Chapter Twenty-Eight

Returning to Elijah, I found him pacing the sidewalk with worry. He gasped in fear when I jogged over to him then relaxed when he saw it was me. “Did you find the portal?” he asked when I reached him.

“Yeah. The raven led me straight to it then disappeared inside.”

“How ironic that your enemy has aided you without realizing it.”

“This isn’t the first time the bird has helped me find a gate.” I described how Sam and I had seen it following us once. We’d had to walk the streets at random while waiting for Nathan or Leo to come and find us. I’d discovered a door that hid a portal then, too.

Elijah’s brow crinkled in thought as he followed me to the portal. “Perhaps it isn’t a coincidence at all that the raven has led you here,” he mused.

“What do you mean?”

“It seems the bird knows where all of the portals are. It follows you each time you enter hell even when it is nowhere in sight when you step through the doorways.”

Uneasy at the idea, I shoved my hands in my pockets. “If this is true, then why hasn’t it ever set up a trap for me? It could easily rally some troops and get them to capture me when I step into the shadowlands.”

“That is what concerns me,” he admitted. “It almost seems as though it wants you to kill the Princes and find the segments of the object of power.”

Feeling chilled to the bone, I couldn’t shake my unease now that he’d brought this to my attention. “Do you think the object is going to help me win this war?”

He hesitated then shrugged. “I am not sure. I only know that something that was wrought in hell must be incredibly dangerous.”

“Yet, Hagith thinks she can use it through me,” I pointed out. That was her grand plan. She wanted me to collect the sections and put it together. She was going to control me by torturing my friends if I didn’t cooperate with her. Thankfully, Nathan and Leo were no longer in her custody and she didn’t have any leverage over me.

“She is delusional,” he said in a disturbed tone. “It is unthinkable that an angel of the lord has fallen so in love with power that she would torture her own kind.”

“She’ll get what’s coming to her,” I said darkly. One way or another, Hag and Orifice would pay for the poor decisions that they’d made.

We walked the rest of the way to the park in silence. When we reached the tunnel, I took the backpack from Elijah and reached inside it. Taking out the container of demon blood and a paintbrush, I quickly painted the rune that would unlock the portal. Dabbing blood on my palm, I pressed it on the symbol. Bright red light flared as it became active. Once upon a time, I would have cut my palm. I’d eventually figured out that I could just use any demon’s blood to activate the spells.
