“She wasn’t attacking Bobby,” Peter said, almost apologetic. “She was just excited, and you… scared her.”

“I scared her?” I snapped.

“She had a long flight,” Peter said and stepped towards Jack. “Why don’t I take her to lie down?”

Jack careful y untangled her from him and handed her over to Peter. Neither one of them glared at each other or showed an animosity. Jack just handed her off, and cradling her in his arms, Peter carried her upstairs.

“What the hel , Jack?” I asked. “I was gone with Bobby, and it’s like stepping into the Twilight Zone.”

“Where were you, by the way?” Milo asked. He had an arm wrapped protectively around Bobby, and he’d been giving Daisy a wary look, which made me feel a bit better about al of this.

“Alice gave me a ride home from school.” Bobby rol ed his neck. “I hurt my neck when Daisy knocked me back. I think I should go lie down too.”

“I hate that kid,” Milo grumbled, leading Bobby away by the hand.

“So what’s going on?” I crossed my arms and stared up at Jack. “They’ve been here for an hour, and now you’re al buddy-buddy with Peter and the demon spawn?”

“I thought you’d be happy I was getting along with Peter,” Jack muttered. “And she’s not a demon spawn. She’s just a little kid, Alice.”

“You don’t know what she’s capable of!”

“Yes, I do! Better than you do! I’ve been a vampire a lot longer than you, remember?” He shook his head and turned to walk to the kitchen. “I know a few things. I don’t know why you always think I’m such a moron.”

“I don’t think you’re a moron.” I chased after him. “I just want to know what’s going on. How come you’re al pro-baby vampire, when you weren’t before?”

“I’m not pro anything. Mae did a real y stupid thing.” Jack leaned against the island and lowered his voice, probably so Mae and Ezra wouldn’t hear him. “But that’s not Daisy’s fault. She’s stil just a child who real y can’t control her actions. And I’m not saying we should let her run wild without recourse, but there’s gotta be something better we can do than treating her like a monster.”

“I’m not treating her like a monster. I just don’t like it when she attacks me or my friends,” I said. “You cared more about her safety than you did Bobby’s.”

“She wasn’t attacking Bobby!” He rol ed his eyes. “She was running around and playing with me and Matilda, and then she heard you guys coming and got excited. She likes Bobby, okay? She’s thinks he’s fun or something.”

“Where is your dog?” I asked.

“She’s outside now,” Jack gestured vaguely to the French doors.

“Did Peter tel you that she kil s animals?” I asked him. “She kil ed a wombat and tried to drink its blood.”

“You can’t drink animal blood.” Jack shook his head and brushed it off.

“No, you can’t, but she stil tried.” I rested my arms on the island and leaned in towards him.
