Chapter Eighteen

An aroma that was fast rising up my Top 10 Fucking Rank list seeped over me, and I looked up into a pair of familiar bloodshot eyes.

“Gorn, Durg, take them to the holding cell. I’ll fetch the butcher,” he said with a twisted smile.

Charlotte grimaced as she was pulled to her feet and I was dragged up beside her.

“Wait,” I said. “Spare the girl. You can do what you like with me.”

“Oh, we will. We will.” His face closed in on mine—far too close for my liking. I held back a gag as our eyes locked for a second. “But your touching words will not save your woman.”

I wobbled as I was spun around by the shoulders, then pushed forward by my guard. I caught a look that I could only interpret as ‘thanks for trying’ in Charlotte’s eyes before she screamed at her demon “Get your slimy hands off me!” and shrugged him away.

A plan for escape would have been good at that moment, either mine or Charlotte’s; any would have done. But I had nothing, and Charlotte had lost our last remaining weapon. I’d noticed the boss boy admiring it as he’d headed back in the direction of the door his lackey was now entering. What we needed was something to take its place, and quick. With our opponents reduced to a one-on-one situation, now was our best chance to make a run for it.

I scouted the room as we crossed it in the hope of gaining a flash of inspiration, and then it came to me.

Nudging Charlotte in the back, I whispered, “Hold your breath.”

Then, with one swift movement, I ducked from my captor, hightailed it for the pipe box, and with more effort than my human muscles were used to, ripped a section away from its bolts.

A loud hiss accompanied the cloud of steam that shot from its end as I aimed it at the demon who’d been too slow to catch me. His hands shot to his face, and he screamed in agony. And before he had time to retaliate, I yanked the pipe fully from its connection and whacked him around the head with it. He hit the deck hard, and I whirled around to check on Charlotte, but I needn’t have worried.

She had her man in an armlock with her neckerchief stuffed into his mouth. I took aim and smashed the pipe into his face. He crumpled in her arms, and she let him fall to the floor before wiping her hands on her pants as if his whole body had been smeared with the same pus that oozed from his face.

“Nice work,” she said. “Now what?”

“Now we get out of here before their mates return.”

She glanced at the fallen demons as one let out a groan. “We’ll never make it.”

“Yes, we will.” I kicked the demon’s head to keep him down on my way to the wall, and when I reached it, I yanked down the wall hanging. “Give me a hand,” I said, throwing it over the bodies.
