CHAPTER TWELVE: DECISIONS, DECISIONS

I follow Rage back towards the bar. I can feel a warm glow in my stomach, one that doesn’t come from the effects of the Coy. My instincts were right; I don’t need to fear this demon. He’s my grandfather, Silver’s father. That explains why his eyes look so familiar.

They are the same color as my father’s, but it’s more than that. They have the same ferocious light: the same passion that says the man behind them will do anything to protect those he loves.

Rage opens the bar door and theatrically moves aside and gestures for me to enter. The bartender’s eyebrows shoot up when she sees me enter.

“Wow, I thought you were a goner,” she says.

It seems subtlety isn’t her strong point.

“Let’s just say she has friends in high places,” Rage comments to the bartender as he comes in behind me.

I can’t help but laugh when, at the sound of his voice, pretty much everyone in the bar ups and leaves. The dart-playing demons leave mid-game, arguing between themselves as to who would have won the game.

The only patron to remain is the girl with the orange balls. She continues to juggle, unaware of anyone around her. I wonder what her story is, but I have enough of my own drama going on without inviting in anyone else’s.

“I hope you’re going to be spending well, Rage.” The bartender grins. “You know, seeing as you just cleared my bar.”

“Always.” He winks at her.

“Bring us over a Black and a Courage.”

He points towards a small table tucked away in the back of the bar. The bartender hurries over with our drinks.

Rage smiles and pushes the bright pink one towards me. I drink without hesitation. The drink is kind of sweet, but packs a kick, and I feel my head spin slightly. It feels nice, but I know I should focus.

“So, what have you heard about me, Summit?” Rage asks.

The drinks loosen my tongue and I find myself blurting out the truth.

“That you are the most feared demon in the Angel world.”

Rage nods once. “That’s probably fair, but I think you know you have nothing to fear from me, Winnie. I don’t put up with other people’s crap, and like your father, family is important to me, and I would burn the whole world before I let anything happen to someone I care about.”

I smile. “I’ve heard a lot about my mother’s side of the family, but the angel world doesn’t seem so keen on my father’s side.”

I cringe, hoping I haven’t gone too far. Rage laughs a hearty laugh.

“Well, that figures. It sounds crazy, me being a demon and your mother’s side of the family being all angels. But your grandfather, on your mom’s side, Marcus, he was my best friend. There’s nothing I wouldn’t have done for him or his family, and I know he would have said the same about me.”

I let that sink in for a moment as our empty drinks are replaced with full ones.
