Ch.  5  Cozy Fires and Stories

After releasing Spencer from the hug she looks at Ashley funny. “Did you feel that?  There was this weird feeling of electricity that I felt coming off of you.”

“Yeah, I felt it too.  What do you think it could be?”

“I really don’t know.”  Spencer reaches down to pet Kelsey’s head as she thinks about what just happened.  “It was probably just a fluke from static in the air from the storm.  But, I’ll just go get started on the fire now.  You comin’ Kelsey?”

Kelsey sat down and twitched his tail clearly showing that he was going to stay up stairs and check out Ashley and Damon a little more by just observing.

^Spence I’m going to stay here and see if I can talk to Daemon.  I know what he is and he is no ordinary wolf.  We guardians can identify each other through our special connection with our witches.^

“I’ll see you in a few minutes Spencer.”  Ashley tells her as she disappears into her room to change clothes.  Daemon walks outside of the room and sits outside of the door to talk to Kelsey.

*I suspected that you where a guardian when Spencer said that you where a panther.  But what I don’t get was why you where up in her room and not out on the jog with her.*

^That is a funny explanation. First, I could tell that you where a guardian when you walked out the door and I saw the connection within you.  The story behind me not running with Spence is that I really don’t have an affinity for water.  The last time I want out some kids came and thought I was just a large cat and wanted to play with me.  I let them but they took me to their house with Spencer following close behind.  I was walking backwards on my hind legs showing them a trick that Spencer taught me to entertain kids and families so I did not seem so scary (their words not mine) to be around.  So, there was this bucket that was placed just perfectly and I got my foot stuck in it.  That would not have been so bad if it was not full of water.  I shook my foot for half an hour at least.  Now I don’t run with Spencer because the kids always want me to perform that trick for them but I really hate it so I stay in to avoid all the kids.^
