Zoe had been surprised when Nick suggested they go back to Original Sin. Devlin had been a dead end.

“Tell me why you want to deal with the emo again,” she remarked, as he took her hand and led her inside the club.

“I got a protection charm off of Raf. I’ll be safe from Devlin. He’s one of the strongest fey. He must know something about who’s summoning the sluagh and why.”

“I doubt he’ll be happy to see us. Maybe we should have disguised ourselves.”

“I want him to know who we are. We’re more likely to catch him off guard that way.” Nick ordered them some drinks as they approached the bar. “Maybe he’ll slip up if he’s sees we’re here, and he’ll start feeling the pressure.”

“Won’t he just try and throw us out?” Zoe arched a brow. “He threatened to do that.”

“No, because I marked him, remember? He can’t use his powers to hurt us.”

Zoe scanned the crowd, her senses reeling from the club’s intense energy. She grabbed her Pepsi as Nick found them a table.

“Do you need me to get his attention again?”

“No, he’ll know we’re here. Until then, fancy a dance?”

Her mouth fell open. “You? Dance?” She laughed. “This I’ve got to see.”

He took her hand, spinning her around on the dancefloor. “Hey, we might as well have some fun.”

Zoe slipped her arms around his neck. “Dancing, coming to a club – this is almost a date.”

Nick smirked. “Do you want it to be?”

She blushed, remembering how he kissed her. “I don’t want to ruin what we have between us. Our friendship means everything but I’m not good at relationships.”

“I don’t want to either, but…” He leaned down, their lips almost meeting. “Zoe, I—”

Zoe’s senses reeled as a sudden screech rang through the club.

“Twice in one day. Lucky us,” Nick muttered as he pulled away. “Everyone out, now!” he yelled.

People screamed, fleeing as a mass of black seeped in. Zoe felt Nick slip from her grasp as the clubbers trampled across the dance floor. She lost sight of him in the chaos, along with the sluagh. She did spot Devlin, whose shock of blonde hair stood out behind the bar. “Hey!” she called.

His eyes widened when he saw her. From the corner of her eye, she spotted Nick, still herding people outside. The sluagh shot toward Devlin, its wispy hands wrapping around the emo’s throat. Devlin let out a strangled cry and light began pouring out of him.

Bugger! Zoe raised her hands, blasting it with light, but it seemed to pass straight through it.

During their research that day, they had discovered the only way to stop a sluagh would be to break the connection to whoever had summoned it, then banish it once and for all.

She blasted it again.

The sluagh turned, baring fangs at her. “Stay out of this,” it snarled.

Nick had vanished among the crowd. It looked like she’d be on her own.

She spun and kicked the creature in the stomach. But that did nothing to deter it.
