Myth

Vic's POV

Shit. Empty handed and bleeding at the fucking fangs. Ellis is gonna bury me alive. How am I supposed to explain this? She'll fucking maul me if she knows what happened back there... God damnit, I'm so stupid. Damn Persephone and her distracting fucking cat!

"Ellis? You around?" I called, stepping into our shitty little bungalow.

"See? Just like that."

"So... Like this?"

"Your backhand fucking sucks, Sparkles. Hold it like this and maybe you could hit the backside of a barn."

"What does that even mean?"

"JUST FUCKING HOLD IT RIGHT."

"Okay... Sorry."

POK

"Awesome, Sparkles! You actually got one!"

Was Ellis... Talking to herself? Again?

I sighed, ignoring her and deciding to go to my room. The longer I could avoid her wrath the better.

"Maybe if I hit my head on this wall enough times I'll die."

Hah. I wish. I had tried before. There was a hole in the wall behind a drawing Mikey had drawn me to cover up the damage. I had very little contact with my brother and the others now. I lived with Ellis and Ellis alone. She was my best friend. My hunting partner. My drinking buddy. My soprano voice. But my wife? Nah... We're like brother and sister. Even if she's supposed to be my wife, we've never been romantically involved. We're both not interested either.

I'm not interested in anyone. Women are terrifying. Especially Persephone. She's the worst.

I looked at my arm. The holes where my fangs had been were turning black from the silver. That was fucking cruel. All I wanted to do was drink her. Damn, I don't understand women.

Alina's POV

I sat down on a rock and felt the tears coming. We had been searching forever and the sun was coming up.

"I suppose it's too late for fajitas now. Or... Early?" Ed wondered aloud, looking around as the sun began to rise.

I glared at him. "Are those fajitas all you're worried about?"

"No, Love. Of course not."

I continued to glare.

"We're looking for Liam. Liam the fairy. Liam the missing fairy. Liam the missing fairy that we need to find.

Liam the missing fairy that-"

"Stop that." I snapped. "Why are you doing that?"

Ed looked down, chuckling softly. "Force of habit. Persephone makes me repeat things because I'm always forgetting to do them."

He stopped abruptly in his tracks, eyes widening. "Oh fuck."

I stopped walking. "What?"

"I need fairy dust."

I backed away. "Why?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"I was told to not say anything to anyone." He mumbled, looking worried. "Please trust me."

"I can't just give it to anyone."

"Please, I just need a little. I'll be eternally grateful."

"No. I can't do that. I need to get Liam and get home. He went to get vampire venom to heal the tree."
