Lady-Distracto

The realm of a Thousand Trees was the whole of their world. A forest that stretched farther than could be walked, or run, or crawled, or climbed, or swam, or dug. Its mighty trees reached the sky, towering high over their heads. Its stout trunks formed a barrier, a wall, shielding the realm from the great beyond. Its canopy protected them from weather and worry. It was their home, their protector, and their provider. The seasons changed, and Thousand trees might change with it. From the greens of spring, to the yellows of summer. From the orange of autumn, to the dark of winter. But always the forest continued, and the people with it. The people of Thousand Trees were many, and varied. As different and strange to one another as night, and day. The tribes of the mice, and the squirrels, of the rabbits and the badgers, of the- “But I know all this.” Berenice huffed, closing the book with a dusty thud, eliciting a squeak of surprise. “Everybody knows all this!” She sat back, bored, at

An alarm went off, sounding once, twice, three times, and a light lit up by the door. The door slid open, revealing the confused tangle of netting, levels, slides, poles, chutes, ballpits, tunnels, and climbing frames that made up the indoor play area ahead. Filled with jarring, grating, and annoying sound effects, and flashing, discordant, clashing lights, casting long, flickering shadows. Suffice to say, in the dark, with minimal lighting, it was made far more sinister. Far more threatening. Certainly it lacked the usual bright and cheery appeal it had as a children's play centre during the day. “And the clock...is...ticking!” That bloody snide voice chirped over the speaker system. “Mmrrrmmphh...” Mel grumbled, under her gag, glowering at the tinny speaker wedged into the corner of the waiting room, over the open door. All that, and the fact that she, and Caroline beside her, were tied up, and gagged. Though currently unguarded, and standing free, on their own two legs, they

“Will you be using...magic candles?” Simplicity paused, midway through her incantation and tried to hide her frustration at losing her place. She half-turned, peering over her shoulder at the uneasy looking manager, pausing in the midst of painting out the runic circle in the floor with her spray can. He looked like most managers seemed to when they thought their building was, in all probability, haunted. And they were embarrassed at having taken the steps to 'handle' it by calling someone who knew what to do about it. Balding, thinning hair, slightly overweight but in a suit that looked too big showing he'd 'lost' weight. Stress maybe. Hauntings could do that. It was the ones who 'didn't' seem bothered by it that Simplicity worried about, sometimes. He seemed to have a lot on his mind. He hadn't even given her a first look, since she arrived. Even wearing her normal outfit, her leather jacket, black silk blouse, jeans and boots, most people gave her a 'first' look. “...sure, if
