Chapter Fourteen

When Jessica parked her big, rusty yellow Jeep in front of Grandma Ethel’s house, she immediately looked around for her grandma’s car. She hoped that the old lady was out shopping or something. No such luck. Her car was still there, which meant so was her grandmother.

Now that she was finally home, Jessica’s thoughts returned exclusively to Frank the imp. She wondered how she could get her hands on Ethel’s magic book to find the reversal spell. That would be infinitely harder to do with her grandma in the house. She couldn’t fathom how she could distract the old woman long enough to get the book and do what she needed to do.

As she hopped out of her Jeep, her mind spun in an effort to devise a plan. How could she possibly distract her grandmother in her own house so that she could have enough time to look at the book?

She pulled her backpack from the backseat and thought about the impossible task before her. After all, it wasn’t like she could use the convincing spell on Ethel. Jessica didn’t even have the nerve to think about doing such a thing.

A little dispirited, she walked up the steps to the front porch and automatically hopped over the usual cats that lounged around.

“Hey, Grace.” Her grandma’s familiar was perched on the banister ledge. Grace didn’t exactly return the greeting. Instead, she made a tsking sound that Jessica wasn’t sure whether the cat had made out loud or telepathically. She didn’t have time to think about it as she had more important things to do than interpret Grace’s many moods.

Jessica retrieved her keys and opened the front door. She stepped over the cats in the front door, like always, turned into the living room, and stopped abruptly. Her backpack slid off her shoulder and fell to the floor with a heavy thud.

“Grandma, I can explain.” The words came automatically, even though she most certainly could not.

Grandma Ethel stood in the middle of the living room and held up Frank like he was a piece of dirty laundry. She tilted her head with her gaze glued on Jessica. “Can you? Well, that’s wonderful. Because I certainly wondered why there was an imp in my bedroom pretending to be a cat. It gave me quite a start, as you might imagine.”

She swallowed, lowered her gaze to the floor, and shook her head, unable to fathom how she could possibly get out of this mess. Then she quickly deduced there was no way to get out of it. The secret was out, and there was no sense in lying to a woman like Ethel Libbons.

Jessica took a deep breath. Frank meowed as if he felt the need to make the moment more awkward than it already was.

“He’s my familiar.” The words felt strange leaving her mouth and sounded even stranger to her ears. She hadn’t been ready to disclose that information just yet, but there it was. Out in the open. “I met him that day when I babysat for the neighbors.
