Recap: “Who… WHO ARE YOU?” Grandma said in a shocked tone.

I turned to her and gulped down a baseball. “Um… remember how Grandpa used to say I had a friend living inside my head?” She didn’t even nod, she was to buys gaping at Dee. “Well, here he is, Grandma, meet Dee.”

Cue prolonged awkward silence as we all stared at each other in shock. Well, mostly it was Grandma who was shocked, I was uncomfortable and Dee was studying the seal and looking embarrassed. Then Grandma turned to me and gasped loudly, oops, the hair. “Jo…Josslyn, yo…your hair!”

I chuckled sheepishly and picked it slightly. “Yeah, well, I can explain… I think.”

That knocked off the shocked look and instead she started glaring with her hands on her hips. “You can explain why your hair has turned black and white?”

“Uh, yeah, and I can also explain what happened to Zeus as well.” I say sheepishly as I avoid eye contact.

“Zeus?” she asks absently. “Bu.. but I thought he was just out for a few days like the last couple of times.” She sounded like an innocent child that was just told Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny had fought each other to the death and that was the reason why they didn’t get anything for Christmas and Easter.

“Actually, he now resides around your grandsons neck.” Dee says tonelessly matter of factly.

“What?” She asks as if he’s stupid.

“Shh.” I tell Dee. “Let me explain before she gets the holy water.”

“Fine, but let me close the trapdoor before our presence is revealed.” Dee says with a sigh and begins to work his way up the steps.

“What is, no WHO is he?” Grandma demands. “And what the hell is he talking about?”

“Well, the bloody circle on the bottom of the door up there, he told me it hides the presence of this place from demons. And at the moment there’s a few after us so-”

“GRAB THE HOLY WATER!” Grandma yells up at Dee as he reaches the door.

“GET IT YOURSELF YOU OLD BITCH!” he yells back down as he slams the trapdoor shut. “And besides, we can handle ourselves!”

She turns to me for an explanation and I only shrug. “Well, you see, last Thursday, well, uh, I ah, kinda sorta-”

“Was infected by a demon and is now living as a half demon that has the capabilities of hosting true demons inside of his body, allowing them to exist on this plan and hold all of here power while torturing his soul eternally.” Dee says as he reaches the floor landing and sits down on the steps. “And as for myself, I am his Inner Demon, somehow sentient-”

“I’m a horrible grandmother.” She interrupts dramatically as she shakes her head back and forth. “How could I have let this happen?” she asks aloud.

“You’re a human, how could you have stopped it?” Dee countered.

“Dee, shush!” I turned to Grandma and found her staring down at the ground with wide eyes. “Grandma, don’t be so hard on yourself. Besides, how could you have known this would happen?”

“Yes, and if it’s any consolation, Zeus’s death was quicker than his suffering when Joss killed him.” Dee threw in. I turned and growled at him when Grandma snapped back up to glare at the both of us.

“What happened to Zeus?” she demands.

“Well-”

“He was corrupted and possessed by a demon, much different from what happened to Joss I assure you, and in order for Joss to survive and successfully convert into a half demon he was forced to kill Zeus.” Dee interjected boredly, I glared at him again but he brushed it off. “And with Zeus’s remaining amount of conscious, which I have no way of explaining, it converted his dying body and soul to become a… well weapon isn’t the exact proper term, but that is what is around his neck at the moment.”
