CHAPTER EIGHT

~

“Oh good,” Scott turned to look at Doug, “the carebear’s arrived.”

“Ohhhh,” I groaned as Doug blustered, red cheeks and all…

“I’ve just about had enough of you ghoul,” Doug growled.

“Wanna take it outside, carebear? Or do you need your mother’s permission?” Scott tossed back, and Doug took a step, just the one before I zapped him…

“Jesussssss, Josssss,” he growled out until I snapped my magic back away from him. He lifted an accusing finger as he bit down on the remnants of pain still flowing through him, “he started it!” he bit out in disbelief.

“And I’m finishing it,” I assured them all. “Playtime is over because nobody can seem to manage to play nicely with each other.”

“Alpha men will be alpha men… unfortunately,” my mother had to add her two pence worth. I hadn’t even known she was here, how unlike mother to be that quiet… she must have been devouring a small child somewhere.

“Look,” I started as people started to growl again, “we’re all here for answers. Can we just play nicely until we find them, or do we want to wait until the body count goes up?” I made my voice as high pitched as I could for the benefit of all of those with sensitive ears.

Silence reigned supreme. Yea!

“Good!” I brightened my tone and dropped it a few decibels now that everyone had fallen in line.

“Does anyone have any idea what we’re looking for?” Doug asked, with much less of a growl in his voice.

“Not you,” Scott shot back, and mother zapped him before I could- stealing my thunder and making me bite down on the urge to zap the next person that dared to utter a sarcastic word.

“Thanks, mum,” Scott offered her a smirk and she groaned.

“I’m old, but I’m not that old,” she snapped back.

“Not that well preserved either,” Lucifer ground out, and I so wanted to zap her, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it- I so hated baby brain, now my sister was stealing my thunder too.

“Can I get down now?” Amos breathed past the hand at his throat. Scott turned to look at him, as if he’d forgotten he was there.

“Not just yet,” Scott said, and I could see that he was trying to remember exactly why he had a death grip on the Goblin.

“You were threatening people,” I helped Scott out and saw him frown slightly, as if he didn’t want to acknowledge that he hadn’t a clue.

“I was not!” Amos protested. “I was stating a fact.”

“No, you were gloating, so spit it out and tells us what you know,” Scott seemed to have caught up again- bless him, he was old.

“I know nothing!” Amos declared.

“You really think he has the brains to know anything?” Doug growled.

“What he said…” Amos pointed towards the big man, and Scott let go, literally, dropping Amos to his feet.

“Probably not.” Scott dusted off his hands.

“But if I could, I’d send the ghost after him,” Amos pointed at Doug and the big man growled again, this time it sounded a lot angrier and a lot hungrier.
