“So what is it, Shel? What’s really going on with you?” Taylor asked as he handed Shelby a bottle of water.

“I don’t want to talk about it, Taylor. I just can’t stay here with him here.” Shelby sighed and took a drink of water.

“Okay, but let me tell you this first. Xander is a great guy. He’s a nice man who accepted Jesse and me into this house, and this paranormal world, right from the start. Why don’t you at least talk to the man before you deny him?”

“Oh...Didn’t I tell you? Then it’s none of your damn business,” Shelby huffed.

“Oh, stop with the diva shit for one minute and tell me what’s going on.”

“Like you can stop with the diva shit for more than five minutes? Pot, here’s the black kettle.” Shelby rolled his eyes.

Taylor stared at the man for a few minutes before a thought hit him. “You’re scared.”

Shelby’s head snapped in Taylor’s direction and he gave him an angry look. “I am not scared. I’ll have you know I can be a fierce-ass vampire when I want to be. I’m not afraid of anything. Not even you, Guardian. With my powers, I can literally tie your nuts in a bow.”

Taylor gave him a smirk. “Oh yeah? And I can snap my fingers, turning you into a eunuch before you even take one step.”

“You’re not as powerful as I am, Guardian. I am over two thousand years old and received my mother's powers when she died. You’re just a little baby superhero.” Shelby said the last part in a baby voice and patted the top of Taylor’s head.

Taylor gave Shelby a bright, glowing smile. “Box, ocean,” he stated and Shelby disappeared. Taylor took a drink of water and counted to ten. Suddenly, a very wet Shelby appeared back in his seat, gasping for breath. “You were saying?” Taylor asked sweetly.

“You...what the hell?”

“Now what are you afraid of?”

“Just drop it, Taylor,” Shelby huffed.

Taylor grabbed Shelby’s arm and his eyes went white. Suddenly, a picture formed in the room before him like a hologram. The picture started to move like he was watching a movie, but he knew this scene very well. It had played over and over again in his head vividly since the day it happened.

Shelby left the stage at The Angel Club after his routine was over. His body glistened with sweat and glitter. He was breathing heavy as he made his way through the backstage hall to his dressing room. He stepped in and dropped onto the chair before the mirror. Grabbing a bottle of water, he gulped down the contents quickly then threw the empty bottle in the trashcan. Pulling the dollars from his hot-pink thong, he guessed he had somewhere in the realm of a hundred bucks. Not too bad for fifteen minutes on stage. If he kept this up, he would be able to buy that car he wanted in no time. Maybe he should go to Frank and Jesse
