Chapter Twelve
As my molecules hurtled to god knew where, everything, even my hair, hurt. But the sensation I felt most was the razor blades that scraped across my skin. Alana was indeed dark. In fact, there was no Alana. There was only a Caedis who had tricked us into throwing away our lives.
How could that be? Even if a Caedis had snuck through the Demongate the night of the massacre, surely it would have popped up on the Fidei registry. How could it have roamed around for ten years undetected? The answer was, this Caedis had an unlikely advantage. Having taken over a witch’s body, it had gained not only her spellcasting talents but also the ability to tamp down its signature. Yet a mature witch’s body came with disadvantages as well. Was this Caedis so powerful it was able to control the magic inside a witch’s body? Upper-level demon strength working in unison with skilled spellcasting, all in one deadly package. That thought struck fear in my heart.
But mostly it made me wonder how the hell we were going to get out of this alive.
No matter how powerful she was, this Caedis was a fucking bad driver. The first time I traveled with a spellbead, it was over in an instant. But with practice, I was able to slow down time and see the possibility of controlling the direction of the trip. I hadn’t mastered it yet, but I was confident that one day I’d be able to “steer.” This spellbead trip felt like I’d been hit by a semi-truck then put in a flatbed wagon drawn by clumsy horses over broken rock. Every time I thought she was about to land she swerved us back into motion, jarring my brain in my skull. Every part of my body screamed in pain. She was zigzagging all over the place. I didn’t love having my molecules hacky-sacked about, but it was the least of my problems.
Alana concentrated on steering this wacked out ride as we sailed toward the outskirts of the city, the ground rapidly approaching. Asher’s eyes narrowed as if he had a plan. His tattoos swirled, golden firebolts on his fingertips. As the ground was rushing up to meet us, he hurled two blasts at the Caedis’s back, clearly hoping to catch her off guard. No such luck. Without turning around, she called magic to her hands and sent a green firebolt right at Asher’s torso.
Our ride was about to slam into the earth. I braced for impact.
Asher was thrown like a rag doll and slammed into the far wall, landing with his limbs turned at odd angles. Angry blisters, edged with charred skin slashed across his stomach. My blood ran cold. I knew the pain he was feeling. It was a Caedis sear. If we didn’t find a way to get the poison out, it would kill him within hours.
My boot hit the floor, and I tucked and rolled as more razorlike sensations sliced through my already beleaguered limbs.
