Phantasm Carnival Novels & Stories

I say as we turn onto Bourbon street. People are singing, dancing, drinking and having a good time. This really is not my thing, but for tonight I want to open myself up to a new experience. What is Fallon really like? I do not even know who I really am. At least not yet, but I will. "How about the Karaoke bar?" Bruce asks. I look up and see a bar with a cat on the window. "That looks interesting," I say. Bruce takes my hand and pulls me toward the bar. "It is owned by one of Umbra's girls. I am sure they know you are in town," Bruce says.

I replied to her. “Umbra stone? What was that thing again?” Glade asked our of curiosity. And he seemed pissed off, maybe tired of Belphegor’s bullsh*t. “These are stones that amplify demon’s power and can aid them in battles. Just like the space umbra stone that I managed to destroy when we fought the demon named Carria. The stone in Belphegor’s hand right now is called the umbra stone of Phantasm,” I answered. “Phantasm. Hmmm that means it can create illusions, dreams and nightmares. But why didn’t I and Acanta notice it? I have Mind Magic and Acanta has all-knowing eyes,” Lotus fascinated. He placed his finger on his chin, cupping it.

"That's right. My sister used to say I had a dad jokes personality. I guess it rubs off on my work." Another flash of something in her eyes, something like yearning, is blinked away in a matter of seconds. "R-right. So I was thinking, why not go with an old-fashioned, spooky carnival theme?" She pushes some papers around and I notice she's not wearing any jewelry. No necklaces, rings or bracelets. The lack of baubles is at odds with the rest of her glitzy, feminine appearance. This girl holds a lot of contradictions, doesn't she? An image of me draping a gold necklace around her throat has me swallowing hard. "We could hire fortune-tellers, bring in some games and high-ticket prizes. I could

She stood with the cigar on her lips, and she walked out of her domain. ••• Lambo finished handing half of tommorow's trails to Zenith, then she fell on a chair beside her, staring at her. Zenith's face didn't leave the systems as she tried connecting with the hotel. They have to create fake passes to the hotel before tommorow, and she's trying that right now. "You're a genius, yunno I've always wanted to meet you" Lambo said, and Zenith smiled.

The invitation arrived in a plain black envelope, no return address, slipped under her apartment door like a secret. Inside: a single heavy card, embossed in silver. Velvet Rope Society Saturday, 11 p.m. One night. One rule: everything is consensual. Bring only your desire. Lila had heard whispers about the club—exclusive, hidden somewhere beneath the city, a place where the wealthy and the wicked gathered to buy and sell pleasure. She’d always told herself it was myth. Fantasy fodder for late-night scrolling.

Zizi bailed. " Promise me you'd tell me tomorrow?" "How about the day after? I'm busy tomorrow and it's likely I won't be at yours. Deal?" He raised a brow, his pink lips stretching with a smile. "Pinky promise?" I stuck out my pinky. "Pinky promise." He hooked his with mine. "I'd remind you if you forget though." I said before facing my front. " We're here." Cas said. " Finally." Zizi sighed. I looked at the huge neon sign, 'Quilox' and my stomach practically did the cha-cha slide.

Maybe she was, she seemed a lot more open after being away at college. "Where?" said Carl. It always half amused, half frightened him that sometimes he and Caroline seemed to have the telepathy thing going, and somehow he knew Caroline was going to do this. "Dover Point," said Caroline. "It's a nude beach now. They're doing a special for National Nude Day, free admission to couples and family groups." "Whoa," said Carl. "Not me." "I'm a girl, you're a boy. That makes us a couple," said Caroline. She grinned at her brother. "Don't tell me you've given up trying to catch me naked?"

she sighed, and I chuckled. With laced fingers, we went to the foyer, where I found Stormee´s family, minus Ralph. "Now you look normal." Enzo joked, and I laughed. He always said that we dressed like a Renaissance Fair in the human realm. I need to check what he means by that to know if I should take offense. Who am I kidding? I will never be offended by Enzo's jokes. We took our carriages to the carnival, and when we arrived, it was like a fairy tale come true: games, balloons, a stage for a show, rides, food, and so much more. Kids were jumping up and down while their parents smiled at their enthusiasm.

But Sebastian only laughs "Like the surprise?" "I love it!" I rock on my toes, grinning excitedly. "Then lets make the most of this night." He says, returning my grin with a smile. "But wait," I stop him before he can walk towards it. "Won't people recognize us? I thought they do some promoting or something of the Hunt participants?" "No," Sebastian shakes his head "Because unlike us, this carnival is arrarnged by humans, for humans of the town not very far from the mansion."

“He is a prince, and—” “If you can’t follow my rules, all three of you can go home.” “What about you?” My mate studies me. “Where are you going?” “I’ll be with you for a while. Then I have to meet someone.” The carnival is on the outskirts of the city. Bright, colorful, flashing lights, striped tents, and covered stalls are sprinkled throughout the field on this dark night. There are plenty of people milling about, most of them families or couples. Shifters are sensitive to consistent loud sounds, but since Derrick and Cedric have been on the battlefield for so long, they don’t really register them. And Finn was born here, so his ears have adapted. But even shifters who live in the Human Wol
