The morning was brisk and chilly as we crossed the street toward Saint Pancras station. We passed the big brick building and the bell tower on top, and headed for the station behind.

As soon as we entered, we were caught up in the rush of people going to work or on holiday. We followed them into the main part of the station, an enormous rectangular space with a tall glass ceiling and shops on either side. The building had been built in the nineteenth century, and looked it.

I liked historic places, but this one had me a bit nervous. Probably because I was here to find a way to get this death collar off my neck.

My gaze darted, searching for demon guards. There were none that I could see, but that didn’t put me at ease.

We stuck close to the shops along the side of the building, blending with the crowd as we crept toward the area that was closest to the bell tower. The shops were less busy back here, so we pretended to be window-shopping.

Subtly, I called upon my dragon sense, feeding it my desire to find an entrance to the bell tower. After a while, it caught hold, pulling me toward the back right of the station.

“This way.” I took Ares’s hand, as if we were just a couple out having a stroll.

I pulled him toward a darkened area of the station. There was a corridor leading off to the right. The sign indicating that the restrooms were down that way had been modified with an Out of Order note. Three orange cones blocked the way.

“This is what your men were talking about.” I walked straight for it.

“Agreed.”

As soon as we neared the cones, I was hit with the strongest sense that I shouldn’t go back there. It was under construction, and the maintenance staff were probably hard at work fixing the toilets. I couldn’t possibly bother them.

“Feel that?” I murmured.

“Same as last night. Stronger though.”

“Good thing we had practice, then.” Whoever was in this building, they really liked their repelling charms. And considering we were in Britain where everyone liked to queue up and follow the signs politely, this was a good charm. It probably repelled 99.99% of everyone who wandered back here.

Except us.

I hurried through the cones and into the darkened corridor. It was about fifteen feet wide and twenty-five feet deep.

Slowly, I crept deeper, Ares at my side.

True to the sign, it smelled of broken toilets. The bathroom door was cracked slightly open, but my dragon sense had no interest in that. The wall at the end of the hall was built of brick that hadn’t been scrubbed clean in a long while.

My dragon sense tugged hard toward it. “I think we need to go through that wall.”

Ares nodded and we started toward it.

Almost immediately, it became difficult to walk. As if we were walking through transparent pudding. It felt like I had hundred-pound weights attached to my ankles.

“This is weird.” Even my voice came out slowly.
