Chapter 7
Sprawled out on the floor, Chaamâs head lolled from side to side. Maggie was gone. Maggie was gone. Maggie. Was. Gone. And mind-crippling rage was first on the scene. Self-loathing, the second to arrive. And thirdâ¦
âFound him!â Cimil stood at the bottom of the steps, happy as an evil clam, pointing at Maggieâs fatherâs lifeless body.
âFucking hell, Cimil,â he groaned.
âWow.â She rolled her head and surveyed the room. âLooks like you had quite the shin-diggedy-dig party. Didnât know bloodbaths were back in fashion. Personally, Iâm tired of mud, so yippy! Itâs my lucky day!â
She was always so damned evil. And late. âWhere the hell have you been?â
âI stopped to have this frock-o-licious ensemble made. And by made, I mean I stole it.â She now wore an elaborately beaded white dress. âMy mariachi suit was a loaner, and el Señor Trumpet had a wedding gig. But lucky me, I found this. Boy, did that bride look pissed. Maybe Señor Trumpet will loan her his outfit.â She grinned. âSo, you need some help, yes?â
He scraped himself up off the grimy, blood-soaked floor and charged. She moved to the side, away from his open claw, but wasnât fast enough. He slammed her against the wall. âFuck you. This is your fault. You were supposed to find Maggieâs father.â
âYeah. Funny you should mention that,â she grunted. âI actually took a peekee-poo into the future and saw all paths led to this one. No escape.â
He released her. âWhat are you saying?â
Cimil rubbed her neck. âThis was Fateâs plan all along. You were meant to lose Maggie.â
Her words crushed his very soul. âNo. This canât be right. Fate wants me to suffer?â
âYep! But there are many paths forward potentially ending in your happiness.â
He braced his two arms against the wall next. The air no longer wanted to enter his lungs, but the darkness did. This entire place was saturated with it, and his agony only seemed to amplify the potency. No wonder Maggieâs father had turned evil. But there might still be hope for himself. Maybe. He wanted to fight. âWhat do you mean?â
âWhat I mean is I can reunite you with your precious mortal.â
Could she? Cimil was known for her deception. That said, she was the Goddess of the Underworld. Her powers were an enigma, even to the gods.
âHow?â he asked.
âSimple.â Cimil gyrated her hips.
Un-fucking-believable. âAre you dancing?â
Still circling her hips and staring off into space, she replied, âUh-uh. Iâve got a Hula Hoop contest tonight. Iâm gonna win this time. I can feeeel it!â
Chaam raised his open hand. âI donât know what a Hula Hoop is, but youâre not winning shit without your head.â
She stopped her strange little dance and then rolled her eyes. âFine! I will prevent Margaret from crossing over into the eternal light of the universe where she would be recycledâperhaps into a tree or a bullfrog or a chicken potpie. Or a very naughty clown. One never knows. Then we will find a way to reunite the two of you.
