Dark Flames (Blood Bound Book 6) Chapter 12
Chapter 12 Zachary released his death grip from Tiara’s wrist when the familiar walls of the castle garage appeared around them. He couldn’t risk looking at her, otherwise he’d grab her by the shoulders and start shaking so hard he’d give her whiplash. Instead, he pushed open the car door with so much force it broke away from its hinges. Storm arched an eyebrow in Zachary’s direction before walking around to Tiara’s side of the car and opening the door for her. Holding out his hand, Tiara took it and let him help her out. “Are you all right?” Storm asked. He was glad when she finally pulled the trench coat completely around her so Zachary would quit staring a jealous hole through him. Tiara nodded clutching at the edges of the coat and graced Storm with a warm smile. “I’m fine… nothing happened.” Storm gave her a curious expression when Zachary growled and she lifted her chin in defiance. “Well… it’s the truth,” Tiara insisted. Zachary got out of the car, gl

Chapter 13 “I found it!” Carley exclaimed. Tiara covered her mouth with both hands to keep from screaming and spun around to look at the ghost. “Sorry,” Carley said in a softer voice. “I keep forgetting that no one can hear me coming now.” Tiara shook her head, “Nothing to worry about,” she breathed. “Anyway,” Carley started up again remembering her excitement, “I found a spell in one of my books that will keep me safe from not only your necromancy, but any form of necromancy that we may run into. I also found a spell that will allow whoever you choose to see the ghosts you guys go to put down, or rescue… guess that depends on who’s controlling them. Tiara nodded and tried to smile but failed miserably. She went through all of that with Zachary when it could have been done an easier way? She hoped the gods were having fun laughing at her right now. Tilting her head thoughtfully, she realized this was a perfect opportunity to rant to someone that wouldn’t go

Chapter 14 “Uh oh,” Angelica said and opened the door further. “I know that look. You messed up didn’t you?” Zachary glared and stepped into the room. “I don’t know what I did. All I know is Tiara’s feelings were supposedly hurt and I don’t have a clue why.” Angelica shrugged, “Did you ask her?” “No,” Zachary growled. “I was just threatened with life-long haunting from Carley’s ghost if I even attempted to talk to Tiara tonight.” Angelica walked over to the bed and sat down moving her sketch pad so Zachary could have a seat. “So give me the rundown of what you do know.” Zachary opened his mouth then snapped it shut pressing his lips together. Without warning, he reached for Angelica’s temples and held on when she immediately started to struggle. He closed his eyes and let the whole mess pass between them, and then just as abruptly, let go. Within those couple seconds, he’d showed her everything that happened from the time Storm had put him in charge of the g

Chapter 15 They moved as one entity through the gate and purposely formed a circle with Tiara in the center. Shadows and things definitely thicker than shadows moved back and forth among the tombstones, stalking them. Chad felt cold sweat trickle down the side of his temple and resisted the urge to squirm. He had a feeling that any sign of weakness now would be a huge mistake. Trevor didn’t like the feeling of being watched and fought to keep the growl rising in his throat silent. Jason was still nervous but tried to swallow it as he put his hand on the hilt of the special blade Tiara had given him during the ride over. He was really beginning to regret going into work the day Black Crow gave him the death mark. He was human and it was very hard to wrap his mind around the fact that if a plane dropped out of the sky, he would be the only one left crawling from the rubble. But then again, what were the chances of that happening? One hundred percent at this rate. Guy and

Chapter 16 Zachary leaned to the side and watched the tombstone bust as it hit another one behind him. Flipping back around, he made a face at the demon and decided it was too ugly to live… not that it would have anyway. A ball of fire formed in his open hand and he threw it at the demon. His eyes widened when it crouched down on all four spider-like legs. It took off skittering sideways like some fast creepy-crawly contortionist reminding him of the thing that climbed out of the TV at the end of the movie “The Ring.” A serious wave of the wiggly-boos washed over him when he looked in the direction it scurried off to, noting several more of its clones. They were crawling over the tombstones and across the ground with blinding speed and Zachary repressed a shiver. Taking a second to let it all sink in, he realized Storm had dropped him off in the middle of the graveyard with no idea where Tiara was or how to get to her. “When in doubt, follow the monsters,” Zachary m

