When do we go?"
"Fifteen minutes," Victor told her, his tone as lethal as his
stare. "Seth will deliver a pizza. If you can get the door open,
great. If not, we'll kick it in."
Tension gripped Cadin tighter with each step she took.
How had her life come to this? If she survived this night she'd
make better choices, use her abilities in less destructive
ways. Disbelief twisted through her fear. She was a chaos
being! She was supposed to be destructive, but she had to
admit things had gotten way out of hand.
"Where did you go?" the imposter demanded.
"I needed some air." She glared at him. If her attitude
changed all of the sudden, he was sure to grow suspicious. "I
don't do incarceration well."
"You'll have more freedom once we return. Well, if you
decide to be cooperative for a change, you'll have more
freedom."
"I have no interest in being a fuck toy. Yours or anyone
else's."

He laughed and strolled toward her. "We both know that's
not true. You couldn't get enough of my cock before you
realized Emit had a visitor. You're just demon-phobic. If
you're worried about damage, take on the form of one of our
females."
"Now what fun would that be?" she drawled. "You can
already fuck any female in your dimension. I think you want
to fuck a human female, and I think you want to damage
her."
Pure evil gleamed in his eyes and bile rose to the back of
her throat. Damn it! Did he realize she was solid? Strong
emotions, like power surges, robbed her of control. Where
was the fucking pizza? She would rather not be raped before
she was rescued.
"If I damage your body, how quickly would you be able to
repair it?"
The question was so demented, she gagged. "You're truly
depraved." She ducked his backhand and ran for the door as
the expected knock finally came.
"Do not open that door!" he bellowed.
She ignored him, but remembered her role well enough to
inch the door open. "Did you order a pizza?" she asked as she
let the door swing inward.
Infuriated by her stupidity, the imposter stomped toward
the open threshold. Seth dropped the pizza box and snapped
a thin metal collar around Emit's throat. The imposter
screamed, clawing at the offensive object as the rest of the
team rushed in around them.

Cadin rushed back and stayed out of their way,
concentrating on the link binding her to the demon. The
imposter tossed his head, saliva flying from his mouth as
capillaries burst in his eyes. She'd known Emit wouldn't
survive this, and she wasn't out of the woods yet. So she
forced down her flash of pity, and began shredding the link,
layer by searing layer.
Another being joined her on the metaphysical plane, a
powerful, complex entity, colorful and strongly connected to
two other entities. Tess. Why would Tess help her after the
way she'd treated her?
No one deserves what this creature has planned for you,
Tess explained. Don't be distracted. Work!
Shocked and moved by Tess's generosity, Cadin accepted
the assistance. They attacked the cord, severing individual
strands.
The demon surged within Emit. Flesh split, and strength
shook the metaphysical plane.
Hurry! They thought the word together, clawing and
chewing at the connection with frantic desperation.
The cord snapped, launching Cadin backward, freeing her
from the physical realm. She sent energy tumbling in her
wake, saturating Tess with strength and ferocity.
Thank you. The thought echoed through Tess's mind as
she emerged from the trance, dazed yet exhilarated.
The demon tossed aside the collar with a rumbling laugh
as it ambled out into the courtyard between the rooms.
Chunks of flesh fell from its grayish body with each rolling
step. No hint of Emit remained: nothing faintly humanoid.

Solid black eyes dominated its narrow face and the muscular
body promised both strength and agility.
Four of Seth's men arrived and set up a mystic perimeter.
Anyone who approached the motel would see nothing unusual
and simply pass by, even if they'd meant to check in.
One of Anthony's soldiers flew at the demon's head. It
batted the vampire aside with a throaty chuckle. His
teammates opened fire, but bullets bounced off the demon's
thick hide. So did arrows and spears.
"Why is it just standing there?" Victor snapped. He turned
to his brother in exasperation. "Put it to sleep or something!"
"Mental compulsions are tricky when you can't speak the
language," Anthony replied.
"I think I can communicate with it," Tess said.
"You're not going near that thing." Victor stepped in front
of her.
"Not physically. This body isn't capable of creating his
language, but we can speak on the metaphysical plane."
"Then I'm coming with you." He wrapped his arms around
her.
"We're linked, silly man. You're always with me." Without
further argument, she rested her head on his shoulder and
closed her eyes.
The metaphysical plane opened suddenly, sweeping her
along like a storm swollen current. She gasped and reached
for Victor, but she couldn't find him in the churning water. A
moment of panic cleansed her mind of all distraction. Despite [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
