“Those with the Touch pick up the negative energy and it can warp their minds.

Demons have a well-deserved reputation for many reasons. The fact that those with the Touch fight insanity is one of ’em.”

She wanted to scream. To yel that he was wrong about her brother, about every damn thing. But Niol knew demons far better than she did. “And what? Drugs are their only hope? Getting wasted? Overdosing and dying?”

“Mind shields.” His jaw worked. “We have to find a way to screen the kids and get them suited with shielding to block out the energy. It can be done, it can—”

“Doctor Drake is teaching me how to shield.” Said slowly.

Surprise flickered across his face.

“I won’t be helpless again,” she muttered.

“You never were.” Niol’s eyes held hers. “You never were.”

So said the guy with enough power to fry his enemies from the inside out.

Her temples ached. There was so much to take in. “Niol, you-you really think my brother was one of those with that—power?”

“Can’t know for sure. Not now.”

Because her brother had been buried in Meadows Cemetery for so many long years now. She visited him every Christmas, every February seventeenth—the day of his birth

—and every August third—the day she’d found his body.

“If he was like that…” And dammit, she was believing that he could have been. “Then why am I different?” Normal.

“You’re a hybrid demon.”

She knew the term. Someone with the mixed blood of a demon and…something else.

“Maybe a quarter demon, could be even less—I’m not done shaking your family tree.”

Ah, okay.

“Power manifests differently for hybrids. Sometimes…” His jaw clenched. “Fucking powerful bastards are born. And sometimes…”

“You get me,” she finished. “I don’t have any powers, Niol. I can’t make fire.” She glanced at the candles, all but sputtering out. “Can’t read minds. Can’t do—”

“You don’t know what you can do. Neither do I. Time will show us.” He didn’t sound particularly concerned. “What I do know about you—you can cloak your powers like no one I’ve ever seen.”

Well, that was something.
