Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Ren had finally stopped pacing the confines of his room and moved the overstuffed chair from the corner to a place next to the bed so he could keep an eye on Lacey while she slept. He now had his feet propped up on the edge of the mattress and was leaning back comfortably with his arms folded across his lower chest. It felt like she’d been asleep way too long and he had to remind himself that he’d spent three days lost somewhere in time with Storm while here in L.A. it had only been a couple hours. To make time pass by quicker he’d tried to go to sleep but most of the castle residence rarely had the need to sleep and sadly… that power touched him when he was around them. By no means was he bored though … he could watch her sleep in his bed for an eternity and never tire of the endearing sight. She really was lovely when she slept… the relaxed state did wonders for clearing away the anxiety she hadn’t been able to hide no matter how brave she was pretending to be.

Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Without even touching it Ren's agitation flung the front door of the castle wide open and he went straight to his office knowing Storm would be there waiting for him. Seeing the Time Walker rocking back and forth in the desk chair as if he’d waited all day and was bored was not amusing. “What the hell was that for?” Ren demanded crossing the room. “You were losing your temper with the poor girl,” Storm defended his actions with a shrug. “I knew how to calm her down but the only way I could gain her full attention was to send you away to a place that would give me enough time to say what I needed to say.” Ren sighed and plopped down on the sofa. He’d had plenty of time to cool off but for some reason he could still hear the damn echo of Lacey's soft voice asking to be Vincent’s partner. She would never get her wish while he had the strength to stand between her and that British idiot. “Is she better?” he asked through gritted teeth. “Go see for yourself,” St

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 “You will explain to me why you assume it is my civic duty,” Syn continued with his eyebrows lowered into a deep frown. “Well, it takes your kind to create their kind so… Yes, they are your responsibility,” Angelica challenged without missing a beat and then flung her arms wide indicating the damn barrier. “And why didn’t you do that from the start?” “I didn’t want to and you did say you needed an outlet for your frustration,” he said stepping closer to her so he could lean forward and tower over her. Angelica ran the fingers of both of her hands through her hair, “You are impossible. Back to my original question… what in the hell were you thinking turning this many people into vampires?” Syn gave her a very wicked grin that held absolutely no humor, “Would you believe me if I told you that it’s your fault.” “My… MY FAULT,” she demanded loudly pointing at herself. “What the hell?” “You are the reason for my cruel insanity,” Syn continued point blank.

Chapter 14

Chapter 14 “If you have come here looking for a fight then let me appease you by revoking the deal these demons have made with me that stops them from fighting within the walls of this building,” the demon said in the silence that followed. “Then they will all burn,” Zach threatened and the wall of black flames started slowly closing in on its prisoners causing panic from inside the dangerous barrier. “Actually, we did not come here to fight,” Storm started in a calm voice but was immediately cut off by the cocky original. “You lie,” the demon accused as it levitated several feet off the stage, its voice becoming an ominous echo as it drew a wicked looking demon blade and darted toward Storm so fast it became nothing but a blur. Storm stood his ground for a millisecond before disappearing and reappearing right behind the original as it descended. He held the demon’s wrist out to the side making the blade useless while his other arm was wrapped securely around its neck. W

Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Ren placed his hand over Lacey's eyes and held her tight when her anguished scream echoed throughout the room. How dare that insensitive bastard do that right in front of her? “Interesting,” David mimicked Storm and looked down at the pair of Fallen. “It seems there is someone Vincent truly hates after all.” “Enough!” Storm thundered, his anger making the very air in front of him warp like a translucent wave. “I grow tired of this game.” Time inside the room began to creep forward at a slower pace making movement seem exaggerated. The wavering distortion in front of Storm began to travel faster, reversing back on itself. Turning his dangerous rage in Vincent's direction, Storm focused the rip in time across the room to encase his dead friend. Vincent’s body lifted and moved back, his eyes opening once again to lock gazes with the Fallen before time rewound faster and he rejoined the silence of death… undoing his suicide and the memory of seeing the Fallen that

Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Earlier that same night, Zachary leaned back against a tree that was just as dead as the graveyard around him. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans watching Craven continue Tiara’s necromancer training. It was still hard for him to deal with all of the sensual touching involved in the training but the fact that Uncle Craven was still alive meant he’d only mentally killed the bastard a dozen times instead of doing it for real. Though he had to admit the only reason the demon hadn't gone up in flames yet was because Tiara would never forgive him for it. He gazed past them spotting the rest of the crew among the crypts and headstones. It was good to see the team alert and already in full swing. They seemed to have a lot of energy tonight and from the looks of things, they were going to need it. The unanimous decision when they’d first shown up here for their midnight shift had been to clear out everything that didn’t belong… and to do it before dawn. Zacha

Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Jason looked out over the graveyard and sighed heavily, “Wraiths at nine o’clock.” “Can’t you tell time?” Guy growled scurrying to stand near the man with the wraith killing dagger. “Try adding three, six, and twelve o’clock. We’re surrounded by them you idiot.” Jason’s eyes nearly bugged out when he noticed the darkness among the trees beginning to move. He jerked the dagger out of its sheath knowing it wasn’t going to help them. He yelped when Shadow suddenly put her arms around his waist and jerked him backwards… completely out of the cemetery and reality as he knew it. “You could have at least left me the damn dagger you chicken,” Guy yelled then ducked when several wraiths flew directly at him. He frowned when the dangerous things passed by his head without attacking and kept going… not that he was complaining. They’d come close enough to make his hair blow in the damn breeze they caused. Since it had worked out so well with the first wave, Guy decided to
