I didn’t have the heart to watch Brandon make a mess of my bedroom, so I left him take whatever he wanted upstairs and I headed to the library. Joseph was in the study with Isaac and Trisha, while Edward took a break from keeping Cristine at bay. I found him reading online, but he disconnected the tablet right away to talk with me.
“What do you think is happening?”
I shrugged and explained to him Brandon’s theory, about Cristine’s arrival being related to Ann’s departure.
“So she’s part of the family?”
“She may be. I think your brother Henry could’ve met her mother while he was serving in Paris. The dates sort of add up.”
“You mean she’s my niece?”
“I think so. The people at the Foundation deny having correspondence or financial records that would allow us to see if your brother was in contact with Cristine’s mothe

Haunter Just Another Morning at the Manor
There was only one thing I loved more than falling asleep in Brandon’s arms, and that was waking up in his arms.It was awfully early, judging by the fading blue of the sky out my window, where I could still spot a couple of stars over the woods. Brandon was sound asleep. He had dared to remove one of his arms away from me, but only to hold my hand to his chest like he used to. I was wide awake, and I knew there was no way I could get out of bed without disturbing him. So I tried to go back to sleep. To no avail. I tried to sneak my fingers away from his soft grasp. If I managed to do it, I had a chance. I was about to make it when his hand pressed mine and his lips brushed my forehead.“Morning, kid,” he muttered, eyes still closed.Don’t ask me why, but hearing him call me that in this situation launched my romanticism through the roof. So no getting up yet. I had better things to do first. He didn’t fully wake up, he just let me
Haunter One Bold Move
We could hear Isaac’s loud voice from the third-floor landing. Plain to see he and Brandon had already set to monitor the live feeds, because he shut up the moment I opened the study door. “Come in. It’s safe,” said Joseph right away. “Thank you, Joseph,” I murmured, looking around at the mess the room was. “How is she doing?” “She throws things now and then. But she’s still where you left her.” “By the loveseat?” “Yes. Be careful.” “Wish me luck.” I traded a look with Trisha, who nodded with a quick encouraging smile. “Cristine, c’est moi, Fran,” I said, facing the end of the loveseat where I’d seen her the night before. “Can we talk?” Trisha translated. Nothing happened, so I stepped closer. The circle of spices and herbs had been blown away, but Amy had explained to me the oil worked to imprint it on the floorboards and sustain the barrier. I sat down on the floor, about thr
Haunter Under the Rug
Mike and I left Susan on the second floor, getting ready to start with my room and Isaac’s, and went on to the third floor. The poor man halted at the doorway, gaping at the mess around, speechless. I walked in, looking around too. With the two big shelves up again, the work left was plenty but easier.We decided we should start by clearing the furniture from the front half of the room, so we could pick up all the books Cristine had been throwing around and clean that side. Then we’d move everything over to that side to work on the other half of the study.We’d been working for about twenty minutes, trading occasional comments, when I thought he might know something about the water diviner marks.“D’you know if there was a well in the grounds? One that was dug shortly after the inauguration of the Manor?”Our newfound trust made him take my question like one of my usual weird inquiries, surely related to the ghosts or s
Haunter What Lies Beneath
Brandon paused his camera for a minute, just enough to hand me a tri-field meter on a handle mount that also had a GoPro to film the device readings up close.“There. You man that, I’ll shoot the whole thing.”“Yessir. Where are we going?”“Basement first.”“Shouldn’t we let Isaac and Trisha do it? I mean, at least shoot them doing it.”Brandon looked up at the ceiling, sighed, and nodded. I could see he hated stepping aside, so I grabbed the meter from the mount and handed it to him.“That doesn’t mean we can’t go check it.”He smiled, grabbing the device. “Let’s go.”It was the first time I’d ever been to the basement since we’d released Kujo, and it felt sort of weird. I mean, it was so empty. Just a regular basement full of old stuff. I didn’t realize I’d stopped a few steps in, looking around, lost
Haunter Stars Everywhere
I’m not sure whether Susan was eager to make amends or see what had happened on the third floor, but she volunteered to stay longer to clean up the study. So Mike dropped his gardening plans to lend her a hand.After lunch, I called St. Aloysius to make sure Father Thompson would be there. The old priest was waiting for us, so I helped Brandon load his truck with everything he would need for the interview and tried to send him on his way, feeling he could use a while alone. But he wouldn’t even hear about it.“I have all the time in the world alone back home,” he replied. “So go grab your jacket, ‘cause you’re coming.”“Yessir,” I murmured, spinning around to do as he said, only not that happy anymore about his bossing me around. And ranting to myself about his drama queen ways to speak. All the time in the world alone back home. Sure. Jumping from bed to bed, the bastard.As soon as we
Haunter Halfway
I followed Brandon without a word all the way up to the third floor. He made me walk into the study first and locked the door behind us. Okay, no interruptions whatsoever? What was going on?I was still looking around, amazed to see the large room completely restored in such a short time, when his arms showed up from behind me and wrapped around my chest. The warm touch of his lips brushing my ear caused me a chill.“Let’s talk now,” he whispered. “I wanna clear this outta the way.”I turned my face toward him and brought up a hand to run my fingers through his short hair, kissing him.“I love you,” I murmured.“Me too, kid.” He let go of me to go to the loveseats. “C’mon, let’s have a seat.”“Jesus, you sound awfully serious.”I didn’t dig the way he raised his eyebrows. “Because I am. Come.”Not like I had a choice. I s
Haunter Secret Currents
“Ley lines!”Brandon and I stopped dead halfway down the stairs to the first floor when Trisha jumped out of the dining room with one of her loud cries.“What?” Brandon asked, frowning.Isaac joined my friend with his own exclamations. Weren’t we lucky.“Ley lines! Underground currents of energy!”“Amy says that’s what this could be about.”“Oh, okay,” Brandon murmured.We resumed our way down and they sort of cornered us to make us go into the dining room. Brandon had his phone already in his hand.“Did you film Amy’s call?” he asked, ready to dial the medium.“Of course,” Trisha replied, taking offense.“Well, let’s film this too. Maybe she says something more, or different.”Isaac and Trisha hurried to move the tripods closer to him as I let go of his hand.“I’m gonna
Haunter Morning Run
The next morning, I leveled up in willpower and extracted myself from Brandon’s arms before the Collins arrived. I got dressed in the bathroom to avoid waking him up with my noises, tucked him in and tiptoed out of my room. Trisha and Isaac were still sound asleep too, so the Manor was amazingly quiet.The cat ball flashed the moment I paused outside the east parlor, and I went on to the kitchen with Lizzie, Cristine and the twins, who didn’t leave their new-found aunt’s side come hell or high water. Edward and Joseph joined us a moment later.I wanted to know how Cristine was dealing with her situation, and while I made breakfast, they told me that despite her deep sadness, she felt welcomed and contented with them. Seeing how we were working nonstop to figure out what had happened to her, she trusted we would find a way to help her go back to her loved ones sooner than later.They asked me about our findings, so I told them what little we act
