“What are you?” A beat, & ink bubbles up, words unfurling like spiders: “Perhaps once I was a man. Perhaps now I am merely a memory, stuck within these pages.” Hawthorn sits back. “I don’t have time for games,” they sigh. At least nothing’s jumped out at them. Yet. They write:

Walking by the river, Ezra spots an #unmoored punt bumping against the bank. Once painted green and gold, flaking away now, black slime at the waterline. Approaching carefully, Ezra spots the name “DATURA” carved into the bow. Pulling back a canvas cover, they find: #vss365

from the vault: #gift #vss365
Cyrus stopped yelling at me, trailing off to stare over my shoulder. A #flock of sparrows perched atop the #abandoned mill. Watching us. “Witch,” he hissed, and stalked off. I kept an eye on the birds. I couldn’t control animals. That had been Agatha’s gift. #whistpr #vssFantasy

Throwing caution to the wind, Hawthorn runs to a cluttered desk, rummaging until they find quill & ink-pot. They hurry back to the book. Flip it open on the floor. Beneath the previously-read greeting: “Do you have a question for me?” Their pen hovers over the page, then writes:

…a message to them: “Hello, Hawthorn—” The vampire immediately snaps the book closed, dropping it & skittering back—KR0N4 flails a bit at their distress. “The book…was talking to me,” Hawthorn whispers, thinking of how Ezra got possessed. Wondering if there was a solution here.

A battered book with a crumbling cover & loose, stained pages catches their eye. A personal notebook of some kind, the handwriting barely legible at times, in a strange dialect. Hawthorn picks out a few phrases when a page falls out, sliding under the shelf. On the next page is:

She casts off #horror like an old coat, walking into the dark embrace of the house—after all, she’s one of the monsters it spat out, years ago, when she left a splintered heart under splintered floorboards… Her return tonight is less defeat, more defiance. #vss365 (1/2)

She hadn’t felt cold, in her nightmares, but now a chill touches her spine as the house sighs & settles around her. The basement door creaks open. Oh, no. She’s never going down there again— “#Mother, may I…come upstairs?” she whispers, and climbs up anyway. #vss365 (2/2)

Dust & cobwebs indicate the books haven’t been touched in a while. Squinting at the spines, there seem to be a variety of subjects mashed together. Hawthorn wanders the stacks, KR0NA trailing behind them. “May I?” they ask, pointing. The clock-droid gestures: go ahead.

from the vault: #forbidden #vss365
The way was #forbidden. But Bianca woke that night with a burning #need in her heart—once she entered the palace ruins, she was overwhelmed by memories—she had ruled here, and she had died here, once upon a time. No happy endings for tyrants—but she would rise again. #2WordPrompt

“Weren’t you on guard out there?” Another shake of the head. It seems strange that such a construct was just wandering about… “Who made you?” KR0N4 taps another plate on its back: Manufactured by O.R. Nacht. “Is this his library?” Hawthorn turns their attention to the shelves…

Lore woke from smothering dreams while it was still dark. She dragged herself outside, reaching the top of a #windswept hill just as dawn kissed the edge of the world she knew. There was a taste of iron in the air; it choked her. Things were about to get much worse. #FastPrompt

“Mind the #deadfall.” I swat at a fly. “The trap or the undergrowth?” “Either, or.” Wyn laughed at my expression. “My daddy’s a paranoid one. But he’s also got the answers you want.” Of course, by the time we get there, it’s too late. “I’ll grab a shovel,” Wyn sighed. #vss365

Dusty, broken toys. An overturned #cradle. Moth-eaten blankets, curtains. Faded wallpaper featuring…ducks? Clouds? You don’t want to enter the nursery. Just another empty room in another abandoned house. You move on, floorboards creaking. A baby wails behind you. #vss365

“I am Hawthorn. Will you…will you stay here with me?” Their voice comes out smaller than they want. They aren’t used to feeling lonely, & it’s a relief when KR0N4 nods. “Truly? You won’t get in trouble?” A shake of the head. They didn’t think the clock-droid was a soldier, but…
