chapter 3 part 2



Geraldine dropped her keys on the kitchen work surface and decided coffee and then a phone call. She spooned grounds into the meshed cup of the percolator, filled it with water, and plugged in. As soon as she heard the bubbling sound she walked through to the lounge, picked up the portable phone and dialled.

“Hi Daddy.”

“Hello Geri. How are you darling, are you all right?”

“Fine Daddy thank you, are you and Mummy in fine fettle?”

“Yes thank dear, your mother is doing some washing at the moment. Gosh dear, this is a terrible line. What can I do for you?”

“Yes it is Daddy; I guess that is why the phone men are outside working. I know it’s a bit of a cheek; I’m after a bit of a favour. I really need you to do a PNC check on someone for me.”

“I see. What sort of check dear, how much do you want to know?

“Oh not the full monty by any means. Just is he known? I just want to know that he is not a bad guy. I don’t want intimate details, if he is on the up, Daddy, I would rather get the full deal from him. But if he’s a baddy, Daddy, I want to know so. I think I also want to be sure that he is not interested in me because of you”

“Well if he were, that would surprise and, actually, worry me a little. You like this man do you darling? How long have you known him?”

“You won’t believe this Daddy; I spoke to him for the first time this morning over, well, breakfast I guess you’d call it.”

Chapter 2, part 2 This month it was their turn to host and they had decided to prepare a spicy lentil soup, a Chateau Briand as the main course, followed by a fruit pie and custard, with some fine cheeses and biscuits to conclude. The rolls for accompanying the soup were rolled, kneaded, prepared and sitting on the side of the kitchen, waiting for their turn in the oven. The lentils had soaked and were now marinating in the spices ready for their transformation into soup. The butcher had delivered the meat, and the cheeses were resting in the larder. As he expected, all preparations were going exactly to plan. He had not planned for the diversion in his pocket however. The pager vibrating quietly in his pocket could potentially ruin the evening. It would require his attention be diverted from assisting his wife, and his focus to be elsewhere. “Mary, sorry dear. Just something I have to pop into the study for. Back in a jiff.” “Well don’t be long, the pastry needs doing and you know th

Day Eight The Best Laid Plans of Vampyres The four food thralls were moaning and complaining about stomach cramps. “Shit,” Vanessa said, “The one thing I forgot about was human food for the thralls, and then will need things like toothpaste, toothbrushes, toilet paper, the girls will need sanitary towels and the like. Oh shit oh shit.” “So go shopping, take the Felcan, she might like the change of scene.” “I will need a car, and I want to go south to the big Mall in Bristol, I am more likely to get lost in a crowd there. I shall have to use the housekeeper’s car when she gets here. As to money, I shall just have to get some one to give me some cash, that’ll be easy.” “You could just get the housekeeper to get what you need, she can think Lord Addled Brain has some house guests.” “That won’t work Eldred, someone is paying the bills and they will wonder why there are suddenly guests. Amanda is ok, she has been going home every day for some good old fashioned home

Day Three - Pets. Part 2 Amanda woke with the scent still in her nostrils, it was intriguing, what was it, who was it, was it another of her kind, a male? She wanted to go and search, and to do so in her feline form was the most likely to be successful, but feline form in the full of day was not wise. She knew that she had gotten away with it yesterday, but she had been holed up most of the day digesting the lamb she had eaten the night before. She had not been running around the countryside. She got up and threw her dress on and left, shouting that she was ‘not hungry’ to her mother who insisted that she have breakfast. She sniffed as she went, and her nose took her along the path towards the old Mission building. The scent was strong here, she prowled around and considered a change to her feline self, but a car going slowly past in the lane dissuaded her from the change. Ekdred’s eyes opened with a snap and he quickly slid the slab to one side and with a single bou
