The Power Grows Megan flipped the tv on. She didn’t know that she was being watched. She didn’t know that demons had begun to build different factions. All vying to put their leader to be in power. But there was one thing they needed, and it was that stupid hand carved box. The key was hidden inside the box. Jacob stood back and watched a demon try and enter a house but was met with a storybook demise. So, the house was warded against them. No matter. He would break through, and he would use Megan against Sage. Jacob knew that Megan would her greatest weakness and he studied Megan to figure out the best way to get her. He didn’t stay long before he zapped himself across town in time to watch one of his demons trash a random house looking for that box.“You idiot. It’s not here. Go find her house your stupid half-wit.” Growled Jacob.“Declared Jacob as he backhanded the weasel of a demon that had found a home inside some old man. “Yes, master.” Grunted the man as he disappeared.“Da
Hot or Cold One month laterJustin had walked into the police department in hopes of catching Thomas at his desk filling out the daily reports. They had worked a few cases together and seemed to be getting along. Thomas was hard to read most of the time so Justin made sure he learned as much as he could as they made any head way in any cold cases.The best part they had solved some cold cases together as a team as it should be. Justin was happy he could keep his eyes on Thomas. He was a good cop, and he didn’t want anyone to say different. He had begun to look up to him as another father figure since his real father had been in the limelight but not in his life.Justin had had some major migraines lately and thought they were because of the heavy workload they had mixed with some sleepless nights. To make matters worse he had been having crazy nightmares that woke him up. He would get out of bed drenched in a cold sweat feeling like he was missing something. Even worse was that he ofte
Chapter Twenty Eight Security Breach Sage had woken up after that crazy dream like nothing strange had happened. Jared didn’t say a word either. But she knew she had to get the day started. She finished her Ju-Jitsu class early and went straight into the locker room. Things seemed to be at the normal everyday pace of life, and she was really beginning to like that. She quickly changed into a little black dress that she had fallen in love with a few weeks ago. She knew that Jared would be working at the house and she needed his help getting things ready.Sage came in the house slamming doors and tossing her stuff onto the couch as she raced back toward her room so she could get ready. She wasn’t much for dressing up, but the woman inside her told her it was something she should go for it. Sliding the black dress over her head, Sage enjoy the feeling of power over people. Sage didn’t take much time with her hair because it was in soft waves around her shoulders. When it had come time
Chapter Twenty Nine Enter the DevilMary stood in the ER waiting room watching nurses and doctors run around tending to the many patients. She knew she had to find Megan today so she could get closer to her without arousing suspicion. Mary walked over to the desk where everything was kept. She scanned the desk for the black folder where all the schedules where kept. She slowly flipped through the pages searching for the PCU floor. When Mary glanced at the schedule, she became annoyed when she found Megan’s name, and there was no scheduled time for her. “Damn it,” she thought. “Well, maybe I can find something to keep my mind occupied.” She whispered. Scanning the busy room Mary focused her attention on thirty-year-old women who brought her kid with an obvious compound fracture to his arm. Mary could smell it on the boy even from the nurse’s station. The kid was pale, and he was way too thin for Mary’s taste. “Beating your kid, huh?” Mary muttered as she walked over to the bay whe
Awaken the Beast Sage had to see what Jared was up to because. He had been disappearing lately and that made Sage nervous. They both had the run it with him being possessed and she knew that she wouldn’t survive another attack right now. She knew the fight at the bar kicked her ass and she knew Jared was going to be pissed once he found out, but something told her that he already knew. Sage was having trouble finding Jared. She wondered around the house when she had caught him outside on his phone. She could hear his voice as he was becoming pissed by the second. Watching him as he hung up the phone and storm down the back path that leads into the woods. She could hear his mumbling as he disappeared into the shadows. She had wandered back toward the house in search of AJ. “What is going on with him AJ?” Questioned Sage. Sage had to control her mind. Her thoughts ran away with her. Is Jared trying something that would work against them? She couldn’t think like that, but she couldn
