Chapter Fourteen

If Chad had thought rest would put her in a better mood, he had been terribly mistaken. Jessica knew that much from the moment she woke up. The fact that she had to get up and go to school the next morning only made matters worse because she couldn’t help but think of it as time wasted.

Time that could be better spent in practicing fire spells until she finally managed to learn one.

Knowing that the demon could come after her at any moment and she had no way to defend herself definitely wasn’t a good feeling.

“There you are. You’re running late, aren’t you?” Grandma Ethel said when Jessica finally made her way downstairs, fully dressed and with her backpack slung over her shoulder and her coat draped over her arms.

“I overslept,” she said, even though that couldn’t have been further from the truth. In reality, she had merely moved in slow motion and dragged her feet despite feeling pressured for time. She’d been too preoccupied with worry as she paced around her room, afraid the demon would suddenly lunge out of her closet.

In the living room, she began pulling on her coat.

“What’s this? Aren’t you going to have breakfast?”

“Sorry, Grandma. I’m not hungry. Just…can you put me some hot tea in a thermos? I’ll take it with me. Thanks.”

“All right, girly. Spill it. What’s eating at you this morning? You aren’t really that ticked off about the garden work, are you?”

Jessica sighed and shook her head. “No. It’s this stupid demon card game. And these fire spells. I’ll never learn them.”

“Well, not with that attitude, you won’t. Now stop worrying so much. Chad will be here to help you more after school.”

“And what good will that do if I get attacked before then?”

“You won’t,” Ethel said firmly.

She wanted to argue but no longer had the energy.

“Well, if you want to redirect this worrying you insist on doing, just think—your parents will be home soon.” The old lady wiggled her eyebrows and waved her hand. The gesture directed a thermos with the hot tea Jessica had requested to float out of the kitchen toward her granddaughter.

Jessica caught the thermos in her hand and grimaced at the thought of having to explain her night of drinking to her parents. Despite punishing her with garden work, Grandma Ethel’s reaction had been fairly calm, considering. Somehow, she didn’t think the same would be true for her parents, especially her dad. In their eyes, she had been their perfect and innocent little girl for far too long. Disobeying them by wanting to know more about her magical heritage was one thing. Breaking the law with underage drinking was another.

“Have a good day at school,” Grandma Ethel said as she headed out the front door.

In response, she grunted and hastily waved goodbye.
