Chapter Nineteen

The hand clasped over my mouth muted my scream, but nothing could keep me from fighting back.

What the fuck?

It wasn’t every day I got pulled through the back of a bathroom stall, and while I tried to reconcile myself to the surrealness of being dragged into a dark hole in the wall, I was also trying to break free of my assailant.

Self-defense 101 taught you that even if someone was holding your arms, you could still slap backwards and get a good shot in at the groin.

I smacked my attacker hard, and he grunted. I say he even though I couldn’t see, because the grunt was decidedly male, and the arms holding me had been very hairy.

He didn’t let go of me, but he did release my mouth, which gave me enough of an edge to bite him in the hand. That was when he let go of me.

The door had closed behind us, and we were in the dark, presumably in a room or passage hidden behind the women’s bathroom stalls, which was creepy as hell and just got creepier the more you thought about it.

But we were also in a vampire bar, which meant this dude was probably a vampire. My window of time to defend myself was shrinking by the second because he’d recover quickly, and when he did, he would be mad, and an angry vampire wasn’t exactly a fair fight one-on-one.

I grabbed the knife out of my boot, and when he lunged at me a second time, I had it to his throat before he could get to mine.

The blade tickling the skin below his jaw gave him pause.

A thin line of blood traced down his neck.

My eyes had adjusted to the darkness, so now I was able to see that the vampire who’d attacked me had been none other than Bruno the guard.

“Jesus, you couldn’t even wait until I was out of the stall? I thought your deal was sloppy seconds.”

He blinked at me, clearly still expecting the timid Jessica ruse I’d favored when trying to win my way in with the vamps. Hook, line, and sinker, only now I was stuck inside a wall with this guy and had no idea how to get out.

I pressed the blade harder to his throat. “What am I doing in here?”

“We thought you’d make a good offering,” he said, speaking quietly to keep my knife from digging deeper into his skin. The area around the tip was mottled already as the silver burned him.

The word offering certainly caught my attention, especially when paired with the symbol I’d seen on the door. And at the crime scenes.

Then it clicked where I’d seen it before.

At the ceremony site when they’d opened the gates, that stupid upside-down seagull had been one of the sigils marked on the alley, one of the things that had called Belphegor and the red demon up to the surface.

These motherfuckers were kidnapping girls and using them as part of a demonic sacrifice.
