“You guys are welcome to stay with us. When we move again, I mean,” I say and Don gives me a big smile.

“That's very sweet of you guys, but I don't want to cramp your style. Eventually you guys will want to move on with your lives, as you should.”

Myah looks out the kitchen window and sighs. “I need to move on. I actually may have a date next week. On Valentine’sDay. I know you guys have your party, so Jade and Clara offered to babysit.”

Mylie drops her fork and squeals. “Yes, I really need a dad, Mom.”

Don gets quiet and I know what he's thinking. Mylie has a dad, but he's evil incarnate and she will never ever meet him.

Myah laughs, then Mylie and her start talking about some school project for Valentine’s Day.

Soon breakfast is over and it's time for my meeting.

As I'm bringing my plate to the sink, I get a massive hit of nausea and have to grip the counter.

“You okay, Arrow?” Myah asks and I shake my head.

“Vision,” I grunt before falling onto the tile floor.

Unbearable pain spikes in my temples and I fight to understand what I'm seeing, but it's shadowy and blurred.

I instantly know it’s about Silver, though. I can't see clearly but I can hear.

“Lookat our little Queen now. Curled into a ball at my mercy,” a man shouts and he sounds manic.

“Not so powerful now. You're pathetic. Luke deserves someone of his stature, and you are not it.”

“Arrow, what is it?”Don shouts, shaking me. Myah is holding Mylie and they both have worried expressions on their faces. Wells runs over with a glass of water.

Sitting up, I rest my back against the kitchen cabinets, taking a few deep breaths, then accepting the cup.

When my head clears, I look into Don's blue eyes.

“Silver's in danger.”

SILVER

The days in Hell are becoming more and more boring. Kane is missing and I still can't find my cat anywhere.

Merida did a spell to see if she could track him, but he's nowhere to be found.

I am going crazy. I haven't slept in weeks. I know there is a baby somewhere in this fucking castle, but I can't find it.

Moving along the halls, I ignore Shayna and her sneering. I wish Luke would kick her out, but for some reason he wants to keep her around.

At least she doesn't touch him anymore.

I guess old dogs can still learn. All it took was a fireball to the face and some seared eyebrows to get her to understand that I wasn’t fucking playing.

Reaching my destination, I storm into Luke’s office with an attitude that would rival Winnie.

Huh, I wonder what happened to that little bitch’s soul. Maybe I should ask Luke to bring her to me, so I can play with her a little bit. He owes me now. And her soul might be just what I need to get out of this funk.

I can’t believe he took my toy away. I was having fun tormenting that mean, nasty man. Who cares if I went a little too far, he was a murdering rapist and deserved to have a lifetime of torture in Hell.

“I was wondering how long it would take you to come track me down, Little Devil ” Luke growls in my direction, but doesn’t bother lifting his eyes from the tablet in his hands.

I sway my hips as I stride his way. When I reach his chair, I wrap my arms around his neck, before sliding my fingers downhis chest. He grabs my hand and presses a kiss to my knuckles, but that’s not what I want.
