Chapter 7

Scott took another drink from his beer as he stared into the fire. The warmth and flickering dance of the flames lulled him into a calmness he had not felt in a long time. He looked around the living room. The exposed wood and brick gave it a unique look. It felt like a home. The house was warm and filled with love.

“You ready for another one?” Skylar held out a bottle of beer.

“Yeah.” Scott took the fresh bottle of beer. He drank the rest of the liquid in the bottle he already had and handed it to his brother.

“So what did you want to talk to us about?” Abby waddled into the living room. Skylar took the mug of hot chocolate from her and helped her sit down on the couch.

“Do you want the throw?” Skylar handed the hot chocolate back to her.

Abby shook her head. “I’m good right now.” She put her arm over her huge belly.

“When are you due?” asked Scott. He could see the baby move.

“In about two and half months.” Abby smiled as she rubbed her belly. “She’s been really active today. Hopefully, she lets me sleep tonight.”

Scott took a drink from the bottle. “Was it really a demon that kept you two apart?”

Skylar and Abby looked at each other. Abby sighed. Skylar sat down beside her and put his arm around her. Abby looked at her brother-in-law. “It was. Why do you ask?”

“I don’t think the person stalking Courtney is really a person.”

“What do you mean?” asked Abby.

Scott looked at her. “It’s a demon.”

Abby and Skylar looked at each other but did not say anything.

“I got a call from a buddy of mine who is on the Amarillo police force. He called earlier. The body of the guy who lived across from Courtney was found in his apartment…or rather I should say the shell. The guy’s body was completely sucked dry. There was only a withered shell left. A human didn’t do this.”

Abby pressed her lips together. She stared at the fire.

“What do you think? Am I crazy?”

“You’re not crazy.” Abby said in a low voice. “I think you may be right.”

Skylar picked up her hand and gave it a squeeze. “Maybe you should call Theo, and see what he knows.”

“Who’s Theo?” asked Scott.

“Theo is my half-brother.” Abby looked at Skylar.

“He needs to know.” Skylar frowned.

Abby nodded.

Skylar looked at his brother. “I’m warning you now. I won’t let Abby put herself or my cub in danger.”

Scott looked from his brother to Abby. “I don’t want either of them in any type of danger either.”

Abby sipped her hot chocolate. “You said Courtney has some strange abilities.”

Scott nodded.

“Theo Willis is my half-brother. We have the same father—a father I’ve never met. He was killed years ago by a demon…the same demon that tried to kill Skylar and me.” Abby took a deep breath. It was the truth, though not the complete truth, but Scott did not need to know the rest.

Scott stared at her. “You’re joking.
