Chapter 17

“Love, that exempts no one beloved from loving, seized me with pleasure of this man so strongly, that, as thou seest, it doth not yet desert me.” Dante Alighieri

I took the tube to the Camden Market thinking about Gjöll and hell in general. I always liked keeping myself to myself; however right now I had to forget about all the risks and concentrate on getting back the letters. During my ride I put together a plan, just in case something went wrong tonight. The station was very busy. Normally I struggled being in the crowd for too long, but today I felt completely suffocated and overwhelmed by humans. I had to escape to the bathroom just so I could catch my breath. Earlier on Ricky had given me the elixir that was supposed to cover the fact that part of my genetic DNA was human. Deep down I told myself that I needed to stay positive.

I drank the elixir in the lou at the station. My T-shirt was drenched and my pulse was pounding loudly in my ears, which could only mean that the elixir started working. It slowly turned me into a full-blooded demon. The answer was at the market. I hoped that Ricky was right and I would be able to gamble money for information down there. Sometimes demons that left hell were looking to earn money selling a faction’s deepest secrets. That way they had more chances surviving on earth and creating a new life for themselves amongst humans

The demonic community around Camden Market was densely populated. I could only hope that everything was fine and the elixir had worked, because I was passing demons right, left, and centre. Deep down all the demons were alerted if there was a complete stranger hanging around their district. That’s why they were staring when I was passing by. I also spotted a few Watchers patrolling the streets, and that automatically made me feel uncomfortable.

Ricky had told me about a secret entrance somewhere in the Camden market meant to lead me down to the other place where demons traded whatever they could get their hands on. I never really hung around that part of London. Mongrels weren’t welcomed on the market and I liked sticking to places that I knew. Right now I was willing to do anything to track down Nameless Thief. On top of that I kept thinking about Zach’s missing sister. She was alive and well, somehow working with a demon that took her away from her family. Maybe this wasn’t my business, but Zara needed to be reminded that she had a life elsewhere. She was human after all. At least I hoped that this was still the case.

I kept walking through the streets, passing the bars, restaurants, tattoo studios, small stores filled with all sort of human crap. I could feel other demons reach out, hoping to break through my wards. It was unnerving and nerve wracking. The elixir must have been doing its job, because none dared to stop me.
