“We’re singing, if you can call it that,” Isaac answered. “Why? What’s up?”
“Just checking.”
Isaac smirked, giving me a mischievous look. “Shall I invite him in?”
Hell yeah!“I… I don’t mind.”
“Sure.” He pointed at my face. “Are you shy?”
“Don’t tease me,” I clapped back. “Because I’ll launch vicious singing critiques that’ll break your heart.”
He snorted so loudly it must have hurt his throat. “You’re too sweet to hurt my feelings.”
I puffed up my chest in a ridiculous attempt to prove him wrong. “You don’t know me well enough yet.”
Damn him for being right.
“Go on then,” he said, folding his arms. “Hit me with your best shot.”
“Right. Get ready.” I searched for something sassy to give him the smackdown.
And came up empty.
Crap.
“What’s taking so long?” he pressed.
“Give me a minute.” I’d used most of my insults on the goblin yesterday.
“I think Drake’s gone.”
That threw me off completely. “Dammit.”
Another mocking laugh. “My little brother is so sweet. It’s okay to be missing a bitchy side.”
There must be something I could throw at him to wipe the smugness off his face. I searched and probed the sassy vaults for a nugget of verbal attack to put him in his place.
Damn my empty storage.
Isaac slapped me on the back. “Never mind. Shall we sing?—”
The blue orb exploded into the room.

“What the fuck!” Isaac bellowed.
He saw it this time, wreathed in blue fire, bobbing in the center of the room. The black eel swam inside in tight figures of eight.
My bite mark stung in response.
“Moon slips away from me. You run. You run. You run. Give me what is mine. Go away, Sun. Go away.”
The temperature dropped, condensation puffing from our mouths. I froze, every limb aching.
Isaac stepped forward. “Who are you?”
