Chapter Thirteen

S haren lay curled up in the bottom of the shower. She didn’t have a clue what to do. When she’d joined the Rebellion, she’d been so sure of herself. The other humans that were helping the cause had found ways to track where some of the demons crossed over. They went to any location that appeared on their radar and tried to help the demons. She’d been the first one to suggest actually going over and getting them, and she’d been one of the few that could do it.

Everyone had been ecstatic. They’d thought this would change everything. Now, what do I tell them? What do I do?

Turning off the shower, she lay in the two feet of warm water that had pooled in the tub. She felt like she was being ripped apart.

On the sink, her phone rang. She frowned at the unknown number, but went with her gut and answered.

“What’s cookin' good lookin'?” Her best friend Elaina’s voice swept over her, instantly bringing her comfort.

“I haven’t heard from you in over a month.”

Her friend’s tone changed to a more serious one. “That’s one of the problems with being on the run… not enough time to call the people I love.”

Sharen laughed, although the sound was tinged with sadness. “I miss you. I’m completely lost, and I don’t know what to do.”

“Tell me what’s happening. I only have a minute, but I’ll help, if I can.”

Sharen rushed through an abbreviated version of what had happened and held her breath.

“Wow! Well, shit, that is a problem. Humm… First things first. You need to calm down."

“Calm down?” She looked at the phone. Had she heard Elaina correctly? “Calm down about unleashing evil onto our world?”

Elaina laughed. “You forget that you can’t control what these demons do. You can do your best to only save the good ones, and you can try to teach them how to be human again, but then it’s up to them.”

She shook her head. “But—"

“Hon, just do the best you can. That’s all you can do.”

Sharen sat in silence, not knowing what else to say.

“How are your demons doing?” Elaina said, abruptly changing topics.

She swallowed hard, trying to switch tracks while her heart was on the floor. “Kade got mad at me and took off. Alec is acting like I’m made of glass. And Ryder? Well, like usual, he's pretending everything is fine.”

“So nothing has changed.”

Sharen smiled, a small smile. “Not much. I just wish they could… they could… I don’t know.”

“They can’t do anything other than what they’re doing, because they’re as lost as you are. They want to be tough demons, but not every situation can be fixed with super strength or speed. Trust me, my demons struggle with it too, but give them a break, I’m sure they’re trying.”

Sharen leaned against the back of the tub. “Why does everyone keep telling me that?”

Elaina laughed. “Well, I need to go, but take a deep breath, Sharen. The amazing thing about you is that you can find hope in even the darkest of situations.
