Duck Drama: BOOK 2

Chapter 59- Zehra

MATT POV

"Uh, not you..." Goldie says, blocking my path to Eve.

She took Eve from me as an excuse to "play" with her, AND NOW I CAN'T BE WITH HER?!  

DID LOUIE PUT GOLDIE UP TO THIS?!

"No! Matt has to be with me!" Eve says rushing back inside from the backyard and hugging my legs. 

I look down at Eve and smile and from the corner of my eyes I see Goldie sneer. 

"But, sweetie-" Goldie starts and gets down to her level. "-I have gifts for you!"

Eve hugs me tighter, and it's starting to hurt a bit... "NO! MATT IS ALL I WANT!" 

My heart aches for her, but I'm not about to go and mess with this woman. Goldie scoffs and gets back up, glaring at me.

"It's alright, princess." I say and get down on my knees, holding both of Eve's hands in mine and rubbing our noses together. "You can go with Aunt Goldie. I'll wait." 

Her red eyes seem to hold the whole universe in them and they start to water up, making my heart shatter. "Matt! No!" She whines and holds my face with her tiny hands. "Please?"

I try to fight it- I really do!- but-

"Fine." I get back up after Eve let's out a cheer and I glare back at Goldie, holding the munchkin's hand. "Yes, me." I say and take Eve with me, past Goldie and into the backyard. 

"Why are you so attached to that demon?" Goldie calls out to us.

I freeze in my tracks and feel my blood boil. Eve tries to pull me, but I'm still staying stone still.

"Matt..?" Eve looks at me, tilting her head. 

"What. Did. You. Say?" I order not looking behind me.

I hear her chuckle, and can only imagine she's laying on the door. "Why are you so attached to that demon?" She repeats. "Oh wait- You're one too. I guess it makes sense."

I slowly turn around, still holding Eve's hand, squeezing it slightly. "You called her a demon?" I ask.

She smiles. "Yes. Satan's masterpiece." She narrows her eyes at me. 

And before I can say anything, I point at her and yell. "NEVER SAY THAT ABOUT EVE AGAIN!" And from my finger, a blast of flaming fire comes from my finger, leaving us shocked...

Oh, and Goldie blasted back, and some how unharmed...

"Matt!" Zehra shouts, obviously surprised. But not with what happened to Goldie. But what had happened with me.  "How -?"

I stared at the scorch marks surrounding Goldie, who slowly slumped down to the ground against the wall.

"I -. I don't know." I admit, not at all sorry for what I did to Goldie.

But my head snaps down to Eve.

Did I scare her?

I wouldn't live with myself if -.

But she was smiling, and her eyes sparkled with excitement!

"Matt has power now!" She squealed. "That means I'm not to far off!" She exclaimed.

"Far off of -. What?" I asked, confused a I slowly bent down to pick her up.

She giggled and I can see out of the corner of my eye everyone's shocked faces as Scrooge quickly went over to help his wife up.
