Chapter 195: No Hattie
Okay, so a part of my brain told me that I had only been the Devil for less than 24 hours since Luci had her heart ripped out, but the majority of my brain told me that that wasn’t that big of a deal.
I had all the power I could possibly want at my fingertips, and even Luci said that I just had to think about what I wanted, and I would get it.
Being alone in the middle of a middle-class community somewhere in Region L was not where I wanted to be. The fact that Tink and the rest of the guys were clearly not around me made me even more cranky.
The fact that I don’t know if they even went to the Dragon’s Lair or were somewhere in the world for me never to see again caused me to damn well panic.
While I was struggling with what I was doing here, the white door in front of me opened. "Hello, Sweetheart, are you lost?"
The woman was dressed in a style from the 1950s, complete with the hairstyle, dress, and apron. She stood on the top step, her bright red lips warm and welcoming, but I had no idea what to say.
So, instead of answering her, I decided to stare at her house. It was a two-story home, built in the same era that she so seemed to love, with a small garden bed in front, luscious grass, a massive tree, and, to top everything off, a white picket fence.
If my warning bells weren’t screaming at me before, they now were.
Added to the creepy factor that would send most people running, I couldn’t help but notice the fact that there was no one around. Not a person, not a dumb zombie... nothing.
