I gave a stern knock to that wooden door.
"Coming!"
The door creaked open, then slammed shut.
The voice behind the door became quiet.
"Oh! It's you. You're alive."
I crossed my arms and clenched my jaw. "What the hell was that back there?"
I grabbed the doorknob and forced it open.
"You coward! I trusted you!"
"What? Was I supposed to endanger my life for a man I just met?"
I stepped inside and curled my lip.
Estrella backed away. I could hear her heart rate rise.
"Oh, hey! Are those... new teeth? I think I see a couple more in there!"
There was a little blip of motion behind her.
"Spud!"
"Mew?"
I ran right past her.
"What the hell did you do to him?"
He was dressed up in an oversized witch hat with a little cloak and the tiniest boots I'd ever seen.
"I was... uh... training him to be my familiar."
"Dress up your own damn cat!"
"I thought you were dead!"
I looked at Spud's little face. He had grown a bit since I saw him last.
"Now let's get this nasty little costume off of you, eh?"
Spud jumped onto my shoulder. I started unbuckling those boots. Shoes don't belong on cats.
"Now... let's see... what else..."
I looked towards Estrella's magic room.
"Wait! No!"
I laughed and ran over there. Inside was a huge, empty cauldron, surrounded by shelves filled with jars of various dried herbs and miscellaneous ingredients. Wilikers was lazing in the corner.
I walked up to one shelf and began sifting through the jars.
"You quit that!"
I spread my wings to make a barrier between me and her.
She ran up to me and grabbed one of my wings, trying to pull me away. I resisted and kept searching.
"Stop! You're gonna break something!"
And break something I did. I didn't see what it was, but I certainly heard the shattering of glass!
"Get out of my house!"
Finally, I found what I was looking for. A jar filled halfway up with teeth.
I snatched it, knelt down to the floor, and dumped them all out. I dug through them until I found what I was looking for. A small, sharp, pearly white fang.
I stood up and put it in my pocket.
"Well, it looks like I'll be going now," I said with a smile.
Estrella whined.
"What are you even going to do with it? You made a mess for nothing!"
"I'll figure something out."
I grabbed Spud off my shoulder and gave him a kiss, then headed out.
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck you, too!"
I slammed the door.
