Chapter 12

Malkin had his fur up. Literally. From his nose to the tail, a strip of fur down the middle stood as stiff as a punk rock mohawk for the length of his body.

“Malkin, calm down. It’s probably one of my roommates.” Jackie reached to give him a calming stroke and he backed away with a hiss full of fang.

“That’s not human,” he growled. “It’s not even alive.”

The doorknob turned. Malkin’s growl rose to crescendo, but before any motion could begin the door swung open … Brandy walked in, and tossed her keys into the basket by the door.

“Oh, hello. Something wrong?” Brandy asked.

“Nope,” Jackie said, while leaning back in the chair and taking a sip of her soda. “Why do you ask?”

“Because you’re at the table,” Brandy said, while closing the door behind her. and setting her bag on the narrow table beside the door. “We never sit at the table. It’s like an unwritten custom.”

“True, but I have a guest.”

Brandy froze, her ears attentive, her mind focused. “Yes?” Her grin contagious. “Where?”

Grinning back at her, knowing she was hoping the visitor was a man, Jackie looked to her side and found Malkin wasn’t there. “Malkin?”

He faded into view. Then began cleaning his thigh fur.

Brandy was the first to recover. “A cat?”

“Yes, and a magicked cat as well. Say hello to Brandy, Malkin. She’s my roommate.”

Malkin stopped cleaning and turned to Brandy, “Hello.”

“And a good day to you as well,” Brandy said, her voice full of restrained curiosity. “You were magicked? How strange. You are probably the largest one to be magicked, according to the news.”

Jackie scratched behind his ears with gentle fingers, “He’s going to stay with us for a couple of days. I’m going to need to go to the store here shortly to pick up some things for his visit.”

“Visit? Not … um, full time?” Brandy asked.

“Well, he’s a cat, and from what I’ve gathered, sort of a free spirit.”

“Oh, well, right. I could run up for you, and fetch a few things. We had cats at my house. I know what they need for … visiting.” As she said this her whole being seemed to glow.

The air chilled suddenly and a vaporous figure began to form in the living area. Brandy yipped and moved quickly into the dining room with the others, “What the fuck is that!”

“Oh shit!” Jackie squeaked.

“I told you they were out there,” Malkin growled as the thing came into being.

“What is that?” Brandy asked again, as she hurried to the other side of the table.

The shape coalesced into a semi-human form, with arms and legs and a foggy head. It was—blurry, Jackie thought.

Malkin jumped from the table, landing in front of the thing.

“Malkin!” Jackie cried in horror.

“Nin me car -ra ud dalla ed-a!” Malkin roared with a voice four times his size.

The thing roared back a defiant inarticulate cry. The room shook, pictures fell from the walls. A cup fell into the sink and broke.

“Bi-lu-lu ug-ga dinana! ib-da-sa u-lil-la dinana-kam!” Malkin
