Blackness fell as the portal closed with a pop and time righted
itself. The energy ribbons into Hell were all but closed, dark magics
preventing others from getting in. Quiet swallowed Elia whole, the
gravity of the situation weighing on him, the breath squeezing from
his lungs.
Nooooo!
Graeae came racing at breakneck speed from the building, his
hands out before him, the Halfling free, running behind him. A wall
of blue light splintered the black of night as Graeae captured the tail
end of Molock s ribbon signature, his face screwed tight as he pulled
deep to hold on to their only chance to save Jason from the pits of
Hell.
A circle began to form and strengthen and Elia s claws had
extended, piercing his palms in anxiousness. He felt his horns curl
out and his fangs elongate as rage roiled through him at Jason s
abduction. Molock would pay dearly for this one.
Elia eyed the Halfling, who looked ready and raring to run
through the portal as soon as it was complete, but there were no time
for questions. If the male was ready to run into Hell at their side, he
wasn t going to argue the point, but the first time the male appeared to
deceive them, he d be dead.
Once the portal was complete, Graeae turned to the Halfling,
spearing him with his eyes. After you, Avery. You want your
freedom? This is your path. Don t let me down.
Elia watched the exchange between the two males, grunting as
time wasted. He rushed past them both and ran through the light.
And into the bowels of Hell.
Chapter Twelve
Graeae glanced over Elia and Avery before checking out his
surroundings. They were in a stone corridor, the temperature
unbearable. The heat moved in visible waves through the air before
him, his skin stinging and pulling in instant dehydration. Small puffs
of steam rose from his arms and when he looked down, he realized it
was his own sweat evaporating from him as soon as his body released
it.
The human won t be able to endure this. Graeae nodded to the
others as he turned and began to walk the corridor, seeking the sheriff.
Elia would never forgive himself if anything happened to the sheriff,
so Graeae would do anything to prevent the human s demise.
Graeae recalled the last time he d been in this place. He d
come here with Ios to save Elia nearly five hundred years before. The
broken male they d found when they arrived had been hard to
comprehend. There was no way he d allow Elia to come back to this
place alone, especially when his mind couldn t be logical with Jason
in Lucifer s hands.
Avery rushed past him as they turned a corner and Graeae s
eyes drifted to him. The Halfling seemed eager to fight. His first
instinct had been to get the male as soon as he d seen Elia screaming
in the street. He wasn t quite sure why, but it had been like he d
known what was about to happen, the outcome almost inevitable. The
fact that Graeae had turned to a being he couldn t trust, yet
instinctively did, screamed into his psyche. He just hoped he didn t
live to regret it. The male was so hot and cold that there was no way
to predict how he d react in any situation.
They moved into another corner and one more loomed
immediately.
The labyrinth? Elia called from behind him. If we re here,
we re close to Lucifer. Our only chance to save Jason will be to get
to Molock before he has a chance to get to his master. We ll never
get to him in time.
We re seconds behind Molock and he doesn t expect us, so
he may not rush through the corridors. If you can lock onto Jason s
scent, we can potentially catch up.
Graeae paused, stopping Avery as Elia scented the space.
It s tough to gather anything in this place, but I think we re
on the right path. We ve not had any choices to go in a different
direction yet. Let s go.
The three began to run. After three more twists, they were
presented with their first choice. Elia, in the lead, stopped, scented
both and moved right. Graeae followed his brother into the abyss,
hoping they were going in the right direction.
As they ran through the labyrinth, not once did they pass
another creature. The oppressive heat grew worse the farther they
traveled. Graeae began to grow weary, the dread of the place
creeping up on him. Another turn and Graeae saw figures before him.
And a light. A bright, white light that could only be the Soul
Collector s. Jason was attacking Molock on his own and a sense of
pride and awe struck him over the human.
Avery stiffened beside him and burst into a run, the Fae in him
making him fleet-soled. Before either he or Elia could catch up,
Avery struck an attacking Jason, pulling him from Molock, ending the
demon s screams. The air was sucked from Graeae s lungs as he
realized that the unpredictable male had been the wrong one to turn
to.
Hope died in him in that moment. The Halfling was not
worthy.
****
Elia screamed as the Halfling threw Jason to the floor. He
would die for his actions. Pumping his legs as fast as he could, Elia
raced to get to his human before any more harm could come of him.
He d been the sole reason his sheriff had been brought to hell and he
had to save him. His pride had been both their downfalls.
Another white light flared. This time it came from the
Halfling who resumed Jason s place in the fight. He hadn t attacked
Jason, but removed him from the fight. Molock s screams erupted
again as Avery grasped his head, a spear of light piercing Molock s
skull as it formed in Avery s hand.
Elia slid to the floor at Jason s side as he approached. Jason
was struggling to breathe in the heat, his chest heaving. Molock
didn t matter any longer. Whether he lived or died didn t matter
versus Jason living. Elia began to open a portal back to Earth, ready
to get his sheriff out of the Hell Dimension.
Once the portal was opened, he looked over his shoulder at
Graeae and the Halfling fighting a wounded Molock. Push him
through! We need to get Jason out of here now.
Elia picked Jason up and walked into the light. Molock fell to
the ground behind him, half his face torn asunder. The beast was on
his hands and knees, blood dripping from his injuries. Placing Jason
on the soft ground beside the county building, Elia formed two orbs of
energy as Avery and Graeae strode back onto Earth.
Avery began to rush the beast and Elia stopped him. He s
mine. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
