Chapter Four
"All right, I want to know what the hell is going on!" Max finally demanded causing Binx's glance to turn to him instead of Dani. "Who were those guys and why do they want Dani?"
"You must be willing to accept what I am about to tell you," Binx warned before beginning. Max nodded and Binx took a deep breathe and began his story.
"The Sanderson sisters were not the only people who studied witchcraft. There are plenty other clans that do so. The most dangerous clan is the one we just faced known as The Brotherhood. We have been watching them for quite some time."
"We?" Allison inquired with curiosity.
"Heaven," Binx responded then continued. "The leader, Gavin, is a ruthless warlock, but completely alone. His dream is to find a bride so he is not alone anymore. And it seems to me that he has picked Dani as his target."
"That's all extremely interesting," Dani added. "But how about explaining how you are back here?"
"I have been guarding you three since you freed my soul," Binx began. "It's my thanks to you. When we discovered what The Brotherhood was up to they allowed me to come back to protect you and destroy The Brotherhood. But once my job is complete I will be called back up. But the bright side is that I can't die again."
Max, Allison and Dani looked upon one another thinking over the past ten years. Binx has been their guardian angel and it had elated them tremendously, however, Dani's grin soon faded when Binx added that he would have to go back.
"Let's continue on," Binx replied working his way down the sewer.
The Brotherhood had threw on their capes and grabbed their brooms. Opening the door the night breeze blew into the house as Gavin, Jareth and Bryce entered the sky.
"Spread out and find them," Gavin ordered as Jareth and Bryce headed off in different directions.
Around one in the morning Max, Allison, Binx and Dani had arrived back at Max's apartment.
"I'll get you some clothes Binx," Max said walking into their bedroom.
"Thanks," Binx replied as Allison walked off into the kitchen. Dani and Binx remained in the living room. Dani kept her eyes on Binx still not believing that he was there. However, anything Binx's eyes met hers she turned away.
"Here you go," Max said throwing a pair of jeans and black sweater towards Binx. "Bathroom's over there." Binx didn't even bother trying to say something to Dani. He walked into the bathroom and a few minutes later walked out fully dressed even with socks and black boots.
"So what do we do now?" Allison asked walking back out into the living room.
"We should first bring Dani back home," Binx suggested. "They don't know where she lives."
"Good idea," Max replied. "Binx, you bring her home and Allison and I will go and get some supplies and meet you back there. Take the sewers instead though, for all we know they could be flying through the air right now searching for Dani."
"All right, see you there," Binx responded as he and Dani left the apartment.
The Brotherhood had no leads in finding Dani and Gavin was growing impatient.
"My dear sweet bride to be," he said to himself. "Come out come out, wherever you are."
Dani felt someone calling her while she and Binx walked through the sewers. The silence was irritating her and someone needed to say something. She just didn't think Binx would be the one to do it.
"Dani?" he said.
"No, don't," Dani replied putting her hand up and turning towards him. "I don't want to hear it."
"You don't even know what I was going to say," Dani was silent. She was dying with curiosity with what he had to say so she silently expressed her feeling that she wanted to hear what he had to say and so Binx began.
"I hear you," he started.
"You hear me?"
"When you come to my grave every Halloween and talk to me…I hear you." Dani was shocked. She never thought that he was listening. "And I have missed you all too much."
"You don't know what it feels like," Dani exclaimed.
"What what feels like?" Binx asked perplexed.
"To have a piece of your heart missing for ten years," Dani and Binx moved closer to one another as she continued. "Ever since that night when you left a piece of me has been missing and I can't stand this pain. You don't have any idea what this feels like!" Dani started flipping out, the tears starting to run down her eyes.
"Dani!" Binx shouted trying to calm her down. "Dani!" Placing his hands on her arms he finally relaxed her. "I do know what it feels like."
"What do you mean?"
"Since the day I left you a piece of my heart has been missing as well," Binx placed a hand on her cheek slightly stroking it. "I love you, Dani." Dani was silent until she felt the glorious touch of Binx's lips upon hers.
"All right, I want to know what the hell is going on!" Max finally demanded causing Binx's glance to turn to him instead of Dani. "Who were those guys and why do they want Dani?"
