CHAPTER ELEVEN

THEY DIDN'T HAVE much time left. The sun would rise in a few hours and they would stick out in the air like a big, gray lizard in the sky. She hoped that she would be able to find him again in the same forest she had chased him in a few days ago. It was a long shot, but she didn't know how else to find him. They landed near the end of the gully and she got down on her hands and knees to yell into the small hole.

"Malicious! Are you in there?" She waited a few seconds and then tried again. "Malicious!"

"Yes?" She spun around and saw The Demon behind her, leaning against a fallen tree. Loric came crashing through the brush. "I see you brought your friend?"

"I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find you again." She wasn't sure why, but she felt reassured now that she had found him.

"All you had to do was call my name and I would have found you."

That's creepy.

"Everything is happening as you said. I've seen the demons and the witches together."

"And so you want to be more than just friends?" The Demon grinned, and it made her feel warm inside. She remembered how she had felt after they had touched fingertips, right here in this spot.

"Yes, I want to talk about the possibility of working with the demons to defeat the witches."

"Are you speaking for the whole Benandanti?"

"No, not yet. Right now this is just between you and me."

"Tisk, tisk. Secrets can be fun, just like a loaded gun." He stood up and took a step closer to Morrigan.

"I presented everything to my family and they didn't believe me."

"Just like you didn't believe me when I first told you. How does it feel?"

"It feels bad." He took another step closer to her.

"I can imagine. So do you now believe that we have a common enemy?"

"Yes, I do."

"And that we should be working together?"

"Yes." He took a third step toward her and was now close enough to reach out and touch her.

Morrigan. Be careful. I can't torch him when he's this close to you.

She took a step back.

"Then the ball is in your court. How will you convince the Benandanti to team up with us?"

"I'm still trying to work that out. How will I know that your demons won't just turn on us when we're at our most vulnerable?"

"Everything that belongs to me does my bidding whether they like it or not," said The Demon with a nasty smile. "Before you go, I do have one more vision that I can share with you. It involves both your own future and your daughter's." He didn't take another step forward but instead held his fingertip out toward her. She wanted to feel the comfort and warmth of his touch again. She wanted to feel loved in the way that only he could. It both thrilled and terrified her.

"Will it help me to convince my people to team up with you?" The grin on his face faltered.
