Chapter Twelve

Shane, the chauffeur, didn’t like what was going on inside the building. Lights were going off and on and he heard some scary shit over his radio. Shane stepped outside the navy blue Mercedes. He walked over to the door of Lincoln House and stepped inside. His action was met by screams somewhere inside the place. One of them sounded like Irene. He continued walking toward the sound until he came to the main ballroom. He pulled on the doors but found them locked. Shane tried to ram his shoulders against it to open it but the door wouldn’t budge. He tried again but he still couldn’t open it.

Something lifted him from the floor. “What the hell?” Shane struggled but the force was too great and it threw him bodily toward the entrance of Lincoln House. His body slammed into the wall, knocking the wind out of him and sending pain through his body.

Shane dropped to the floor and crawled out of the door. People walking by in the neighborhood stood and looked at him but no one tried to assist. He crawled to the car and pulled himself up. He opened the door and slid himself in behind the wheel. He reached for his cell phone and punched in the number.

“This is Shane,” he told the party on the other line. “We need backup. Send Taj and Maestro to Lincoln House immediately.” He disconnected the call and slumped back in the seat. Whatever it was inside the building had the ability to do more than one thing at a time. He, on the other hand, knew his limitations.

It was the ugliest thing she had ever seen in her life and Isabella had seen some doozies. It was big, light blue, with bulging eyes and tentacles. It looked much like a jelly fish/octopus combination, but had more layers. Something foul oozed from its pores. The others covered their noses with their hands…all except her.

The thing reached for Isabella with one of its tentacles but Ernie stepped in the way. The tentacle caught him across the arm, slicing through the skin. Ernie howled and grabbed for the arm to stop the flow of blood. “It’s razor sharp,” he warned the others. “Stay away from the tentacles.”

“You cannot stop me, mortals. I will have Isabella.” It reached for her again but Isabella ducked, escaping its grasp.

The room shook around them. “Do not toy with me, Vanquisher. I am the Soul Gatherer. It is your turn.”

Now, why didn’t the world end before this? Isabella wondered.

Collena pulled out her cell phone from her pocket and dialed. “Hello, Angela. This is Collena. Find me everything you can on a demon called the Soul Gatherer and get back to me ASAP.”

Collena hung up. “Angela is checking this thing out. She said Taj and Maestro are on the way.”

“Good—more souls,” the demon replied. “The more the merrier.”

Shit. More mortals to protect. Isabella moved so quickly that no one saw her…it was a gift inherited from her father, Darius.
