Chapter Fourteen

Kaylee kept Zaria in her sight at all times as the group made their way over to Damian’s warehouse. It was more habit than helpful, as Zaria’s goons surrounded her on all sides. Kaylee tried to resist rolling her eyes. She found it hard to be too intimidated by kids who looked like they’d just been let out of elementary school, dragon-kins or not.

“Sure you don’t need any pain charms?” Damian asked Dani for what had to be the fourth time.

“Positive,” Dani said.

“That was pretty incredible. What you did back there.”

A faint smile ghosted across Dani’s lips. “Thanks.”

Damian nodded. He looked befuddled, as if he couldn’t decipher her, this newest addition to their mix. And Kaylee could understand. She still didn’t know how to feel about this new, slightly more aggressive, Dani.

Rather than going through the front, Damian pointed them around the back to a padlocked door.

“You’d be surprised how many Merlins and dragon-kin can’t even undo this,” he said proudly. Zaria held up one metal-covered arm.

“Bet I could.”

Damian’s expression soured. “Yeah, bet you could.”

He unlocked it. They went up a narrow staircase to what might have been a foreman’s office. In here Damian had shoved in couches and a flat screen T.V. Against one wall was a fridge and a pinball machine.

Jade sprang up from the couch where she’d been wrapping Maddox’s arm.

“Kaylee! You’re all right—”

Zaria stepped into the room. There was a flash of steel. When Kaylee blinked, Jade had Zaria pinned against the wall, a blade at her throat. Maddox and Edwin faced off against the rest of the rogues as both sides began summoning magic.

“Hey!” Damian barked. “My place, my rules! Weapons away! And magic!”

Jade didn’t move the knife. “Kaylee told me you kidnapped her,” Jade snarled. “Tell me what you’re doing here.”

“Same as you, darling,” Zaria drawled, unfazed. “You aren’t the only one who uses Damian for information. Now,” she gripped the blade with a metaled hand and bent it away from her. “Why don’t we talk?”

“Put it away, Edwin,” Kaylee said. “They actually did help us.”

Edwin reluctantly squelched the ball of magic in his hand. Maddox slowly uncurled from his attack stance. Jade backed off Zaria who brushed herself off, grinning.

“Oh, I like these guys, Damian. You didn’t tell me you had such violent people frequent here.”

“That’s because they’re not supposed to be violent,” Damian said. “But every time they come over they bring unwanted guests.”

Zaria gave Damian a significant look. “Unwanted, but not unsurprising.” She snapped her fingers. “Billy, Claire. What’s happening with the Slayers?”

A skinny boy with a slight overbite said, “I think Kim and Danny are helping the others take care of them, Zar.”

“Danny?” a stubby girl said. “He couldn’t ‘take care’ of a cactus.”

“Like you could?”

“My group, out!” Zaria said, rubbing her forehead. “You’re giving me a headache! Take care of the Slayers, then scout. Chances are those were the only ones, but we need to be sure.”

“You three go help, too,” Damian said to Jade, Maddox, and Dani. “We’re crowded enough already.
