Chapter Eighteen

“So, Hannah, the other way you win, is you make sure you have a backup plan,” I stated slowly and clearly. “Pick one of your assholes,” I ordered, and she frowned at me, then shrugged.

“Steve,” she said, nodding to the man she’d sent to get the guns.

“Say goodbye, Steve, and remember… she picked you.” I glared at him and activated ‘Incinerate’. The mana flooded out of me, pouring into him as his chest erupted in flames, clothes burning, hair blackening, and orifices leaking steam. His corpse crashed to the floor, not even a scream escaping him, and at the same time, Jack struck.

My automata leapt from the darkness, teeth flashing in the reflected candlelight, and bit down hard on Hannah’s outstretched arm. The sound of the bone crunching filled the air for a split second before his teeth met, and the hand, still holding Keith’s gun, fell to the floor, severed.

Both men froze, fear on their faces, as Hannah staggered back, shoved aside by Jack as he raced for me. I yanked both hands up as high as I could, and his teeth sank into the wood below them, biting and ripping.

The wood was oak, ancient and well-seasoned, but against jaws made of bronze that could cut through bone with ease, it didn’t last long. Hannah collapsed into her other goon’s arms, and was dragged free of the room as I threw myself sideways, tilting the chair over and falling to the floor.

Martin yanked a pistol out of his pocket, the hammer catching on the thin material and snagging long enough that by the time he managed to fire, Jack was moving again. He’d freed my right hand, and then dove at the asshole. The bullet Martin had intended for me was intercepted, ricocheting off into the darkness to thud into something, and then Jack hit him, a menacing growl reverberating through him as he sank his teeth into Martin’s most prized possession and froze.

I managed to shift the chair enough for my freed arm to reach the gun that Hannah had dropped, prying it from her severed hand before pointing it at the still-open doorway. Hannah’s screams receded down the hall as she was dragged away by her friend. I changed my aim to Martin, who had also frozen and was whimpering, as red started to stain the crotch of his jeans, all around Jack’s muzzle.

“Now, Martin,” I said into the sudden ringing silence of the room. “This is what’s going to happen. You’re going to free me, very carefully, and you’re going to tell me where the fairy is. If anything happens to me, Jack there is going to bite down. You see the gleam of metal on him?” He nodded slightly, still whimpering. “That’s because he’s not a dog. He’s a… robot… or near enough. That means you shooting him is only going to piss him off. The only, and I mean only, way you live through this, is to make damn sure I do. His orders are to literally tear you apart.
