When I came to, I was in some sort of office being used for a storage room. Stacks of boxes of unused brochures and pamphlets filled the space. It was dark with the shades drawn, no computer or phone. My cell phone was missing, and my hands were cuffed behind me to the leg of the desk. The situation didn’t look promising. What was worse, I didn’t know if Security She-Devil was up to something demonic, or if Stone was responsible. Without the use of my hands, I couldn’t activate my sword or my shield, and I didn’t know enough about what the helmet could do. It definitely amplified the annoying ticking clock on the wall; each click reverberated in my body. If I didn’t find a way out of that room, things would get exponentially worse. Almost noon, and I still hadn’t stepped foot into the office.

“Ezra!” I shouted into the darkness.

Nothing. Just the sound of the ticking clock grating on every last nerve. I rolled to my side and tried jacking up the desk with the strength of my remaining boot, but there was no way to get the cuffs around the bar. I couldn’t kick the bar without breaking my wrist. It was a hopeless mess. Giving up, I put my head on the dirty carpet and cried. Tears flowed from my eyes—four years’ worth of pent up grief came pouring out. I missed my parents. I missed that feeling of safety and security when I was with them, even with the random supernatural occurrences. They seemed to have had everything under control, for the most part. But not me. My house was a mess, I was probably going to lose my job, my best friend hated me, and I had been captured by demons. It was a low moment.

Then a sparkle of blue light flickered under the door and glittered into the office. Through my tears, I watched the blue-haired faerie come up out of the light. She stood before me, smiling and waving; her blue hair danced around her dainty face and her blue eyes twinkled. She was an enchanting site. I had almost forgotten I wanted to clobber her.

“Hi!” she piped.

“You,” I grumbled. “This is all your fault.”

She giggled. “I had to get your attention.”

If my hands weren’t cuffed, I would’ve flung her across the room.

“Well, it worked. And now I’m screwed. This isn’t fun and games, faerie. There are demons in this building.”

“There are demons everywhere, silly!” She flapped her gossamer wings and flew in circles around the small office.

“You’re making me dizzy. Is there a reason why you’re here? To rub it in that you stole my boot?”

The faerie stopped and leaned down close to my face; her intoxicating scent of lilacs and gardenias swept over me. “I’m here to help,” she said.

I let out a dry laugh. “Why would a faerie want to help me with anything?”

She frowned, insulted, then danced across the room and slipped under the door in a sparkle of blue light.
