Sophie 10:37PM

Nate had started another argument and I had to keep Parker's mouth shut with my hand just so she wouldn't shut them up with her magic. Magic first, how the hell is magic even real. You hear about it in fairy tales and children books but you never see them in real life. I don't understand that if she is so young and she can control her powers why doesn't Parker use it as a grown up. It would be really helpful when we are on cons yet I don't think she actually uses it as an adult either.

Parker was once again fidgeting in my lap and it was bothering me. I had tried to get her to go to sleep like a million times yet she stayed awake. Even I myself am tired and I am used to endless late night drives. I personally think the nap that she had earlier is the reason she is staying up so long but aren't naps good for children. I surely would like to take a nap every afternoon. Since I was failing with what Hardison would call epically I allowed a little contest to start. I am tired so who cares who gets her to sleep. As long as she is sleeping.

"Hardison if you can get this little lady to sleep I will try your Wizard of what Craft thing. Anybody else that tries and succeeds I'll give them one grand."

He raised his hands in triumph, excitement and victory. I handed her over to him and she snuggled into his chest. I could tell though she was still wide awake.

"Elizabeth can you sing your A B C's for me please."Hardison asked

She shook her head no.

"How about this Elizabeth you say a letter and name something that starts with it. Like this A is for Alec." Nate asked

"OK"

"B is for balloon." Hardison said.

"C is for California." Nate said looking back.

"D is for Demon!" she screeched.

This was a big mistake for Nate wasn't concentrating on the road which means he didn't see the man in the middle of the street. When he finally looked up he saw the man. He turned immediately saving the man. Happy we saved the man but a little disappointed because we ended up hitting a pole which wrecked the car. Which is our what, our transportation and it was cold.

"Demon."

"Come on honey not everyone we happen to pass by is a demon." I said

"Nope she is right it's a demon." Tara who had been quiet the whole ride said.

I looked out of our crashed window to see the cloaked man who didn't seem fully visible was heading towards us with a fireball at hand. We all ran out of the car into the cold. Eliot was a good hitter but this was a magical force and I am glad he noticed that or he would be toast. Not toast actually maybe baked chicken nope baked...

"Come on" Nate yelled to get my attention.

You can't exactly run fast with heels and a four year old on your hip in forty degree weather. Nothing less this is life or death.

-Achoo-.

Parker sneezed causing us to go up in white lights before settling down again upon the Earth beside Nate. Great more powers.

"Honey freeze him.."

She tried. She truly did. I can see her flicking her hands out and trying her best to concentrate but it didn't work. The more the demon got closer the more frightened she got and I could only think this was the end.

"Give me the girl and you live."The cloaked spirit said.

I stepped protectively in front of Parker as well as Eliot. I was not giving her up. Take my life but he sure as hell was not going to take my girl. My Parker."

"Uh No."

The demon snapped his fingers and three other demons shimmered in. Behind them was a different light, one that looked like Parker's when she sneezed. It was bright and beautiful and I was hoping that it was an angel coming to save us.

The cloaked figure stepped towards us and so did the others. He was just about to order fire on us when the three demons from behind disappeared into a pile of ashes.

"Don't touch her." a familiar voice said as lightning flashed out of the speakers hands killing the demon instantaneously.

"My Elizabeth la bellezza." The voice said and I was almost confused. was that..

"Who is he?" Eliot asked

I didn't have to answer for Parker was already running into her father's arms.

"Daddy!"she screeched.

"Daddy?"Nate asked.

"Oh yeah D is for Daddy." I said biting my lip trying to lighten the mood.

"And E is for Eliot." Eliot said trying to help.

Nate's face contorted but before we could say anything we were up in blue lights only to find ourselves in warm room right in front of a big giant book. Labeled the Book Of Shadows. Nice name Huh?
