Chapter 231: Summerlands

Rose's body lay crumpled at Laci's feet, another thing that made no sense to Laci about this realm of the dead. If this was truly a spirit world, one where the deceased go while they await their next journey, then how did Rose even have a body for the demons to torture? She should be…well, she should be a ghost, right? A spirit of sorts? How could a spirit be tortured?Rose groaned as she rolled over onto her back, smoke seeming to rise from her singed body. The demon just cackled as he watched them, the noise sounding like boulders grating against each other. His body was a deep red, almost as if it had been dipped in blood. His eyes were almost as dark as his body, with no whites to be seen, almost as if they flowed from his body straight to the pupils. He had pointy ears and two small horns in the middle of his slick scalp. His teeth were just as yellowed as Baltabek's, and his fingers and toes were scrawny claws that resembled small talons from a twisted bird. He wore no clothing,

Chapter 232: Summerlands

Seconds after Tansy hung up from Jayden, Wanda screamed again, her body twisting into a painful knot on the floor. Famallumi did his best to hold her steady and keep her from hurting herself, but somehow, she seemed too strong for the elf. "Damn!" Tansy hissed through clenched teeth. "Laci must be at it again." At least that meant the eldest Valentine sibling was alive. The trouble was, would they be able to say that about Wanda if they didn't stop Laci?Wanda's body stilled, her breathing shallow, and Tansy found herself wondering if Laci gave up in the Summerlands. Famallumi eased back, his gaze still fixed on Wanda's body, hands held in front of him to either comfort the woman or hold her down again. He should have prepared to defend himself.When Wanda opened her eyes, they glowed and pulsed a bottomless black, almost feral in their appearance. With a jerk of her wrist, she flung the Lore Master Apprentice across the shop to smash into a glass cabinet, shattering everything inside

Chapter 233: Summerlands

Laci looked around her, wondering where her sister and Alex disappeared to while she had been in the Summerlands. Jayden's bedroom was quiet, empty. Surely, her sister wouldn't have left her there, not without knowing what happened to her. Even then, she would try to find a way to rescue Laci, wouldn't she? Perhaps that was it. Perhaps, Jayden and Alex left to find Tansy and the others to rescue Laci from the Summerlands and the demon's clutches.Or had she pissed them off because she had traveled to the Summerlands on her own, leaving them behind so she could face Baltabek on her own? Laci sighed. How would they even know where I went? No, something else must be happening, but what? In hindsight, she should have known she wasn't strong enough to face a centuries-old demon on her own. She had barely come into her powers and had yet to learn everything she needed to learn to be a witch, depending on others to always save her from the Unseelie. Yet, somehow, once she saw the bridge, she

Chapter 234: Summerlands

A cool breeze drifted across the back deck of Embers. Rhychard leaned along the wooden railing, a Jameson neat sitting beside him and a Rocky Patel between his fingers, the smoke curling upward in a twisting stream. He stared at two pelicans as they drifted by, their bodies buoyed on the Indian River as the minuscule waves lapped upward toward the bank. Peaceful, the whole scene before him. He needed peaceful right then, needed a small period of calm so he could decide how best to move forward against the demons threatening his city, his world.The one thing he hadn't told anyone yet was his fear for the witches even if they somehow managed to cast the demons out. He once saw a person possessed by a demon, and Adrian Michaels had not survived once Vargas took him over. No, he died a gruesome death as his body had been ripped to shreds once the demon no longer needed him as a host. Vargas literally ripped his way out of the shell of Adrian's body, sending bloodied pieces of him spewing

Chapter 235: Summerlands

Jordan Thomas grimaced as he hobbled out his front door to sit on his porch, the crutch he was forced to use more of a hindrance than a help. His leg screamed at him with every step he took, the wound left by the dark elf, Aradhon, a constant reminder that the world was a very different place now. While being shot by some drug dealer's passing gunfire had always been a real concern for him living in the Bottoms, he never dreamed that he'd almost be killed by a sword. At least the bugger got his in the end, Jordan sighed as he sat down, his injured leg stretched out before him.The sun drifted down in the west, night swallowing another boring day. He would have loved to be helping Mrs. Waters with her garden, or chasing some neighborhood kids around the playground, or even ranting against the neighborhood teens and that crap they call music these days, but getting around grew difficult when your leg had been mangled by a dark elf's sword. Stitches still covered his upper thigh, front an

