Chapter Nine

After a hot meal and another quick nap with the watchful Rebel on duty, Eva was as refreshed as one could be in her situation. She got to her feet, stretched, and gave a yawn. Rebel was already running circles around her legs. Apparently, he was ready to move on.

“Okay.” She laughed then scanned the horizon. There was nothing as far as she could see except a landscape filled with a few trees and sparse grass. “I don’t know which way to head.” She wondered about those gate thingies she’d heard the others talk about.

Rebel let out what sounded like a cross between a bark and a snort, and she looked down at him. He appeared to be trying to tell her something.

Bark.

Then he ran away to the east. He stopped and barked again.

“I’m pretty sure that means I’m supposed to follow.” Eva was becoming a quick study at hound speak. She moved toward the little beast and he waited, tail going a million miles an hour. She laughed. “You wag that thing any faster and you’re going to knock yourself over.”

Another bark, snort.

“Okay, okay. Lead the way.” Eva followed Rebel on an uneventful––thank the Maker––trek across a mostly grassy ground. When she’d left home, she had slipped on her favorite pair of high-heeled boots. Now she’d kill for a pair of tennis shoes. A tank top too because the two suns of Hell were a scorcher. After what felt like hours, Rebel finally stopped and began to bark at nothing.

“What is your problem, you crazy hound?” There was only air there but she stepped closer to the beastie. “Oh, I do sense something.” She reached out her hand, and her fingers went right through...

“Oh. Is this one of those gates?” Once her fingers seemed to disappear in mid-air, she sensed the shift in the atmosphere. Rebel barked again and ran circles around her ankles. It seemed to be his thing. She shook her head and wondered if all the chatter about hellhounds was a myth. If not for bearing witness earlier to his attack on the demon, she would believe the creatures to be no different than the dogs the humans kept as pets.

“I’m not sure, Rebel. Is it safe?” She chewed her bottom lip. Eva didn’t know much about these gates other than they were used for transportation. The hound sat and stared up at her with his reddish black eyes. But damn he was cute. The kind of cute only a mother could love.

“Okay.” What the hell else was she going to do? Eva hoped she was making the right choice. Sucking in a calming breath, she stepped into the area she sensed was distorted and everything went dark. Panic had her certain this was a mistake, but it was too late now. The air around her distorted and pinpoints of light flashed in her eyes. She lost all sense of direction and worried about the hound. Had he stepped in with her?

An eternity later, she was deposited on sand.
