Chapter Fourteen

“You and Pat go ahead. I’ll wait here for you,” Zoe said.

“No, you’re coming with me,” Damon said.

“Why?”

“Because there’s a problem.”

“I didn’t cause it.” Had she? All she’d done was ask to look up something in the Book of Spells. That was a very limited spell that shouldn’t have had any impact beyond the book itself. “Besides, a second ago you told me to forget about the funeral home.”

“That was before.”

“Before what?”

“Before we got a demon possession,” he said. “Come on!”

“Wait, why can’t Pat go with you?” Zoe said. “He knows Silas.”

“The demon wants to talk to you,” Damon said.

“What about Gram? I can’t leave her here alone,” Zoe said.

“Pat is here.”

“He’s not a Demon Hunter, is he?” she asked.

“No.”

“One vampire isn’t enough to protect Gram,” Zoe said.

“So we’ll get another one.” Damon opened the door to a slightly heavyset man wearing impeccably pressed gray trousers and a crisp designer white shirt. “Invite him in.”

“He’s a vampire, too?” she said.

Bruce nodded and smiled.

“Don’t worry about your grandmother. Pat and I will take good care of her,” Bruce said.

“Fine. Come in, but I still don’t understand why can’t I stay here,” Zoe said.

“Because your services are needed at the funeral home,” Damon said.

“I don’t like funeral homes,” she said. That was putting it mildly. Ever since her father’s funeral when she was very young, she’d had a thing about them. “They give me the creeps.”

“Too bad,” Damon said.

“You can’t compel me to go,” she said.

“A human’s life is at stake.”

“Maybe you’re lying to get me to the funeral home so you can torture me or something,” she said.

Damon responded by lifting her in his arms and moving with vamp speed the two blocks to the Evergreen Funeral Home. Zoe’s head was spinning when they arrived. He dumped her back on her feet, but she had to hang on to him a moment until she regained her balance.

“What if someone saw us?” she said.

“We moved too fast for human eyes to see us.”

Zoe fixed him with her best angry-witch stare. “Do not just grab me like that again. I do not appreciate being taken places against my will.” She looked around. They were in a hallway. “Where are we?”

“In the basement of the funeral home.” She belatedly realized that Nick and Daniella were standing farther down the hall.

“What’s going on?” Damon asked Nick.

Daniella answered. “It’s Phil. He’s our embalmer. Well, not mine, as I didn’t go into the family business but started my own cupcake business, as you know. Sorry I’m babbling. I do that when I get nervous.”

Zoe could sure relate, which was another reason for her to like Daniella.

“Anyway, Phil has been possessed by a demon,” Daniella said.

“I can’t just kill him like I did the cable guy,” Damon said. “If I do, then the human dies. The cable guy was not human. He was all demon. Possession is something else.”

“I tried to exorcise him but it isn’t a power that I have as a druid hybrid,” Daniella said. “His head actually spun around, which can’t be good for him.
