NINETEEN

“There is merely profound

horror and then there’s me.”

—Caine Deathwalker

As I hit the bed, the threat cleared the cobwebs from my mind. My heart pounded as I felt the soft brush of moving fur. Adrenaline jazzed my nerves, tweaking my muscles to deliver extra strength. I pulled a Storm PX4 out of thin air and jammed the barrel into the wolf’s mouth, using the gun like a horse’s bit so the jaws couldn’t close and savage me. At the same time, I warmed my Dragon Flame tattoo with a flush or raw magic, preparing to incinerate the enchanted rug. There wouldn’t be much of my bed left over, but necessity is a motherfucker!

It seeped into my mind that the rug wasn’t fighting me, but had stayed inert. There was no threat. I pulled the gun back and placed a slug between the eyes of the wolf anyway.

It didn’t care.

Rolling off the bed, I sprang onto my feet, my smoking gun panning across the space. That’s when I heard it: the muffled giggling of two young girls coming from the bathroom. I stalked over, wrenched the door open, and glowered down on Julia and Teramantha. They were convulsing with laughter, trying to be quiet about it with little success.

Seeing me, they went dead quiet. Julia looked into my face without fear, a smile in place. Tera ducked behind the older, taller girl, using her as a shield.

I used my smoking gun muzzle as a pointer. “One of you want to explain the fuzzy dead thing in my bed?” My other hand clutched the rug, using it to cover my private parts.

Still smiling, Julia wiped a tear from her right eye. “Just a little harmless joke.”

I glared. “Inducing a heart attack would not have been harmless.”

Julia huffed. “Like you’re scared of anything!”

Damn, using my own pride against me. How can I contradict her claim that I’m overwhelmingly courageous—I mean, it’s so true! Kid’s still too smart for her own good.

I looked past her to Tera whose face poked out. “And what do you have to say about yourself?”

Creases appeared between her eyes as she glowered back at me. “I promised to stop trying to kill you until I paid off my debt of honor. I never said I wouldn’t try to scare you.”
