Parker shook her head. “The darkness. That doesn’t make sense.”
“It’s magic. From what I can tell, magic doesn’t care about making sense.”
“No, I get that the laws of physics mean basically bupkis now. But what I don’t get is this dark magic.” She stopped her pacing to pick up an empty foam coffee cup. “Let’s say this is the darkness, right? It’s evil, so a young Claudia locks it away in a supernatural prison years ago.”
Derek nodded, even though he wasn’t fully sure where she was going with this.
“Years later, the darkness realizes the prison is weakening and somehow manages to make a crack in it.”
“Jackson accidentally killed his parents as a kid and the darkness used that event to get stronger.” Even as he said the words, he realized how crazy they sounded, but luckily Parker was still taking all of this in stride.
“See, I’m okay with all that. I can understand how the prison opened. I can even get the whole human sacrifice thing to destroy the prison. Do you want to know what doesn’t make sense to me?”
“You’re already doing a hell of a lot better than I am,” he muttered.
She slammed the cup on the table where it shuddered a little bit before it settled without tipping over. “That’s a cup.”
“I can see that,” he said carefully.
“If you put that in a prison, it’s not going to try to get out. Because it’s a cup.”
Derek stared intently at said cup. “You’re not wrong.”
“A cup doesn’t try to get out of prison. A cup doesn’t take advantage of mystical events. You want to know what would do that?”
“A person,” he said softly.
“Person. Witch. Whatever this darkness is, it’s sentient. And that makes me wonder…. Is it really just another form of darkness? Or is this some type of creature? Most importantly, would we be able to kill it?”
