Chapter Ten

Malik’s face contorted into a fierce scowl. His human form raged over to Clover grabbing her by the hair and pulling her up to her tiptoes. “You have betrayed me. Where did you go? Who did you see?” As a human, he had short brown hair and black eyes, still a bit beady. His skin looked tan and he stood tall, nearly six feet. The potion he made earlier must have been so strong because she could actually see his human form.

Nothing she could say would get her out of this one. She winced as she felt strands of her hair snap and her hands instinctively reached for her head. The berries still wrapped in the leaf in her fist. The only thing she could do was tell the truth. “I went out to find an herb.” Which she did. She just didn’t have to tell him all of the truth.

“What the hell for? Do I not have enough in my lab?” He shook her a little, his face going red with anger and spittle flew from his mouth. She wanted to wipe it from her flesh. It smelled of shit.

“It’s belladonna. I brought back belladonna.” Clover opened her hand and the goblin grabbed the sunflower leaf from her. He abruptly let go of her hair and opened the package.

“What would you need belladonna for, Morsel? You wish to poison me?” His voice came out calm, low, threatening. His piercing gaze found hers and she shrunk back wiping his spit from her face. His firm grip in her hair kept her mostly still.

“No...no. I had no intention of poisoning you, Malik. It’s used in medicine and I was just learning about it. I noticed we didn’t have any and, so I went in search of it.” Well she hoped to everything holy that he really didn’t already have any. Thank God, nightshade grew in both realms or she’d be screwed for sure. Though she questioned why it never occurred to her to poison him with it.

Malik’s eyebrows shot up. “I see. Why didn’t you just ask? I could have gotten you some without you having to do it yourself. I wouldn’t be thrilled if anything happened to my little pet.” He kept a hold of the nightshade. He let loose her hair and smoothed down the tangled strands.

“I didn’t know how you’d react, in truth. I’m sorry I left, but I didn’t lie to you or hide it from you.”

“You waited until I left to leave.”

“A simple mistake.” She rubbed her hand up her arm. Please accept my excuse.

“Next time, request it, and I will get it for you.” He turned to walk away with the belladonna and his human potion wore off. He shrunk down to his normal size and back to green skin without missing a step.

As soon as she lost sight of him, Clover sunk to the floor. Her knees gave out and her entire body shook. At least there would be a next time. He came to close to her plans.
