Chapter Six


The ride to The Downward Spiral took almost twenty minutes. Cameron asked me once if I wanted to come along. I wanted to talk to Asher before I left, but I needed to get out of the Circus of the Damned. That place bothers the hell out of me. Julie's death is the only other major thing that bugs me. All the small things tend to do me in.
When I first looked into the door's windows of The Downward Spiral, I saw Edward and Nicole talking by themselves at the bar. But, when I opened the door, Anita was standing next to the two of them. She seemed to be the bringer of bad news from the expression on Nicole's face. I walked over to the three of them bitterly. I wasn't too happy with my time in this town, well I really didn't want to talk to Anita again.
Edward was sitting on a stool with his arms crossed. Nicole was standing above Edward with her arms flailing around her when I got there.
"What's going on?"
She looked at me with a pissed expression. "Edward won't tell me who Donna is."
I raised my eyebrow at Anita. She just shrugged.
"Edward! Who the hell is Donna?"
He stood up and tried to get away from Nicole. She ran up behind him grabbing his arm. She forced him to look at her.
She crossed her arms over her chest, stomping her left foot. "I thought you loved me Edward. I thought I was THE ONLY ONE!" She was screaming in his face, but he didn't move back. He stood there taking it.
"Who is she?"
"Donna's the mother of the children I take care of."
"Have you had sex with her?"
He glared at her face as if he didn't understand. She stood on her tippy toes staring into his eyes.
"Have you slept with her?"
"Yes."
She stepped away from him cursing into the air. She paced back and forth in a tight circle.
"Nicole?" She ignored him when he called her name.
He walked up to her. "Nicole, I'm sorry."
He touched her shoulder, but she reared back with her fist in the air. She raised it and hit him in his left eye. He fell back with his hand covering his eye.
Anita and I started laughing, but quit when Nicole looked back at us with her fist in the air. I rolled my eyes and sat down on a stool. Anita followed me.
Edward stood next to Nicole, who held a different look upon her face. I suppose her pissed off stage passed by. His voice was pleading with her. Telling her the sweet nothings in her ear that she needed to hear. I ignored them concentrating on Anita.
She was staring at me looking extremely tired. "What happened to you?"
"The bad guys got me. They didn't brand me or anything. They just wanted to scare me."
"How long have you been out?"
"Two hours. I woke up in Jean-Claude's room with Asher at my side. How was your night?"
"A bloody murder, pissed off cops, magic. Just another pitiful crappy night."
I smiled up at her. "Sucks to be you."
She laughed.
Both of our attention was turned to Nicole and Edward as they walked to a corner. We heard disgusting love sounds coming from them. Things people only do in the privacy of their own home.
"Hey! You guys wanna get a room. That is disgusting."
Nicole looked at me with an evil smirk. I'm guessing that meant no.
I turned back to Anita to see her messing with her beeper. The only sound person in this room might have to leave. Where is Cameron?
