Chapter 384 - 384: Niece and aunt bonding
The accusation that came from Phoebe did not faze her aunt at all. Instead, she lazily sat in a chair next to the table, a smirk curled on her lips as she continued to study Phoebe who looked at her through narrow slitted eyes.
Maureen was very comfortable, she could so easily do this all day and run circles around Phoebe until she broke. However, she was also quite aware that Phoebe's mouth was hard to pry open when she didn't want to talk. After pondering for a while, she decided to bow first, after all their goals were aligned.
"You are like a hungry hippo, chomping down and you just won't let go. What is your obsession with my father's death?" She asked curiously, but knowing that she would not get an answer, she just sighed. "Hmmm, I see that you are hungry for answers just like me and you will not end your
"She is a guardian; it skips my mind sometimes that they can see you." The spirit explained to Connie who had missed a lot during her absence.
Connie floated to hide behind Phoebe. "Soooo, is she a guardian like the ghost catching kind?" Her voice quivered.
Connie knew that this aunt Maureen was stronger than Amon, if she was caught by her, it would be disastrous.
Waving her hand in a dismissive manner, Aunt Maureen smiled warmly at Connie. "I prefer hunting for the bad boys, you know like gremlins, demons, wendigos, zombies, vamps, shapeshifters, hellhounds and the occasional fallen angel." Her eyes drifted around in search of the owner of the other voice. "Where is the other one, why can't I see her?"
Phoebe's jaw had already dropped, demons, shapeshifters gremlins, vampires and such creatures, she had heard about but a fallen angel!!!!
She wanted to ask the Saxon spirit about it but the spirit was only focused on Maureen.
"Stop looking around for me, I can only be seen by a chosen few." The spirit folded its arms. "All this time you could hear and see the ghosts, but you pretended not to, why?" Its suspicious eyes roamed all over her.
Aunt Maureen smirked. "I like to mind my business; it is a habit that has saved me from a lot of trouble. Besides, you didn't seem harmful at all if anything you guys help Phoebe and protect her. Thanks for your hard work by the way." The warm smile continued to exist.
"You are welcome, it's not easy being Phoebe's employee, we have to farm and if you look at Sylvester now..." Connie paused when she noticed that Phoebe and the spirit had fixed her with a steely gaze.
Connie recalled that the space was a secret which she was not supposed to reveal.
"But she rewards us well, Phoebe is the best." She offered a wry smile.
Returning her attention to her aunt, Phoebe pulled a stool along with her and sat directly opposite to her. "Aunt I honestly cannot tell you where those keys are, but I can assure you that they are safe, now let's get down to business." She nodded her head in assurance.
"So, at the auction that was you?" Aunt Maureen quizzed.
