Unimaginable disturbances radiated outward from Tierra’s closed bedroom door. Her sister’s screams had quieted by the time Claire and Dru had arrived, but Claire felt in her very bones that life had changed significantly. She paused half a second to gather her fire, prepared to battle whatever lay beyond the barrier. She just prayed her sister wasn’t hurt.

Dru held his mighty sword in one hand and flung open the door with the other.

Claire gasped at what she saw.

White and black feathers flew through the air as Killian lunged and bounced off walls, trying to capture a small flying enemy that moved so fast Claire couldn’t make out the features. Tierra’s eyes were wide with shock, dancing back and forth as she followed the skirmish. Otherwise, she seemed okay, huddled beneath a forest green quilt that haphazardly covered her.

Dru lifted his sword to take down the enemy should it fly in their direction. “What the hell is that?”

The little pixie or fairy barreled headfirst into Killian’s chest, knocking him back against the wall. He quickly brought his hands together and sank to the floor. “Gotcha.”

The creature squirmed and fought against Death, but he refused to let go.

Tierra placed a frantic hand on her chest. “Oh. My. Goddess.”

Claire glanced between Killian and her sister, unsure if they were all still in danger. “What in the name of hell’s fire is it?”

Killian tucked whatever it was beneath his wing and struggled one-handed to get to his feet. He drew great breaths and jerked his chin upward toward Dru. “Grab that blanket.”

Dru reached for a soft ivory throw that had been draped across the bottom of the bed. He kept his sword out as he approached Killian and the unruly captive.

Death snorted. “Put that thing away, man, or you’re going to kill my daughter.”

Dru halted, and Claire’s mouth fell open. “Daughter?” she muttered.

What kind of monster had Tierra birthed? A demon child sired by Death? Worse, if this was the light-souled baby, what kind of hellish thing was Moira growing?

“Blanket, man,” Killian demanded.

Dru sheathed his sword and held out the blanket, looking as dazed and confused as Claire felt. She cast a quick glance toward her sister, who seemed to have lost her ability to speak or act.

Killian snatched the soft throw and tucked it beneath his wing. He fussed and struggled for a moment and then produced the sweetest looking cherub of a baby that Claire had ever seen. Killian had bundled her tightly, and she now stared at him with wide-eyed wonder.

With a dusting of dark red hair, pink cheeks, and a soft cooing sound coming from her cupid’s bow mouth, she couldn’t possibly be the wild thing that had threatened them all moments ago.

A proud papa’s grin nearly split Killian’s face, and his happiness filled the room. He strode close to the side of the bed where Tierra lay and held the bundle out to her. “Your princess, my gazelle. Isn’t she beautiful?”

Tierra choked out a sob and put a hand over her mouth.
