50: Strange Bedfellows – Pt. 2
*Author's note: Please excuse the lighting in some sections. I experienced a crash or two and forgot to dim them/color them flame.*
A steady stream of light, yellow in color with an orange hue
beamed down onto Victoria’s face as she awakened. Still clad in her underwear,
she lay sprawled out on her extra soft silk comforter doing her best to
convince her body to move. She sat up on the edge of the bed and stretched, wincing
from the pain in her neck. Every muscle in her body felt sore but it was the
good kind. Glancing over her shoulder she found herself staring into the charming
smile and reason behind the ache in her lower back and thighs. “What?” she
asked of the cocky expression on Derrick’s face.

49: Strange Bedfellows – Pt. 1
“Nana, please answer your phone! This is close to my 10th
message and I’ve still not heard back from you.” Victoria sighed and switched
ears, successfully managing to multitask while prepping breakfast for her and
Derrick. She flipped the skillet, tossing the pancake up and catching it before
lowering the heat on the burner. “It’s really important I talk to you. I need
to know what to do next. Call me back, please.”
“Still haven’t heard from Loretta?” Derrick’s voice took her
by momentary surprise.

48: To Hell and Back- Pt. 3
*Warning: Amazingly horrific photoshop!*
“You think maybe we should have left Loretta a note, you
know, just in case?”
“Oh sure like what? ‘Hey Nana, Derrick and I teleported to a
Hell dimension but we should be back soon, pick you up a knickknack on the way
home, love you!’?”
“Well not quite as sarcastic but yeah. Her magic is more
practiced, Victoria, and if something were to go wrong here with us, we’d have
an anchor to help pull us back.” Derrick explained as the two made their way
towards the ruined cathedral. “I’m glad you’re feeling better. I was really
worried.”
“What? Oh, yeah. Sorry if I scared you. But I actually feel
stronger.”
“No, don’t be silly, Victoria. I shouldn’t have fed from
you. I could have really…I could have killed you.”

47: To Hell and Back- Pt. 2
Victoria awoke with a dark haze looming over her eyes.
Grogginess clouded her mind like thick smoke billowing from a chimney on a cold
winter’s morning. She blinked hard and shook her head to try and clear the fog.
Standing on unsure footing, she immediately stumbled into a wall, knocking over
a tray of fresh baked breads. “What? Where am I?” she wondered, dazed and
confused.

46: To Hell and Back - Pt. 1
Derrick stood as Loretta entered the den where he sat with
his head lowered into his hands thinking about the woman laid up in the back
bedroom. His eyes moved to hers solemnly and took in the grim expression of her
stare as she pinned him in place in the middle of the room. Slowly he forced
his legs to move forward coming to stop just in front of his old friend as he
glanced up the stairs in a gesturing motion. “How is she?” he asked and tucked
his hands into his pockets, removing them and anxiously folding them in front
of him.

45: The Walls Between Us – Pt. 3
“Tommy Calabrese is
currently in police custody. He is being held at the Avondale Police Department
until a bail hearing is set. In a move that shocked millions around the country
including members of his own family the long time Italian Godfather and rumored
gangster has confessed to his part in over a dozen unsolved homicides including
the recent assassination and beheading of Former Avondale Police Detective
Michael Rizzitello’s brother and sister-in-law. Stay tuned to WXKY Channel 10
News for more on this developing story.” Every station in town and even some national media outlets were all covering
the same story. Last week, Tommy ‘The Breeze’ Calabrese had turned himself in.
For many it had come as a surprise but for Victoria and Mike, it was a long
time coming.

44: The Walls Between Us – Pt. 2
“Derrick?” Victoria called as she rounded the corner to his
living room. He was sitting in his favorite chair reading and looked up at her
with a smile as she entered.
“Hello, Beautiful!”
“Oh, sorry. I didn’t know you had company. I’ll um; I’ll
come back a little later when you’re alone.”
“Victoria?” She stopped and turned to face him as he slid
from his seat and started towards her. “What are you talking about? I don’t
have any company.” Glancing over his shoulder, the man she saw sitting on the
couch beside him was gone and she gasped.

43: The Walls Between Us – Pt. 1
Victoria awoke with a start, her eyes slowly adjusting to
the ginger candlelit hue of the room she laid in as her hands rubbed over her
face. Her damp tresses swept wildly over her head and she brushed them back
sleepily as she sat up. Air from the vent above the bed licked at her exposed
flesh, causing her nipples to alert her of the cool conditions of the room and
she pulled the blanket tighter over her shoulders.
