Wolf then looked Cole in the eye and calmly asked, “Why is this book so important to you; that book of shadows that I’m guessing once belonged to the Barrington family? And will having that book with us attract any kind of bad luck?”
“It shouldn’t,” responded Cole. He then suspiciously asked, “what do you know about the Barrington family? I don’t think they ever set foot in this dimension?”
Wolf stood his ground and responded, “they lost their book of shadows somewhere along the line, and you are bothered by the fact that someone was trying to sell it. The last time I met you, you said something about a career hunting witches, so it isn’t the most difficult thing to put two and two together and guess the fate of that family.” He paused, before asking the inevitable, “Are you embarrassed that someone was selling your hard earned work in a second hand book market?”
Cole was then silent, a grimace on his face. He looked Wolf in the eye, “I’m not embarrassed about anything; you want this book it is yours?” he said nonchalantly as he handed it to Wolf who quickly retracted in fear.
“No thanks,” responded Wolf, “but I am curious to know,” he paused, “what did happen to that family?”
“It was almost a hundred years ago,” Cole sighed, as the expression on his face changed to one of sadness. “I was on the verge of pledging a number of demonic brotherhoods, factions in the underworld to which various demons belonged. If one doesn’t belong to one, they don’t rank very highly. Because I was half human, I had a very hard time being accepted by any of the factions. I needed to do something big, that would impress them, show that I was as capable as those without human halves.”
“I certainly understand that,” Wolf replied as he sat down against a tree stump and opened up a bottle of water from Virginia’s world. Cole then proceeded to sit down next to him.
“At the time the Barringtons, who lived in Massachusetts, were one of the most powerful magical families around. They were responsible for vanquishing a number of high-level demons. They managed to take down head of the Brotherhood of the Thorn, one of the most respected Brotherhoods in the Underworld. One of them even got close to vanquishing the Source.”
“Go on,” said Wolf. He felt like asking what exactly “The Source,” was. He had heard Cole referring to it numerous times, even admitting that he briefly had that position. Wolf assumed that it was the leader of the underworld but didn’t feel like interrupting the story Cole was telling.
“Well, I learned that one demon, Dalnor was going to attempt to take out the Barrington family. I took advantage of this information, and enlisted with the local sheriff’s department, their numbers had recently decreased and they desperately needed new recruits. It didn’t take me very long to rise to the position of deputy.”
“The night Dalnor came to attempt to get the Barrington’s book of shadows, I showed up as the trusty local law enforcement agent, took out Dalnor, and saved the family. Being witches who constantly needed things covered up, they were very quick to open up to me, the sheriff’s deputy, especially their two young daughters, Estelle and Catherine. I gradually romanced the eldest of the two, Estelle, and became very close with her branch of the family. It was actually pretty nice, having a place where, for once,” he paused, paused, “I was accepted.”
“Were you in love with her?” asked Wolf.
