It had been a number of years since the night he’d slipped through the barrier and found her in this world but he still remembered every detail like it had happened yesterday. A soft smile appeared on his face thinking about her jumping into that freezing cold water after him… the little idiot couldn’t even swim but she hadn't cared. His thoughts darkened as he recalled every time he’d met her in different realities. No matter what world, Kyoko never paused to think when it came to sacrificing herself in the heat of the moment to save someone she loved. Toya's lips thinned. He hoped to break her of that little habit or chain her he

Chapter 3 Dean stared down at the street below watching as Kane exited the building with the beautiful Skye and Aurora in tow. If Aurora wasn’t already mated to Michael, he’d swear the two Fallen belonged together. The way they loved each other so unconditionally reminded him of things he had long forgotten and it left him with a slight case of melancholy. Had he ever been like them or had he been born as cold and hard as he felt right now? Dean sighed not wanting to search his own soul in fear of the answer. He’d made up his mind a long time ago to become what he was now in order to protect those with softer hearts and he refused to regret that sacrifice. He remained still when Skye turned and looked up at him as if sensing he was being watched. It was good that the boy’s instincts were so sharp… he would need them to protect himself and the ones he loved in the coming days. He wished he had the time it would take to make sure Kriss and Skye became closer but his time was run

Chapter 5 Michael was in predator mode, bypassing several low level demons that didn’t grab his interest when he suddenly slowed his pace near an old house. There… he felt it… a demon with a fair amount of power was lurking somewhere inside among the stench of rotting corpses. A wicked smile appeared on his face. Michael approached the front door and politely knocked. An elderly man wearing a stained shirt and frayed dress pants opened the door as far as the latch chain would allow. He eyed the well-dressed man up and down. “Whatever you’re selling, I ain’t buying,” he slurred and brought a bottle of cheap liquor to his lips intending to spit it in the salesman’s face. Michael suddenly hit the door with his palm, breaking the chain lock and reached for the disguised demon. In one fluid movement he jerked him out the door, tossing him into the front yard like a rag doll. Kane frowned when the old man looking every bit in his late eighties practically cart wheeled across t

Chapter 7 Michael traced through the city watching the kaleidoscope of buildings and lights collapse around him with crystal clarity. The sensation made him feel like he held all of the secrets of the universe. He listened to the sounds around him… the chatter of humans breezing by him like rushing water… the roar of car engines and music playing. He turned his head when he detected a more ominous sound. The human voices and noise fell away leaving behind the hiss of demonic whispers. At first he couldn't make out what they were saying because there were so many but becoming curious, he slowed his pace so he could listen more closely. The dark voices began to come into focus and he picked up slivers of conversations no one else could hear. He could hear malevolent whispers of demons plotting against other demons for territory and smirked coldly knowing the winners of those battles would add to his high when he bled them. He would leave those alone for now and let them fight am

Chapter 9 “Guy’s here with the spell,” Nick said leaning against the doorframe to glare daggers at Ren. Ren smirked and took Gypsy by the hand, leading her out into the main part of the shop. Nick growled as they passed by and followed them. Guy was standing by the main counter waiting on them. “What do we have to do?” Gypsy asked wanting to get everything in place as soon as possible. She really wanted to sleep in her own bed tonight. “I would say we start by stepping outside,” Guy said. “You may stand in the doorway. Because you’re the owner, the repellant spell won’t affect you and you can come and go as you please.” They all looked at each other before heading out onto the sidewalk and turning to face the shop. Gypsy stood in the doorway watching them and wondering what exactly was going to happen. She prayed nothing else would get destroyed… her nerves really couldn’t take it a third time. Guy didn’t bother taking out the piece of parchment paper the spell specif
