Chapter Nineteen

Sibyl

Whitmore extricated himself from the situation, and Lizard Lady took over. She shoved me into a chair, barricading me with another one of her co-workers. I hoped Marlo had gotten out of Whitmore’s office regardless if she obtained any information on the event location. The campus police arrived within minutes, almost like they were only a few floors down.

“This her?” asked a gruff man.

Smoldering orange flames pumped through his shadowy body and burned in his eye sockets. No surprises there. Whitmore probably had the majority of campus police and administrative officials under his demonic control. If someone like Chief Pike could succumb to an evil plot to sacrifice the entire town, nothing could shock me anymore.

The receptionist stood up, her yellow lizard eyes glaring down at me. “She’s been harassing Professor Whitmore. Another campus stalker. She had a friend with her who has conveniently disappeared. Keep an eye out for a lanky girl with sandy-blond hair.”

“This the one with the sight?” he asked under his breath.

So, they were onto me. My throat burned. This was going south real quick.

In a final attempt to stall the inevitable, I said, “I’m not a stalker. This is just a silly mistake. Let me go, and I won’t come back. I promise.”

Lizard Lady cackled.

The campus policeman’s orange eyes flared up. “Let’s go.”

“Please make sure she never returns,” hissed the receptionist.

I patted my messenger bag and removed one of my baseballs. I turned to hurl it directly at her forehead, but the officer yanked my arms behind my back and slapped on a pair of handcuffs. The ball thumped to the floor, along with any hope of getting out of the situation alive. He pushed me out the door and into the hallway.

“Is this really necessary?” I asked.

“Shut up,” he grumbled.

The walk through the maze of corridors seemed to wind around in circles within circles. I was completely turned around. No longer could I hear the dinging of the elevator. Where was Marlo? Deep down, I called for Vago, wondering if he could hear me. The handcuffs cut into my skin, making even the slightest possibility of movement impossible. Even if I did miraculously bring my arms to the front of my body and grab a baseball from my messenger bag, I wouldn’t be able to throw anything with my hands locked together like that. No momentum or velocity.

“This way,” he said, yanking my arm.

I stopped and turned around to face his burning orange eyes. “I can’t see, you know.”

He laughed with a snort. “I bet you can see this is the end of the road for you.”

I stared at Officer Douchebag’s burning orbs of orange, refusing to let his false bravado intimidate me. Evil talked a good game, but when it came down to it, these brutes were frightened to their core. Remembering this gave me a boost of confidence, restoring my faith. I wasn’t going to let some low-level demon get into my head. I laughed in his face. He reached out and grabbed my throat, strangling me with his grip.
