The demon let go and Ed’s consciousness burst into life. It was his fault! His fault that Eddy was somehow trapped in the same place where Dax had languished for so long, where Eddy’s ex-demon had feared he would end up after his work on Earth ended.

Now how in the hell was Ed going to get his daughter out of the void? He’d waited for what felt like hours for the damned creature to sleep, but finally he’d felt the shift in power when the demon’s mind faded into darkness—faded and left Ed almost alone in his ruined body.

But what the hell could he do? He couldn’t go anywhere. His physical self was an absolute mess. According to the demon’s mind, it had “seriously degraded” over the past hours. Now that was an understatement as far as Ed could tell, but he didn’t mind. He’d not been allowed to eat or sleep since the demon had taken control, thank goodness. As much as he hated the thought of life ending, with any luck the body that had housed Ed Marks for almost seven decades would die, making it harder for the creature to harm Eddy or Dax.

Without an avatar, the demon would be forced back to Abyss. Enough of the demon’s thoughts bled over into Ed’s mind when the creature was thinking. He knew what was coming—knew that the goal was to steal Dax’s life force.

He also knew that the demon figured he could still use Ed’s body, even if it was dead. Not if Ed Marks had anything to do with it, but how could he fight an entity like the demon king?

What in heaven’s name could he do? How could he protect Eddy and Dax? Damn, but he loved Dax like his own son, and Ed knew if he had to die, Dax was the perfect one to take care of his baby girl for all eternity. If he’d chosen a man for Eddy, he couldn’t have done any better than Dax.

The poor boy must be frantic by now—Eddy lost in the void and her father just lost. Did they even know what had happened to him? He’d not talked to Eddy the day he was taken. His only contact since—that brief mental link—was what got her into this damned mess.

Lying there in the filthy attic, he thought of the things he wished he could say. Words he would speak if he had the chance, and he poured his heart and soul into the thoughts that would haunt him forever.

Eddy? Eddy, I wish you could hear me. I’m so sorry, sweetie. If I hadn’t called out to you when I did, the demon never would have found you, never would have had the ability to shove you out of the portal and into the void.

He somehow used the power of the vortex. I wish I knew how to help. I wish I could tell you how proud I am of you, how much I love you, but it might be too late.
