Chapter Nineteen

Shay

Endless screams and groans echoed into the halls, but I couldn’t see the agonized sources. I had no idea where I was or how many days I had been chained here. The room was dark, and I could barely see, even with my enhanced vision. I managed a few steps forward but was soon jerked to a stop by the thick shackles wrapped around my wrists and ankles. Reinforced metal, probably dipped in the River Styx. There was no way I would ever escape from here. Not without help.

Help.

They would come for me. Someone would. I was a warrior, and warriors leave no man behind, leave no comrade behind. In this case, it was leave no Nephilim.

A deep voice penetrated the darkness, reverberating against the cold walls. “I see you’re finally awake.”

“Is this the point where you say you’re going to torture me?” I kept my voice low, not wanting my fear to show.

His smug laughter rumbled through the cell. “Your stay here won’t be pleasant, Nephilim. Not at all. Now, sit back and relax, and I’ll let you ponder things for a bit while I go topside and scout things out for myself.”

In the next moment, a figure appeared inside my cell. I couldn’t make out any distinguishable features, except that he was around my height and weight. Before I could say a word, an arm shot out from under his long, black robes, and his fingers curled into a ball. Even though he wasn’t touching them, the chains constricted suddenly, slamming me back against the cold stone wall.

“Rumor is,” hissed the voice, “there’s a pretty young thing out there with green eyes and brown hair. They say she could be the one the Eternals have been looking for. The buzz around town is that she’s been hiding in Minnesota ...”

He found her?

A finger pointed in my direction and twitched. My body slammed face first into the hard cement ground. I gritted my teeth, holding in my pain, but when I clenched my hands, the chains rattled.

“I see that got your attention,” he said, his confident voice slithering over my skin. “I might have to go check this little bombshell out for myself, find out if she’s worth all the hubbub I’m hearing. Maybe I’ll make her an offer she can’t refuse.” He bellowed. “Well, she could try, I suppose, I have ways to make her accept my offer. I have you to barter with. Think she’ll trade?”

Damn it. It is about Zoe.

I shook my head, then coughed when a metal collar suddenly appeared and clamped around my neck. It squeezed until it became a perfect fit, slowly drawing the chain into the wall until it was taut. I had to stand on my tiptoes to take some of the pressure off my neck.

“Still nothing?” He shrugged. “No problem. I don’t actually need you to be alive for this. She might want her soul mate to still be breathing, but that’s not in my plan.”

“Leave Zoe alone!” I screamed, though my voice was muffled by the collar.
