Chapter Eight

Echo stood on the front porch, one hand clasped in Eyce’s the other in Syx’s. Syx and Vapre had arrived just in time to give a rather hostile welcome to Gage and receive a briefing on the situation from Hex. There’d been a bit of an argument about who should stay and who should go, but in the end, Hex won.

A lump formed in his throat as he watched the dark SUV carrying his men turn around in front on the house and travel down the long dirt drive that would lead them out to the main road. A part of him wished he was going with them. He didn’t know how much help he would be, but at least he would know what was going on. The thought of something happening to any of them made his chest tighten and his heart beat rapidly inside his chest.

“Tell me they’re going to be okay,” he whispered.

“They’ll be fine,” Syx assured him as he squeezed his hand. “Everyone will be back before you know it.”

“Where were you?” Echo looked up at Syx then over his shoulder to include Vapre. “Why do you keep disappearing without telling anyone?”

“I’ll tell you when the time is right,” Syx said mysteriously and winked. “It’s nothing bad, I promise. Just trust me, okay?”

“A little faith, yeah?” Vapre added as he moved around to stand in front of Echo, bending to kiss his lips. “We would never hurt any of you.”

“I know.” Echo sighed. “I just don’t like secrets.”

“You’ll like this one.” Then Vapre turned and looked out beyond the front yard to the tree line. “Should we go check the creek?”

Eyce groaned and nodded reluctantly. “I guess we should.”

“I’m coming, too,” Echo said firmly. “If I’m going to help, I need to see for myself.”

Surprisingly, Eyce agreed. “Yeah, I think you need to come with us. I don’t want you here alone, and I need Vapre and Syx down by the creek. Go grab a coat and your boots. We’ll wait here.”

Echo continued to stare at him for a minute, judging the truthfulness in Eyce’s words. Nodding slowly, he released the demon’s hand and hurried inside to grab his boots and jacket from the closet in the entryway. Moving quickly, he shoved his feet into his shoes, laced them up, then pulled his jacket on, glancing over his shoulder repeatedly to make sure his men still waited for him on the porch. He wouldn’t put it past them to lock him inside and go without him.

“Ready,” he announced.

“Thought we’d leave you here, huh?” Vapre smirked at him as he reached out to ruffle his hair. “Let’s go.”

Vapre led the way across the dead grass and into the woods, pushing aside low-hanging branches and prickly vines. Eyce walked beside Echo, helping him over fallen logs and big puddles of melting snow, while Syx brought up the rear. It took a little longer than his last trek into the forest, but soon they reached the small rippling stream.
