Chapter Fourteen

“There’s something wrong with Charisse.”

Nate was already running before Surly Dave’s words fully penetrated his consciousness. The crowbar he’d been using to pry away the panelling of a section of wall on the third floor still gripped in his hand. Thank the Sands and last night’s storm he’d been working inside this morning. He hit the stairs at Mach two, not caring he’d long left Dave behind. He needed…. had, to get to Cyd.

He was barely aware of Trevor and Colin parting to let him through, his pace slowing as Charisse came into view. She was seated about half-way up the staircase, between the ground and first floor, all her focus on sanding one of the bannister spindles.

At first glance nothing appeared out of the norm, Cyd was wearing black shorts, smeared with dust, an olive green V-necked t-shirt and bright red sneakers on her feet. Her hair was back in a bouncy pony-tail, swaying gently as she moved.

He glanced back at Trevor and Colin. Had he got it wrong? Was this some silly trick? No, the brothers looked genuinely concerned, Colin actually wringing his hands in worry.

Moving at a steady pace so as not to surprise her, Nate knelt on the staircase just below her. He yanked down the bandanna he’d been using to shield his nose and mouth. “Cyd?” He frowned. Damn, her colouring was weird. She was ghostly pale except for two bright spots of colour high on her cheeks as if she was running a fever. There was perspiration on her forehead and her breathing was too fast and slightly ragged. “Cyd?” He tried calling her name again. But all her attention was locked on the spindle she was sanding.

That was when he saw the blood dripping down the spindle, the piece of sandpaper she’d been using had rubbed away long ago. It was like she was sleep walking or caught in a fugue state. What the fuck?

He was tempted to grab her but something made him hesitate. He caught a sound, a low mutter and realised her lips were moving. What was she saying? He leaned in closer to hear her whisper ‘I don’t belong to you’ over and over again.

He caught a hint of movement just below her heart. Shit, that invisible to everyone but him black entity that all but encased her psyche was going crackerjack-box crazy. It had two rigid tentacles encircled around her waist and even as he watched a third came into view, sliding up between her breasts, headed in the direction of her throat. Without pausing to consider the ramifications, he enclosed his large hand around her slender throat a split second before the tentacle settled into place.

It appeared to flinch for a moment as it came into contact with his flesh before tightening abruptly. Nate resisted, flexing his hand outwards, no way was he letting this thing hurt Cyd. After a few seconds the entity seemed to realise squeezing was futile. It changed tactics, sending sharp, teeth-clenching pulses of electricity down its length.
