Grey – Chapter 9

Cassern

Logan's POV

Six months since that hit list business happened and it's been peaceful. Julian's been hanging around Stiles and his alpha friend, Scott; which is good. It's good for Julian to have other friends besides that… brat… that… demon spawn. If he tries to hurt my Brother again, I'll… I don't know. He's a kid but he's so devious and manipulative, like his brother… god, I hate his Brother. The guy wouldn't leave me alone, ever since I created that ring for Julian; he's had a weird obsession with me.

Anyway, I'm working a night shift at the station answering calls and doing paperwork. I've been doing this for months I don't any problem with it but Parrish seems to have a problem with it. Ever since The Sheriff found out that I'm a witch, he's had me on desk duty with Parrish. Like I said, I no problem with desk duty but Parrish on the other hand does because he goes to confront the Sheriff. I shake my head and continue doing paperwork.

Someone approaches my desk and clears their throat "Hello, how may I…" I say as I look up and see who it is and I frown, it's Nathaniel Black; Demon Spawn's Brother. I glare at him "What the hell are you doing here?" I ask getting angry. Nathaniel chuckle "Is that anyway to speak to a citizen you're suppose to 'protect and serve'." He said, I scoff, yeah, I'd serve you right into a moving bus "Well, what are you doing here?" I ask irritated. Nathaniel smirks "I just wanted see my favorite witch." He said, "And I was wondering if you reconsidered my offer?" He asks. I sigh "There's no way in hell I'm ever working for you. Ever." I state, Nathaniel frowns for a second then he smiles "Well, my offer still stands, if you ever change your mind." He said as he was about to leave but he turns back to face me, "I have one more thing to ask." Nathaniel said.

I sigh, great he's gonna ask me again "How did you make that ring for your Brother? Was it dark magic? It had to be." Nathaniel said, I just stare at him not answering. Nathaniel smirks "Okay, you'll tell me someday." He said then he leaves. I let out a breath, wait, where's Parrish? "Sheriff, where's Parrish?" I ask him "I sent him away on a noise complaint. He should've called in by now." He said, huh, weird "Should I go and see what's taking him so long?" I ask, the Sheriff nods.

I get to the vacant house and go inside, I pull out my gun "Sheriff's Department!" I shout as I walk through the house. I reach the basement and find Parrish in the floor bleeding with large claw marks on his chest. I put my gun back in my holster "Sheriff, this is Deputy Grey. I have a code zero." I say into my radio, it's a code I came up with the Sheriff for the supernatural "Parrish. Parrish, buddy. You alive?" I ask concerned. I look at his wounds, why isn't he healing? The Sheriff finally gets here and we take Parrish to the hospital.

When we get their we bring him to Nurse McCall. The Sheriff and I lay Parrish the table in the morgue of the hospital "You said you were gonna keep him on desk duty." Nurse McCall chatises "Yeah, it was just a minor noise complaint." Sheriff said. Parrish's wounds start to smoke "Can't you do a spell or something?" Sheriff asks, I shake my head "I don't even know what he is and I don't want to try anything without knowing what he is." I tell him.

Suddenly Parrish sits right up, his eyes glowing orange; he turns to us, The Sheriff with his gun out and me ready to hex him if he charges at us. Parrish's eyes return to normal and his wounds have healed completely, I let out a sigh of relief. Man, this night is not what I expected. Glowing orange eyes… I have some research to do, what kind supernatural creature has glowing orange eyes?

Last night, nothing came of my research of creatures with glowing orange eyes, god, I hate to ask Nathaniel for anything but his family has met a whole manner of supernatural creatures and I've hit a dead end. Now, I'm at work and it's business as usual. Julian's at school, Stiles is here talking to the Sheriff, and I continue some paperwork from last night. Stiles approaches my desk "Hey, how I help you?" I ask him "Hey, Logan. Did Julian tell you about the new werewolf in town?" Stiles asks, I shake my head "Yeah, well Julian doesn't trust him and I'm with him on that." Stiles said, I chuckle, yeah, my Little Bro has trust issues and it didn't help that our family shunned him "Yeah, my Brother's good at reading people." I say "Witch's intuition." Stiles said, I laugh.

Stiles gives me a look "Don't tell me Julian was messing with me?" Stiles asks "No, he wasn't. Witch's intuition is very real and anyone who doesn't listen to it, is an idiot." I tell him "Hmm, then Scott is an idiot." Stiles said. Yeah, Scott seems like a good kid but he's too trusting… I have a feeling he'll learn a hard lesson in who he should trust and who he should not.

I go home after my shift, I grab a beer and sit on the couch. Julian finally comes home "A little late, aren't you?" I ask "Sorry, Logan. I was with Stiles and Liam following the new wolf, Theo." Julian said "Yeah, Stiles told me about him. Why don't you trust the new wolf?" I ask "He reminded me too much of Wayland. You'd know if you met him." Julian answers. I sigh "Please don't mention that Demon Spawn again." I say with distain.

Julian lets out a nervous breath "Well, speaking of him… I forgave him." He tells me "What?! Why?" I ask, Julian just shrugs his shoulders. I sigh "Well, I'm not letting him off that easily." I say "I didn't say you have to. Night, Logan." Julian said "Night, Little Bro." I say back. I can't believe he forgave that Demon Spawn, whatever I won't forgive him ever or his Brother for invading our lives.
