Alec tore another serpentine creature from his legs, not having the time to burn it before another attacked.

He hated hellions. Damned creatures of Hell would attack anything and everything. No loyalty at all. They could be set upon anyone, and at the moment, they had been tasked with emptying the workshop of all life.

Picadilly cut through what she could, sending halves and quarters of creatures skittering about the floor. She was covered in blood, bitten and scratched. Carma had fared better, but not by much. Her demon flesh was tougher than a soulless human, but it made the hellions only more determined. Labrynths flashed along their backs and tails, driving them with a force manned by someone else’s will.

Or, at least, that’s how Dorothea had explained it in between bouts of joyous laughter and annoyed howls of pain.

Alec had made it his personal mission to stay by her, to keep the hellions from digging into her flesh while she devised a way to get them out.

Another creature bit into his shoulder. Reaching around, he tore the strange dog-like thing from his back as claws raked their way past his spine.

Across the room, he heard the familiar hiss of Carma’s hellfire. It snuffed out as it had all the other times—a single labrynth in the far corner flaring to life, absorbing the power, then going quiet again.

“Carma, try something else!” Two hellions caught his legs and he tumbled to the ground, slamming his elbow against the hard stone and seeing sparks. By his hand, a labrynth burst, sending chunks of stone flying into his face and singeing the tips of his fingers.

A huge weight lifted from his back, the hot breath disappearing from his neck, and all in one swift instant before he was pulled to his feet. Carma stood before him, her hair equally red and silver, her face sharp bronze angles and curling lips that revealed pointed teeth. Her sapphire and gold eyes flashed as her clawed hands dug into his arm. “I am doing what I can.” She caught one of the rat-like sniffers as it flew through the air at her face, crushing it in her grip. “Dorothea is supposed to be neutralizing the problem.”

Picadilly scoffed, stumbling until she stood beside them, wrestling with a hairless, wrinkled, tiny creature of a man, something that looked shrunken and unholy, fangs snapping at her neck. It was no larger than her forearm, yet it battled her with the strength of an ox. Carma drove her claws into the hellion’s back, closed her fist, and pulled out its spine. It fell dead to the floor.

With a swift kick to the head of another patchwork creature of Hell, Picadilly regarded Carma coolly. “I had it.”

“Of course you did.” Carma wiped the blood on her hand across Picadilly’s shoulder. “Dorothea, we need to get out of here.”

Alec stepped back, pressing himself as close to the witch as he dared, shadowing her as she moved along the walls. Carma and Picadilly followed, though the hellions continued to battle on.
