Chapter Six

Celia pulled a cell phone out of her back pocket. “My phone’s dead. How about yours?”

I yanked out mine. “Yeah. The paranormal activity must be interfering with the electrical equipment.” The flashing strobe lights flickered in and out and music reached an abrupt end. I reached for her hand again. “Come on, let’s take a look around.”

We made our way through the crowd of sweating bodies. Celia stopped and tugged on my arm. “Bren, look.”

I hadn’t noticed the clubbers’ eyes. They stared expressionless at their partners, despite how hard their bodies moved against each other and to the beat of music that no longer played. “Shit. Their souls have been numbed.”

“What?”

“A poisonous spirit can paralyze a weak soul—especially if their prey is intoxicated. Think of a snake that’s bitten a rat. Makes the rat easier to eat.”

“Jesus,” Celia whispered taking in the swarm of drunk humans. “There are a lot of rats around here.”

Speaking of which. The she-vamps slinked their way around the bodies, charging to Celia’s side. “We have to get you out of here.”

The ice blonde reached for Celia but withdrew when Celia hissed. “I’m not going anywhere until we dispose of whatever entity has trapped the humans.”

Blonde bombshell shook her head. “We’ll deal with it once we get you back to the master.”

“No. It’ll take too long. I’m not risking some poor sap having his soul devoured.” Celia’s husky voice was absolute and she squared her jaw. “I’m staying to help Bren. And so are you.”

The blonde swore before whirling to face the chick with the dark pigtails and little glasses. “What are we dealing with here, Agnes?”

Agnes frowned. “I won’t know until we find it. It, they—whatever the hell is scattered around. We have to wait until one takes physical form to feed. It’ll entice the others to present in their physical forms and feast.”

“We have to wait until it chooses its prey?” Celia’s head whipped around. “Aw hell, there’s got to be a hundred people crammed in here.” She prowled toward the center. “Spread out in pairs. Bren, you’re with me.”

I pounded after her and almost ran her down when she stopped short. A stunning Latina with skin the color of warm chocolate and long black hair that dragged to her feet stood swaying in the middle of the floor watching Dan. His eyes remained partly in focus; unlike the other fools surrounding him, he wasn’t drunk and therefore not trapped in the spirits’ magic. He was, however, making an ass out of himself. In a mad effort to “wow,” Dan had thrown common sense, pride, and his balls out the window. There he stood in perfect nerd glory: one hand clasped behind his neck, the other square in front of him jerking erratically. He was, no lie, trying to impress the hot babe by doing the “the sprinkler.” If I wasn’t busy trying to find the evil that continued to burn my senses, I’d have slapped the shit right out of him.
