Chapter 11

Abundance of Destined Plans

Additional chairs were brought around the large table. Heavy, cumbersome and ancient, they were far from welcoming.

“Please,” Markus said as he brought a chair up behind me. “Let us all take a seat, take a breath and take a moment. We need to talk this all out.”

I glanced at Moore, knowing the suggestion would bode well with him. I couldn’t really blame him. On two occasions they’d charged him and it was easy to imagine they’d do it again.

“You guys really think we want to sit down and talk… to you?” Moore glared at our hosts with murder in his eyes then turned to Braxton. “You want to sit and talk to these clowns?”

“Moore,” I said, hoping to calm his anger. This wasn’t the time to lose his cool.

When he turned to look at me, I didn’t recognize the hard, menacing eyes that stared at me. “Are you hoping they’ll do what you’re incapable of? What you’ve been wanting to do all along? From the very first moment you met me, you’ve wanted to slay me.”

Stunned by his glare and the accusation, I fell into the chair Markus had so strategically set for me. “What are you talking about, Moore? I’m the one who stopped them from slaying you.”

His stare remained hard a long moment before finally softening. “Yeah,” he muttered in a tone on the verge of defeat and desperation. He was confused and getting worse.

I turned to Gordon and John then glanced back at Markus who still stood behind my chair. “We have to do something fast. They’re taking over him. He’s losing all control. Soon he’ll be lost to us completely.”

John’s gaze on Moore threatened to explode, but he made no move to attack Moore again.

“If we could all be seated,” Markus said. He gestured for Moore to take the seat at the other end of the table. “Maybe you’ll feel better if you put a bit of space between us.”

With a brooding grunt, Moore pulled back the chair, letting the legs scratch loudly across the stone floor. When he sat down I breathed a quiet sigh of relief. Everyone took their seats.

“I had a nice chat with Asher,” Gordon said after a tense moment of silence. “I’ll admit I didn’t hold much hope for the situation you all find yourselves in when I first set eyes on you. Asher is like no other guardian, angel, or demon slayer I’ve ever known.”

“Well, if you’re hanging out with a bunch of old cronies,” Moore droned. “It can be a bit surprising to find yourself in the company of younger men.”

John and Gordon exchanged glances, but didn’t comment on Moore’s outburst

“What our fine gentleman is trying to say,” Asher threw in, “is that he severely underestimated my capabilities. It’s not the first time people have looked at me and thought I was just a useless kid.”

The anger he felt for his parents’ constant absence glistened in his eyes.

Gordon grinned tightly and gave Asher his best attempt at a paternal pat on the back.
