Story: Haunting Salem
After saying my goodbyes to everyone, I laid back and sighed. What a night. I couldn’t believe what Zane told us. I knew there was something fishy about the place, but I could never put my finger on it. Now, I had more questions than answers. Just as I started to doze back off, my bed dipped three times. I grinned to myself, it had to be Kael, Ember, and Gaspar. I opened my eyes and relief flooded me. There they were.
“You okay?” Gaspar’s gravelly voice ran down my spine and made my belly flutter. I missed his stary eyes.
"I am because you three saved me... Again, I think, right?" I took in each of the guys. Their gazes, including the resolute Gaspar, who didn't seem to have any kind of feelings, were filled with worry.
“If we hadn’t been there,” Kael muttered. “That bastard.”
“You threw him, didn’t you Gaspar?” I asked, sure it’d been death who’d shoved Chase to teach him a lesson.
“No,” Gaspar said. “If I’d touched him, he’d be dead. “That was Ember.”
I gasped fully believing it'd been one not the other. "Look at you." I teased Ember because the expression on his face was still too serious.
“Do you know who is causing mischief in Salem?” I pressed. If I could help Zane find the person or whatever the dark practitioner was, it might help the man shut down the activity.
Kael shook his head. “He can cloak himself and he’s pretty fucking powerful too. I also don’t want anything to do with that kind of evil.”
I frowned. “Well, shit.”
“Don’t worry about it,” Gaspar said. “Something tells me Zane has a handle on this. I’m sure he’ll end the asshole.”
I hoped so too. I yawned. “Will you stay while I sleep?”
“We don’t have anywhere else to be.” Kael snuggled beside me. Then pulled me into his chest, giving Gaspar room to join us, while Ember took the chair closest to me. “Sleep, Simone. We’ve got you.”
I hummed in approval then allowed the darkness to take me away once more.
