The Deal

The door opened, and a kindly face looks out. "Hey Shelby" Raven said, greeting her. Shelby was a witch who was taking care of Zeke during the Night Summit. Her straight dirty blond hair was tied back in a bun. "Is this Zeke?" she asked looking at the demon-vampire perched on Damian's shoulders. "Hi!" Zeke said as Damian helped him off his shoulders.

They entered the Night Summit clearing. Bree and Ryla ran over to them. "Everyone's talking about Zeke. It's turned into a debate." Bree told them.

There was a noise from the centre of the clearing. They all looked over and saw a fourteen-year-old boy with fluffy brown hair, but his bangs were dyed blond, his warm brown eyes were like chocolate and when he opened his mouth two sharp fangs could be seen. Briar was staring at him and Kash whispered to everyone. "He may look nice but he's against Zeke. He's a hockey player named Oliver." He said the hockey player part mostly for Briar who hated hockey.

Oliver started talking "those people" he said pointing a Damian, Briar, Kash, Raven, Lilith and Ash with Bree and Ryla close behind them. "They took in an orphaned demon-vampire. There was a reason that child's mother was dead and he deserves to die as well." Briar clenched her fists and called out "you deserve to be tortured and then die!" Oliver only grinned, his brown eyes sparkling "is that really the best comeback you have darling." Damian's eyes narrowed. Briar's fists clenched even more "don't call me that." Oliver's grin turned into a smirk "and you're gonna stop me how...? Darling." Damian spoke "Don't call her that! Zeke deserves to live more than you ever will." Damian was going to walk over and punch Oliver but Kash grabbed his arm.

Someone in the crowd made a suggestion "Why don't you just take a vote?!" Oliver shrugged "sure." The vote was equal. Oliver walked over to Briar and looked her straight in the eyes "Let's make a deal. We take sides and in one month we meet somewhere and fight. If my side wins, the kid's dead, if you win he lives." He held out his hand for Briar to take. She took his hand in a vice-like grip which he didn't flinch at. As Briar shook hand she realized his hand was incredibly soft.

Later, everyone was sitting in The Den. Bree and Ryla came with them and were currently arguing with Damian if Zeke liked Melanie Martinez. Zeke was crawling on the ground playing cows with his uncle Kash. Kash's mooing wasn't very enthusiastic, but Zeke didn't notice. They had agreed that the fight would be on Briar's huge country property.

When Zeke was in bed on the floor drooling everyone else discussed the battle. "Lilith." Briar said "I need you to be in my house with Zeke, since I don't trust Oliver to keep the deal." Lilith nodded "I'll keep Jinx with me, so Zeke will be distracted. I'll also keep a hot glue gun with me." Lilith added the last part quickly. A hot glue gun was her favourite weapon for reasons unknown to everyone except Ryla.

Damian took off his shirt and Kash whispered something to him. The only one who heard what he said was Lilith who momentarily switched into her cat form to hear what they were talking about. Kash whispered "trying to prove to Briar that you're hotter than Oliver?" Damian probably can't blush but he came close to it then as he muttered in denial. Lilith who had turned into a human again raised her eyebrows as Briar checked Damian out. Damian also noticed. "Like what you see sweetheart?" He said unnecessarily stretching, so attention was drawn to his abs as Briar looked away blushing profusely.
