“You’ll be careful, won’t you?” Demetrius nodded at his mother’s question. It’d been two years in the official capacity of guardian and she was no less inclined to worry. In truth, that night would be one of the easier investigations. The original target was out of town on business but it presented the opportunity for him to gain some secondary information. If things got sticky, he didn’t suspect he’d have a difficult time making an escape and returning with backup. “The first sign of trouble, you contact your sister, understood?” He nodded again. “It’s getting late, go.” The boy shrunk inward, taking his form as a black cat.

Game gone wrong

“Are you going to kill me?” Jamie asked. That had never been the plan. Dead—especially if his lead turned out to be false—would bring about an avalanche of paperwork he’d never find the motivation to tackle. There would be an unnecessary number of questions and perhaps a bit of punishment he’d rather not endure. Demetrius gave a lazy shrug. “Only after we’ve had a bit of fun. Now, how do you feel about ‘my mother has someone regularly checking in with us while she’s gone; they’ll be calling any minute’?”In place of any response, Jamie felt around for the door knob. She had the wild sort of look in her eyes that told him she was set to run. In his experience, that was never a quiet affair and was often accompanied by screaming; loud…unnecessary…screaming.“Don’t,” he said. “I’d rather not on an empty stomach.”Heedless of his polite request, Jamie spun on her heels and yanked the door open. She darted through it without so much as a glance back to see that he was already on his feet

False surrender

They moved quietly into the room, ghostly spectres with lithe movements that left them undetectable. Demetrius led the silent charge, his body low to the ground and his steps swallowed by the pads of his feet. This time, he’d taken along his mother and sister, hoping they might better help him decide. Jamie lay asleep, unaware of the visitors that had come to see her but Demetrius understood the need for extra caution. She hadn’t been sleeping much, not since the night they met. More often than not, she tossed and turned in a fretful half-sleep, stirred by the faintest of noises. “I dunno, Dem…” Cassidy said. She leaned in to get her own whiff of the girl. “What d’you think, mom?” Their mother placed a hand on Jamie’s forehead causing the girl to groan and stir. The three held their breaths, hoping she would soon fade back into disturbed sleep but Jamie’s eyes fluttered open. They widened comically at the sight o

The old new kid

The whispers swirled around the hall faster than he could walk. Barely a half hour within the building and there were very few who didn’t know that Demetrius Finley had once again graced the mere mortals with his presence. It’d been a busy weekend of implanting documents and memories to get himself back into the school system and he now owed a few too many favours for his liking but if he planned to move forward, he would need greater access to a certain teary-eyed wonder. “Demetrius?” The boy stopped, forcing his most accommodating smile. “Haley,” he said. His eyes twinkled with a delight he didn’t truly feel. “Been a while.” His former classmate skipped to close the final distance. “It’s been years. Shit. What happened? Were the rumours true?” “Tell me what they were and I’ll let you know.” Haley spared a conspiratorial glance about the hall before leaning in to fill him in. It had barely

Unwanted company

“Where are you going?” Demetrius froze steps from the front door. He’d expected his mother would remain in the guard tower keeping his father company until the end of his shift. “Out to clear my head,” he said. “Are you alright?” Concern weighed her brows into a crease. “If school’s been too much, you don’t have to keep up with it. You can try again in another few decades when you don’t have so much on your plate.” He shook his head. “I made the choice and I don’t regret it. Just need a quick walk before I begin that calculus business. It gives me a headache.” His mother’s expression softened. “Demetrius…” “I’ll be back.” He hurried through the door before she could launch into a real interrogation. For the last week, he’d been intentionally elusive, seldom remaining home and seldom willing to have conversations with his family. It had to be done. For as good as he was at detecting lies, Cassidy could

Reluctant truce

The 8oz carton of milk slid across the lunch table, coming to a stop inches from his hand. Demetrius looked at the box, then the hand that had nudged it closer, and finally the reddening face of the girl who’d initiated the gesture. Jamie didn’t return his gaze, instead choosing to keep her eyes downcast while she waited for him to accept it. “Here.” Demetrius took the carton, turning it over as if he meant to read the label or its nutritional facts but in truth, it was the gesture itself that stumped him. Not only had she come to share a table with him of her own volition, Jamie had brought a gift…albeit a puzzling one. When she finally lifted her eyes, she caught the question in his. “For last night,” she said stiffly, returning her gaze to the box of milk. “Huh? Oh. Oh!” He lowered the box to the table. “Don’t worry about it. I’d never let you get eaten.” She blanched at his words, the colour from earlier retre

Sister dearest

“Hey…hey, wake up.” Demetrius gently nudged Jamie, wanting to rouse her from the fretful sleep she’d managed to fall into. It had been the same each night; tossing, turning, the occasional outburst. Something followed her into her dreams when she slept, menacing her until she bolted awake in fright. He thought to ask her about her dreams, but that necessitated the admission he often stopped by to see her while she slept.  He nudged harder, surprised at how deeply she’d fallen into sleep on such an occasion. “Huh…what…who is it?” Jamie rolled onto her back rubbing lazily at her eyes. “Get up; we’ve got work to do.” Jamie bolted upright, squinting into the dark room. It took her an extra moment for her eyes to adjust to the low light and yet another for them to dispel the last of the sleep that shrouded them, but he could see that she was now wide awake. “What are you doing here?” she whispered. Her voice was thick with the

The unknown caller

“Daddy, can we keep them? Please?” Valerie clung to the pair of black and white cats, fixing her father with a desperate look. “Look at their little faces. I promise I’ll feed them and clean up after them. Please please please please!”Demetrius squirmed against the 8-year-old’s tightening grip, but Cassidy would not endure the abuse. She leapt from the girl’s arm, choosing instead to sit by her feet and mewl plaintively at the man standing between them and the next phase of the plan.“I dunno, Val…” he said. “You know how your mother feels about animals in the house.”“But please?” Valerie whined. “I know she won’t mind when she sees how cute they are.”“I’d still wanna talk to her about it first, sweetheart. When she gets back next week, we’ll circle back to this.”“But they could be dead

She doesn't sleep

Jamie wasn’t sleeping. The phone call rattled her days after it had been made and it left her seeing shadows at every turn. Where before she was hesitant to have either himself or Cassidy sleepover to keep watch, it had become a requirement for her to remain calm when the hour grew dark and everyone else was off to sleep.They began taking turns, trying to minimise their absence at their own home but Demetrius knew his mother had grown suspicious. She’d become aware her children were hiding something but hadn’t yet decided it was a matter of urgency that she find out. They were fed, uninjured, and home often enough that she was willing to let them have a few secrets.He would keep it that way if he could help it.“Sun’s coming up,” he said, turning to the girl who’d spent the night by her study table. “You sure you didn’t want to try squeezing in an hour?”“What’s the use? I’m n

A warning

The faint scent of familiarity drew him from his slumber. Demetrius eased himself from Jamie’s outstretched arm then slipped from the bed. He thought to throw his shirt on but it was already too late; Cassidy had helped herself into the bedroom. His sister raised a brow at him, displeased by his current condition but for the moment, she didn’t comment on it. “You weren’t at school.” He nodded toward Jamie. “I needed her to sleep.” “Dem, that’s not your responsibility. Look at you.” She gestured to his bare chest. “Have you forgotten what we’re supposed to be doing? You asked me for my help and I’m willing but…what is this?” “You’re overthinking it,” he said. Demetrius reached for his shirt, slipping it on. Despite the cavalier gesture, Cassidy’s words had made him self-conscious. “She’s no use to me dead and her body’s beginning to fail.” His sister narrowed her eyes. “You’re lying.” “Drop it.” “Demetr
