The Lord Has Returned

Chapter 16- Moonlight Sonata

As we sat down for dinner everyone but Shinae seemed uneasy. Naomi served food for everyone and everyone but I began to eat. 

"Mrs. Solace?" I asked getting her attention.

"Yes, dear?"

I rubbed the back of my neck. "Do you have another plate?"

She nodded and got up getting out another plate. "Here you go," she said handing it to me. 

"Thank you," I replied. I filled it up with a variety of food and stood up. They all gave me questioning looks. I walked back to the living room where Angelos was messing with the decorations and the throw pillows. 

"Think fast," Angelos said throwing a pillow at me.

"Hey!" I said as I dodged it. "You know just because its called a throw pillow doesn't mean you should throw it."

She shrugged. "You're no fun." her eyes moved to the plate in my hand. "What's that?"

I rolled my eyes. "Shit," I said sarcastically she rolled her eyes. "It's food dumbass what do you think."

"Thanks," she said grabbing the food as I passed it to her.

"You know you could come to eat with us right?"

"And scare the little girl? No thanks."

"But-"

"I'm fine, really, go on ahead," she said softly patting my arm.

I gave her a small smile and placed my hand on top of hers. "Alright, you're fine right?"

"Go," she said with a laugh. I stood and walked away, I turned around and she was making faces in the mirror. I smiled and walked back to the dining room. I looked at my food, I wasn't hungry.

"Nico," Will said warningly.

"Will." 

"Eat," he said.

"No," I replied, he kicked my leg. "OW! You little-"

"Language," Jordan said.

"Poopy head," I said to Will. "I'm not hungry," I said glaring at him, he glared back. It went on for a short while. 

"Doctors orders." he then said.

"Fine," I replied putting some chicken in my mouth. He smiled proudly and I rolled my eyes with a small smile. Jordan leaned over the table, closer to Will, his hand moved towards him and it was as if everything was in slow motion. I made a shadow tendril shoot out and grab his arm pull him away.

"Nico!" Will said.

"I- I was just getting the- the um biscuits." he stuttered out. 

"My bad. My powers get jittery every once in a while." I said with a smile. I finished my chicken leg and picked up my plate. "Where do I put this Mrs. Solace?"

"The um, kitchen sink," she said. "I'll clean it later." I nodded and walked into the kitchen in the other room. Like hell, I'm making her clean after me. I turned on the gas stove and flames came up, I burnt the rest of my food for the gods and turned it off. I went to the sink and cleaned it whistling a tune. I walked around the house and found an office. 

Everyone was still talking or eating so I decided to look around it, it was the size of a normal bedroom. There was a giant piano in the corner of the office, it was pushed up against the wall with sheet music all over the floor. There wasn't a piece on the piano though. There was a cluttered work desk on the other corner and a drawer of files in another.
