Chapter 17

We had an unwelcome visitor waiting for us when we returned to Henrietta’s house.

Gethin Devlin was sitting in one of the armchairs with Tobias on his knee. Tobias was struggling to get free, but the skinny vampire had a firm hold on him. I silently cursed myself for forgetting to put the vampire-repellent spell on Tobias.

“Ah, there you are,” Gethin said pleasantly. “We’ve been waiting a while for you, haven’t we, Tobias? Take a seat. We’ve got something to discuss.”

Tobias called out, “Don’t talk to him!”

“Hush now,” Gethin said to the wriggling cat. “And keep still. I don’t want to break your little bones, but I will if you don’t keep still.”

“Let Tobias go,” I said slowly. “He’s done nothing wrong.”

“He’s keeping something from me. Something important.” Gethin stroked Tobias’ back roughly. “I told you to sit down.”

Stanley and I remained standing.

Anger flickered in Gethin’s eyes. “I could force you to sit down.”

“No, you can’t,” I told him. “Why are you here?”

“I’m here to collect my belongings.” Gethin continued stroking Tobias heavily. “I paid good money for the products I ordered from Henrietta. I’m not leaving until I have them.”

“What products?” I asked.

Gethin laughed. “As if I’m going to tell you. Tobias knows where they are but he refuses to tell me. He’s being very stubborn, but I’m convinced he’ll give me the information I need very soon.”

Tobias said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! Henrietta would never do work for you! Never!”

“Oh, she did. She was happy to do it. She was happy to take my money too. Come on, cat, stop playing games. You know where that witch kept everything.”

Tobias tried to free himself again. “You’re lying. Henrietta was a good witch. She would never help you. Never!”

Gethin sighed with impatience. “I’ve tried the easy way with you, cat, and that hasn’t worked. Let’s try the harder way now.” His thin hands moved towards Tobias’ neck.

“You leave him alone!” I shouted. I aimed my hands at the vampire.

“Lower your hands,” Gethin commanded. “Get this cat to tell me where my products are and I’ll let him go.”

I said, “Tobias has already told you he doesn’t know where they are. Let him go.”

“He’s lying. I’ll squeeze the truth out of him.” Gethin’s hands settled around Tobias’ neck.

“No!” Stanley leapt forward onto Gethin’s knee. The startled vampire dropped his hands and Tobias jumped off and ran over to me.

Gethin let out a loud laugh and looked down at Stanley. “I knew you’d do that, you foolish cat. Cassia doesn’t care what happens to Tobias, but she cares what happens to you. Let’s see how loud you can shriek.” His hands move towards Stanley.

There was a flash of light from Stanley’s back. Gethin howled in pain and snatched his hands back. Stanley leapt off the vampire’s knee and dashed to my side.

Gethin put his damaged hands under his armpits and winced in pain. “What have you done to me?”

Stanley lifted his head, “We’re protected by powerful spells. You can’t hurt us.
