The Bureau Files: Series 1 EPISODE 12

The Bureau Files: Series 1 Episode 12: The Beastly Man (Part 2) Darkness had fallen and all across town silence was steadily following suit. It wasn’t that people were consciously aware of their trepidation; instead it came in a trickling of whispering, unnoticed instinct. Things had been changing recently; the streets had become that little bit more scary, the darkness that little bit more hungry, the fear just that little harder to repress. And, somewhere in the human psyche, the mounting danger had been realised. First there had been the birds, and then reports of giant sharks and demonic hellhounds, and the rumours whispered of

The Bureau Files: Series 1 EPISODE 11

The Bureau Files: Series 1 Episode 11: The Beastly Man (Part 1) Jenny Hall, the Lion’s Head Hotel landlady, prided herself on three aspects. One was her cooking, which was said to be the best in that corner of town, and another was her usually unshakable nature. The third was the respectability and good nature of her lodgers. This latter aspect was threatening to fall apart. She wasn’t one to judge – or so she claimed – but there was something definitely off about her most recent lodger. It wasn’t just that he was always covered (although it didn’t help) or that his eyes were strangely un-human (altho

The Bureau Files: Series 1 EPISODE 10

The Bureau Files: Series 1 Episode 10: Red (Part 2) Baron found himself in a darkness so deep that in blinking there was no change to the quality of the air. He could only hear his quickening breath, his gasps echoing and pounding through his brain. He swung his head from one side to the other, searching in vain for signs of life. His hand reached out and brushed against the newly-formed wall. He recoiled from it at first, and then slowly leant his palm against the surface. A brief moment passed and then he realised just what it meant. He moved to the dead end, both hands curling into fists and hammering at the stones. “Haru? HARU!

The Bureau Files: Series 1 EPISODE 9

The Bureau Files: Series 1 Episode 9: Red (Part 1) The next time Haru arrived at the Bureau, the place was a flurry of movement. She watched Baron set up another portal in the archway, grinning as the air rippled with magic. “What’s happening, Baron? Are you going somewhere?” “Indeed we are. As are you, if you would like to come.” “I’m always up for a little adventure.” She leant against the side of the archway, her arms casually crossed before her. “So... where are we going?” “To another world. We need answers, Miss Haru.” “And who is going to give them?

The Bureau Files: Series 1 EPISODE 8

The Bureau Files: Series 1 Episode 8: The Strange Case of Renaldo Moon (Part 2) Hiromi was quite sick of secrets. She was sick of surprises and half-answers and she was not amused when Haru turned up late that evening. She heard the door open while she sat in the lounge, the TV blaring out an episode of something she was only half- watching and a microwaved dinner on her lap. She leant back, staring over the back of the sofa to see her friend enter. “Hello, Haru. You’re late.” “Met a friend.” “Oh. Anyone I know?” Haru laughed. “I doubt it.” She moved aside and a man stepped forward

The Bureau Files: Series 1 EPISODE 7

The Bureau Files: Series 1 Episode 7: The Strange Case of Renaldo Moon The Lion’s Head Hotel was a small, modest building on the edge of town; once a village pub, until the town had expanded and engulfed the little settlement, it had passed through many hands until it fell into the ownership of the current landlord. Modern pressures had altered it from the Lion’s Head to the Lion’s Head Hotel, in hope that the change would tempt new customers through its tired doors but, despite this, the few rooms it had furnished lay empty. And then the stranger arrived. Wrapped up from head to toe, save for the steely glint of his s

The Bureau Files: Series 1 Episode 6: The Hound of the Bureau “You missed!” A sigh came from the figure and it stepped down from the rocks. “For your information, Dawson, I never miss.” Now that it had stepped away from the setting sun, more than just the mere silhouette of the individual could be seen. She was a tall, beautiful lady in her late twenties; slim and elegant, her face was finely cut while her dark eyes betrayed a refined kind of pride. But when she smiled, her eyes gleamed and a strange sort of sensitivity could be spotted. “But to be caught unawares without your gun, James... I thought I had t

The Bureau Files: Series 1 EPISODE 5

The Bureau Files: Series 1 Episode 5: The Hound of the Bureau (Part 1) It was midnight when the portal opened. The Bureau had been quiet for a month since the shark attack, and life had begun to settle back to its usual, leisurely pace. While there had been no adventures on their doorstep, nor any clients knocking, Haru had still come calling and her visits had become a common occurrence. But tonight... tonight something was afoot. Silently, carefully the portal opened in the second archway and a tall, dark figure stepped out. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but his nose

The Bureau Files: Series 1 Episode 4: Sunk (Part 2) ‘This is it. I’m going to die. I’m going to die alone and far away from home and it’s all because I couldn’t keep my ruddy balance.’ Haru could only stare as the creature approached; it truly was a beautiful, perfect killing machine. The great fish moved silently through the evening water, propelled by short sweeps of its crescent tail. The mouth was open just enough to permit a rush of water over the gills, but it was steadily widening, growing in readiness to engulf its prey. Its movements could almost be considered idle, for it swam with the predator&

I am a small-time fanfiction writer (who, of course, dreams of becoming a professional author...) who drowns in "The Cat Returns" and dabbles in other fandoms from time-to-time. You can find the majority of my stories on FanFiction.Net, under the same alias, but I have uploaded a couple of my stories up here. So far, it includes:

"The Bureau Files: Series 1: Ten years later, Haru finds herself dragged back into the world of Creations, catastrophes, and one dapper-looking cat." The whole series can be found here: catsafari.deviantart.com/galle….

Other fandoms I indulge in include: Doctor Who; Once Upon A Time; Sherlock; Harry Potter; Disney; Skulduggery Pleasant; Discworld; Kingdom Hearts

Thanks for reading and reviewing. You keep us writers writing!

Cat.

The Bureau Files: Series 1

0 min read

For three years I've been skulking and lurking and generally being inactive on dA - well, I've been a part of this website almost as long as I've been a The Cat Returns fan and fanfiction writer. Finally I've decided to upload one of my favourite stories - The Bureau Files - to this site. Due to the formatting structures and suchlike, each chapter takes quite a long time to edit and post, which is why it's been so long in the doing, but I hope that by the end of the month I shall have all the episodes up in time for the second series - which is going to be posted on FFnet in late August/early September. You can find the folder with all the
