CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Fifteen Minutes Ago

Indecipherable words and fluttering wings to her face had Nephthys swatting at the annoying disturbance and opening her eyes. She thought Isis put the children back to bed before she and Osiris left the house. Why were they up? More, what in the hell were they going on about?

“Come on, give me a break. I don’t speak your language. Slow down.”

They didn’t slow down. If anything, their incoherent words came out faster and louder. Fairy dust was everywhere, a trail of gold-and-pink that fell from the agitated Yumboes in bright specks. Purple wings flapped a rapid, desperate cadence as the three children flew from Nephthys to the bedroom windows and back again.

She hadn’t seen them this upset since the day they ran for their lives from the demons.

Shit, demons. Nephthys jumped out of bed, her shift into her hybrid form complete by the time she joined the fairies at a window. Flinging open the curtains, Nephthys blinked against the bright yellow light beaming onto the acres of land below.

After the attack on Isis, the Tyets had scoured every inch of the manor for entry and exit points. They’d found the balcony doors to Isis and Osiris’s room open and the ground wires to the security lights cut. Aset had the wires repaired and upgraded the entire system.

Nephthys ran out of her bedroom. The Yumboes hitched a ride, each of them claiming a braid and holding on tightly.

The yellow light warning of danger wasn’t an ordinary security light.

“Mother,” she yelled as she flew down the hall. Nephthys didn’t wait to see whether Nut heard her and was on her way. The sky dragon, after Isis’s attack, had become a very light sleeper. “Aset, Hathor, Serqet.”

When she didn’t hear their reply, Nephthys knew for sure. One of them had sent the fairies to her room to get her while they fulfilled their duty as Tyets.

Because, hell no, the yellow light hadn’t been security or flood lights but dragon magic.

Merit’s yellow energy dragon.

The bright yellow dragon was somewhere above the manor, lighting up the battlefield and taking away the demons’ dark advantage and giving Aset’s shadow dragon all the assistance she would need.

“Find a place to hide.” Nephthys removed the fairies from her hair. “I know you understand me. Stay in here and out of sight. Don’t come out no matter what you hear.”

Fairies were the equivalent of having a medic beside you in battle, but better because their treatment healed the wounded within minutes. Nephthys would be damned, however, if she took children into battle. She hadn’t saved their lives to turn around and allow them to put themselves in danger because they were grateful to the twins.

Three sad frowns didn’t change her mind. Neither did slumped shoulders and watery eyes. Isis didn’t need to return home to more dead children, and Nephthys wouldn’t have their deaths on her conscience. She watched them fly up the stairs and, presumably, back to the nursery.

Now, for the intruders.

Nephthys burst through the front door, white wings out and right into a small group of shocked demons.
