Chapter Ten

Lucas threw the car into gear, then stomped on the gas, causing the car to jolt forward.

They hit the demons head on. The car bounded and jerked over their bodies. They then sped across the clearing and up the dirt road.

Ava exhaled, relieved to be on the road. Turning to Lucas, she said, “That was close, they—”

Glass sprayed over Ava’s face as a hand grabbed at her through the broken windshield. She felt the car swerve while Lucas tried to protect her from the demon’s grasp.

Throwing up her bloody hand, she extended her barrier of water, propelling the demon out of the window. “He’s still on the roof, Lucas.”

“Just hang on.” Lucas slammed on the brakes and turned the wheel. The car screeched in protest as the vehicle whirled around in the road. The demon catapulted down the front of the car as his claws scraped into the hood. He managed to stop his tumble and swiveled to face them.

Lucas slammed the car back into gear. “Ava, use a sphere to get him off the hood.” Racing down the road cold wet air engulfed the interior of the car as Ava tried to conjure a sphere.

She focused on her target, but hesitated when the demon began to speak. “He will have you! You can’t hide from him. No matter where you go, we will find you.”

“Ava, throw it now!” Lucas white-knuckled the steering wheel as his eyes narrowed on the demon.

Regaining her focus, she sent the sphere soaring through the air. The demon caught the sphere in the face, causing him to lose his grip. The car heaved over the demon’s body then continued to speed down the road.

Taking a deep breath, Ava turned to look at Lucas.

“Ava, you have blood on the side of your face.” Lucas reached over with a free hand.

“Do I?” She ran her hand over her face, feeling something sharp just inside her hairline. “I think I have a piece of glass in my scalp,” she said, taking a sharp intake of breath as she prodded at the wound.

“Try not to touch it. We should be there soon,” he said, turning his attention back to the road.

“Be where, exactly?” She wiped the blood from her hand onto her shirt.

“My home. We should be safe there, while we formulate a plan to get your sisters back,” he said, shifting the car into a higher gear.

She tried to smile, though the act made her wound burn. “Lake Placid it is, then.”
