Chapter Four

"Well that could have been worse."

"Yeah, but it should have been better," I said dropping onto the sofa of our shared living space.

Our suite was divided in half, with Kat and Dara sharing one side of the suite with a bathroom between them, and Hanami and I, the other side. I kind of got the better end of the deal since Hanami was hardly here thanks to her advanced studies. The academic school year had yet to start, and she was already on campus all day. She’d face plant long after I’d turn in for the night and would leave before any of us did.

And here I thought that kind of thing wouldn't happen until at least mid-term or final exams.

"Well, at least Dara got something out of this ordeal," I said.

Kat snickered, rolling her eyes as she pulled open the freezer door. "Yeah, well the girl's able to find the good in any situation."

I smiled to myself.

Dara had found herself a little snuggle hottie. She was tagged out early and ended up spending more time making out with the guy than actual playing. But hey it all worked out, because when the shit hit the fan, they were the ones that called out to the mages and the Merlin.

I was trying to finger comb the ceiling plaster out of my hair. Hopefully, all this dust wouldn’t form into concrete when I try to wash it out later. Maybe, Hanami could share her hair spells with me, too. "What was that guy's name anyway?"

Half of Kat’s body disappeared into the refrigerator. "I dunno, Gunther maybe? Something like that...oh score! Leftovers!"

"Praise Jesus," I declared, and hopped up to the kitchen area to see what was there to scavenge. "Damn, leftover Chinese and some frozen fries. Light 'em up!"

Thanks to the botched laser tag and the subsequent questioning by the Merlin, we didn't get to hit up a restaurant like we’d planned for pizza and half-priced appetizers. All thoughts of the bet burnt up along with the demon.

The mages were still looking for it, the last we’d heard.

The bet might have been long forgotten, but facing down a demon in a possible life or death situation kinda worked up an appetite. At least for me. Not that it would take much to get me to hunt for food.

Between bites of greasy leftovers and fried food, Kat and I talked about the laser tag fray, and threw down our own theories of what happened, including who was standing where and when.

"I wonder what the guys told the Merlin," I said. "You think they threw us under the bus?"

"With what? Conjuring up a demon?” Kat waved her hand at the notion. “They need to thank us for trying to save lives, is what they ought to be doing. First of all, we were the ones who were there first to see the demon thing. Second, it's not like we planned anything to happen. Third, those guys would be stupid to try to pin any collateral damage on anyone or anything other than a freak coincidence.
