Serenity throws the knife before anyone can stop her. Gareth yelps a very high-pitched scream and looks down at his thigh.
“That fucking hurt!” he says loudly.
“How did you get your voice to go that high?” Otis asks with a laugh.
“Let her stab you and let’s see how you react,” Gareth says through clenched teeth.
“You have been stabbed before,” Leopold says with a laugh.
“Her blades are enchanted with some voodoo shit dad put on them,” Gareth reminds everyone.
I forgot about that part. I wince at Gareth.
“Can you come heal it now?” Gareth asks Serenity.
She nods her head, kneels in front of him, and pulls her blade out before wiping his blood on his pants.
“Close your eyes and place your hands over the wound,” my dad says, guiding her.
She does what he says. It takes her several minutes before we see his skin stitch back together.
I feel proud knowing that’s my woman. I can already see how powerful she is. She has two powers that she has been able to use to help the family, and she grows more confident by the day.
Once she’s done, she opens her eyes and looks down.
“I did it!” she cheers.
“Great job, baby,” I say, smiling at her.
“Again?” she asks while looking around.
“What did you find out about Gareth?” Fredrick asks.
“I can’t share everyone’s secrets,” she says with a smirk.
Gareth looks at her with pleading eyes.
“Don’t worry, they won’t hear it from me,” she says, patting him on the leg.
After that, my brothers all continue to make excuses so that she won’t find information on them, and it became a show of watching her chase my brothers around the palace with a blade in each hand.
“This feels like we are in some sort of horror movie,” my dad says with a laugh.
“It’s not everyday you watch your bride try to stab your brothers so she can practice her powers. It’s not helping that you are playing ominous horror music loudly as they all try to escape from her,” I tell him.
“This is actually the freest I have seen my children in a long time. If you guys were mortal, then she would be holding a water gun or something tame but, since I know she doesn’t want them dead, it’s quite hilarious to watch,” he says.
“I feel like the blades should be bigger though. It would make it more intense,” I tell him.
He snaps his fingers.
“You’re right,” he agrees.
He calls Serenity over, and two big ass knives appear in his hand.
“These might help,” he says, and she puts her daggers back.
“Thanks Papa Lucifer,” she says with an evil grin.
