lightning storm

I scratch my chin slightly in thought. "Sort of an odd request but..." I glance down at Wykkyd and see her eyes are starting to mist up thinking that I might deny her request.

"Sure...why not, I'll make use some dinner and you can see my library." She looks at me with a slightly confused look. "Dont worry little one, you'll like this." I give her a wink.

As soon as we enterd my house I led Wykkyd into my study to show her my collection of rare and old magic/occult books. Her eyes light up and she looks like a kid at christmas morning. She turns to me and hands me a card. {A-are ALL these books yours John?}

I chuckle slightly. "Yep.. course I usually do my buying through intermeadarys so you might not be two familier with some of them." She hesatates slightly before touching one of them. "Dont worry, you can look at any of the books here. In fact why dont you make yourself at home and I'll wip us up sum dinner."

She nods happly before placeing her book on the table.

A little later I'm in the kitchen prepareing dinner and suddenly. (BOOM!!!) A huge thunderclap exploades next to the house as it starts to rain. "Shit...this is starting to get bad...I hope...(BOOM!!!!!) Anoother clap exploades and the lights snap out.

"....fuck.... I hope Wykkyd is ok." I grab some candles and head out into the hallway. Makeing my way to my study I peak into the door "Wykkyd? Are you ok?" I step inside and spot a huddled mas shakeing in the corner. I reach out to the mass and gently place my hand on it. "Wykkyd? Sweety...it's ok....I'm.."

Before I can finish she pounces onto me grasping for dear life. "Shh....it's ok...it's just lightning....I'm here..." I start to gently stroke her back and speak in soothing tones. "Hmm...so much for dinner..."
