He looked over at them. “Is this all of them?”
Lanias answered, “Yes—watch out.”
She shouted when she saw something red coming at them from the window.
Both she and Oye turned and wrapped their arms around Kahlia.
Castian appeared in front of them, all of them were swallowed up in his shadows, the bright light from the flickering fire of the attack fading away.
All four of them reappeared in Lanias room upstairs.
“Get off,” Oye shouted as she shoved Castian off here from where the two had landed. Once again she found her body pressed to his.
Castian frowned as he got up. “Don’t you think you should be a tad bit kindhearted to the Warlock who just saved your life.”
Oye scoffed as she stood up, glancing over at Lanias who was helping Kahlia up. “Did you forget the fact that you were snooping around our club, uninvited, and that’s why you’re here.”
“Exactly, good thing I was there otherwise you’d be toast without me,” Castian argued.
“I hate to break it to you, Warlock, but Lanias also has the ability to teleport,” Oye snapped. “She’d have brought us somewhere safe if you’d given her a second.”
He snorted. “You witches will say anything just so you don’t have to admit a Warlock helped you.”
“It’s not because you’re a Warlock, it’s because you’re the council’s dog,” Oye said, adding a short bark. “Why don’t you scurry along now and find your owner Tiller.”
Castian’s expression darkened.
“Now, now, why don’t the two of you stop. You’re upsetting Kahlia, and she doesn’t need any more stimulation,” Lanias said, cutting in between them. “Castian, let Tiller know what happened and have him send a few blue jays over.”
Castian glared at Oye, before he did as Lanias asked, leaving them alone.
Turning her attention back to Oye, Lanias asked. “Is there a reason you’re so sensitive to him?”
“What?” Oye stared at her flabbergasted. “Have you lost your mind?”
Lanias shrugged. “Then you shouldn’t be so angry at him for snooping. Plenty of spies come to my club, it’s nothing new.”
Oye stared at her and then looked away. “It’s nothing, I’ve just been on edge. Don’t make it more than it is.”
Lanias raised her hands in mock surrender. “Okay, I won’t. I’m going to take Kahlia to her room and then check out how bad it is downstairs.”
“Okay.”
Oye watched her go, wondering if she really was a bit too sensitive to the warlock. Not that it mattered, it wasn’t likely they’d see each other again after today.
THE TRIPLETS
A few weeks later
OYE
“Aren’t you going out with us tonight,” One of Oye’s friends demanded a few weeks later.
Oye took her helmet off the back of her bike. “Can’t, I have somewhere to be,” she said as she swung her leg over her bike as she got on. “Plus, I get enough of bar life working here,” she added.
One of the girls, a blonde with wide violet eyes flicked a finger of light at her. She caught the flashing light, it turned into a card. “Don’t be a party pooper, and come with us. It’s been forever since you’ve hung out with us on Red Street.”
Shoving the card in her back pocket, Oye laughed. “Because every time I go, I get kicked out for knocking one of those asshole vampires on their ass for hitting on you and Kennedy.” She put on her helmet. “I’m good, I’ll catch you all tomorrow.”
