Happy Halloween

Yeah, it's Halloween so all kinds of freaky things are going on in the Quarter (and other places). To say my nerves are shot, is an understatement. Halloween is code for "Let's all hunt and kill Malachai." And with the veil being thin, it's much worse than normal. I've been more nervous than a three-tailed cat in a rocking chair factory.

So what does my ever-loving demon bodyguard decide to do? Allay my fears? Oh, yeah! Never. Nah, nah, nah. My zoo crew (literally) decides to wake me this morning in full-on zombie makeup. My mom will be repairing the claw marks from the ceiling for the next year. This, boys and girls, is why demons shouldn't be friends with Hel Hounds and never, ever let them befriend a Celtic war god on top of it. If I make it to dawn, it'll be a bigger miracle than normal.

Is Nick looking forward to Halloween? No. Is the zoo crew? Of course. It's the one time Simi, Caleb, Kaziel, Aeron and Vawn can go out and flaunt their real skins and no on blinks. I go out as Malachai . . . yeah. Ain't enough duck urine in the world to protect me.

Oh well. Hope the rest of you have a Happy Halloween (and one a lot safer than mine).

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

It’s that time of year again! Ma’s been in the kitchen for days, cooking and making all kinds of eats! Simi would be proud. I, on the other hand, am so stuffed, no one better be chasing me for awhile or else it will end badly.

For me.

Which is why Caleb is sleeping over, though he ate enough I doubt he could do much running or fighting, either. So don’t nobody be telling our enemies.

L’enfant was found by Kody this year. I still say she cheated. Haven’t figured out how, but I know she did. Best day ever, Mark let us all crash on his balcony for the parades. He has the best view in down and I have enough beads to sink a Mardi Gras float.

Now Ash, Talon, and Kyrian are out patrolling. And we are kicking back, watching TV and having a blast. Bubba is out with my mom and I don’t want to know . . .

But he promised to have her in by ten or they’d turn into pumpkins. Or, better yet, I’ll send Eros after them, lead arrow loaded. Yeah, I got connections!

Actually, I really don’t have to worry since they went to Sanctuary to eat, and for the annual Masquerade Party. So I know the Peltiers will be keeping an eye on my mom. And Dev has volunteered to hold Bubba down for me should he get a little too frisky. Not that he has, but it’s nice to know the Bears got my back.

All right, I’m heading back to my girl and my boys before they eat me out of condo and home. Later, gators.

Man up or mouse off?

Actually drove by myself for the first time to pick up some of Kyrian's new toys. Have to admit, driving is epic. I love the freedom.

I took the Bentley cause I didn't want to chance scratching anything with the metal. But before I took my stuff in, I thought I'd be nice and wash and wax it and the Lambo for Kyrian. I was feeling pretty good about myself as I gathered the weapons to head in while I waited for the wax to dry. Wouldn't you know it, as I reached the door, Rosa came rushing out and scared the crap out of me. Wouldn't have been so bad had I not lost my grip and sent a sword straight into the fender of the Lambo. I am so dead. Kyrian never hesitates to let me know that the Lambo means a lot more to him than I do.

Wondering if I should leave town... nah, my mom would hunt me down for him.

Wait for him to see it? That never works out in my best interest.

Guess I'll have to throw myself on his mercy. Wonder if I can talk Rosa into making his favorite meal before I do so. Better do some other amends, too, for good measure.

Dang, Caleb. You can protect me from demons. Can't you, for once, protect me from one pissed off Greek general? Seriously, dude. I need help.

Misery, thy name is Nick…

I think my "book"- yeah, that one- got a little hungry today. It dang near tore off my fingers when I went to consult it about a minor aggravation earlier. Anyone know anything about troll demons? Not the kind that live under a bridge. The kind that eats those and apparently tries to kill other life forms named Gautier. It's hard to hide the bruises and scratches from my mom. Thankfully, I heal fast, but still... I miss the days when I could go swimming. Now, if I dared, I'd have to come up with stories like someone dropped a house on me and then bit me a few times when they were trying to get me out of the rubble. Think anyone would buy it? Me, either.

Fine, off to do homework, then off to see what Kyrian wants me to do. Really want a car, Ma. It would make my world a lot easier.

Later.

Shoot me!

Up way too early. Liza wanted me to hose off the street and balcony this morning. Said she'd pay extra, but why? Humans shouldn't be awake at this hour, especially not growing boys. I think she stunted at least three inches off my final height.

Now the day's going to be extra long and I have to unload all the new inventory that came in yesterday. That's all right. Building muscle. I need that.

But man, I'm tired.
