Page 42 of Total Lunar Eclipse
Neptune is smarter than the rest of us and doesn’t push for more details.
Or maybe he saw into Mars’ thoughts and is in shock.
I don’t have time to contemplate it further, because Zahra is calling us all to attention.
She clears her throat a couple of times.
“We did it! We finally made it back together again! I’m going to call the Minors together, and then we are going to get a plan of action to break this curse! We. Are. Going. To. Bend. Moon’s ass. Over. The. Barrel,” she shouts in staccato triumph, “and ninja peg the shit out of her!”
Mars’ and Saturn’s groans join mine.
Fuck our lives.
CHAPTER 20
ZAHRA
I feel the deep glow of love spread through my body when I see all my guys together again. Of course, we all ended up back in their office. Fitting, since this is where it all began. I’m so happy to see Mio again. I run to him and tackle him to the ground, kissing his face over and over. He’s so weak that he’s in human form, so I feed him some of my powers with each kiss to fortify him.
Caed, Khal, Arawn, and the twins are still in god form, and I’m glad to see how strong they are. I know Caed and Arawn can pull strength from me through our bond and the others can do the same from one another. I feel the others feeding Mio energy, as well, and my grin grows. Bitchhole’s attempt to weaken us didn’t work!
Unless you count losing Nyam and Kane. . .
Fuck, she did weaken us.
I push the depressing thoughts out of my head. We’re finally together again and we need a plan of action.
ASAP.
I call everyone’s attention by shouting my intentions of getting the Minors and ninja pegging Lina’s ass. Instead of a resounding cheer, I’m met with silence. I take that back, Khal and Caed are groaning. Ungrateful wretches! I give them a glare, then close my eyes and summon the Minors to me. Instantly, Vesta answers that her, Ceres, Juno, Pallas, and the Elements are on their way.
“What about Edgar?”I ask Mrs. Gerty.
“He’s decided to stay back in the tenth dimension. He’s investigating something.”
“What?”
“I don’t really know,”Mrs. Gerty murmurs absently in my head.
I suddenly get the image of her, staring at Water, with the same love-struck face he’s looking at her with.
Ugh,young love.
Caed chuckles at my thoughts.
“We’ll be there soon,”Mrs. Gerty promises.
Khal, of course, then takes over bringing order to our group. He walks over to his computer and checks something, before announcing:
“We have only a few days before the total lunar eclipse. Much time has been lost in the other dimensions, as well as two of our brothers. As Zahra said, we need a plan of action now. We know Lina will be at her strongest during the eclipse. Zahra is the one who realized this.”
“What else have you learned?” Mio asks me.
I think back to my conversation with Caed when he feared the curse was closing in on them and I first realized about the total lunar eclipse. I parlay the conversation back to the others:
“You all know I got into a fight with Bitchhole-”
“I didn’t,” Mio interjects.
