Chapter Ten
Edna glanced up from where she was preparing a late breakfast the next morning when she heard Bo bark in excitement. For a moment panic hit her. She had forgotten that Shelly, Jack, and Crystal were bringing her a Christmas tree today. Her eyes flew to the back bedroom where Christoff was still sleeping. She had gotten up to let Bo outside so he could take care of his morning business and to feed Gloria.
“Bo, hush,” she ordered, biting her lip. “Behave. Spark, you too! Go to Christoff.”
The symbiot had risen off of the rug in front of the fire and had shifted into a large beast that Edna swore was a cross between a lion and a sabretooth tiger. It was staring at the door, emitting a low growl. She could just imagine Jack and Shelly’s faces if they came in and saw it.
