Drake watched Scott escort Toni and Mandy into the woods, then turned toward Hank, who stood outside his truck with a pair of binoculars, watching them. Drake smiled and disappeared, only to reappear right behind Hank.

“I warned you, didn’t I?”

Hank jumped and swung around to meet Drake’s fist, which slammed into his face. “What the hell are you?” He covered his broken nose as blood dripped between his fingers.

Drake could see the craziness in his eyes. This human wasn’t safe for anyone to be around. He glanced back toward his brother, then turned and grabbed the front of Hank’s jacket and lifted him in the air just as Hank raised the gun and shoot into the woods. He sucked in his breath and turned to see Toni fall to the ground. Drake couldn’t believe Hank had not only gotten off a shot but hit his wife. Hank had been leaning against the door of the truck, but he hadn’t seen him reach into the truck.

“Now, no one will have her,” Hank sneered.

Every nerve in Drake’s body tingled as he grabbed Hank’s neck and snapped it. He dropped the body and ran to Toni.

Scott and Mandy hurried to her as Drake cradled her in his arms.

“How did she get away from you, Scott?” Tears slipped down Drake’s face as Mandy fell to the ground next to him.

“Is she okay?” She brushed Toni’s hair out of her face.

Scott knelt next to them. “It seems she learned how to flash where she wanted to go.” He shook his head. “I swear, I’m going to beat her ass tonight,” he snapped and traced his finger down her cheek. “She’s totally in our world now.”

Mandy looked up at him, then at Scott. “What do you mean in your world?” Her hands shook.

Drake sighed, waiting for Toni to heal and awaken. “She died, Mandy. As soon as she did, Toni entered our world. She will be like us now. Humans can only see us if we want them to. We walk in a different but parallel world. She wasn’t supposed to be able to do what she did, but somehow she was able to draw on her family’s magical heritage and our powers.”

Toni stirred in his arms. “I was just trying to make sure you would be okay. Didn’t want to lose you.” She traced his jaw with a shaky hand. “Lost too many I love.” She smiled up at him.

Drake sucked in his breath and hissed, “Damn it, Toni. You knew I could handle Hank, but instead you placed yourself in danger and got yourself killed. I’m so furious at you right now that I don’t know whether to beat your ass or to kiss that stupid grin off your face.” He shook her.

She giggled, making him even more furious. “Well, I, for one, would go for the kissing,” she teased and tried to sit up, but moaned, glancing down at her coat. “Damn, he really did shoot me.” She trembled as she looked at the blood and the hole on her coat.
