86: Brothers and myths
*Luca*
“That must be some kind of new record, huh Darrell ?” Martin puts down four cold beers on the wonky camping table where we all sit, sweat running down our faces. We have been struggling with the tents on the auto campers. Being stronger and faster doesn't really help here.
As we are cooling down in silence, Andreas shows up. He puts his iPad on the table and sits down. I notice how he sits stiffly and stares at the screen, but I ignore it, it has to be my parents' problem, not mine.
“So.. I was online when we drove here”. Andreas croaks without looking up.
“Okay”. Dad grumbles. “You have not told any of Your friends where we have gone, have you ?”

*Luca*Mom is waiting for us when we return. She looks nervous and has a tight look to her face, her whole body actually. She looks at me, the question clear in her eyes and I nod, making the shoulders visible fall down as she lets go of the tension.“Oh my baby boy”. She whispers and Andreas throws himself into her arms, sobbing like the kid he still is if truth be told.“Mom, where is Victor ? It is a bit too early for him to see this”. I nod towards the autocamper.“Martin has taken him and the twins up to the playground. Your father is waiting in the tent. I think it might be time for a talk”. She hugs Andreas again, and reaches out to gently rub my arm.With an arm around each of us, she leads us into the tent. If everything hadn’t been this fucked up I

*Luca*Martin stops the engine, when it is not possible to drive farther down the growel road. In front of us is some marsh land with sandy ground and small pools of water.“From here there is a bit of a way on foot”. He gets out of the car. Breathing in little hufs, checking the area for people.I join him, facing the wind. There is no fresh scent of people in the area, but I can hear the faint sounds from a house we passed half a kilometer back on the road. “Is the house going to be a problem ?”“Nah I don't think so”. Martin is listening intently. “They are too far away. And it sounds like they are on the way to bed”.&nbs

*Luca* “Can you feel anything ?” I hear Martin ask outside. Andreas answers him quickly. “No”. “I better chain you up just in case”. Martin says and out of the corner of my eye, I see how he chains my baby brother up to the other wall. “What ?” I ask when the little nerd keeps staring at me. “Sorry I just can’t help imagining how you will look. If you are like a Howling type or more like the Van Helsing ones ?” He says thoughtfully. “Can’t you just keep Your stupid... argh”. The sharp pain explodes like a gunshot in my forehead and then it pulsa
The witch and her wolf series 90: Mental contact
*Soleil*South of the hospital there is an elongated grass area, where small trees grow along the paths leading in different directions. It is a place often used by joggers, but tonight the place is empty.I suddenly remember that a man was found here a short time ago, murdered by stab wounds to his belly. Maybe people are still a bit scared to come here ? Apparently the murder had been a robbery gone wrong. It makes me think about what both Siri and Tjalfe had said. That not only supernatural monsters kill people.I look towards the small stream behind the widest path. Somewhere out there in the dark is a monster worse than the most psychotic serial killer. Somewhere out there is the dark one. A monster who isn’t just a dumb animal like the hamram, but some creature who apparently is after me. Why ? And how does Davina’s death fit into this ? The mental carpe

*Soleil*I have only just stepped onto the bike trail along the main road when the last buzz leaves me. Now when I no longer have Siri’s comforting mental blanket wrapped around me the repressed feelings start to lash at me like a whip. I stagger into a bus stop, and slump down on the bench. It is impossible to keep a single thought. Guilt, impotence and disgust fighting to take me over, until they form a United front against me, like a big flashing neon sign; It is all Sol’s fault.The bus stop starts shaking around me and I have to grab the bench so I don't slip to the ground. Earthquake ? In London ? Scared out of my mind I look at the road where a car drives by, not affected by the shaking at all. I lift a hand to brush my hair behind my ear and realise it isn’t the ground shaking. It is me. I

*Casper*“And where are you going this time ?” Natascha steps out of the office.“Why are you always breathing down my neck ? Are you jealous or something ?” I give her a cheeky laugh.“It is my job to make sure things go by the book here and I am not interested in meeting my final death because of the shit you pull”. She hisses.“And what kind of shit do I pull Miss Sidorova ?” My eyes slide down to her cleavage, it is showing off a rather nice rack. Even if she is female, the feeling in my pants tells me that I can still get a hard on for a hot woman.“Don’t play coy with me, whelp. You are nothing but a toy. When the boss grows tired of you, who do you think will have to deal with you ?” She sends me an evil glare. “So let's
The witch and her wolf series 93: Thoughs from a vampire
*Casper*I slow down as I reach the gas station. Once again I have been handed the job of surveilling that annoying bitch. Why Pusscat is so damned obsessed with her I don't get. Okay she is kind of hot, but she is like.. totally frigid. I had made a move on her in the Grotto and she did not put out at all. Why does he want her when he has me ? He says that it is all about the hunt, but I am sure there is more to it and I hate that stupid cow for it.I reach the house she lives in and walk to the edge of the grounds. As expected there is an invisible wall. I spit at it feeling agitated. The spit just hangs there for a moment, before slowly sliding down the nothing. I start giggling hysterically at the bizarre sight. What the hell, predators like me are real, so why not witches ?
The witch and her wolf series 94: Runes and dreams
*Soleil*I open the leather pouch and pour out the smooth tree slices with the carved runes. My eyes immediately go to the Thurs rune, Tjalfe’s rune, letting my finger trace over it. Gudrun had predicted a huge sacrifice was to be made to beat the dark one. Was Davina this sacrifice ? Marta had said the dark one could be a vǫlva turned dark, but then someone should have warned us. But they hadn’t warned us about Luca. Maybe Luca was also part of this sacrifice ?The last out-sitting had not told us anything. I hadn’t dared open my mind to reach for Luca, so we had given up and gone our separate ways. It was time to return to my so-called normal life and there were some loose ends that just wouldn’t let me ignore them.
