The silence in Mayor Brown’s office was suffocating. It was like being
called to the principal’s office in high school. Sam and I were familiar with
that feeling because back in high school, we had more than our fair share of
getting into trouble. Usually together. And it was usually Sam’s fault.
Okay, so some of it was mine too. After all, we’d been besties since we
were in diapers, which felt like a million years ago.
It was way too early in the morning for me to be up. But here I was, in a
meeting with the Mayor of Shipton Harbor.
Drew, Sam, Olivia, and I shifted uncomfortably in our seats as the seconds
stretched into an eternity. I glanced at my husband, then at my two besties
before clearing my throat and focusing on the Mayor. “So, um, you were
one of the people who saw the moving statues.”
Mayor Brown arched one dark eyebrow. His lips pressed into a thin line. He
was not amused by the display of magic at the Christmas in July festival
last night. I still failed to see how it was our fault the statues came to life in
the first place.
“I’ve…we’ve got something to tell you.” I shifted in my seat again and
exchanged a glance with Drew. “Maybe we should’ve told you this a long
time ago, I don’t know, but the thing is…” Man, why was this so hard to
say? “The thing is, is that the world is full of people and creatures so
fantastical—”
“Let me stop you right there, little lady,” he said, with a tinged with
amusement. “I probably know more about the magical world than you do.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. The notion was absurd. “I highly doubt that.”
Drew snickered beside me and Sam, ever the show-off, bared his fangs in a
smirk. But my laughter died when Mayor Brown continued, unphased by
our disbelief.
“Shipton Harbor was founded by the magical,” Mayor Brown said, locking
gazes with me. “Those founding fathers that your sweet little baby caused
to erupt from their stoney lonesomes? They were nephilim.”
“Erm, nephilim?” Drew echoed the word.
I threw up a hand, cutting through the confusion. “Hold up, what do you
mean our baby?”
“Your little baby girl. She was the one who the magic came from,” Mayor
Brown said with a chuckle. “I thought you were supposed to be some kind
of fancy witch. Can you not sense when your infant is doing magic?”
Um, excuse the frick out of me? Before I could retort and defend myself,
Drew grabbed my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze while saying,
“Nephilim are a myth.”
Mayor Brown’s laugh boomed around the room. “You hunters and your
arrogance. The world is full of sights and creatures you could never
imagine, isn’t that what you just started to say to me?” His gaze held a
challenge as he looked at us.
