Chapter 19
As the clock on the wall finally struck midnight, Elizabeth Autumn finally gave an exhausted yawn. She had been working continuously on the new information she had found only hours before. It had been a real breakthrough, a stroke of genius to compare the fibres with old age rituals. At least the human detectives would go along with this line of enquiry. She could not release her real identity or why she was sent to work within this position.
She leant heavily against the huge metal basin, her legs were aching and her eyes desperately wanted to shut. Her colleague had taken a rather desperate and angry call from one of the detective inspectors only an hour before she had stopped writing up the report. In all honesty she had forgotten to update the officers that had visited her, and she knew that Smith would be proper pissed off. As her thoughts dreamed of retiring into her soft double bed, the heavy white doors to the laboratory were pushed

Eternal damnation Prologue
He knew this was the start. The beginning of the end. He had been offered a deal he possibly could not refuse. And the reward for his services? Immortality The thought echoed in his mind. What more could he want? He trembled with excitement and anticipation. It was of course a shock when ‘they’ had approached him and opened up to him, telling him what they were and what they wanted. He was afraid at first as their dirty and ghostly appearance shocked him into a silent terror. These things were of myth and legend how could they be possibly real? He remembered those piercing yellow eyes how they looked straight through him and seemed to penetrate his inner thoughts. The ground had almost appeared to shake and move beneath him as he stood there watching them in horrific fascination. He blinked allowing himself to check if this truly was real.

A horrific scream tore through the fabric of sound and pulsed through the elegant, peaceful streets. Amongst the growing shadows heads turned to and fro in a frantic panic to locate the gurgled wail that contaminated their realm. The radiant one stood aghast as he peered down at the abomination that continued to shred its victim. A diamond tear appeared and illuminated his heavenly sculptured features. His marble hand drew to his azure tinted eye and caressed the tiny pearl of water. He stood momentarily studying this foreign emotion. He loathed this earthly dimension, it bought the worst out in him. He cast his eyes down again to the scene that appalled him. The creature had now been disturbed and bolted through the street and dived into the sewage tunnels. He watched contently as the naïve humans gathered, screaming in unison at the vision that appeared before him. He knew that he must report back to his divine leader. Th

The sound of a ringing sensation pulsating through ear drums woke Summer Brooke from her peaceful daydream. As her eyes finally began to focus, the masses of her clueless classmates stood from their weathered lecture seats, and started to shuffle out of the lecture theatre. Her professor, a middle aged woman, plump and short stared venomously at her. “Miss Brooke, can you come here please, I need to speak to you before you leave” her voice bellowed. Summer knew what this was about, that she had not completed any of her psychology study project or work expereince for the past 3 weeks. How possibly could she?

As the sun started to disappear upon the horizon, the 186 bus to Ecklemoore Village slowly came to a halt outside an old run down pub. As Summer thanked the bus driver who quickly retorted a response, she stepped off and looked up at the pub. The Whirlwind stood ablaze with light, outside her boyfriend and friends waited. A slight chill grew steadily around her, strange she thought, it was a warm night, and there was no wind? “Hey stop dreaming! Come on, the nights still young!” Jake cried. Hearing his voice Summer followed her friends inside. It was a quiet pub, the locals huddled round the open fire their conversation muffed by the crackling of the logs. As the four youngsters made their way to the bar, one turned to watch them. “Hi” said Jake, waving to grab the attention of the middle aged barman, “four double vodkas and cokes please”. “Jake! I don’t want vodka, much rather have a J20, that

The smoke from the wooden fire drifted from a nearby village and settled over the long luscious fields. The morning was cloudy, dark: dense smoke blotted out the sun and it seemed to drain the colour from everything.Summer sat up, shifting her body in the long grass of the field. She knew she was dreaming.Memories flashed abruptedly. Catching herself running outside to face Lucien who had immediately disappered into thin air. The panic that rose from her...not because Lucien had disappeared but because she wanted answers. An overwhelming feeling that she wanted to be near him. She rushed back into the house, hearing the chaos that was erupting over Hattie's slashed cheek, and then she had fallen asleep on the sofa.She tried to wake from her dream, but was imprisoned to watch the scene unfold.In front of her, women were working, their black hats bobbed as their charcoal, long black dresses swayed like shadows against the blood red ear

The fiery light of yet another hot July sunrise had began spilling through the shutters of Jake Hillmoore’s house, casting dark ethereal shadows along Summers Brookes face. Her eyes, as if reacting to such an attack flung open, and darted around like a fish. Summer tried to focus on her surroundings, the white washed walls felt like a prison. As she hauled herself up, and shuffled her way to the kitchen, a sudden crack of pain thundered inside her head, shooting aftershocks of agony to her hands and legs. As she bent over, bringing her hands up to her face she suddenly realized why she was hurting. On her small hands, dried blood had left almost a dirty and horrific stain; her nails were nearly ripped off from the chaos that had happened the night before. Her memory flooded with images of the night before events, her thoughts finally landing to the thing that she had bought home with her. As if in panic, she spun around looking f
