“Elijah, buddy, you need to chill. Listen to daddy…”

“Ah!”

Before Tarquin could say another word, a piercing scream cut through the silence of the house.

Both father and son whipped their heads around.

Elysia stood there, eyes as wide as saucers, a look of utter shock plastered across her face.

Tarquin, worried she might set Elijah off further, snapped at her with a frosty command, “What are you freaking out about?”

The door slammed shut and was locked in one smooth motion!

Elijah was just confused.
