dark intentions
A disheveled nana Bella is what I expected to see after banging on her door early on a Sunday morning. Instead, Alexâs crazy, curly bedhead answers the door. âWhat are you doing? Donât you ever sleep?â
âYeah, itâs 8am. Whereâs Nana?â
âNot here, duh. Sheâs on a romantic getaway with her boo.â He slow blinks as if heâs about to fall asleep standing up.
âBoo? Who talks like that?â I walk through the door tired of waiting to be invited in. âYou might be able to help me then.â
âEllie, my head hurts, my body hurts. I donât know if I can think straight right now.â
âTry. You love books. Have you read any of nana Bellaâs spell books?â
He scratches his head and cautiously answers, âYeah.â
I realize Iâm wringing my hands when I catch him staring. âLook, Alex, I need to find out whoâs after me and Iâm thinking if you know of a spell that can locate or a spell to take me to that person, maybe in spirit form. Maybe. I can negotiate a truce or something.â
He shakes his head and chuckles, âWhat? No. Thatâs crazy dangerous. No can do. Bye, bye, come again.â He goes behind me and tries to usher me out.
I turn around and face him. âIâm serious, Alex.â
âMe too, and Iâm seriously saying thatâs dangerous.â
Ugh, rub between my eyes to ease the oncoming headache before I say, âAlex, please. I need to do something. Someone or something wants I donât know what and too many people are getting hurt because of it. Think. Please.â
He clasps his hands, puts them on his head, raises his face to the ceiling. âArrrrgghhh. I need some thinking juice first.â
Yes! âCoffee. Iâll make you coffee.â
âNo. Yuck. Chai tea latte, hot.â
âReally? Okay, fine.â I rush to the kitchen and grab the chai tea latte mix and milk and put half and half each in a coffee mug. I microwave the mixture and take it out with oven mitts.
Heâs sitting on the couch as if heâs about to go back to sleep. I put his latte on the nanaâs USMC coaster. âHere. Itâs hot.â
Alex grabs for the mug. âHoly hot latte, batman. Where are the coffee sleeves when you need them?â
I canât believe my cousin is such a dork.
He grabs the oven mit from me and wraps it around his mug. He daintily puts it to his lips and squinces as the hot liquid hits his mouth. âAhh, hot. But good. Okay, let me think.â Alex takes a few more careful sips and starts to pace. âYou want to find and confront an unknown bad guy without being killed or caught. Hhmm.â
He walks over to nana Bellaâs book shelf. He looks at me and says, âDonât tell.â
âDonât tell about what?â
He puts his forefinger to his lips and gestures that whatever heâs about to do is a secret.
Iâm exasperated, âYeah, Okay.â
He turns his body to face the book shelf blocking my view. I hear a spring release and the whole section of the wall behind the book shelf opens as a door revealing a room the size of a walk-in closet.
