“We need to get these cuts cleaned,” Kara says as we head back to the car.

Sid pats me on the shoulder, making me flinch. “Amazing, just amazing.”

“Holy mother of all shit!” Jax is shouting. “Did you see that? He was a damn Christmas tree back there.”

“Calm the hell down,” Connor says. “You’re giving me a migraine.”

“What the fuck was that?” Jax continues. “Toward the end his damn eyes were fucking glowing! That was some alien shit, man! Frackin’ Cylon alien shit!” He laughs at the sky.

Sid must really be happy, because he’s not saying anything to Jax about his language.

“You’re not helping,” Kara growls at Jax. She turns back to me. “You’re going to be fine. It’s just a few scrapes.”

I study the gashes on my arm. They’re still bleeding thick red streaks. “I don’t know. That was . . .” Insane. Terrifying. Fucking nuts.

Kara looks like she wants to say something, but she just swallows hard and looks into my eyes. Fear leaks out of her. Fear of me or for me, I can’t tell.

“It felt like a freight train rolling through my body,” I say. It wasn’t like it normally is when I trap a demon—not even a little bit. Something happened. Something took over. Inside me.

Sid stops ahead of us on the trail and turns to face us. “That was your power manifesting itself, Aidan. A stunning and glorifying sight. And we were all very privileged to see it.”

“He was fucking glowing,” Jax says again. The guy has a one-track mind.

“Was I really?” What does that even mean? How does someone glow?

“It was awesome, man!” Jax says. “Your skin at that tattoo thing on your arm went marbly and lit-up, and whatever you were writing burned into the ground as soon as you wrote it in the dirt. Then your eyes did this smolder thing for a second.” He looks at me all tense, like he’s mimicking my smolder. “Right after that you went limp.” He smiles as if I should be thrilled at what he’s describing.

I didn’t feel anything hot, didn’t see the words burn in. I didn’t feel anything but pain and the urgency to act. I said words I don’t know. That’s never happened before. I always know—that’s part of my weird thing. I always know. And now, suddenly, I acted without a clue. Like I was being guided.

I wipe my forehead with my hand, and my palm comes away wet with blood.

“I have a feeling that this is just the beginning,” Sid says. “We’re all in for quite a ride.”