Chapter Thirty One Shadow of Death Sage looked around. There was a blanket laying across her lap and there was a glass of something sitting on the table. She was sure the ice had melted which would have made her drink watery. It had left her cold and shaking. She knew that those words meant something, and it wasn’t good. Jared hadn’t stayed the night, and she could feel that she could lose her shit at any minute. Instead, she snatched the whiskey bottle of her nightstand and gulped it down. Sage sat in her bed shaking. “What the hell was that?” She thought to herself looking at the shadows that had crept into her room as she slept alone. Unsure what to do she got up and began wandering around her big almost empty house. She walked past pictures that hung on the wall for years. She knew if she had taken any of them down there would be faded marks on the wall, but she liked them just like they were. She wandered around her house in search of something that she couldn’t put her fing
Chapter Thirty Two Growing Flames Sage had needed a night out. Jared had things to do that night and she wanted to blow off some steam, so she had climbed into her tiny Fiat. Making it roar to life, it wasn’t long before she pulled up to Abela’s house, it was almost dark. All her lights were out but Sage knew that she was in the garage working out. Sage desperately needed to vent some. They had met at college and had been fast friends ever since. Even after one went into the FBI and the other one was a known hacker they still had stayed in touch. Abela laughed herself silly when she had gotten caught. But when Sage had got the job at Homeland Security Abela came over to talk more, and Sage understood why. Sage wasn’t prepared for what happened when she had knocked on the door, and it opened on its own.Abela was a witch too. Sage watched as she was sparring with some tall bronzed god with soul-searing green eyes. Sage had no idea who he was, but she figured out that he was one o
Chapter Thirty ThreeDark Intentions Sage chewed on her lip on her drive toward Megan’s house. She had walked up the brick path. It wasn’t but a second before she answered the door.“What’s wrong?” Megan asked startled by the look on Sage’s face. “I have a big problem.” Sage answered chewing her lip. “Really? Ok then explain.” Megan had stepped aside so Sage could come in. That is when Sage had gone into the story of how Catlin had found her and she had made quick work of her or, so she had thought. “What did she look like?” Asked Megan.“She was petite with fine features, but her eyes seemed closer together.” Sage answered. Megan wasn’t sure if she should have called the others. But she listened for a few minutes until she had stopped her. “I think the others should hear this,” Megan said as she walked into the room.It wasn’t long till a knock was at the door. The first person to show up was Jared. He had a bruise under his eye and a split lip. When Sage had looked at h
Chapter Forty End Games Jared remembered the first time he had met Sage. She had pulled up in her 2000 blue jeep. Her hair was piled on top of her head, and she had her sunglasses on. She was dressed in loose workout clothes, and she looked tired. He had thought she was like every other woman that had rolled into his shooting range, but he was wrong.She had weaved her way through the store during the major sale he was having. Anything for Mommy’s and Daddy’s to blow more money and steam. He had watched her out of the corner of his eye. She was eyeing the 1911, 9mm, for a few minutes, but when she saw the jet-black Beretta, her eyes lit up. That’s when he knew there was not going to be anything pink and too girlie for this woman. When Sage walked around the store, he noticed there was a light about her, and he watched a few other guys check her out as well. “Hey there, darling. My name is Charles. What brings you here? Does your Daddy want you to buy you a gun?” Said Charlie.Smirk
Chapter Thirty NineTwin Flames Sage had found Jared in his den working on his computer. His hair was still wet from his shower. His glasses perched on his nose made her smile. He reminded her of one of her teachers from the school that everyone had a crush on. “What are you doing their big boy?” Jared looked up and saw his small beautiful woman that had been his best friend for the last few years who had no idea of the power she wields against everyone. He had to try and kept this feelings to himself because she never expressed any interest in him but if that ever changed, he would be ready.“I am reading. I guess you can say I am learning about you and your family history.” Sage wandered over to stand in front of him. She was dressed in a white button-down shirt with skinny jeans that had seen better days. With flushed red cheek she stopped in front of him and grabbed his hand. Pulling him closer she looked into his eyes. “I need a favor from you.” Jared jumped out of the cha
