“Wakey, wakey, Lana.”

The smack across her face finished what the voice had started. She blinked heavily a few times then stared around. Well, she may not know the exact location but she recognised a lab when she saw one.

Her arms were secured right above her elbows and her legs at the ankles. The stainless steel table beneath her wasn’t truly cold but she knew it should be.

Hans stepped close and smacked her again, rocking her head back. The well-recognised metallic taste of blood filled her mouth.

“You won’t get away with this,” she said.

“You never learn, do you, little girl? We own you.” He picked up her right wrist and yanked off the leather covering. “And we have what we need. You will bring him to us and we will kill both of you before his power can manifest.”

“You think you’re so smart. It won’t work. You will not be successful. So what, I have a mark on my wrist. Do you even know what it means?”

“He may not, my dear. But I do.”

Erlik stepped from the shadows and walked across the room. For the first time in her life, Lana didn’t feel fear when she looked at him. Nope. The emotion coursing through her was straight up anger.

He stood at her other side and reached out with one hand to drag it along her cheek. She couldn’t move her head because of the band anchoring it down, but she curled her lip in disgust.

“You’re going to lose. The prophecy will come true.”

His grin was pure evil. “Really? You have to sacrifice yourself for that to happen. You, ready to die? I doubt it. Now, I am going to keep you hidden for a while and wait for the Cold Moon. When it passes and your precious Lian is dead, the prophecy will be no more. The Guardians won’t appear and we can again have the control we so rightly deserve.”

She spat at him. “You’ll get what you deserve all right. But it won’t turn out the way you want it.”

He hit her, much harder than Hans had, and tears sprung to her eyes. Then he had a knife in his hand and he drew a line along her bared shoulder. She shuddered when his forked tongue sneaked out to lick it up.

“Your blood is so nourishing. I could keep you alive for years and just allow myself to indulge in it.”

“Go to Hell,” she snapped, trying not to throw up with revulsion.

“I don’t think so, Lana. You see, I’m about to bring Hell to Earth.”
