I wake up in a daze. I don’t know how long it’s been since I collapsed. I examined my surroundings. I was sitting in a room with no windows, brown walls and uncovered wood floor. In front of me was a wall with posters of “Mulholland Drive” “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within” and “Josie and …

Chapter 32: Invisible War (Zoe)
I had been undercover as George Blackwell’s nurse for five months, bided my time, gathering Intel, finally got the go ahead to kill the bastard, and now the young woman who had inherited his fortune had passed out in front of me. At first I was worried she might be dying, but her pulse seemed …
Chapter 31: Nausea (Kish)
I watched my brother drive off to do, whatever it was that was more important than driving me home, leaving me in this big empty mansion with nothing to do. Not even grandmom lived here anymore. Almost as soon as my grandfather died she had packed up and left for the beach house that was …
Chapter 30: A Killer Revealed (Thalia)
Over the many centuries I’d lived I had gained a talent for intuition. Human behavior is full of patterns, observe them enough and you’ll begin to notice. This is especially true when you realize that you’re dealing with the same souls over and over again. Thus I knew as soon as Grayson’s cousin was mentioned …
Chapter 29: Investigation (Grayson)
When I was Kish’s age, I went through a phase where I practically slept all day. Now I was so busy I barely had any time to sleep. After weeks of running around Atlanta on a wild goose chase with that serial killer demon, it was nice to spend some time with my sister and …
Chapter 28: Motel (Kish)
I found out about my grandfather’s death the morning after. I was laying in the motel bed when Aunt Catherine woke me up to give me the news. The next few days went by in a blur. We stayed in the same motel killing time until the will reading, which went as my grandfather said …
Chapter 27: Inheritance (George Blackwell)
From the moment I woke up that morning, I had a strong premonition. Today was going to be the day I would die. Perhaps it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, perhaps this was how it was destined to be, all I knew was that I could feel it. In recent months I’d started thinking more about …

Chapter 26: Murder at the family Christmas (Kish)
By the time we finally arrived, after Aunt Catherine picked us up from god knows where in northeast Georgia, it was almost 5PM. I was prepared for a drama-filled evening, but what I didn’t know was that within 24 hours my grandfather would be dead. It was surreal pulling up to my grandparents’ house for …

Intermission: Diary – Sun Park Blackwell
December 24th, 2003 Finally met my husband’s family today. Ever since we moved here from Pusan after Grayson was born I’d wondered about his reluctance to introduce me, even today he seemed reluctant about it. I didn’t understand it! What could be so wrong with them? Ha! One insane day later and I now understand …
Chapter 25: Stuck in the Woods: Part II (Grayson)
“Do you really think holding the phone up like that is helping?” My sister said as we walked on the side of the road. We’d been walking for a good thirty minutes or so now and still there wasn’t even 4G service. “It’s going to take us forever to get back to civilization.” I lowered …
