Chapter Nineteen

“There are no humans in there.” Ree said. For a moment she felt sorry for the disgusting creature in her arms as she fought him down the steps.

“She’s a Dark One! You’re trying to kill my wife!”

Ree’s heart stopped and she looked at Melanie. Her friends’ face was a frozen mask of horror, matching the cold sensation in Ree’s stomach. Weylin barreled out of the door, grabbed the guy Ree was fighting, and helped drag him away. They pulled the incensed man down the road and into the shadow of the alley. Paden was only a few seconds behind them. Blood was splattered on his shirt and his face was grim. As soon as he cleared the entrance to the alley, the house exploded. Dust, debris, and smoke filled the street. Weylin let go of the darkling and ducked back out to make sure all of the Dark Ones were destroyed.

The darkling howled in fury and fought free of Ree’s grip. He tried to run out into the alley, but Paden caught hold of his shirt and threw him to the ground. “What is his problem?”

“His wife was a Dark One.” Melanie looked down at the darkling starting to stir by her feet.

“Oh, shit.” Paden looked at Ree, his eyes a little wide.

“Let me go to her!” The darkling pulled himself up.

“It’s done.” Weylin walked into the alley and covered his ears when the darkling howled in pain. “Dude, you were hitting on teenage girls. It can’t be that serious.”

“I was getting her dinner.” The darkling snarled and tried to run at Weylin. “You killed her. You killed my wife.”

“No, I didn’t. Someone else did that a while ago.” Weylin grabbed the guys’ arms and penned him to the wall. In the distance, another explosion sounded, and their group looked at one another. They needed to get back to the boat before the place was crawling with cops.

“You have a choice.” Paden looked at the darkling over Weylin’s shoulder. You can let Ree take your taint away, or we end this all now. We don’t have time to fight.”

“Don’t touch me. We chose this! This was our way out.” The madman fought harder and managed to pull one of the knives out of the sheath of Weylin’s waist. He stabbed Weylin in the gut and tried to slash at his neck, but Weylin reacted quickly. Using both hands, he grabbed the darklings’ head and snapped his neck.

“Weylin!” Melanie rushed over and pulled his shirt up. The wound was puckered and angry, but starting to heal. Paden walked over and placed his hand over the red slash for just a moment.

“We’ve got to go. I can hear the sirens.” Paden nodded his head at Weylin and turned to look at Ree. She let her gaze fall on the dead darkling and felt hollow inside. She looked at the larger darkling that had finally woken up.

“It’s your turn to decide.” Ree looked down into his eyes and knew the moment he made his decision.
