Chapter 13

You can’t be fucking serious? Someone followed them? How? How did I fucking miss that?

“Who the fuck is here?” Draven hollered. Faith crawled from his lap to her mother’s. She knew he needed to be able to attack at a moment’s notice. That’s my girl. Jesminda thought.

“Who are you?”

She looked at the stranger from the rest stop. She’d danced with this man and he’d not given her any reason to think he was following them. She could feel the dread in the air, almost taste it. An acrid smell lingered, compressed the space making it thicker. It became eerily quiet. All things seem to shut down, bugs, machine, even the wind wasn’t blowing. She looked from Draven to Royce then back to the stranger. All the men in the room were glaring at one another and their testosterone was a firm brush against her skin, heated and angry.

“I asked you a question,” Draven repeated again. Royce moved into position behind him so he and Draven now blocked him in.

“I am Solon of House Phoenix.”

“You’re full of shit! I’m of House Phoenix and I would know my own kin.” Bells retorted forcefully.

Something bad was coming Jes could feel it.

“House Phoenix?”

“Explanations later, fight now.”

The ground rocked with such force Jesminda thought it was an earthquake. Faith clutched her in a strong hold around her neck and Bells quickly rushed the three of them into the back room of the house. She held tight to Faith as she and Bells checked the doors. Bells was making her way over to the window when it shattered. The shards sprayed in all directions. Jesminda turned and bent at the waist shielding her daughter. Small fragments embedded in her skin and the pain was minimum compared to the pain she would feel if the glass had cut Faith. It didn’t matter if her daughter could heal herself. If she could prevent her daughter from feeling the smallest amount of pain she was all for it.

The sound of fighting came from the front room as the men tried to keep their attackers back. Snarls and the sound of bodies crashing against the walls shook the foundation of the house. The noise was chaotic and muffled. She could feel the pounding of her heart in her ears, a deafening sound as it rose to a loud crescendo threatening to split her open. Who had followed them? Who was here? Bells shoved a hard hand to her side and because she was holding Faith in a death grip Jesminda hit the ground hard. More shards dug deep into her skin and she let out a sharp cry of pain, but stayed down.

She tried to shield Faith from as much of the scene as possible. Jes turned slightly to see what had caused Bells to push her down, and couldn’t believe the horror displayed in front of her. Bells had shifted into her phoenix form. Long multi-colored feathers jutted from slits in her shoulder blades. The ends of her primaries were tipped with fire, crackled, and whipped when she moved.
