Chapter Ten – Trouble Brewing
and a demon
Across town in the house of warlock, Steve Kessler, the house was silent except for a phone conversation in the den. Books liked the walls of the den. It was neat except for a drawing taped to the wall by the lone window. It was a picture drawn by Steve’s daughter of a man holding the hand of a girl. Above them were the words, “Daddy and Me”. It was signed in the bottom right corner with only the letters DLK, Devia’s initials.
The keyboard was sitting haphazardly on the computer monitor. There was a scrying bowl on the desk where the keyboard should be. Steve was standing by the computer chair talking on the phone with his brother-in-law. “Thanks for keeping her. Bye.”
He hung up the phone and looked at the image in the scrying bowl. Though it was centered on Chris, it was not what drew and kept his attention. What did that was the woman sitting a few chairs away. Prue Halliwell.
Mumbling to himself, Steve said, “Never thought I’d see her alive,” before he ran his fingers through the liquid in the bowl, dispersing the image. He took a step away from the desk and blinked out.
When he rematerialized he was in the underworld in a gather chamber of some sort. There were lots of demons around. He looked around, searching for someone specific. An evil grin grew on his face as he spotted who he was looking for. He walked up to a demon with scars on both cheeks. “How’d you like to put a Charmed One back in her grave?”
And though going up against the Charmed Ones was crazy, it didn’t take much to convince this particular demon to take on the task.
