offices might exist in the back. Then she saw the balcony, and right in the center hanging over the edge was a strange gargoyle.
Could that be a clue to the location?
She hurried out of the main theatre and up steps leading to the balcony. She reached the gargoyle and looked around each side. The creature had huge pointed ears and its tongue sticking out. The eyes were looking towards her in a creepy way. Needing a better view, she climbed onto the thing’s head and looked over the front.
The tongue had a red streak that seemed a little out of place. Heather reached d own and touched it . It was a ribbon of some sort. Wondering what purpose that could possibly serve, s he grabbed it and pulled hard. The book it was attached to fell from the creature’s mouth and dangled from the ribbon in her hand .
“Holy shit!”
She nearly fell off the stone figure in her excit ement. She managed to climb down with the book safe ly in her hand, however. She sat down in a chair and looked at the old leather-bound book. It seemed so normal, if smaller than she expected, but she could almost feel the power emanating off it. This was definitely it.
She heard the door close out in the lobby and rushed to her feet. Down the stairs her feet flew and finally she jumped into the lobby with excitement. Perhaps actually having and holding the book would change Dhane’s mind about what kind of powerful mage he could be.
“ Dhane ?”
“No, not Dhane . You have what I’m looking for, though. If you hand it over nicely, maybe I won’t turn you into a toad. ”
Elisabeth was standing just inside the front doors and stepped towards Heather, causing her to t ake a step away from the witch . The book was clutched to her chest, and she wasn’t about to let it go.
“Sorry, this book doesn’t belong to you. Why don’t you go write your own little book? If you try to take this one, you just might get bit ten . ”
Elisabeth laughed and raised her fists out to her sides. She spouted a few words and sparks began to fly as she opened her hands.
“You can give the book to me, or I can take it by force, vampire.”
She stepped forward and the doors leading to the theatre all slammed shut. Heather was trapped, and there was no way the witch would really let her get close enough to sink her teeth in. She could only hope she could stall just long enough for…
“ Dhane !”
He pushed in through the front doors behind Elisabeth and waved his hands as he spoke a spell. The sparks vanished from Elisabeth’s hands and she spun around to face him.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“Same thing you are , retrieving that book .”
She tried another spell before realizing he had done a disenchanting spell. A curse escaped her lips and she thought about running for Heather to try and take the book. The vampire would be able to fight back in a purely physical battle, though , and a single bite could be enough to kill a normal person .
“I’m going to tell Cassandra about this and get you kicked out.”
“Go ahead. It will go over great as I hand in the spell book so it can be dealt with properly.”
Dhane walked over to Heather and she handed him the book. The power was immense, sending pulses through his body. He knew he had to get rid of this book as soon as possible.
“You made an enemy here today, Dhane !”
He nearly laughed at Elisabeth’s words.
“And what exactly was our relationship before?”
She stormed out and left them to breathe a sigh of relief. Dhane shoved the book into his jack et and Heather fell into his arms.
“Thank God you arrived when you did. Were you able to rescue that other witch from the werewolves? ”
“ Yeah, she’s safely hidden outside. We’re not through this yet. Let’s get out of werewolf land in one piece . Then I can call Cassandra and arrange to turn this damn thing in before anything bad happens with it .
