Chapter 7

“Are you going to be okay here alone all day?” I asked her over our breakfast of cereal and toast.

“Yes, I’ll be fine,” she grunted as she reached across the table with her left hand to grab the carton of milk. Her arm shook when she picked it up and she missed a bit of her pour into the bowl.

“I can help!” I said as I reached to assist her.

“No, I’m fine. Just need some time to recover.” Her words came out with a bit of a growl, but she didn’t look at me.

“You look a lot better than you did last night,” I said, and the succubus raised her eyes to mine and tilted her head. Her wing was still torn, and she still had the giant bruise over her eye.

“Uh, well, you always look beautiful! But last night you were all covered with blood, and you weren’t talking, and it didn’t seem like you were breathing for a few moments. I checked your pulse, and it seemed like you were fine, but then I thought about ki--” I stopped myself mid-syllable, and the rest of the word bounced back into my throat. Charlotte didn’t need to know that I had wanted to kiss her while she was unconscious. That is all sorts of creepy. I thought about asking her if she wanted me to kiss her, but she did seem to have healed some, and I didn’t want to risk the embarrassment of her telling me no.

“I took a shower and changed,” she smirked at me and then gestured to her shirt. It was yellow and had a smiling sun embroidered between the curves where her perfect breasts peaked against the cotton.

“Oh. Yeah. Well, umm. Did you hear what Satan said on the phone last night?” I asked.

“Some, but I couldn’t stay awake anymore. Thanks for putting me in my bed.”

“Uhh. Yeah. It wasn’t a big deal. That is what friends do, right?”

“Friends?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Mmmm, we are friends right?” I asked, and my heart started to hammer in my chest.

“Succubi don’t have friends,” she said before she raised a spoonful of cereal to her mouth. It was Kix brand stuff, and the food looked like little yellow marbles.

“Well, you are my friend,” I muttered as I looked at my own bowl.

“I know. Sorry. You are mine as well. Sherman, I really like you. Thanks for taking care of me. Sorry that you had to do that. I didn’t plan for the werewolf to have that much power. What did Satan say on the phone? He said this bad joke and then I don’t remember anything else.

“He, uhh, said he wanted me to figure it out, and he wanted to talk again tonight.”

“I can’t go to school. This werewolf knows that I tried to kill him, and he’ll be able to smell me now. We need a new plan. I’ll think about it today while you are there. Maybe you can get more info on him?”

“He can smell you?” I asked.
