“They are “sonic” hugs and they never killed anyone yet.” Keyaira played with Hickory’s hair as he paged though the book, keeping an eye on his grandfather. “And your stories aren’t exactly “child friendly.”

“What, everyone loves the story on how little red riding hood hunted the wolf.” William shrugged innocently.  The word hunting got hickories attention.

“I like it when the wolf hunt little red riding hood.” He commented with a chirp. He then graphically showed how the wolf killed little red riding hood with one of his stuffed dolls. Keyaira sighed.

“You’re turning my child into a serial killer…”

“No need for thanks, the more hunters the better.” William grinned with his barracuda teeth.

“You can keep Eric for that…”

“HEY I AM STILL DOWN HERE!!” Eric gave one giant heave and pushed his father off the bed.  His father hissed up at him and Eric hissed back. With a pounce the two were rolling on the floor in a big heap of hissing and spatting.

“YEA GET HIM UNCLE, GO FOR THE NECK AND DON’T LET GO UNTILL HE STOPS MOVING!!” Hickory cheered on the fight. Keyaira’s eyes widened to the size of saucers at that comment.

“OK NO ROUGH HOUSING AT BEDTIME” She got up and kicked the roly poly ball. Her foot connected with Williams head. With that few seconds of being dazed, Eric managed to get him pinned.

“HA”

“Shut up, you cheated. The maiden helped you.” William sat there and growled at his son. Eric growled back.

“It’s BEDTIME now leave before I do worse that kick!” Keyaira hissed quietly the men. Hickory “oooohhh she is going to spit on you” at the men and both of them scrambled out of the room before any fireballs were tossed. Keyaira turned back to hickory.

“Where did you hear that?”

“Hear what?” He crawled on his bed and laid down with his mangled stuffed doll.

“That “go for the neck and don’t let go until they stop moving.” That’s what.”

“Oh! Grandpa taught me that when I was wrestling with one of the servants. Remember that pigman dinner we had a few night ago.”

Keyaira gawked at her son. Meanwhile she reached over and picked up some of hickories blankets that got tossed off the bed.

“I am going to teach Emmit that! Then we can wrestle together!!”

“NONO YOU ARE NOT TEACHING EMMIT THAT!” She accidently flung the blanket she was holding into the air from surprise. She was going to talk to William… Hickory yelped from the sudden blanket attack and accidently threw a fireball at his mother.  It blasted into her face with a sizzle and spark. When the smoke cleared, her face was covered with soot. Hickory dove under the blankets and peaked his eyes over the edge.

“ImsorryImsorryImsorryImsorry…” He squealed out. Keyaira stood there for a moment before rubbing her face. The soot got all over her white sleeve turning it a dusty grey. She looked at her sleeves and chuckled.

“Today has been an eventful day, hasn't it?” Keyaira chuckled once more and leaned over to kiss hickory on the head. He giggled and kissed keyaira on the cheek.

“Goodnether mommy.” Hickory whispered under his covers.
