Chapter Six

The searing heat radiating from the portal told me we were headed straight to Hell. Panic seized my brain, and for a moment I did nothing. Just held on as we fell in what seemed like slow motion through the opening.

Then my fight reflex kicked in and I focused. In my mind, I pictured the demon hunters’ large antebellum headquarters. The one place the demon would never choose to go. But as long as he was hanging on to me, I was in control of his destination. My magic might not be one hundred percent, but there was nothing wrong with my shadow–walking abilities.

As soon as we hit the portal, the heat vanished, replaced by a cool mist. The pair of us crashed into the shadows in a barren spot with no distinguishing surroundings. Just a grayness of nothing. I had no idea where we were.

My heart started hammering in my chest. I’d once before ended up in a desolate place where I’d been trapped, waiting for someone, anyone, to rescue me because my magic had failed me.

“Where the fuck are we?” Chad growled and jumped to his feet, already reaching for me.

But I was too quick. I darted to the left and circled around him. “Not in Hell.”

He spun, his fists clenched in obvious frustration. Good. As long as he was focused on me, he wouldn’t go back to find Janie. My magic started to bubble inside me the way it usually did when I’m shadow walking, and I almost grinned in relief. This was nothing like when I’d previously been in the void world. I was just in a deserted part of the shadows.

I could try to walk myself right back to the university, but if the demon had any skills at all, he’d just follow me. No. I really couldn’t leave until I managed to expel the demon from Chad’s body, send the demon back to where he belonged, and then I’d have to manage to get Chad back to our world.

But how could I separate the demon from the man? Magic? Not without hurting Chad. But that was better than letting the demon keep his body. Curling my hands into fists, I searched deep within myself for the magic spark, then I thought of Vaughn. I imagined the last time we’d been together. Let myself experience the memory of his touch, the tingles of magic that always formed once we connected. And then the way I felt when he loved me.

Magic strummed hot and bright from the depths of my inner being and strained to be released. “Hey, demon,” I called.

His eyes glowed red with hatred. “Dirty witch.”

“I might be dirty, but at least I’m not a stinking, soulless asshole who has to steal angels to get a date.”

He snorted as if my insult was lame.

Maybe it was, but it amused me and that’s all that mattered. “Get the eff out of Chad’s body. Now.”

“Or what?” He raised an eyebrow nonchalantly.

“Or this.” I stretched out my hands and let a torrent of magic fly.
