*SPOILERS**SPOILERS**SPOILERS**SPOILERS**SPOILERS**SPOILERS*
Paisley shoved herself between Aiden and his father. A single tentacle sprung forth from her neck. It was wrapped around a large bovine bone. The demon dog flashed a double row of sharp teeth at Kader, then poked him in the thigh with the bone.
“Ah,” Kader said. “Look at you, beautiful. I didn’t know that any of you had survived.” He glanced at me. “Did you get the entire litter out?”
I hadn’t. Only Paisley had survived the destruction we Five had wrought on the compound when we’d escaped the Collective.
Paisley poked Kader with the bone again.
“Yes, sorry,” he said to her. Then he wrapped his hand around the end of the bone, gazing deliberately into Paisley’s blood red eyes.
Silence stretched. A distant rooster crowed, then the rooster overseeing our flock responded. An airplane passed overhead.
Aiden glanced my way questioningly.
I shrugged. Paisley had done something similar when Opal had appeared on the property, making her hold the bone as well. I hadn’t thought to mention it to anyone. But the demon dog seemed to be using the bone that Aiden had given her as some sort of way to vet intruders, friend from possible tasty treat.
Not that I’d let the demon dog eat someone. Though, even I couldn’t stop everything that might happen in the heat of battle.
