The morning had slipped away unnoticed and unloved, and noon was less than an hour away. Homework – maths, English, psychology and social education – was stacked in colour coded folders at the edge of her desk. Katie had tidied her room and even hoovered up the Doritos crumbs Leo had left the night before. That was enough of the domesticated life for one day.

She had considered the promise she had made Mademoiselle Romani but decided she really could not afford to lose a days’ pay. Also, she liked her job, was actually good at it, and missing work just because a dead psychic had warned her that… what? There were hands groping for her; trying to cop a feel? Well, okay, sure it might be unpleasant to watch but it was the kind of thing Katie dealt with every shift. Plus, she had that neat finger-breaking trick now. Decided, Katie stuffed her keys, wallet and phone into her miniature backpack, wriggled into the black and red long-sleeved top with SHIMMA stitched into the back of the neck and hurried for the door. Nearly made it too. “And where do you think you’re going?”

She turned her back to Dina and awkwardly pointed to the name on her shirt.

“Oh hell no. After what she said? After what you promised?”

“I didn’t promise anything.” She was careful to whisper – voices carried on this house and they were standing in the open front door- not exactly the most natural place for a conversation. “Mademoiselle Romani told me not to go there but I never said I wouldn’t.”

“But she said… fighting… and danger… the monsters… and fighting.”

“Uh-huh.”

“Don’t you think it’d be safer just to stay home?”

“Course it would.” Katie smiled and put a hand on the older girls arm, aware that she was touching one of those silver thread scars. “But I’m not losing my job for a warning we can’t even decipher.”

“It might be real though. The monsters, I mean, they might be there.”

“I’ve seen plenty of monsters lately. They don’t frighten me.”
