CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

“Bite the inside of your cheek,” Sabrina said.

Oops. Blood magic did require blood. I hadn’t done much of it, so I forgot. After all, I don’t like pain. I bit the inside of my cheek and tasted blood.

The Dark One reached for us.

Sabrina pulled the power from me and hurled it, blasting the Dark One across the junkyard.

“Wow,” Sabrina said. “That felt good.”

“My power is stronger than yours,” I said.

“Don’t be a douche,” she said. She pulled more power from me and blasted the other Dark One away from the circle.

Lakesha and Michael hurried to a forklift.

I kept biting the inside of my cheek to keep the blood flowing.

Sabrina blasted one Dark One with her left hand, and the other with her right hand.

“This is fun,” she said. “And it doesn’t even hurt.”

“Speak for yourself,” I said.

“I just did.” She blasted them over and over.

The forklift rumbled to life and Michael speared a car from one of the stacks. The lift beeped in a steady rhythm as he put it in reverse. He shifted to forward and the beeping stopped. He loaded the first car into the crusher.

It was a good sized machine, so it would hold four cars easily.

Sabrina blasted away at the Dark Ones.

Michael loaded another car into the crusher.

Rinse and repeat twice more and my cheek throbbed with pain while Sabrina laughed with exuberance as she took shots at the Dark Ones. Each time she hit them, they screeched like pterodactyls in heat, and sailed backward a good fifty feet. And each time they instantly came at us again.

The forklift beeped as Michael backed it away from the crusher. He shut it off, and hopped to the ground.

Lakesha climbed down a lot slower, but she joined him in front of the machine. Sabrina and I maneuvered our way over to them.

I kept biting my cheek, and Sabrina kept throwing energy blasts. “I could do this all night,” she said.

“Not a good plan,” I said.

“Shut up and bite yourself.”

Lakesha put a hand on Michael’s shoulder. “Are you sure you understand what to do?”

He nodded. “I do.”

Before I could ask what that was, Lakesha twisted her forearms forward. She’d drawn another triangle on her other arm. Regina shot from her arms and dove into Michael.

“You’re doing the right thing,” he said.

“It doesn’t feel like it,” Lakesha said.

“She’s been in a loop for more than thirty-five years. She’s ready for the pain to stop.”

“I know.”

“It’s what she wants,” Michael said.

“I know,” Lakesha said again. “And at least she got to say goodbye to Demetrius.”

“I’ve got this,” he said and gave her a hug.

She embraced him back. “I know you do.”

And I realized the hug and final exchange wasn’t between Lakesha and Michael, but between her and Regina.

Lakesha stepped away and pulled out her cellphone. She hit a button, waited, then said, “Open the gates.”

Michael pointed to the side of the machine. “Sabrina, Brett, get over there. And be ready to hit the green button to crush the cars.”

Sabrina took
