CHAPTER ELEVEN

I moved closer to Tad.

“I’m not sure what’s going on, but there’s something in this basement. It looks like a giant spider, and it’s over in that corner. There are three women here, but they’re trapped in the basement with whatever that thing is. William is the one running around upstairs, causing havoc with the customers. He’ll come down partway on the stairs but he stops, and the reason he stops is because these women want to get their hands on him. My guess is that they’re the spirits of three women whose corpses he defiled.”

Tad grimaced. “Fucking perv. What do you think the spider creature is?” He shivered, looking around. “I wish I could see it.”

I was staring at the thing even as he spoke. “I don’t think you want that. It’s creeping along that wall, watching us.”

I felt dizzy. The energy from the creature was growing and it was trying to pull me in—to drive me into panic. It also had feelers, and was waving at me. I backed up a step. Crap, was it an energy leech? The moment I thought about it, I could feel it trying to overwhelm me. I raised my wards the way Rowan had taught me and focused all my strength into giving it a nasty slap.

The shadow spider recoiled, then rose up, hissing.

“What the hell?” Tad looked around frantically. “I just heard something! What’s going on?”

“I just whacked it on the nose,” I said, fixing my gaze on the creature.

“Aren’t you afraid?” He looked ready to drop the camera and race up the stairs.

“I’m petrified, but Rowan’s been teaching me to work through fear. It’s not easy, but she told me I’d need it someday, and it looks like today’s that day.” I backed away toward a table that held six bottles of wine. As I set my magic kit on the table, one of the bottles suddenly shot through the air at me, hitting me in the shoulder so hard that it knocked me to the floor.

“Damn it!” I sat there, stunned for a second.

“Look out!” Tad launched himself forward, dropping the camera as he leapt toward me. At the same time, a second bottle came sailing my way. Tad landed on top of me, rolling me sideways at the same time that the bottle hit the floor, inches away from my head. If Tad hadn’t knocked me sideways, I’d have a split skull.

I staggered to my feet as Tad righted himself. A third bottle came whistling my way. Apparently, I was the main target. “I need to get something out of my bag. Can you cover me?” There were a lot more bottles of wine in the cellar than the three remaining on the table.

Crash. The third bottle smashed into my leg and I yelped.

Tad grabbed a packing crate lid and jumped in front of me, holding it up like a shield. As the fourth bottle came sailing toward me, he managed to deflect it. I took the opportunity to open my magical bag and rifle through it.
