Whispering Demon
The darkness grows in shadows, or the shadow grows in Darkness.
"Grubbs! Keep your pets outside." Whined Dervish as the werewolves ran amuck around his mansion. He was busy trying to put back up the various weapons they had put in storage, however he wasn't getting far as the 'pets' as he had started calling them, where running from place to place knocking the ladder over.
"Well if I leave them out side they might go down to Carcery Vale and start eating everyone." Grubbs replied bluntly as he bit the nail of his big toe.
"That's disgusting, use some nail clippers!" Kernel said with disgust. He was flicking through the TV channels finding nothing good to watch.
They had been at Dervish's for three weeks waiting for news on new events but nothing. The demons had become silent. Crossings had gone back to small and easy to handle.
Meera visited regularly coming by every weekend. Beranabus and Bec where busy none knowing exactly what, more than likely gathering information on The Shadow. Dervish, Kernel and Grubbs had returned to Dervish's home to relax, however it seemed only Kernel and Grubbs where relaxing. Dervish was always working.
"Ok that's it!" Dervish Yelled dropping a mace on one of the hounds back, sending him sleepy byes. "I'm calling Shark, We're sending back to Wolf Island. I'm not having them making a mess of MY home!"
"Hey I live here too, and you said to send them back before and I did. But these few didn't want to leave, and well they brought their families." Grubbs said as he chuckled at the knocked out werewolf.
"Yes, well maybe you should go live with them. OH for God sake At least house train them." Dervish Groaned as he entered the kitchen, being sent to the floor by a fresh mess.
"I agree with Dervish, the place is starting to stink, and I can't seem to get any good sleep with these beasts going crazy." Kernel said as a pup tackled the Tv.
"Ahh ok, ok, I will put up a pen for them later, until Shark can take us back to the island." Grubbs submitted picking the pup up.
"You're paying for that. Answer the phone." Dervish Yelled as he took the ladder up the stairs.
The walls had been reinstalled with its weapons, the TV smashed and all the Hounds growled at the ringing contraption.
"Hello, Grady residence, Grubbs speaking."
"Oh Grubbs, How are you?" A women's voice asked
"Err I'm fine, may I ask who is calling?"
"Its Aunt Kate, You do remember me yes?"
"Oh Aunt Kate, Of course I remember you. How are you?" Dervish stopped at the top of the stairs with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Oh I'm fine, is dervish around?"
"Dervish can you come to the phone." Dervish nodded and placed the ladder against the wall.
"Hello? Oh Hi Kate, can I ask why your calling?" Dervish quickly asked avoiding unnecessary questions.
"Who that?" Kernel asked.
"My Aunt, I don't have a clue why she's calling Dervish, he's like the only one who talks about demons openly." Grubbs said eyeing Dervish as his face changed.
"Really? Is it that time already? Ahh yes I am sane I must have lost track of the date. Yes ok well see you soon bye." He hung the phone up, his face changed from confused to annoyed, and from annoyed to worry.
"Dervish everything ok?" Kernel asked
"What's the date?" He asked walking in to the kitchen.
"The 3rd of august. Why?" Grubbs asked care free
"Grubbs, what happens normally this time of year? When you where with your parents?" Dervish asked, looking far more worried.
Grubbs sat trying to think, but nothing came to mind, and well he couldn't really care.
"I don't know" He said as he went back to checking his toenails.
"It's the Grady Get together. It's my turn to host." Kernel and Grubbs starred at him. "They are coming here on Tomorrow till Monday.
It hit both of them like a rotten egg.
"Not good." Kernel muttered.
"Ahh crap." Was all Grubbs could say.
