The next night Jillian excitedly came out of his bedroom. Her smile was big and her dark eyes were locked in on him as she almost bounced over to him. Scud was working at the counter again with his back to her. He dropped a screwdriver and cursed softly to himself. He bend down to pick it up but Jillian grabbed his arm quickly, stilling his movements.
" Wait, let me do it." She said. He held up his hands and smiled at her.
" Have at it." He said. She held her hand over the screwdriver and it quickly flew up into her hand. She handed it over to him with a bright smile. Scud grinned as he took it back from her.
" And that's not all. I did more practicing after we went to bed last night and I'm getting faster at making things, watch." Instead of making a bowl with her hands she passed her hand quickly over his counter and three screw drivers appeared out of thin air.
" Holy shit, Jilly! That was wicked fast!" He said.
" I know, right! We need to think of more stuff for me to do." She said. He couldn't help but to continue to grin at her. She was so excited, her smile and eyes were so bright. Once again he was struck by how beautiful she was. He liked helping her. He liked knowing something he was helping her with was making her smile that much.
" Jillian." At the sound of Blade's voice, Scud dropped his eyes to the counter top and he pretended to be busy. She sighed and walked over to Blade as Whistler came over to Scud.
" Hey ass hole, Blade and I are going out for the night. We are going to look for this vampire name Nicholas. Keep your hands off my daughter." Whistler said.
" Yeah, no problem," Scud said, looking at the old man. " But what if she can't keep her hands off me?" He snapped.
Blade had made Jillian follow him to his car. He adjusted his sunglasses as he looked at himself in his side door mirror. Jillian crossed her arms loosely in front of her chest as she waited for him to speak. Blade was going to make a point to her, she could tell. He was taking his good old sweet time doing it, but he was going to get to it. Blade straighten up and looked at her.
" Whistler and I are going out. We are going to find out who is looking for you, maybe take some of the bastards out tonight as well. I want you to stay away from Scud. I know about your little trips to the roof. He's not your type of guy." Her big brother said.
" Just stop, Blade. Look, you and Whistler are the only family I have but you have to back off. I am not a child anymore. If I want to like someone, I can." Jillian said. Blade sighed as he frowned.
" I know you're not. But Scud's not the type of guy you want to get involved with. If you don't believe me, read his mind. Scan his thoughts and memories." He said.
Scud watched as Jillian waved to Whistler and Blade when they pulled out of the garage. She stood in her same spot until the garage door was shut then she faced him quickly. She had her arms still crossed in front of her chest. She moved from one foot to the other, shifting her weight back and forth as she looked at him.
" They will be gone all night, won't they?" She asked.
" Yep." He said as he turned back to the table, giving her his back. A line of cold water suddenly went down the center of his back, completel shocking him and making him jump. He whipped around quickly. Jillian was standing, still in her spot, with a water gun in her hand and a smile.
" Come on, Josh. Show me what you are made of." She said. A water gun appeared beside him on the floor. He grinned and picked it up.
" Are you sure about this?" He asked.
" What's the matter? Scared you'll get beat up by a girl?" She teased.
" Oh alright. I see how this is going to go. No rules but no using super speed. Sound like a plan?" He asked. Jillian nodded.
" Deal. Get ready to have your ass handed to you." She said. Scud bent down and picked up his gun.
" We'll see about that." He said.
