It was beautiful… The apple orchard went on forever. Trees were dancing with the sky. Plump, delicious apples falling all around her. It was the most enchanting thing Lotte had ever seen in her entire life. More than once she wanted to reach out and take one of those apples… to savor the flavor of crisp sweetness… But she knew she shouldn't because she was being expected for a picnic. One in which all of her new friends were waiting for her. Racing along over crunching leaves, and fresh grass,

  • You Taste Like Trouble To Me...    ~ Chapter 87 ~

    Charlotte had no idea how far back she had planned to go. At first, she wanted space, but then curiosity got the better of her, and she quickly grew determined to find the back of the property. Assuming there would be a sign or a fence, the girl continued onward, even after her feet grew numb. Apples of different colors still clung tightly to the trees forming a wall around the girl, like Christmas ornaments. They glistened as moonlight broke through the thick fog overhead. … Still, Lotte shuffled along, her back hunching against the icy breeze. She didn’t know what she planned to do once the orchard came to an end, or if she discovered that it already had and that she was currently on someone else’s property… The idea of turning back and making the journey home sounded daunting, no matter how many ways she looked at it. And her cell phone… Whose last few minutes were a haunting reminder that she needed money soon, was still sitting in her borrowed room back at the house. Sighing, t

    “Oh, David,” the moan came again. This time, Lotte was certain it was Lila. Unable to help herself, the girl moved back toward the small crack she had made in between the doors. She was lucky that it was already growing dark and that the three in the corner weren’t able to make out her silhouette. By now, she was able to just make out that Alana was actually sitting cross-legged over the table top. The legs that Charlotte had originally thought were hers actually belonged to David. The Doctor was lying on his back, his head resting on Alana’s lap. As for Lila, she was on top of David, riding him with a slow, steady pace. “Mmm, David,” the redhead moaned again. Her rhythm slowed just a bit more, as if she wanted to make that moment last as long as she could. Shock spread through Charlotte - David was cheating on her Aunt? Yet even as the girl’s astonishment subsided, it surprised her even more that anger wasn’t even an inch of an emotion she was feeling. Shouldn’t she be enraged for

    Filing into the house, Lotte was immediately met with shouting… Brandon’s shouting. “You are such a bitch!” The younger teen roared. “Why do you have to ruin everything?” “Language,” Henry warned. “And it doesn’t sound like she is trying to ruin anything. Romy just enjoys spending time with you boys. Doesn’t that sound nice?” “Dinner is almost ready,” Levi cut in. “Grandpa, I’ll get you a plate to go.” “Thank you, sweet boy,” The older man called back. “I absolutely appreciate that. I’ll bring out my electric skillet for breakfast tomorrow morning, should anyone like to join me for pancakes.” “But I want to eat dinner with Grandpa,” Matty protested.“See!” Brandon started in again, “Even Matty doesn’t like this. Why are you so against our family spending time together?” Before Romy could answer, James and Lotte stepped into the mess. “What the hell is going on?” The muscled man demanded, his eyes already full of fire as they settled in on the drunk blonde sitting at one end of

    When David finally made it to the truck, Lotte was buckled into the middle seat, trying desperately to sit as far away from James as possible. Though they still hadn’t managed to wrap up their discussion of her living arrangements, Charlotte was grateful the man behaved himself around his brother. David was beside himself with smiles. “I can’t wait to show the boys the church. Levi is going to lose his mind. He once tried to sneak out and visit it when he was younger; however, he couldn’t find the way and came home spooked about the woods.” Lotte could sympathize. “Those woods are terrifying at night…” James eyed her, “And what was Chris talking about back there when he said you claimed to see someone in the woods?” Charlotte shrugged, “Honestly, it was probably my imagination. I had never seen bones before, it was getting dark, and I was worried about Romy and Megan…” At the waitress's name, the girl looked back toward the Diner. She could just make out the outline of Megan throu

    Leading the way out of the church, the Mayor stopped to stretch just out of reach of the soft rain droplets hitting against the stone steps. He fixed Lotte with a grin. “So are you heading back with these guys, or were you going to pull another all-nighter here?”Charlotte rolled her eyes, “Are you kidding? I have work tomorrow… Good God, do I want to bake something.”“That a girl,” The man cheered. “And don’t think this gets you out of volunteering for the winter festival… I’ll be faxing Barbara what we need.” “Faxing?” Lotte snorted. “What, are you 50 or something?” “Ah, now,” Mayor Moone scoffed. “See, and I was about to offer to carry you over all this nasty mud.” Hopping about, Charlotte had just managed to get her sneakers on and pinned Chris with a look. “You don’t think I can manage a bit of mud after everything I’ve been through the last few weeks? Your girlfriend hit me in the face, and I took it like a boss!” Just as the muscled man flinched at her words, a pair of arms

    The look David gave her was enough to chill Lotte to the bone. All of the amusement she had felt over catching Chris and Sara vanished in two heartbeats. Clenching her fists together, the girl took a deep breath and then rotated her body so she could face the Doctor. “It was very dark when we came in. Romy and I were using our cellphone flashlights… Though I know for a fact that Megan was here, and will be more than happy to discuss that with her later. If anyone else had been in the building, they had done a good job of hiding it.” A sudden popping sound to Charlotte’s left had her gazing over to James. He was also clenching his fists together, though it was clear from the expression on his face that he was doing it out of rage, not fear. “Why the fuck were the two of you out here to begin with? Did you have some kind of death wish?” Lotte sighed, “Romy wanted to see this place after hearing all about it from Lucy, Lynn, Allison, and me. My Aunt loves haunted places, and the way th

    Despite the raging bucket of ice rolling around in Lotte’s stomach, Romy somehow managed to straighten herself up with no problems. The woman didn’t even give the skeleton a proper look over as she fixed her gaze on Megan. Hands still balled into fists, the older woman growled, “What the hell was a

    Hanging out at the Diner had been just what Lotte had needed. Though Romy remained in the shadows for the rest of the time, Charlotte put all of her energy into making the other ladies laugh. By the time that they parted ways, it had been a full two hours. Sadly, the girl still hadn’t mustered the

    Both Aunt and Niece produced screams that would have woken the dead. For a long minute, Lotte had actually thought her heart had stopped and was left standing in the dark, seeing stars. It was a wonder that she had managed not to urinate all over herself and the crimson carpet. Romy, who had falle

    When the sun rose and shone through Lotte’s window, the girl stirred with confusion. Since moving to Varglow, most days have been dim, with hardly any sunlight at all. As it was her day off, Charlotte chalked this up to a good sign and rolled out of bed. There were noises from one end of the house,
