Shine of the Dark Moon

Chapter 2

Esmeray was beyond bored as she stood there looking in a mirror while some imp was tailoring the massive hole in her dress. "Honestly, how did you manage to get that hole in a dress I got you a week ago?!" Stolas said while watching the imp tailoring Esmeray.

"Dad takes me ax throwing. It might sound shocking to you but some people know how to have fun." Esmeray said as she watched the imp repair the hole.

"May I remind you I'm still your father." Stolas said while crossing his arms.

"Speaking of where's dad? He's usually home by now." Esmeray said her voice sounded concerned.

Stolas checked his phone it was almost evening and Blitz still hadn't come home, not even a text message informing Stolas he'd be working late. "I'll be right back, implet." Stolas walked off and tried calling Blitz. The imp finished tailoring Esmeray's dress.

Esmeray groaned as the imp checked her dress for any more holes all she wanted to do was leave. Stolas walked back over to Esmeray his face showed frustration.

Stolas paid the tailor. "Your father isn't answering my calls or my messages." Stolas said he was both frustrated and concerned.

"Dad's a grown-ass man, he's probably fine, right?" Esmeray said not sure if she was trying to convince her Dad or herself.

"Language. But I'll try calling him again later. Now let's get your hair done." Stolas said, trying to put on a cheerful attitude.

"Seriously?" Esmeray grumbled. "What time does this stupid gathering start anyways?" She asked.

"In just a few hours. You need to be ready before then."

A few hours later...

Stolas was starting to get really worried. None of I.M.P had been answering their phones "Dad, I'm sure they're fine." Esmeray said as she watched her dad pace.

"Where could they be-...Wait what time is it?!" Stolas said as he stopped pacing.

Esmeray looked at the clock "7:43 why?" Esmeray said, confused.

"Shit! We're running late if your father still isn't home by the time we get back we're try going to one of his associates for his whereabouts." Stolas said as he grabbed Esmeray's arm and dragged her downstairs.

"You know if you give me back my phone I could try calling Molly and maybe she'll ask aunt Millie or uncle Moxxie if they know where dad is-." Esmeray was cut off by Stolas, letting out a sarcastic laugh.

"Implet, you have a better chance at seeing imps start to fly then you do at getting back your phone anytime soon." Stolas said as he pulled out the grimoire.

"Now come along we have a meeting to get through." Stolas said as he opened the portal. Stolas went through the portal first and not long after so did Esmeray.
