Halston fought to break through Bund’s demonic aura. He knew what he was doing and the horror of having Koa linked to that demon made him consider doing something completely wrong.

He had to protect her. He’d promised her father. But even more than that, he refused to let the only woman he’d ever loved suffer a form of demonic possession. Bund would not have her.

Bund cackled and continued his assault on Koa’s soul. “How does it feel, Halston, to be helpless against my power this time?”

“Leave her out of this!”

Bund shot a glare at Halston. His hands continued to build upon his inner power and collect energy from the dead bodies all around.

“While you’ve been running around for centuries, trying to help these weak humans, I’ve been feasting on their souls and becoming stronger.”

“Stop this,” Halston shouted. Sweat beaded on Halston’s forehead. He tried to pump more power into his shield so that it could penetrate Bund’s. To his dismay, Bund’s dark shield grew larger and larger, forming a smoky bubble around his body, and pushing Halston further away from him.

Bund ignored Halston’s orders. His power lifted Koa’s seemingly lifeless from the ground.

“Want to know what I learned after all of these centuries on Earth?” Bund grinned. “Vampire souls make me even stronger.”

Halston growled with frustration. He realized that his only chance was to get Koa’s body out of Bund’s range.

He flew as fast as he could, grabbed Koa’s arm, and slung her over his shoulder. Bund chased him. Halston flew away with Koa, higher into the dark sky. Bund may be stronger than Halston in some ways, but Halston still had an edge on the demon because of his speed and agility.

He flew high into the clouds as the storm raged on. Before long, Bund could no longer see them. Halston could no longer feel his presence. They were safely out of the demon’s range. As if God knew that Bund was on their heels, the storm picked up. Rain fell in torrents. The wind howled loudly. Heaven was very angry.

Bund would never be able to find them. Halston said a silent prayer and turned his attention from fleeing, to finding shelter where he could revive Koa.

He knew a place nearby. It would not do to go to any of the inns or hotels. Instead, Halston took Koa to a cavern. He put her body down and touched her face. Her skin was nearly blue. Her eyes were wide open, but there wasn’t a shred of life within them.

Halston held her face in between his palms. He dripped water over her as he closed his eyes and focused on using his inner glow to heat her just enough to not burn her flesh. Halston was never much of a healer. That was more of Micka’s job. He wished he could get Micka out there to help.

To his utter joy, Koa sat up with a start. She screamed. Halston frowned and covered her mouth with his hand. She kept screaming, a scream that meant she had felt the demon’s presence in her soul.
