<strong>"I really could not care less if you have cut your finger! Put a glove on it and keep chopping!"</strong>she growled coldly and stomped away before she slapped the guy on the head. Tabitha was glad now she had taken that break earlier, otherwise she would never have been able to hold her temper with these people.<br/><br/>Her phone vibrated in her pants pocket and she stepped into the freezer for some privacy. Automatically she warmed her body temperature from within as she stood in the ice cold box.<br/><br/><strong>"Yeah?"</strong>she answered still distracted by the chaos in her kitchen.<br/><br/><em>"We have trouble, I felt a dark presence at the coffee shop just now and it was coming from the shadows, you know what that means? He is back. </em><br/><br/>She tensed, her body rigid with fear and worry. The last few attacks from Sha'Kos had been close, too close.<br/><br/><strong>"Ok, Chloe just take a deep breath and focus, don't let him get you scared."</strong>she murmured more to herself than her sister.<br/><br/><em>Doesn't he ever get tired of us kicking his ass? I am so tired of his little games why doesn't he face us himself instead of sending his little Daevas. You know what I think, I think he is a coward. I hope he is listening I don't know how his powers work but I hope he is listening. God Tabitha will it never end?</em><br/><br/><strong>"It will end, it has to someday, eventually we find a way to kill them all Chloe. We just have to be patient and wait for that opportunity."</strong><br/><br/><em>Sha'Kos will never leave us alone we have to vanquish him. Maybe we are going about this all wrong, we have been on defense so long maybe we should go on offense. You know seek him out to vanquish him.</em><br/><br/>Tabitha grinned and let fire spark from her fingertips playfully.<br/><br/><strong>"Offense sounds really good to me....if we could find a way to vanquish him that is."</strong>she furrowed her brow and sighed...so far they could not find anything useful to help them in that regard.<br/><br/><em>Oh yeah Lewis called and there is another one of those weird things he thinks is supernatural, I am suppose to check it out this afternoon. Do you think it could be Sha'Kos trying to divide and conquer? </em><br/><br/><strong>"Divide and conquer sounds like a good plan actually. We better be extra careful the next few days, keep our eyes open and senses on alert."</strong><br/><br/>A loud bang sounded from the kitchen and Tabitha rolled her eyes, it never ended.<br/><br/><em>I want you and Melinda to meet me at the store in half an hour if you can, we need a plan and fast. Can you call Mel and arrange things with her?"</em><br/><br/><strong>"Um...."</strong>she started to say there was no way she could leave the kitchen today but stopped herself. Tabitha pressed her fingers to her eyes, feeling the beginnings of a royal headache. She was sure that a normal life, one without calls from her sister concerning demons, was simply never going to happen for her.<br/><br/><strong>"Yeah, of course. I will call her and meet you both there in a half hour. I am gonna loose my job again but hey! Who needs a career when you have demons hounding your ass every week!"</strong>she replied with fake laughter and promptly hung up to call Melinda.<br/><br/><strong>"Hey it is Tabitha....Sha'Kos alert, Chloe's in half an hour."</strong>she left a voicemail then went to face the lovely job of telling her boss she was having to leave.<br/><br/>Ten minutes later Tabitha climbed into her vehicle and slammed the door so hard her teeth rattled. As if her career was not on edge enough already.....again she wondered what it would be like to be<em>normal</em>. She drove through the city her music blaring and her heart pounding. Her temper was not as under control as she would like it to be but it did not appear she could take time to slip into an empty ally and throw fireballs right now.<br/><br/>Pulling up at her sisters store Tabitha climbed out and prepared to walk inside, still dressed in her plain chef's jacket and black pants. She was no fashion follower but these clothes were really easy to fight in she thought ruefully.
