“Needs not met,” Aaesma smirked up at her. “I never said I was spent.”

“Come on, man! What do you mean, you don’t know what happened?” Chase cried.
“I don’t remember,” Drew says shaking his head. He turns to look at Andrea who watches him innocently. He doesn’t remember how she woke up either but in the back of his mind was the name “Kit.” He tilts his head to the side and hears a whisper in his head. “All will be revealed in time,” he repeats with a frown.
“What was that son?”
Drew glared up at his father, Detective James Warden. He did not know how or why he was called. True, he worked as a homicide detective but shouldn’t ethics keep him from working the home invasion murder of his estranged ex-wife? “Nothing,” he seethed. “I remember nothing,” he grimaced as the doctor finished stapling the back of his head.
Another detective who had the misfortune of looking like a goblin with a long hooked nose pushed his way past the nurse. “Did they say anything, Jim?”
“No, Gorman,” he says looking between the twins. “Andrew doesn’t remember anything and Andrea won’t even look at me much less talk.”
Andrea eyebrow rose as she took in the goblin looking dude. “What’s to say, my mom got over Tom before Tom was ready,” she looked away so he did not see the relief on her face. Everything was mostly a fog to her anyway. Kit had taken care of everything that she knew but she was already being forced into a mandatory psych eval. The coven, mostly at Tom’s urging had made claims she’d been asleep because she’d become addicted to sleeping pills but much too late for Kit to stop the court order without a hassle. ‘Probably a good thing,’ Andrea thought to herself. All of this was too crazy. A mythological goddess claiming she was nothing more than a warrior angel, who battled demons with a god complex, was too much for her to handle with Nick’s death still so fresh on her heart and mind. Even his mother, poor Dr. Reigns for some reason remembered her screaming Nick’s death had been her fault, despite Drew’s attempt to wipe their presence from her mind. The one thing she was sure of, other than she was sure she had killed Nick, was maybe psychology could explain people’s fascination with the supernatural.
