Ch.5 Trouble

[I was listenin' to this while writing. :p]

[Dice's Pov.]

(Btw, Violet calls Dice, Dad or Daddy. And she calls Dev either Father or Papa. Just so u guys know for clarification ;3 )

I sat on the Boss' throne, swinging my legs back and forth like a child. He wasn't in the casino today, so I didn't have to really do anything but supervise. But I'm currently on my break, so my mind is focused on the book in my gloved hands.
The Title read,

"How to find Healing powers in a small Magical child."

"Parents addition"

The title was straight to the point. My book was flung out of my hands, i had almost fell out of the large chair.

I was startled by Dev bursting through his own door screaming my name. He seemed stressed.

I took a deep breath and composed myself. I got off the chair and motioned for him to come in. He shook his head quickly and continued to scream gibberish nonsense into my face, he was out of breath and grabbed my wrist tightly. His claws dug into my covered wrists, drawing some blood. He pulled me like a ragdoll across the casino to the main room.

The room looked so large.. Larger than usual..
I noticed a large crowd in a corner of the room, that explains the emptiness.
Dev pointed at them with scared eyes, he looked so stressed and tired. I kissed his forehead and looked in his eyes, he was kinda hard to because he was taller than me.

"Don't worry 'bout it Devy. I'll take care of it. Go have a smoke and rest."

He smiled and laughed quietly,

"Thanks Dice. Be careful."

Dev heads of to his office and I scurry over to the crowd,

"Hey, hey, guys! What the Hell are you guys doin'!?"

"Its king dice!"

I hear someone say aloud.

"Quick! SCATTER!!"

The crowd of employees and 'customers' run in all directions and go back to their usual business of gambling their lives away.

I walk slowly to the corner they were surrounding, Violet sat there, her eyes glowing again. I kneeled next to her. She seems fine.

"Daddy! Daddy!" She giggled at me, I'm still not used to that.
She asks me for a coin, which I give her. She closes her eyes to concentrate, her hands glow in an odd violet hue, the coin begins to float in mid-air. She laughs and looks at me for approval.

"What about your wounds?" I touch her side gently, looking back at her now bright green eyes, the coin falls to the floor.

"Father healed them!" I look back at the office, where my lover had hid. Why was he even here? It's his day off?

I shake my head and laugh,
"Get back to work!" I help her up, and she runs off with an,

"Aye Aye Mr. Daddy Sir!"
She's ridiculous!

Why would anyone ever get rid of her?
