Chapter Ten

What the hell is she thinking? Vassago silently screamed as he watched Anjali teeter on the edge of the platform.

Then she jumped.

His wings never appeared so quickly in his existence. He caught her just before she landed and carried her to a place where he knew she wouldn’t be electrocuted. The glamour faded as his anger grew. “What are you trying to do?”

She whipped around. Her eyes focused directly on the pale blue glow of his sword. “When did you get that?”

“Answer my question first.”

“The other two went this way.”

He shoved past her and plunged deeper into the blackness of the tunnel. The sound of small footsteps behind him told him she was following him. “So you thought you’d take on both of them by yourself?”

“I could at least trap them until you came. You said yourself that you wanted to catch them. I didn’t want to lose their trail.”

A new surge of rage flowed through his veins. How could she be so careless with her life? Did she even understand what she was up against? “Go back to the platform.”

“No. You’re the one who hired me to help you find them, and I’m sticking around until the job is done.”

He turned to her with half a mind of flying her back to her apartment and tying her to the bed until he got back. Instead, he almost found himself laughing at her pose. Her arms crossed over her breasts, and her chin raised in defiance. He should have known his little demon hunter wouldn’t back down from a fight. “I think I can spot them now. Go back where it’s safe, please.”

His sincerity seemed to surprise her. She blinked a few times and relaxed her shoulders. A rat scurried by, and she flung herself into his arms with a squeal.

This time, he couldn’t hold the laughter back. “Brave little Anjali will take on Skinwalkers, but she’s scared of a small rat?”

“There’s nothing small about New York rats, thank you very much.” She pushed him away with her lips pressed in a tight line.

“Maybe, but—” The sounds of scuffling behind him made his nerves stand on end. He tightened his grip on his sword as he tried to zero in on their location.

“Will, behind you,” she managed to shout before a rock hard wall tackled him. His sword rattled along the tracks when he hit the ground, landing just out of his reach. Above him, the Skinwalker licked its fangs. He braced his arms against the demon’s chest to keep from becoming its new chew toy.

“Off!” Anjali’s command punctuated a bolt of magic that collided with the demon and flung him backward into the stale, inky void.

Free of the demon-sized paperweight, Vassago scrambled to his feet and grabbed his sword hilt. A fresh blade of blue fire illuminated the darkness. Several feet away, he saw a shadow rise.

Another stream of magic whizzed by him and coiled around the Skinwalker. The demon struggled against the binding.

“I have it. Send it back.
