"She may look fragile, Mr. Delgaard, but don't believe for one second that Charlotte can't keep up with us supernatural. She's been doing it unknowingly her whole life." Matilda put the last of her potions away and looked to her sister, "Are you coming Demelza?" A flush appeared on her twin's cheeks as Demelza murmured, "I might stay awhile, to make sure Charlie is okay." "Yeah, you're not fooling me, if you want to stay and continue making goo-goo eyes at Mr dragon guard over there at least be honest about it." Matilda laughed.

Delma turned, heading to the door. "In other words?" Barbia leaned forward, turning her face to the back to stare at Delma. "I'm leaving Dirty South in two days." Delma halted. "Where will you be moving to?" Barbia questioned. "Anywhere far from here." Delma said. "I wish you the best Dirty South and Coco Kaave will offer." With that, Delma stormed out of the living room. For a moment her last words frightened Barbia, but she quickly waved the fear away, calculating how wonderful her life will be when Chief Onapuruagu falls prey to her. Afterall all, quitters never win, and winners never quit.

Except she was cheating and getting that heated sex elsewhere. But that wasn’t Delilah’s business. She wanted to see what made Emilia become a public sensation overnight.

The days bleed into one another in a dim cadence of restless hours and unbroken silence, with Demika hidden away in the secluded corners of Minama’s cottage. The air within these walls is thick, a heavy shroud of mourning still tinged with Granny Minama’s spirit, even though her presence now lingers as only shadows and echoes. Demika clings to her solitude like a lifeline, guarding it fiercely within the shadows of Granny Minama’s cottage. This sanctuary, thick with ancestral whispers and cloaked in twilight, is her one remaining tether to the world before her transformation.

“Good morning. Rickshaw, isn’t it? I’m Emma Fleming. I’ve come to return a book to His Grace.” Although he had only set eyes on her once before, Rickshaw remembered his master’s youngest ward perfectly. As she stepped daintily over the threshold of Delmere House, a picture in a confection of lilac muslin, he gathered his wits to murmur, “His Grace is not presently at home, miss. Perhaps his secretary, Mr. Cunnings, could assist you.” Rickshaw rolled one majestic eye toward a hovering footman who immediately, if reluctantly, disappeared in the direction of the back office frequented by the Duke’s secretary.
