Chapter 20

The curse is a secure one. It is futile to think there may be a way to reverse it. Damon isn’t just asking for war. He is going to guarantee it.

~Bezaliel~

Amber led us to the chapel. It was the last place I expected a Demon to be, but there he was, Damon and a room full of people. Marcas kept me in front of him as we moved down the main aisle of the church. I vaguely heard Amber behind us asking Monroe to stay silent. It was important that she remain vague. That scared me. What were we headed into? Marcas moved confidently. It didn’t take long before people took notice. The room fell silent.

“What were you thinking, brother?” Marcas asked loudly.

I cowered. The whole room was full of sect members, men and women, Sisters and Brothers, and even teenagers I went to school with. And in the midst of them all stood Damon. He looked like Marcas. Or maybe it was the other way around. But, either way, it was obvious to all gathered that the two Demons were twins. Damon’s eyes fell on me a moment, and I shivered. It wasn’t because his gaze was cold. No, it was because it was warm, intent . . .obsessed even. It made me recall the last time we’d met. Marcas moved in front of me and the connection broke.

“You, of all people, are aware of my intent, Marcas,” Damon answered quietly, his voice full of an assurance no one else seemed to be feeling. The whole room was full of goosebumps, shuffling feet, and fidgeting arms. Marcas took a step forward.

“You made a mistake, brother,” Marcas hissed.

I saw Damon frown. Failure, as far as I could tell, was NOT a part of Damon’s vocabulary.

“I made no such thing,” Damon argued. “She’s from a line of Seth and the Watchers. She will bring us redemption. She will bring her people redemption.”

"You lied to them," Marcas' voice said suddenly in my head, and my eyes went wide.

"I had to, brother," Damon's voice replied. What was this? I looked around the room, but no one else seemed to hear their voices. All eyes were on the twins.

“She will be the end of us all,” Marcas said aloud.

I looked between the two men, both so young and so old, and I felt hatred. I wasn’t anything more than a girl. They were making me much more than that and not giving me a choice.

“Damon has a point,” my aunt spoke up suddenly. “The Watchers fell because they lay with the daughters of Cain. From them were born the Nephilim: aberrations, giants, madmen”

My aunt moved to the front of the room. I felt cold looking at her. Maybe it was because she agreed with Damon. Maybe it was because she was so willing to use me to save herself. Either way, she didn’t seem to notice. She waved a hand to encompass the room.

“And the line of Seth became contaminated because it did the same.
