Chapter 57: Between Two Ghosts

"Leave me alone." I straighten my shoulders, but I really don't want to have to deal with their shit right now or ever.

"Woohoo." Sullivan holds up his hands. "Guess she told us."

Mercier laughs. "Whatcha doing out here so late? Looking for your ghost lovers again?" He makes smooching sounds and puckers his lips while he rubs his arms up and down his body.

Last time I was here with these wolves, they nearly killed me and got a little bite happy. But that was before I accepted my magic and blew apart a wraith.

"Don't you two have anything better to do? Like chase and actual rabbit or squirrel or something?"

"Nah, that can get boring." Mercier traces his lower lip with his thumb. "But you might entertain us for a long time. I can hear your heart pounding in fear from here."

"Yes, fear that I might accidentally kill you with my power." After all, I had collapsed a leyline. I squeeze my eyes shut briefly, praying that Jacques was still in the abyss somewhere.
