"AUNTIE DAFFY DO IT AGAIN! AGAIN!" Daphne laughed and lifted her wand, swishing it twice and watched as dark purple smoke leaked out of the windows of Adeline's new dollhouse. What had once been delicate and sweet was warped by Daphne's twisted sense of humor. Every so often it would howl loudly and the little people inside, all of which had been attacked in some way, would walk around on their own.
It killed her that she wasn't going to see Adeline for her birthday. The little girl had Daphne's heart so completely. Any little girl who liked icky things and wanted Daphne to bring her a mummy was just ace. She would give Addy anything she wanted. She did, most of the time. It was never more than a few days between presents and Daphne always made sure to find the grossest thing she could.
Taking another bite of the ice cream birthday cake she'd brought, Daphne smiled happily. "Want to make it scream again," she asked. Addy had chocolate smeared all over her face and bits of melted ice cream stained her purple dress. "YES!!!!"
Merlin, she'd given the kid a sugar high. Clint was going to kill her. Luckily she'd be in another country and wouldn't have to deal with it. Unluckily for Daphne, she'd lost track of the time and was having too much fun with Addy to check the clock.
A flick of her wand and the dollhouse let loose a horrible, blood curdling scream. Addy's eyes got big and for a moment Daphne was worried she'd gone too far, but the look of fear quickly faded and Addy dissolved into a fit of giggles. "I love it! I keep it?!"
"Of course you keep it," Daphne said and pulled the little girl into her lap. "It's your birthday present. And you deserve the very best presents," she said with a kiss to Addy's hair.
"I do," Addy agreed. "Can I have more cake?" Daphne grinned and gave her almost-niece a big hug. "Have all the cake you want, Pixie."
