Chapter Five

The demon led them to an old warehouse facing the dark water. Kerilyn had often come to this area of the city on her hunts but she had never been inside this particular building.

Its walls stained with years of dirt and grime, the red brick structure stood several stories high. In the dim moonlight the entire setting was uncomfortably eerie. Kerilyn had no desire to go inside.

Touching the dagger on her hip, she forced herself forward. Sarah was in there. If it was the last thing she did, she’d make sure her niece survived the night.

The demon held the door open for them as they swept inside.

A large empty room unfolded before them. Weak lights failed to banish the shadows, but the high windows lining the top of the walls were large enough to let in the faint glow of the moon. It was enough to allow Kerilyn to see the room was filled with demons.

The creatures were the height of a man, though their longer arms and spindly legs gave them a misshapen appearance. But there was nothing human about their glowing red eyes or the pointed teeth that barely fit in their mouths. Most held weapons even though their claws alone were deadly enough. Kerilyn swallowed hard as she took in their numbers. There were far too many for her to fight.

In the center of the room sat Sarah. Kerilyn wanted to run to her but Arawn gripped her arm in warning. Slowly they approached the waiting party.

Kerilyn had never met the demon lord, but staring at the group she knew there was only one man he could possibly be.

The frightening king stood as tall as Arawn. Indeed, the resemblance between the two brothers was striking. Both had the same midnight hair and angelically beautiful faces. But whereas Arawn’s eyes were black, Abaddon’s were an unsettling dark red. The color of blood, Kerilyn realized with a shiver.

“Brother,” Abaddon greeted. “I wasn’t aware you’d be joining us tonight.”

“It’s a night for celebration,” Arawn replied. “You didn’t think I’d miss the biggest party in town?”

Abaddon smiled coolly, his gaze landing on Kerilyn. “You brought me my hunter, I see. Present?”

Ignoring the question, Arawn drawled, “Since when do you pick on lone hunters, Abaddon? And stealing children? This is a little overdramatic, even for you.”

“Her family greatly wounded me.”

“And they’re dead.”

“But not all.” Abaddon watched Kerilyn with cold eyes. “She drove a blade into my son’s heart.”

Arawn stiffened beside her. Kerilyn felt ill. She had? She hunted demons almost every night. She had no idea who she was killing most of the time. If they hunted humans, they were her enemy. Case closed. It was possible she’d come up against one of Abaddon’s sons, but she had no memory of the encounter.

“Did she?” Arawn murmured.

Would this change his mind? This meant she’d killed his nephew. It would be poetic justice for him to help kill her niece.

“Now you see why I am ‘picking on a lone hunter,’” Abaddon snapped. “Do not interfere.
