Chapter Seventeen

This old part of Whispering Willows, near the portal to hell, was a place full of vagrants, vampires who’d been out all night partying, fairies high on their own fairy dust, witches drunk off Witch’s Brew. Where was Lola when I needed it? Or Fitz and her red-hot Mercedes or Gary and his cool-silver Porsche. Instead, I was reduced to using this broom, like a . . . well, a common witch. Ugh.

A mother stood next to me, juggling her three kids. One ran circles around her, while the other jumped out of her arms and popped his head between her legs, sending her off-kilter, the baby precariously teetering in her arms. Somehow, she managed to stop her fall and not squish or drop any of her children. She tottered off with them to who knew where while I stood studying the broom in my hand.

Something growled in the shadows of the buildings nearby, and out crept a demon. Oh no. Its black eyes flashed, and green goop dripped from its mouth, splattering onto the ground below. From behind the demon, a woman jumped out, holding a glowing golden sword. The Demon Slayer. Her spiky blonde hair gleamed in the sunlight, and a vampire, also with bleached blonde hair, slunk behind her.

“Can we hurry this up, love?” the vampire asked, crossing his arms.

The Demon Slayer swung her sword around and aimed it at the demon’s neck, but at the last minute the creature jumped back.

“Oh, I’m sorry that me slaying this demon is interrupting our lunch plans,” she shouted back at the vampire. The demon jumped on her back.

The vampire rolled his eyes. “I’m just saying, I only get a thirty-minute lunch break before I need to be back at The Black Hat.”

She shot upright, the demon flying off her back and onto the ground with an oomph. “You know, if you want lunch that badly, you can always help.”

He shook his finger at her. “Oh no. Last time I tried to help, you said I was distracting you.”

She shot him a look while punching the demon. “Well, you ripped your shirt and were showing off your six pack.”

I raised my eyebrows. I wouldn’t mind seeing said six pack. Finally, the Demon Slayer shoved her sword through the demon’s gut. It sunk to the ground, blood spilling from it. I couldn’t believe I’d just witnessed a demon attack in broad daylight. Only in Whispering Willows.

The vampire slung his arm around the Demon Slayer and they disappeared, arguing about where they were going to eat like the woman hadn’t just killed a freaking demon. I shook my head.

“Fancy seeing you here.”

I froze. Of course. Apparently it wasn’t just vagrants, partiers, addicts, and demons who came to this part of Whispering Willows. It was also Cruz Acosta. Cruz, who was none of those things. I forgot his shop was nearby.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, hoping he was just passing by.

“Headed home after an early morning shift.”

Please don’t ask where I’m going.
