fairy tail scenarios

Sneak peek novel 2!

I had a theory that he set everything up just to get me to act differently, to see if there was something in me that he thought I had. I don't know what he thinks he saw, I just saw an opportunity to make the noises stop, but there I was, suddenly on my first errand out of the building. Except it wasn't just an errand, it was a whole field mission that only the detectives and other experienced peers went on, and I was apparently shadowing Laurence who's going on it?

Laurence told Dove about a possible open position she could be qualified for if she wanted to graduate from the intern position, and instead of asking her for a yes or no, he added in that he needed a hand with a field assignment, subtly tricking her into shadowing him on a case like this. 

She sat silently in the passenger seat of his car as they followed the one in front, driven by the Necromancer who was also bringing some interns with him on this simple assignment. 

"These places tend to have very old buildings, and well, I'm sure you're aware that some sketchy things have happened in the past, back when people were none the wiser." The detective began filling her in as Dove stared out front. 

Her folded hands in her lap digging into her palm. 

"We got several confirmed reports about some strange movements coming from an old property, sometimes at night, other times during the day. Either way, both are when the noises and eyes of others feels scarce, and the real estate agent is getting frustrated with the lack of potential buyers." 

"Why wouldn't the regular police be called for this?" 

"Because, when a normal detective went inside the house to investigate, let's just say, he came out very exasperated and shaking. The real estate agent even investigated the property himself, claiming that it was alive and out of his control. 'I can't actually sell a living house like this, sure a haunted house but not this.' are his exact words."

"... So, he's desperate and almost going crazy?" 

The detective chuckled beside her, as they followed the car in front onto a road leading further out of town, where more weeds grow, and the older houses reside.

"Crazy is definitely what these entities are trying to make him, I believe."

"I see..." Dove stares out at the car they're following, she could see Annabelle sitting in the back seat, giving her a backwards wave from the back window, knowing the silver girl was staring. 

"I thought you and Sienna were supposed to meet..." She said with an unsure tone, but she would rather keep sounding unsure as she spoke rather than let there be awkward silence between her and someone whom she is mildly comfortable around, potentially distancing them. 

"No, she's one of the field agents we have, so she's typically gone for a while. Today was the day she'd give her report on everything and recoup, but she can also be a bit, uhh..." 

"Irresponsible? Forgetful? Skittish to loud noise?" 

"Well, forgetful, and have the urge to jump into the fight if she saw the two of them going at each other's throats." He sighed. 

After following the long road into the old neighborhoods, the two cars park at a fairly large house of two stories, made of red wood and bricks, looked like it was built in the early 1900s for a big family, at least what I could imagine from all my reading. A fence around the house to keep the kids in, big gates for the working daddy to drive through after a hard day of work, and double doors for everyone to walk in without pushing. Only it would've been a struggle for the poor mother who would've had to clean up all those windows. 

Laurence gave some instructions to Dove, while Bence did the same for the more excited interns, well mostly Annabelle and Joon, Vernon went to observe the vines that had climbed and dominated most parts of the house, Bence tried to keep the wandering boy within hearing range anyway, hoping he doesn't go wandering off like a cat.
