The Girl Without the Halo

Which which which do I choose? Puzzled, belligerent, or surprised a small town, black cat petting, voodoo dolling sorceress knows what I am. Swear, I’ve been running into all kinds of things lately.

I'm surprised you didn't deny it. Doesn't matter though, you're basically human here. Might as well enjoy the humanity you've been temporarily given.

Dunno, miss. Never been one for fancy dress m’self, though.

A witch?

The hell if I know. If it’s not jaw-dropping, dead sexy, I’ll be disappointed in you. You’re not going to do the fishnet thing though, right? Stockings with garters is much sexier.

Fishnets are so 1990's. Stockings and garters are the way to go.

First off, it’s not my fault I have a photography memory. Second, anyone who doesn’t have a death wish. I’m Adam, but you can just call me the Devil. Guess what I’m gonna be for Halloween.

Wild guess, but I'm thinking.. an Incubus.

A witch—how appropriate.

Like I always say, who doesn't love a good witch? And of course, I'm gonna sex it up. What's the point doing it otherwise?

One of the witches from the 1993 Halloween children’s TV movie Double, Double, Toil and Trouble?

Okay, first off, whatever you just named is older than me. Second, who doesn't love a good witch?

Asking What? is like opening a can of worms, so I’m gonna pass today.

Because for a moment, I thought I saw an Alpha in front of me, but I guess I just see a fuck up. 

Care to be more specific?

Elijah Hawkens. 

Is there something else one does at parties? That’s like a requisite.

It's just.. sad, really. 

I don’t think i’ll be waiting much longer. I’m a tactical person and throughout my experience dealing with The Pack, I have acquired enough knowledge and leadership capabilities that will be highly beneficial when the time is right. Trust me, when I say this town will see much more than just death alone, I mean it. Something greater is happening, you and I both know that.

Something even more powerful than you is here in town now and your beloved Alpha is mingling with them, whether she realizes it or not. Do you think she actually cares about your family? About you?

Do you serve to make my life a living hell or is there an actual reason you’re denying me the joy and relief of medication?

Maybe you shouldn't have gotten stupid drunk last night. 

Sometimes you have to draw back and analyze things from afar. I don’t see myself as second. I know my worth. As long as I keep a neutral position within the pack, when the time comes for readjustment, I will make my presence known. 

Is that what you're waiting for? Readjustment? Or can you just not admit that you don't think you're ready even when the time is right?

Why?

Because of what I've done.

I have the worst headache.

Nope.
