Harvey
Winter was unforgiving this year. The darkness brought with it a
terrible and pervasive chill that seemed to penetrate the very walls of my
newly constructed cabin. The wood was barely a month old when it had
been chopped down, sliced, and erected into its current state. For something
hastily tossed together, it proved sufficient, and the fireplace held a
captivating fire.
I should have been warm while sitting at my desk. It was just a few
feet away from the flames, yet I felt the icy fingers of winter on the back of
my neck as I bowed over the papers in front of me. A blond man with stony
black eyes, a frail frame, and a slight hunch stood with his hands behind his
back near the flames. They danced in his eyes, and his glossy midnight
irises appeared mysterious and feral.
To anyone else, he was a demon wolf named Clancy; to me, he was
my best friend and my right-hand man. He knew how to calculate the
measurements of any standing structure just from a few minutes of
observation. His capabilities were amazing—so useful that he earned his
position without much effort at all.
The rest of the pack was highly supportive of him being at my side.
For the most part, none of them opposed my choices and were receptive to
him taking command whenever necessary. Clancy had always been an
excellent supporter, and everything he did was for the pack and for me.
My desk felt foreign, although it was also freshly-built and had a
coldness to the wood. It reminded me of the penetrating winter wind
smacking the side of the cabin that faced the ocean. We weren’t too far from
the shore, and easy food came from living close to such abundant waters.
The living room was compact but not uncomfortable, though if
filled with enough people, it would feel crowded. With Clancy present, it
was more like a foyer with a torn couch, a desk, and a small circular table
that was too tall to be a coffee table. It was strange seeing all my things cast
with firelight; it was as if I were witnessing the room for the first time. It
just took some getting used to.
If things became somewhat more normal, perhaps we could get a
little better. Many fish filled our nets, yet our appetites seemed to grow
stronger. Such was the burden of a possessed wolf. Without a name for my
demon and the appropriate ritual, I couldn’t exorcise it. I could shower in
holy water all day and still suffer its incessant whispers.
Those things that usually worked in the movies didn’t work in real
life. Even if I did know its name, I couldn’t perform the ritual myself. I had
to hire someone—a wise witch who had been practicing for many years.
Since our pack witch abandoned us, things haven’t been the same. That was
where Clancy kept stepping in, using his connection to his unnamed demon
to provide us with the magic we desperately needed. It was a valiant offer
that came with a heavy price.
