Chapter 10

As I sprinted away from Janet and toward the Berlin Wall, the run taking far longer than I had anticipated, I realized how fortunate this moment was. I had anticipated that the demons would attack the marathoners, turning a sickening percentage of Berlin into shifters. I feared that they would use the pandemonium and confusion to their advantage. Fortunately, they’d only seized one person—that I was aware of, at least. They had bitten more, but peace reigned. For now.

But it was only a matter of time before Mundus and his armies showed no concern about invading the human realm without disguises or subtlety. And when that happened, how would the world react to the demons? To the Arachtar? The world was not Hollywood or Las Vegas, where people who looked like demons could be dismissed as playing their part for a bizarre film or street performance. Once demons popped up in places like rural Tennessee, Ukraine, Malaysia, Argentina, and Mexico City, to name just a few, panic would ensue. Governments would have to either face reality or come up with some incredible explanations to push things away.

I could see it now. The conservatives in America declaring this to be a sign of the apocalypse. The atheists claiming that this was some sort of religious terrorism, using hardened metaphors from our time to scare us.

None of it mattered, though. Thinking about a future that I had no control over only wasted energy, energy I needed for when I would confront Mundus, Tyrus, and, sadly, Paul Stephens. Any spillover to the world’s consciousness was something I could not control. I knew someday I would have to tell my story of what happened here, and hopefully, that would be it. Hopefully, it would be the words of a hopeful woman and not the words of one of the last non-shifters on Earth.

As I ran north and then east, no one seemed to take notice of me. Most people just laughed, sat on benches, congratulated their friends, and sipped on beer. I wished I could feel like them. Especially when I began to see bite marks.

No one had actually died, which was the funny thing. To me, it was actually a worse alternative. For many of them, dying would have meant a chance to pass to heaven and fight the good fight. Turning into shifters turned them into ticking time bomb slaves for Mundus. They were conscripted into his army and didn’t even know it.

First things first, though. You need help. Get it from DJ and Carsis.

I continued moving as quickly as I could, finally arriving at the Berlin Wall Memorial. Two major details caught my attention when I arrived. One, the place was devoid of all humans. It looked like someone had evacuated the place. Or wiped it clean.

And two, the absence of all life extended to DJ and Carsis.

I cursed under my breath and took stock of the area. On my right, a small building going up about five stories rose, containing multiple levels of exhibits about the Berlin Wall.
