Scratches and Claw Marks
A/N: Bonus points to anyone who knows what these claw marks are from!
Simon-
Baz leads me through a dark hallway until we reach an ebony door, stained a dark black color. His whole house is rather depressing color wise.
He reaches out towards the decorative silver knob but then stops. He stands stock still in front of the door as if petrified.
I lean down towards his face, "Baz?" I ask.
He covers my mouth with his cold pale hand. I start to raise my hand to move his out of the way but he raises a finger to his lips and points to his ear. Listen.
I nod and he removes his hand. I close my eyes and press my ear against the door. I don't hear anything unusual at first. Just the sound of an old grandfather clock. Then I hear the scratching of claws on glass.
Penelope-
I walk up to Mummer's House out of habit after dinner. I know they won't be there but I want to check something out.
I reach the stone wall and cast my spell to get in. I haven't told anyone what the spell is, not even Simon. Well, it's not because I don't trust Simon, it's just funny watching him try and figure it out. Thank God Baz has never caught me up here. He would immediately know I used Alohamora. I'm convinced Watford has a Harry Potter fetish. I can use any spell from those books and the castle immediately bends to my will.
I get to the stairs that lead up to Simon's room. Of course they have to be on the top level. I slowly heave myself up the stairs, one by one.
Simon is such a slob. His room is absolutely coated in crap. Simon really needs Baz to stay organized. I giggle at the thought of Baz walking into this crap bedroom in his posh suit with his mouth agape.
Geez, it's cold up here. I look around, the windows are open. Simon would never leave the window's open. Having them open bothers his allergies. I look around at everything on the floor. There seems to be something everywhere. I can't see the floor boards. I'm even standing on one of Simon's uniform shirts.
I shift the shirt with the toe of my converse, revealing a long slash of naked wood on the otherwise polished floor.
Baz-
I heard it as soon as we got to the hallway, but I went up to the door just to check. Snow just groans and puts his hand over his hip, summoning his sword. I raise my eyebrows at him. This must be routine for him, demons coming after the chosen one.
He moves his hand to the door knob where mine still hovers. They brush and it sends a chill down my spine. He puts his hand firmly on the knob and looks back up at me. He's so close, his breath moves my hair. His stunning blue eyes are so full of light. He's looking at me- completely at me. It feels as though he's looking at me for the first time.
I'm taller than him, always have been. He looks up at me and it takes a genuine effort not to close my eyes and lean into him. He holds up his other hand. He counts down from 3.

What's he doing?

Wait, what was happening?

Scratch scratch. Oh...
Snow turns the knob and his sword pops into his hand all at once. A small ice demon stands in the middle of the room. I grab my wand from my belt and point it at the demon's chest. Ice demons don't look like much, but they're powerful.
The demon is a stout old man who looks like he could topple over any second. And trust me when I say short I mean short. He's probably two feet tall. He has a little white snowball in his hand. Even though his skin is extremely pale, he has entirely black eyes. The light from the broken window he must've shattered reflects off of his beady eyes. The drawers have long, deep scratches on them. His nails are long and yellow but look sharp.
He gives a small cackle. A ice demon should really be no problem for me. I'm a Pitch we deal with fire. I'm insanely good at summoning fire all things considered. How ever I've never fought a demon with a magic snowball.
A/N: I'm so sorry that took so long. And wasn't very Snowbazy. :( A friend of mine who's reading this kindly told me to update or get attacked tomorrow so here's a new chapter. Ans I am starting the next chapter tonight so hopefully it will be up soon. Thanks for the 115 reads guys! Make sure to let me know if you liked it by voting and commenting!
