real and you are. Or am I? Are you? Yeah, welcome to being me. Gwendolyn Joy.Continue reading “Enter the Woods – 10.1”
Enter The Woods – 8:24
8:24 While Gwen was ministering to Patti, Ben slid along the bookshelves and approached Prairie. He shifted his gaze from her to Kerberos. “Can you get him to follow commands?” “He really isn’t that kind of dog.” The look Kerberos gave Ben from his center head, steady with a bit of lip curl to displayContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:24”
Enter The Woods – 8:23
8:23 “We need help!” Ivan lunged forward as Prairie came tumbling out of the window. He made it across the floor in time to steady her when she stumbled slightly on the tiles. She tossed up her head, flipping her hair out of her eyes, a thanks freezing on her lips as she saw whoContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:23”
Enter The Woods – 8:22
8:22 Up or down? Dan paused on the first stair leading up to the third floor terrace and considered his options. There’d been no books on the floor leading up to the stair. Up made the most sense. Cerberus came from this direction. Plus, if he wanted to go down he’d have to backtrack passedContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:22”
Enter The Woods – 8:21
8:21 Dempsey, Gwen, Patti, and Ivan shared stories of each of their adventures, stopping to question some of the details and exclaim over others. Several times the group broke into raucous laughter as Gwen described her amazing dance prowess, complete with gyrating arms and shaking shoulders, while Dempsey just scowled, crossed his arms, and shookContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:21”
Enter The Woods – 8:20
8:20 Beatrice lowered her gaze and sighed. “My father is a scientist. Signor Giacomo Rappaccini. He is not,” she paused, looked down then back up again, “a good man, I suspect.” Siobhan gave her a steady look, encouraging her to continue, inserting just a bit of understanding into her gaze. Like, yes, some men areContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:20”
Enter The Woods – 8:19
8:19 Siobhan looked around and blew out a hard breath. This was the first time, separate from at night protected by multiple locks and several – okay many – creative alchemy traps, that she had been alone since her abduction. What before had appeared to be a beautiful, and tempting, landscape now stretched around herContinue reading “Enter The Woods – 8:19”