Chapter 236: Summerlands

"Um, hello, Catherine," Renny said as she stared at Rhychard's mother. Rhychard saw Renny as she glanced over Catherine's shoulder, staring at him with wide eyes. He just shrugged, his expression saying he was sorry. At least, he hoped that's what it said. He was just as shocked as she was that Catherine Bartlett was there. "Rhychard didn't tell me he had invited you over." She glanced back around the condo, and Rhychard followed her gaze with his, seeing what he already knew troubled her. Kree was already there, sprawled out in his usual spot on the loveseat, while two gnomes lounged on his back. Pux sat on the salt shaker in the middle of the dining room table, smoking the tiniest pipe Rhychard had ever seen, while Drimzie watched a rerun of Gilligan's Island on the TV. She glanced back at Catherine. "It's good to see you." However, her face told Rhychard that it was anything but."You're alive," Catherine stammered, shock and confusion twisting the older woman's face. She then whi

Chapter 237: Summerlands

:Warrior, you might as well tell your mother what happened to her son,: Kree sent to Rhychard and Renny. :She already saw enough to warrant an explanation. It may very well make your life a little easier if your family knows.::You don't know my mother. It could very well make things worse.: Still, Rhychard knew he would have to tell his parents about Renny being alive sooner or later, and thanks to her intrusion, she had forced the timing. However, how much of the rest of his world could he safely reveal?Renny watched him, her hands clasped in front of her on the table. "Kree is right," she said. "We need to tell her.""I assume I'm the her to which you refer," Catherine said, her tone tinged with annoyance. "Who is Kree?"Rhychard pointed to the coshey. "Kree is that giant furball on my loveseat. He's a coshey, or as some would say, an elven hound. He's been my partner in all this since the beginning." Rhychard found himself smiling as he stared at the silvery coshey. "He's saved my

Chapter 238: Summerlands

Until they had answers, there wasn't anything else for the witches to do but wait, not an area where Laci excelled. Once she had reached Jayden, her sister filled her in on everything Laci missed while she ventured into in the Summerlands. Not only had the next demon come through, possessing Wanda, which Laci could not prevent, now both took refuge under the Harbor City Causeway waiting for the other demons. Demons now possessed two of the five witches, and Laci wanted nothing more than to return to the Summerlands and rip Baltabek apart. She sighed as she stared out her sister's passenger window. She tried doing just that, and the only thing that happened was Baltabek tossing her around like a rag doll while sizzling Rose with his red coils of power. Laci had failed, and because of her failure, a demon now controlled Wanda. She simply made the situation worse. Perhaps it's a good thing, then, that I'm giving up on being a witch.Since they could not do anything at the moment—Tansy and

Chapter 239: Summerlands

Standing in the doorway a moment before entering, Laci soaked in the small room where she lived for the past couple of months. Small, boring curtains covered the one window against the back wall, the full-sized bed wore a simple cover, and the dresser was bare except for a brush and a couple of bracelets she bought with her first paycheck from Bertram Leary. The walls remained bare of pictures or posters, empty, almost like her life at present. She stepped into the room and opened the closet. She could drape the clothes that hung there over one arm and still not be weighted down. She only owned three pair of shoes, a pair of black heels, the sandals on her feet, and a pair of tennis shoes. She glanced over at her sister. "We may have brought too many boxes."~ ~ ~ ~ ~Rhychard watched Laci walk back to her bedroom, a sadness filling his chest. Laci stood by him when he confronted Renny about his life, and fought alongside him when they faced Vargas, stabbing the demon through the bac

Chapter 240: Summerlands

Alex Barrister stood hidden among the palms that lined the Indian River, staring at his best friend, Kayla, underneath the bridge as she talked with Wanda. Or rather, as two demons conversed with each other using his friends' bodies. Tansy gave him explicit orders to just observe the demons' activity and not to intervene, but he needed to find a way to save Kayla. She was his best friend, perhaps even more than a best friend. He wasn't sure, but it seemed as if things changed between them lately, more romantic, more…intimate. Either way, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing while a demon stole her body. They were witches for crying out loud. They should be able to do something. Anything.The darkness of night slowly shifted to a bright morning, the briny tang of the river strong as the morning breeze blew across the water, small ripples of waves smacking the boulders that lined the shore. Early morning fishermen arrived, taking up their favorite spots and casting out into the calm
