“Accurate as always.” He matched her quiet tone. “Now go into the bathroom and take your shower.

I’ll be back in—” He was cut off by the sound of his phone ringing. “Excellent.” He brought the phone to his ear after glancing at the screen. “What did you find?” he asked, moving to the other side of the room to sit on the edge of the bed. She stood stock-still, hoping to overhear the conversation, but the volume was too low to make out any clear words. He caught her eye and made an imperious motion towards the bathroom.

She hesitated. Had it just been her imagination, or did she hear murmuring that sounded similar to her name?

He moved the phone away from his mouth. She saw instantly that his fangs had elongated. “If you don’t get in there right now, I’m going to take it as an invitation to join you.”

She obeyed as quickly as possible, slamming the bathroom door hard on the oh-so-masculine chuckle that followed tauntingly.

By the time she stepped out of the shower, she was not only bloodstain free, but apparently alone with nothing more than a towel. She had no desire to put back on her smelly, soiled clothing, but she felt helpless enough without being naked.

As lovely as the water had felt, it had hardly relaxed her or stopped her brain going a hundred miles per hour. There was no way she could escape, given that everyone in the building was on full alert. If only she were an angel or demon herself…then she could burst out of this house barely ing a sweat, just like her favorite action-flick heroines.

She looked around the room, hoping to see something had changed since the last time she’d looked around—a sign for a hidden escape route, a phone or even a clock to check what time it was. All she saw was a bowl of steaming soup and a few slices of brown bread on the handsome dresser next to the bed.

Next to it was a pile of clothes. Never one to turn her nose up at either, she dipped a piece of bread in the soup and stuffed it in her mouth as she wiggled into the man’s shirt, socks and sweatpants. The top nearly swallowed her and the waistband of the pants had to be rolled up three times before it stayed, but the thick woolen socks were heaven-sent.

Heaven-sent. She dipped more pieces of bread in the soup and ate them slowly. She’d tried to pray for help before, when the demons had first confronted her and dragged her off, but she’d heard no response.

How angry she’d been, that the angels hadn’t even bothered to save her brother. Perhaps she wasn’t going through the pearly white gates given the way she’d lived her life, but to not even help a seven-year-old?

It was worth a try. Just one more. Feeling foolish, she got to her knees, folded her hands and closed her eyes.
