Distant Relations Update & Teaser
After months of writer's block, I've finally made it through chapter sixteen! I've sent it off to the beta and as soon as I get it back, I'll post it. In the meantime, in honor of tonight's awesome new episode of Supernatural, I decided to post a little teaser.
I don't think it's particularly spoilery for the chapter, but read at your own risk:
Xander smiled at the scene and shook his head, then turned to the house, readying to strike up a match. He stopped when he heard a faint keening. "Do you guys hear that?"
He cocked his head and moved along the side of the house, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound. He drew close to the porch and then crouched near the ground, inspecting a small hole in the side of the wall, barely large enough for a hand to fit through, that opened to a small place underneath the house. The wall around it was grooved with claw marks.
Sam and Dean stopped what they were doing and crowed around Xander as he peered into the hole.
"Be careful," Sam cautioned. "There's no telling what could be in there."
Xander squinted into the darkness, and as his eyes adjusted he was just able to make out a small shape; it looked almost like- "I don't believe it!"