Chapter 17 Skitters and ghosts were closing in from all sides and for different reasons. Zachary kept Tiara close to him in an effort to protect her from the hoard of arachnid-like demons. The rest of the teams had spread out because of the size of the cemetery. However, with the number of demons surrounding them, that may not have been the best idea because this was the area that was starting to look like party central. “Are you all right?” Zachary asked trying to check Tiara for injuries and flambé several demons at the same time, which wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to do since he had yet to let go of her wrist. “I’m fine,” Tiara answered and pulled back on her wrist wanting to help him fight. When he refused to release her, she shrugged remembering she didn’t need her hands to use her necromancy… it was just instinct to want them free so she could defend herself. She noticed the souls trying to come closer to her but they were avoiding the Skitters that were

Chapter 18 Jason finished ripping the legs off of a Skitter that decided he would be the thing’s next meal. “Dummy, you’re lucky I don’t beat you with it,” he dropped the leg and turned toward the darkest side of the massive cemetery. Somehow, he knew exactly what direction Tiara was in. He looked down at the ring on his hand, which had started glowing bright like a miniature electric blue sun. Jason started running across the cemetery. He slid to a stop when two more Skitters suddenly dropped down in front of him, hissing and scurrying back and forth acting like they were about to attack. One of them suddenly ran at him and Jason held out his hand to grab at it when the creature stopped and backed away with a high pitched shriek. Jason watched as it lifted one of its appendages in an attempt to shield its eyes. The second Skitter was slowly moving away from him as well with a look of fear in its crimson eyes as it stared at his hand. Its lips pulled back showing two rows o

Chapter 19 Micah had shifted and was running full tilt through the cemetery trying to find Alicia. He was starting to understand Damon’s frustration with her always running off. The problem was he should have been used to it by now. Titus had also shifted and was running side by side with him and Boris was bringing up the rear. The three of them followed Alicia’s scent to a secluded area of the cemetery and slid to a stop on the damp earth. A skitter lay dead on the ground with its arms broken, belly torn open by clawed hands and the head laying at a very odd angle. Boris approached the creature and sniffed at it before backing away and sneezing violently. He tossed his head in the direction Alicia’s scent had gone and they took off after it. ***** Tabatha had been the last one out of the vehicle and she did a quick check of her 9mm to make sure the chamber was loaded before running into the cemetery. The rest of the pack had gone in after she told them

Chapter 21 Jason was running across the cemetery, following the lure of the ring Tiara had given him. He couldn’t explain exactly how, but the ring seemed to be leading him toward her. If he changed direction, the light of the ring would dim until he turned back in the right direction. Before long he could see tell-tale signs of Zachary’s work. One whole area of the cemetery was a smoldering expanse of… nothing. There were dips in the ground where trees had been burned right down to their roots and the places where grave markers had stood where nothing but small holes. The sight Tiara had given let him see the souls hovering over what would have been their graves. Some of them looked like small clouds of mist while others were full-bodied apparitions. They would turn their heads to look at him before looking back in the direction he was traveling. Jason stopped running for a moment to get some sense of direction when the soul of a little boy appeared in front of h

Chapter 20 Craven stood on the roof of a large mausoleum at the back edge of the cemetery watching the battle unfold from a distance. Night Hawk stood silently beside him with an impassive expression on his face. They had no plans to get involved with this battle… they were merely waiting for the outcome. There were too many demon hunters scattered throughout the graveyard and Craven had no wish to engage them at this time. The power inside the mausoleum shifted a bit and Craven looked down at the roof where he was standing. The master demon of this graveyard was inside, creating its hideous offspring by the droves. They had seen numerous ‘baby’ demons emerge from the building and run toward the main hub of battle. Craven really had no interest in the smaller demons. He was merely waiting to see which hunter was strong enough to kill the master. Once that happened he planned to move in and expand his territory with this cemetery. There were also more than a few abandoned ho
