Chapter 16

After what seemed like hours, but maybe it was minutes, I heard people yelling and footsteps stomping.

I recognized them. It was the cavalry.

“Bo, you need to get back here.” Professor Soto’s angry voice made me smile.

“Try and stop me.” Bo filled the doorway, and the panic in his eyes faded away. “Raven…” He laughed. “She’s fine.”

Rhys, Xavier, and Dante crowded around him.

Aaooooo

Xavier’s howl chased the remaining fear off my spine.

“Boys, do you mind?” Professor Soto pushed through the massive shoulders. She was only slightly shorter than they were, and her red robe matched her fuming face. “Raven, I need you to shift. I can’t get down to examine the creature.”

Pushing back my embarrassment, I shifted and avoided looking at the male testosterone staring down at me. But I didn’t care. My hands shaking, I quickly put on my underwear and bra.

After I finished putting on my skirt and buttoning my shirt, Bo clasped my shaking hand.

Blood stained the stairs. Some of it was the creature’s and some was Lucien’s.

Professor Soto knelt next to the dead creature. “This isn’t a doppelgänger. This was a demon, a shapeshifter.”

The guys all fanned out behind Professor Soto.

Rhys frowned. “Is he dead? God, he stinks.”

Xavier sniffed. “Yeah, he’s dead, and I swear his soul’s rotting.”

Professor Soto stood. “That’s because it is.”

“What are we going to do with the body?” Dante asked.

“We need to use it.”

I didn’t like the sound of her voice, and I squeezed Bo’s hand. “Excuse me?”

“I know how that sounds.” Professor Soto put her long blonde hair into a messy ponytail. “His blood will glow when we get close to the magical gateway.”

Rhys frowned. “Didn’t you find it last time?”

“We didn’t have the power to close it, because the spell controlling this magical gateway would drain our power. I believe Ryker has attached a draining spell to this gateway. If we try and close it, we’ll lose our power, and we might not get it back.”

Rhys frowned. “Are you sure? It could be an illusion spell, making you think you’ll lose your power.”

“True,” Professor Soto said. “But unfortunately, we don’t have much choice. We’re not even sure of the doorway, because this gateway is filled with dark magic.”

Dante knelt down and studied the corpse. “You need dead man’s blood, don’t you?”

“Yes, we do. Anton surmised that after the other creature disappeared and we couldn’t track it.”

Rhys wrinkled his nose. “How do we close the gateway with blood?”

“I’ll show you.” Professor Soto headed down the stairs. “First, I need two of you to guard the body.”

A jolt of something sinister shot through me, kinking my neck and shoulders. “You mean Ryker might try to send someone to get the body?”

“I suspect so. We need to work fast before it’s too late. Raven, you need to bring the sword.”

Bo reached past me. “No, I’ll carry it.”

“No,” Professor Soto said sharply. “It has to be Raven.”

Bo gritted his teeth. “Why? That could put her in danger.”

“Out of all of you, she’s the one who senses the evil and danger.
