Chapter 36

I soon realized that we were headed to Ichabod’s old office in the subbasement.

Which made sense.

I opened the door to find the old man sitting in the office chair, petting Sir Muffle Paws absently as he watched me. He looked old. Not frail. But hard. Like a weathered oak log. Or like those crazy writer-types. Tired, and exhausted, but still energized with a driving passion. To write that next scene. I still held the whips of power at my fists, having pocketed the glass, and I was ready to use them. Even if I had to burn Chateau Falco down to the foundation.

If it killed Ichabod, it was a price I was willing to pay.

“Speak. I’ll soon be making kitty-sized snacks out of your ass, and it will be hard to understand you with all that screaming,” I snarled. The Dark Presence began to chuckle hungrily.

He sighed, snapping his fingers. My whips extinguished, and the Dark Presence surged inside of me, roaring with outrage at the sudden challenge, begging for me to let him loose. I forced him back down, and then took an aggressive step forward, suddenly angry that I wasn’t wearing one of the Fae cuffs. His magic would have likely rolled right off of me, and I desperately needed an advantage if I wanted to square off with Ichabod. Especially with my powers so limited. “Do you and your friend really want to try this again? I thought you learned your lesson at our first match. Repeatedly.” The cat sprawled out on the desktop, and instantly began to snooze, as if totally unconcerned with the danger I threatened. Even the cat mocked me.

My face grew hot. “I’ve learned a lot since then.” And I instantly regretted ever telling him about the Dark Presence a few months back.

He nodded. “I’m quite sure you have. From my book. The one I first studied. The first of many I studied. In effect, you are threatening me with your vast knowledge of power,” he leaned forward, “that I gave you from my childhood schoolbook. Do you not think I know every line on every page, and that having studied that as a mere child, I could…” he grinned, “school you in the usage of such lessons? Not even considering the centuries I’ve spent honing my craft from the numerous other areas of study regarding our shared abilities?” He leaned back, folding his hands in his lap. “Please. You’re a preschooler threatening a man with a collegiate degree.”

“Using the word collegiate makes you sound like a douche.”

“Yes, it will take me some time to get used to speaking like an uneducated peasant.”

I scowled back, but knew he was likely right about a fight. I didn’t let him gain the satisfaction of that though. “What the hell are you doing in my city, in my home, and why didn’t you tell me you two were stopping by?”

“First off, if this is anyone’s home, it’s mine. Secondly, I don’t find it necessary to check in with my… nephew, or whatever the hell you are.
