I t got darker. Waiting on Chen to show up was horrible. We spread out; me in the house, Mags in the hedge, and Carl at his house. That decision was eating on me. What if he took after Carl or Mags first? I was inside. I wouldn’t know if either or both of them was attacked, unless I checked with dirt, then I might get a clue. But inside like I was I didn’t have the connection except down to the basement. If I left the living room I might miss the bloodsucker coming up on the porch. I needed to call them over, maybe go out on the porch. Something, anything. This was only about the millionth time I had been down this path. I rejected it each of those other times. Hands sweaty, my stomach was giving me a fit, somewhere between puke and maybe heart attack, my mouth was dry and I’d already drank enough water and coffee that I was constantly going to the bathroom, which was another worry, what if he showed up while I was back there? I didn’t want to have a showdown while hopping on one foot trying not to piss myself. That takes a lot away from an ass whuppin.

I felt the presence, like the world holding its breath, when Chen got close. There wasn’t any missing it. I guess because I was paying attention, everything got real quiet, things I hadn’t noticed stopped and it created a very noticeable vacuum.

I looked through the window blinds; I’d arranged them so I could see through the crack easily without having to move them.

I peeked through carefully, and looked into Chen’s face. It took me by surprise – well, ok, I mean I ‘bout shit myself. As I fell back, I threw my hand toward him and blew the screen, window glass, blinds and Chen out with a blast of fire. No thought involved, it all happened in an instant.

I jumped and shoved the door out of the way with my right hand as I tried to turn the knob with my left, I didn’t get the knob turned in time. The door took a chunk of the molding with it as it sailed on across the porch and hit Chen, who was coming back up the steps.

He slapped the door out of the way and didn’t slow down, guess he was pissed, and he was on fire. It was falling off him in tatters and pieces as he moved, shedding those rotten skins and shit he was wearing. His face and hands had taken damage but the rest of him had been covered.

I wanted to get to the yard so dirt could play but he was right in front of me and moving about like a bullet.

Necklace kicked in, my right hand was covered and a blade stuck out about two feet, it felt like part of me, I swung it at Chen and he dropped down and leaned back, he was sliding and I jumped over him.
