CHAPTER 4

The creature smelled like rotten fish and other, less pleasant things. I shoved at its broad, matted chest as hard as I could and turned my head from side to side to avoid the huge, snapping teeth.

Pain sluiced through me as the thing’s claws scraped down my shoulder. I kicked hard, sending power into my flailing limbs, in an attempt to shove the thousand pound monster off my body.

Need help, my love?

I jammed my hand under the creature’s jaw and sent full power into it, shattering the bone beneath my fingers and sending bits of tooth flying.

I closed my eyes and turned my head, but I was too close and felt my skin being pierced by flying molars none-the-less. I’ve got this under control, Dialle.

His chuckle in my mind made me growl. The massive, white teddy bear lying across my legs was already healing his jaw, but his beady, black eyes were filled with surprise as his massive paw felt around in his mouth looking the missing enamel.

I dragged my legs out from under the snow monster and ducked as another tire-sized paw swiped toward my head.

I’d coiled power in my fingers to de-tooth the slightly smaller female stomping toward me across the blood spattered snow, when a wall of white spun past me with an elf on each shoulder. The elves worked their pliers like pros, extracting teeth at a mind boggling rate and flinging them over their shoulders into the snow mounds surrounding the ridge.

I ducked a bloody canine tooth that was as long as my middle finger and groaned as the female took advantage of my distraction to pick me up and hold me ten feet in the air over her head. She roared, sending putrid breath in a gust into my face, her massive paws squeezing the air out of my lungs.

I blinked, struggling to breathe, and tried to gather power as stars burst before my eyes. My devil came out in a big way and I growled back at the female, causing her to blink confused blue eyes at me.

My hand shot out and I blasted her straight in the mouth. The jaw full of teeth exploded into dust around my fingers. I followed the blast with a power induced kick to her chest and she let go.

I flew backward, smacking into another snow monster. Looking down, I saw that the thing had Bob the elf cornered against a massive tree and the tiny misogynist was holding it off with his pliers and not much else.

I sent a power arrow into the back of the monster’s head and blood and teeth shot toward Bob in a white and red spray. The elf swiped a gnarly hand down his pug face and leered up at me. “Thanks, sexy.”

“You’re welcome, shorty.” I cast my gaze around the ledge, seeing that the elves and Dialle had things under control. A blur of color caught my peripheral vision and I turned to see the back end of the Grinch disappearing into the mouth of his cave.
