Chapter
Nine
Because it was a Friday night, Lisa purposely didn’t sleep. She meditated and researched demonology to brush up on her skills. While in her father’s old library, she could feel a presence watching her.
“It’s not nice to lurk in the shadows, Fairest.” She turned away from the wall of books in front of her, to the darkest corner of the room. “Especially not in this house. We’re in tune with every nook and cranny.”
Fairest stepped out with a small smile across her fat lips. “I was just watching the master at work, is all.”
“Master?”
“Yeah. You don’t know what they say about you?”
Lisa squinted.
“Princess Annilassa puts in the brain power and the family fetches like a pack of hungry dogs. It’s just exciting to see the flow of a family other than my own at work. Every process starts somewhere. ‘Course I always thought I’s the only bookworm in the business, but when I heard that you were too, a volt of electricity shot through me.”
“I love your drawl,” Lisa said. “I especially love how you go from nonregional diction to country-bama. It’s so you. So, us.”
“Well, we can only be who we are. No sense in bein’ someone else, right?”
Slowly, Lisa nodded.
“How’s about we take the books to the kitchen and I can brew us some herbal tea? It always helps me to study before a hunt.”
Obliging, Lisa opened seven different books on the breakfast nook, not at all awaiting the tea in a tall mug Fairest was preparing to sit next to the book in front of her.
“How do you know my brother?” Fairest asked curiously as she sat.
Lisa cleared her throat. “A dream. Nightmare, actually.”
“Yeah, he’s good at walkin’ in and out of daydreams, nightdreams, sometimes even your thoughts.”
Lisa glared at her across the table.
“Is this conflicting to you? I heard that it was your ex-mistake that was doing all of this who-shot-john.”
Lisa lowly giggled. “Ex-mistake. I like that. But, no. Duty calls. Dossier has never been one to disappoint me when it comes to disappointments.”
“No, I meant with him being an ex and you being in love with my brother and all.”
Lisa’s eyes shot off her page the size of golf balls.
“Honey, I read auras too. It ain’t a secret that you’re head over heels for him as he is for you. But what I can’t understand is why y’all would run away from each other.”
“Fairest, believe me when I say I’m not running.”
“Oh? But y’all spent quite some time with one another and never made it official. See, I knew of a girl that my brother was into, but was never told of who that girl was. You could’ve made a move.”
“I made the wrong one with Dossier. If you don’t mind, I really need to study.”
“Right.” Fairest gently placed her mug on the table to wrap her long locks into a high, messy bun. “So, I know a lot about the creatures we’re working with, all but this Dossier character. Do you know where he could be? We need to find him before five-thirty-seven.
