“Yeah, I told you to get her blood on the contract… as in the queen, not yours also. Well you got both of you and it turns out, Lilith took it to higher heights?” she had furrowed her eyebrows.
"Spill it, Ju,” Eric had a worried appearance too. He’d seen his friend watching Ju’s movements but not looking at her directly. Near her and sometimes on the other side of the room which he knew were the familiar’s movements. He’d glared at him to let him know that he was making it too obvious that he was seeing the ghostly creature.
The mage wasn’t possessed as he’d thought but something was up with her.
