CHAPTER NINE - PAIGE

Riley stopped the SUV as soon as we were on the outskirts of town.

“Why are we stopping? It’s on the other side of the island,” I said, looking around wondering if we were about to be attacked.

“We both need to change and get rid of these clothes,” he replied. “That’s the only thing I can think of that the Tiphon used to track us back to the motel.”

“I thought you said that they tracked by blood scent?”

He shrugged. “That’s what I’ve always been told, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it had other methods. Demons seldom divulge all their secrets. Believe me, the next time I run across one, I’m going to ask.”

That was a strange response, and I made a mental note to ask Riley what exactly he did that brought him into contact with the demon world.

“The sooner we ditch these clothes, the better.”

I flushed. “I don’t have anything to change into, and I’m guessing with how fast we left the motel, you don’t either.”

He tapped the glass, and I realized that he had parked across from the Calamata Island General Store. I tapped the display on the clock in the dashboard. “It’s not open yet.”

He flashed a smile. “A minor detail. We should probably grab a few supplies while we’re at it if we’re going to be in the woods.”

“I’m not really comfortable with this,” I said.

“You stay here.” He took a gun out of his pocket and handed it to me. “Have you ever used one of those?”

“No,” I said.

“It’s easy. Point and shoot. Just remember to take the safety off first.” He winked at me, and I couldn’t help but smile back at him. We were fugitives running from demons, but yet I could swear that he was flirting with me. Stranger yet, I found that I didn’t mind.

“I’ll do my best,” I said. “Don’t take too long.” I wasn’t crazy about being left alone, but that was more palatable than breaking into a store that I visited almost every day. The General Store stocked flowers from Christopher’s shop, and I often handled the delivery runs.

“Back in a flash,” he said. Then he was gone.

I looked at the gun in my lap. Then I picked it up and examined it closer. Smith and Wesson semi-automatic .22mm, sprung into my mind. I have no idea how I knew that. As far as I knew, I had never held a gun before in my life. But as current events were proving to me, there was a lot about my life that I was painfully unaware of. I picked up the gun, and flicked my wrist around so that it pointed at an area outside of the windshield. Then I turned so that it was pointing out the back. It felt natural to have a gun in my hands, and suddenly I was more than certain that I knew how to shoot it.

As I started to process that revelation, the driver’s side door opened, and I swung the gun back at the opening.
