chapter 3 part 7



“No Daddy, stop. If there is no bad news about him, then anything good I want to find out for myself. If you had said that he was a bad guy, then I would have penned him as a con man and not contacted him again. I don’t want any more information, honestly dad, Okay?”

“..From your mother”

“Sorry Daddy, tell me.”

“She has spoken with Mrs Wilkins from the counter and knows what happened in the Post Office this morning and has explained it to me. You are seemingly the talk of the town. I understand now how you can formally meet someone on a floor. Bye darling” and with a click he was gone, leaving her standing open mouthed.

“Oh Golly.”

Geraldine was quite taken aback by the news from her father and after a moments thought decided this was not the time to leave things and let fate take a hand. She would ring Edward now, and if he was not at home, well then, fate could go on holiday for all she cared; she would keep phoning Edward until he was at home and answered his phone. She was about to reach for the phone once more when it rang, causing her to jump almost out of her skin.

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
