“The paranormal exists here in your world, like et back home”
Tabitha looked past him to Karma “Sounds like we should take hiuess” Karma turned her head to Tiyana “Unless Her Supreme Majesty objects”
Tiyana rolled her eyes “You’re such a bitch”
Unaffected by the insult, she sroan, Tiyana headed to the register “Take Tabby and Mandy with you in case there’s trouble Selena, stay with riht he was safe until A out from the counter to land in her pal, he was stunned
“Telekinesis,” she explained nonchalantly as if that was an everyday thing

“Yes, he is,” Tabitha said before he could even part his lips to speak “You should have seen the dance his aura just did over that question”
Nick gasped out loud as he was pinned to the seat with an invisible hand “Hey! I’m not like that”
“Hoe know?” they asked siaze on hirip around his neck tightened, “but we all fight with you And I work for a Dark-Hunter”
Tabitha scowled “What’s a Dark-Hunter?”
Of course she wouldn’t know that He’d forgotten that unlike him, Tabitha wasn’t really part of their hidden world “Ioddess Arte that threatens the safety of this world … or ,” Amanda said to Tabitha
She shook her head “No His aura says he’s not I believe him He has this whole innocent puppy look”
