Duck Drama: BOOK 2

Chapter 31 - Zehra

I get a call from Louie right as I hit my climax with Dewey. He groans out and flops head first on the bed beside me, in frustration. I give him an apologetic kiss on the cheek as I get up and take the call and get dressed. 

"New rule." Dewey says. "No phones during sex, from now on."

I nod and answer the call.

"Zehra? It's Louie sorry to call so late but -. Can you...Um... Come over right away?" He asked, he sounded frantic. 

"Yeah. But -. What's wrong?" I asked, as quickly finished getting dressed then swat Dewey on the back of the head, lightly, making him look up at me. 

"It's Athena. She -. She's gone. I need someone to watch Eve while I go find her." He tells me. 

My heart pounded against my chest. 

Athena? 

Gone? 

"I'm on my way." I tell him. 

"Thanks. Oh, and Zehra. Bring Dewey." He tells me. 

I nod as he hangs up and glance over at Dewey. 

"What is it now?" Dewey asks, rather grumpy. 

I guess he was grumpy that he didn't get to climax right after I did. 

"Athena is missing. Louie is frantic with worry, and he needs me to watch Eve while he looks for her." I explain. 

Dewey's eyes widen at that and quickly got up off the bed, no longer grouchy, and quickly got dressed and follows me out the door without another word. 

We got there in record time, and Louie answered the door before we could even knock. He pulled both of us in with one swift motion and slammed the door behind us. 

"EVE!" I practically scream at her. 

She giggles and reaches her arms out to me and I obliged and hugged her tightly to my chest. 

"How is my favorite niece?" I ask, giving her a butterfly kiss on the nose. 

She blew a raspberry at me and played with my hair, as if mesmerized by it. 

"Thanks for this." Louie says to me, as he grabs a coat and Dewey's arm. 

I nod. 

"Just... Be safe and find her." I tell him, waving him and Dewey off. 

He nods in agreement and they both rush out the door. 

"Okay, Eve." I say as I held her close to my chest and locked the door behind them. 

Can't be too save now days. What with the zombie hoards and demon nests sprouting up all over. It's a good thing my power was almost completely back... 

I think making love to Dewey has helped with that some. 

I blush at that and went to find something for me and Eve to do. 

I headed to the nursery which was decorated as if it were outer space. I have a feeling Louie's Mom was the inspiration of this. 

A big pale moon was painted near Eve's bed on the wall with a portrait painted of her, Athena, and Louie inside. 

I stare at it for a couple of seconds, wondering what it would be like if I had a family like Athena's. 

A lump formed in my throat at the thought of it, and no I was NOT jealous of Athena! 

She's is my step-sister after all. 

I should be happy for her. 

But I sometimes wonder... 

Is she as happy as she seemed to be before her suicide attempt? Before Louie, and even before Eve? 

Something has happened with Athena, why can't I figure it out? 

Who could even help me figure this out? 

Lena, Webby, and Violet are out of town trying to keep the zombie hoard at bay by the boarder. Scrooge, Donald and Della are helping out Launchpad, Darkwing Duck, and Gosalyn with the newest demon nests that was recently found growing underneath St. Canard. 

It was just me. Dewey. Louie. Athena, and Liam left to hold down the fort. 

So who -

"MATT!" Eve suddenly screamed as I was sitting down with her on the rocking chair. 

I stare down at her. 

WHAT? 

"Matt. Matt. Matt. Matt. Matt!" Eve kept repeating as she pulled at my hair. 

"Ow!" I say, and held her back away from me and stare at her more. "Why do you keep saying Matt?" I wonder. "When did you start saying Matt?" I ask. 

She only smiled at me and pointed at my chest. 

I blink. 

My- Heart? 

"Are you trying to tell me that I should get Matt to help me out with Athena?" I ask her, bewildered.

It was crazy right? 

A two week old baby saying Matt -. The one person I hadn't seen in a long time. 

How was I even able to contact him? 

I sigh and sit little Eve down on the carpet. She stared up at me with big red eyes in wonder. 

Maybe talking about Matt to Eve while I think of a plan to contact him might help. 

"Okay. Eve. How about story time? I have a really funny one about Matt." I began. 

She smiled at me and stuck her left foot in her mouth in response as if to say, 

Yeah! Tell me all you know! 

I couldn't help but smile as I began to tell Eve about my baby brother. She listened as if she understood, and I could swear that when I got to a good part about Matt, she would take her foot out, and when I got to a more serious and bad part about him, she'd jam it right back in, as if holding in a scream. 

I guess the things I was telling her that I shouldn't be telling her would seem scare to a baby like her. I probably should have stopped with how Matt killed Athena's Dad/Uncle but for some reason I can't stop talking about him. 

Could Eve have hidden powers of her own and that one of them was to hold me in a trance and talk about Matt all she wants? 

Nah. 

That can't be. 

But then again, Eve is part demon, the Savior of Athena's race of demons. 

Who knows what secrets little Eve can revile in the near future?

Let's just hope that when she is old enough, there actually is one.
