Disclaimer: I do not own Demon's Lexicon and I'm not the author and just like the book

Authors Note-

There is a chapter just like to add that I don't quite understand why everyone needs to write a disclaimer when we post on a site called fanfiction and all of what we write is not part of the book.

Besides that hope you enjoy and sorry about not being much of an updater.

"I have a feeling this is going to be one hell of an explanation," Mae said following Alan.

Mae and James followed Alan into the kitchen. Once they were all inside the kitchen Mae started her questioning.

"What is going on Alan?" Mae asked confused, "Why do you have a gun and what do you have to do with this?"

"Calm down Mae. You're overreacting. This is not as bad as what you believe. I'm still me, the guy who works at a bookstore and loves reading. This gun is not and won't be directed at you anytime soon. You've just witnessed some abnormal activity by your standards and need to relax. "Alan said in a calm reassuring voice. The moment it did Mae and Jamie were instantly relaxed. There was something about his voice that made people calm down. Be okay with what he said even though he could possibly be wrong.

"Will you still tell us what you have to do with this?" Mae asked.

"We should wait for Nick, till then why don't you make yourself comfortable in the sitting room while I go make some tea?" Mae and Jamie just looked at each other a bit then Mae nodded. Together they went over to the other room. Looking around Mae could easily see that Alan and Nick weren't living in luxury by their bare peeling walls and sparse furniture. The noise of boiling water filled the still air followed by the soft clatter of cups being put on a counter.

"Mae, are you sure about this?" Jamie asked in a hushed tone.

"It's too late to back down now. Plus I'm curious about what they have to do with our problem. You can't tell me you're not curious about that too." Mae replied.

"I guess…" Jamie trailed off. At that moment Alan walked in with three cups of tea.

"Come on you two sit down. Relax I'm not going to hurt you and the tea is not poisoned." Alan once again reassured then handed them both a cup a tea. He then sat down in one of the armchairs gesturing for Mae and Jamie to do the same. Mae took the cup and followed Alan's example by sitting in the only other armchair available.

*I'm going to skip the introducing the problem because honestly I disliked that chapter but to change it feels wrong. So skipping that plus I don't want to try and make up useless dialogue till Nick gets back and have to transition it.*

*Starting from the point in the book where Nick is looking at the carpet, Mae and Jamie are spazzing and Alan is doing something*

"Jamie, die? That can't happen. He's all I have. There has to be something that these two can do. There must be something that I can do. I'm not going to let him die." Mae thought to herself.

"Mist inside." Nick's voice broke Mae's thoughts.

"Why does it matter that there is mist?" Mae thought to herself.

"Out of striking range," Alan said. This obviously confused both Mae and Jamie because they had no idea what striking range was and how mist had anything to do with it?

"Get onto the chairs. Get your feet off the floor," said Alan continuing his order. Mae climbed onto the chair and looked around to see Jamie on the sofa muttering quietly. Continuing to look around she saw Nick, still standing, pick up his sword.

"How much can a sword do compared to a gun?" thought Mae.

"Mist, is it a vampire?" Mae asked out loud. Not looking at her Nick answered, "No, woman, it's not a vampire; it's another stupid illusion from stupid magicians who think we'll be too distracted by their first attack to notice it." Mae fidgeted in her seat. Then there was the noise of Nick moving and something attacking Alan. She didn't quite understand what had just happened but Nick suddenly turned to her and growled, "You're wearing it." His tone scared Mae. Reflexively she put her hand on neck. Alan broke Nick's intense and furious stare by saying, "Nick, calm down. It's only a first-tier mark. We'll take care of it. We'll go to the Goblin Market and have it removed." As Alan said this, Mae just started at Nick who remained frozen before yelling at Mae and Jamie to leave. They didn't need to be told again and together they left scrambled off the chairs and fled with their lives. After they had run a little while away from the house they looked at each other.

"Okay so that was weird." Mae said. Jamie just nodded.

"We should go back tomorrow though to continue questioning them. Also hopefully by then Nick will have calmed down." Mae continued.

"Are you sure we should go back Mae? He seemed really mad."

"Yes we still need them to give us more answers. They know what the mark is and understand more of this kind of stuff than we do. We've taken the first step we can't back down now."

"I guess…"

"Come on lets go home."

And finished with this kind of really short chapter…I'm getting lazy on my first fan fic…I have commitment issues…and lack of good time management. Anyways if I have time I'll continue if not this will just sit around not really read.

Anyways…REVIEWWW!