Chapter Thirty EightDark Lovers Justin had been having some major migraines lately. He found himself standing by the window rubbing his temple. So many things have happened lately, and he really didn’t know what to make of it. His partner had always been a witch, and then he finds out that Megan was one as well. What really blows him away as they both had killed people without a thought while using magic. Bad people but they still died. Justin couldn’t shake the feeling that it was only going to get worse.Growing up he had his mother and she had taught him that he should follow the law and there wasn’t really any room for anything else. She told him that there were rules and if you are caught breaking them then you must pay. He took his time walking toward the breakroom to get a cup of crappy coffee. He had added some milk to get rid of the burnt flavor. Childhood memories began to fill his head as he picked up the plastic spoon to stir it, but for some reason, he had gotten sidetr
Chapter Thirty Seven Sisterly Bonds Catlin had finally found her. It was all because their sperm donor father had given her part of their power back. Well, her power and that pissed Catlin off. It was all hers and no one else. She was going to get that box back and figure out how to get that piece out and take back all of her power. In that box, there was a powerful spell that would take everything from Sage or her and send it to the only one that was alive. Since she couldn’t stand being at half power Catlin knew what she would have to do. She should feel something for the precious Sage, but the only thing that she felt was disgust. “Ha, Sister,” she thought. That was rich. That bond would serve Catlin well when it came time to killing her. Catlin remembered that night when she was taken. Her mother had come in to kiss her good night. She had been asleep for a while when she had heard a faint whisper. It woke her up and she followed the faint sounds that led her out of her window
Chapter Thirty Six Unwound Destany Megan stood outside of the ER department with dried tears on her cheeks waiting for Thomas. There had been another dead body, and this time it was someone from Megan’s past. David had been in the navy and was known around the hospital as Dr. Struggles. He was one of the doctors that had been on the oldest destroyers. He had a way doing things, and if you didn’t follow them to the letter, he would get bent out of shape. Many people would describe him as Dr. Doolittle from the original movie. When Megan had first met him, he had made her feel stupid. She had learned that was his nature, and he never meant any harm by it. When she had the chance to work with him, she jumped at it. He taught her something new every day and Megan liked it that way. Soon Megan had begun having a meeting that would show what the Dr was showing her and how it would apply to the everyday.David Struggles was a DO who worked in the Heart tower for the last three years. He w
Chapter Thirty Five Time Warp Again Sage pulled up to Abela’s house and it was almost dark. All the lights were out but Sage knew that she was in the garage working out. What Sage needed was to vent some. Sage wasn’t prepared for what happened when she had knocked on the door, and it opened on its own.Abela was sparring with some tall bronzed god with soul-searing green eyes. She watched as her friend knocked the guy out cold or, so she thought. “Damn girl. Is he alright?” Sage felt strange as the words left her mouth. She felt like she had said that to her friend already many days before. Giggling Abela side stepped just enough to miss the ax kick that the bronze god threw from a prone position and when he missed he couldn’t help but laugh too. Sage watched as the guy smiled as he jumped to his feet and gave her friend a hug. Sage knew that no man could resist her friend. At five foot nothing with jet black hair and topaz eyes men followed her around like she was the pied piper.
Chapter Thirty Four Dream State Remix Jared was pissed as he watched his best friend disappear but said nothing. He made sure he picked up all the boxes that he needed to make sure they had a fighting chance to make it. Then his next goal was to find Sage. He knew she would have gone to one of two places. He went to the shooting range where they had first met.Jared remembered the day he had met Sage. It was over four years ago. She had pulled up in a 2000 dark blue jeep that had seen better days. Her hair was piled on top of her head. She was dressed in workout clothes, and she took her time putting on her sunglasses. He had kept working but he could see her weighing her options when she walked in the door. Jared couldn’t help but smile when she had walked into the storefront where he kept all his guns. He had a sale just before all the mommy’s, and daddies took their precious baby’s back to college. They often stopped at the shooting range to blow off steam. Sage had walked in,
