CHAPTER 9 - PAGE 8

By Christopher and Kelly
(Transcript and visual captions below}

   "Awk--," said Sanna, still a bit breathless from the stairs.
   "--Ward," said Stripes, finishing her sentence.
   The ghouls didn't hang out with vampires every day, so this modest exchange was more thrilling than it should have been. Vitus didn't know that, and found himself a bit embarrassed that he'd had them come all this way for nothing. Even while he chose his words, his mind was spinning with the ramifications of Farley's refusal. What could they be hiding? Can I handle even one more mystery tonight?
   Tabitha felt alive, the exercise of ascending the building felt raw in her sinews. She liked vampires. They looked like dolls - not much more heat presence than an honestly dead stiff. It aroused her appetite and other impulses at the same time.

In which ghoulish eyes are shining.

   "What? How? How do you know Demetri? What could he have to do with-?"
Tabitha made a cat like groan stretch across her soft palate, usurping his will to speak.
   "I dunno, Veery. I feeeeel... uncomfy in this place. 'S'too stifling and trifling," she said.
Vitus turned his back to them. You have more than a hundred years on her boy. How are you going to let yourself look foolish?
   Stripes asked, "Wot're you hittin' at, Tabby?"
   "Maybe'd feel more comfy at The Stiletto House."
Vitus turned back to them. "You want to go there dressed like that?"
   "Cor, you're one to talk!," said Sanna. "Jus' give 'em the vampy eye at th' door!"

Argh I continue having sucky health problems, so I apologize for the slow output and my absence here. I am proud to finally have gotten a full sized comic done though, with Chris' help! I like having more of the ghouls, they originally were not going to be included in the story, but now they are thanks to your votes on the comic survey! That's right, expect... GHOUL HOUSE soon. :3
