CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

Eve’s mind was spinning with the bizarre reality of everything that was unfolding. She could feel her fingers tighten around the steering wheel desperate to make sure the car was there and she was in it.

“How can Cora be gone?” Eve asked with a sadness to her voice that caught the tears that welled in her eyes and held them at bay.

“I don’t understand how, I just know he took her right after you left her house. She and Beau, body and soul, are trapped at Thibodaux,” Aria said.

Eve listened to the words but logic was not attached to them. At least no logic she was ready to accept.

“You must know how hard it is for me to understand much less accept these insane things you are saying,” Eve said. She could feel the tears welling in her eyes. She could feel the rush of fear and concern for her friend and helplessness knowing she was at fault for dragging Cora into this darkness. It gripped her heart and held it. Each beat hurt with the ache of what she’d caused.

“Stop using your earthly mind, Eve,” Aria said.

“Earthly mind? Right. It’s the only mind I’ve got,” Eve responded.

“No it’s not. This is not logic as you know it. Think that you have the ability to see this world and place another world on top of it. Your imagination is the portal.”

“So, I’m imagining all this shit?” Eve asked.

“Not yet. Right now someone else is and you’ve been caught up in their illusion,” Aria said.

“Okay. Is this like crossing between the world of the living and the world of the dead or something?” Eve asked. “You know how some people can see ghosts and others can’t?”

“The ability to recognize alternate matter is a part of it. All kinds of beings live concurrently with us, most just don’t know how to open our minds to see them. When you made love to Beau, you were given special sight. When you saw the Nephilim it expanded.”

“I don’t want special sight,” Eve said.

“It is no longer about what you want or don’t want. You accepted him as reality and now he’s…or they…are here.”

“Are they alive or dead?” Eve asked.

“Nephilim are not bound by mortality. They don’t live so they can’t die,” Aria said.

“That blows the gun and bullet plan. Are they immortal?” Eve asked.

“Yes.” “Then how the hell am I supposed to kill something immortal?”

“You can’t,” Aria told her.

“Way wrong answer. Why the hell are we going after something I can’t destroy? Did you see what that thing did to Cora, Ms. Clarisse, Evine and heaven knows who else? What do you expect me to do?”

Eve was spiraling into a full blown panic attack. Her heart raced, her breath quickened, shots of adrenalin burned through her nerves with the jolt of an electric shock from a 220 plug and a wet finger.

“Breathe, Eve!” Aria commanded.

“I am breathing,” Eve shouted, anger adding to the frustration that filled her.

“Breathe slower. Do it, Eve, or pull over,” Aria told her.
