Arcane Society Story 01 - The Scargill Cove Case Files

He was sweating so hard. He seemed on the edge of exhaustion. It was as if he was struggling against some unseen force.”
    “Perhaps he was, dear. We all have our inner demons. I suspect that Grady Hastings has more than most people.”

    The new nightmare started that same night.
    She walked through the strange, glowing fog. She did not know who or what she was searching for, only that she desperately needed to find someone before it was too late. Time was running out. The sense of urgency was growing stronger, making it hard to breathe.
    Grady Hastings materialized in the mist. He stared at her with haunted, pleading eyes and held out a hand.
    “Help me,” he said. “You have to help me. The voices in the crystal told me that you are the only one who can save me.”
    She awoke, pulse racing. Newton whined anxiously and pressed his furry weight against her leg. It took her a few seconds to orient herself. When she did she was horrified to realize that she was no longer in bed. She was in the living room of her small condo, looking out the sliding glass doors that opened onto the balcony. The lights of the Seattle cityscape glittered in the night.
    “Dear heaven, I’ve started sleepwalking, Newton.” She sank to her knees beside the dog and hugged him close.

    The first blackmail note was waiting for her when she checked her email the next morning.
    I know what you did in the library. Silence will be maintained for a price. You will be contacted soon.
