Chapter 11

Free from her prison, Kate faced her enemy, while staying connected to Angie. Her challenger appeared deceptively human. Wide blue eyes met hers, not black or red.

Curious.

Was this part of the test? Her energy depleted once the shield had opened, but she had other ways. Holding out her hand, she intensified his aura to discover the truth. His ability to hide served him well. His powers were strong. Hers were better. In the depths of the swirling colors, she found the truth. A shapeshifter demon. Something new. Either way, he needed to die fast.

Xavier begged her to hurry. Being trapped tortured him, but she couldn’t keep him knocked out and handle her own threat. Angie’s breathing had become labored. She wouldn’t last much longer without a healing.

Kate shut out every emotion, except one. Letting the inner anger fuel her speed and agility, she launched a full-scale attack. This poor idiot didn’t even see it coming. He lunged for her, and she crushed his nose with the palm of her hand. His arm barely missed her chin. She grabbed the same arm and snapped it in half. Following that, she stomped his knee cap, bending the leg backward. A satisfying snap echoed around them.

He wasn’t a total idiot. Using his ability to change his appearance, he transformed into a dead ringer for Angie. It bought him enough space to put some of his bones back together. She forced her mind to see him as a demon and began another attack. She flipped him over her shoulder and stomped his rib cage, hearing several cracks. Apparently, he could heal quickly. He stumbled away, then turned and lunged. She grabbed his head and flung him down. Too bad his neck didn’t break.

Angie’s heart slowed.

Enough of this.

Kate knocked the demon down once more and manifested a sword in her hand. It whistled through the air, and the shapeshifter’s head flew off. This type of demon didn’t flame up. Instead, it melted into a puddle of goo at her feet.

Gross.

She turned her face toward the sky. “We’ve beat your challengers. Return us home.”

“As you wish.” The ground shook and they were all knocked to the ground. As they recovered, the garden returned to normal. They’d made it back.

Angie groaned.

Xavier placed his hands over the wound. “I can’t heal her. You try, Kate.”

She dropped beside Angie and put all her focus on the wound, willing it to close. No response. She tried everything in her power, but nothing happened. Angie’s breathing became more erratic.

Xander held onto Xavier when he began to lose control. Kate tried to block his pain and panic, so she could find a solution.

I’m missing something. Cass’s words came back to her. Once you possess the power of the Mystic, many things will bow to your will.

“Angie.” Kate stroked her hair and bent down to whisper softly, “I think we’re being prevented from healing you until I master the last task. I guess time is of the essence. I need for you to hang on.
