LOGINThe woman laughs, and shakes her head,
“I didn’t choose to be in there. He has these mood swings, like he’s two different people sometimes. The rougher one is fun sometimes, but he got mad at me this time, so I ended up chained and locked in the cupboard. But Syd normally remembers and lets me out when he’s the gentler version of himself. But this time he forgot I even existed it seems.” She frowns and sighs, Syd looks apologetic. But she just shakes her head, “And yes, I also make bombs.” Eliza sighs,
“Okay, do you know what he’s working on now, or when he started working for Sansom?” Eliza asks, and she shakes her head,
“I’ve been in there for three days at least. I have no idea; we had no work on the books before I went in.” She nods, and taps her ear to close the com and grabs her phone.
“I’ll call Jackson. At least we can clear this up quickly. It seems his work for Sansom isn’t complete, and we can get them both off the streets now, meaning the atta
Kai takes Serena’s hand, and sighs,“Explain it to us, if you can.” She nods,“That’s how he’s connected to her, it’s dark shit. Shit I didn’t look for because no one with any decency does it.” She looks back at Eliza, then shakes her head, “I can undo it, but it would be safer when she’s awake. I don’t know what it’ll do to her mind if she’s connected at the time.” Ash grimaces, “They probably did it on the baby girl, so you wouldn’t feel it. She wouldn’t feel it either. She doesn’t feel their pain, but it might have been uncomfortable.” Ash sits up slowly,“Someone, presumably this Petru, mutilated our daughter, in our Mate’s womb, to be able to connect to her in the eventuality that she was rescued? And in such a way that our Matebond wouldn’t pick up on it?” Serena nods, and Ash pales, a wave of nausea unlike any he&
Kai sees Eliza’s eyes flicking back and forth, then she puts the glasses back into her handbag. She breathes a deep sigh and nods.“Thanks Eddie. We’ll be back soon.” She nods, and taps her ear again, “It was a random shot, they were guessing not aiming, they hit several more spots and they didn’t see us leave. We’re clear.” Kai chuckles and Ash hugs her tightly,“You were amazing.” She grins, he cups her face, and kisses her. She moans and he purrs. Kai comes up behind her, and strokes her back.“How about we head back quickly, then we can have a proper hello, then we can have lunch and plan the next move.” Kai grins,“Sounds perfect, Baby.” He lifts her back into his arms and they start moving again, not quite so rushed this time, but still eager to get back. They arrive back in good time, and she drops off the shells into a small bag within the larger bag of weapons. An
Eliza hums,“I can see ten people; I need to take them all out before they realise where we are. Otherwise, we’re going to be fighting our way back again.” Kai nods, “Totally doable. I’ve not used this rifle in a while, but it’s like riding a bike, right?” Kai thinks for a moment,“Can you take a practise shot?” She hums, “If they won’t hear the gun and you hit something they don’t care about, maybe?” He scans the rooftop again, “There’s a weathervane, they won’t care if that makes a noise right? They’d be confused but probably wouldn’t look into it…” She hums again,“Okay, but if they start investigating it…” Ash interrupts her,“It will have spun; they’ll have no idea where it came from.” She chuckles and sighs,“Okay. Watch the weathervane, tell me how to adjust if I miss.”
“Okay then, no time to waste. I’m pretty sure the guys want to come, is anyone else wanting to come?” Eliza looks at the group, Eddie shakes his head and hands Eliza the reflective sunglasses. She smirks, and puts them on. Eddie nods, “I’ll turn them on once we’re in place.” She grabs a coat and turns to Merlin, “Could you possibly make this white?” He grins and waves his wand over it; the black coat now looks perfectly snow coloured. Kai grins, she was in charge here, “Thanks.” He nods,“Should I do the same to theirs?” She looks to Ash and Kai who are already sorting out their boots and coats, she nods and their coats change colour to match the snow. “Is there anything else I can do for you?” She shakes her head,“Not right now, I need to see it for myself, and maybe cause some destruction of property.” He nods, she goes back to her bag, and grabs the handbag of usef
Eliza has a sudden feeling of falling and she gasps sitting up suddenly as she wakes, taking a huge breath in as she does. Ash and Kai are there and are instantly reaching for her, holding onto her tightly. She breathes deeply, getting her bearings. Hecate and Set are gone. Serena’s at the dressing table doing something with Merlin but they turn around quickly and Serena rushes for her.“It was Noemi. One of her Witches.” She coughs, and Kai shuffles off the bed.“I’m going to get you some water, I’ll be back.” She nods, and leans into Ash, as he strokes her back and hair.“How long was I out?” she looks at Ash, then down at herself, she’s wearing different clothes, “Shit, that’s not good.” He whimpers, and she shifts to take his face, “Tell me, Sweetie. Please?” He closes his eyes,“A day and a half, roughly.” She closes her eyes and nods, taking stock o
Set narrows his eyes at Eliza,“I already agreed to that, publicly, in front of the entire council. You were there.” She tilts her head, raising an eyebrow, still smirking. He laughs, “But you saw through my supposed compliance, of course.” He nods, “Fine. But this is all of my debts to you cleared.” She inclines her head,“Fair enough. Go back on this deal and I promise, I will find a way to hurt you, Set.” He tilts his head then nods, he takes the scythe end of his staff and cuts his arm with a few thin lines making a symbol of some kind. Hecate nods, and cuts her palm on the scythe and adds her own blood to the lines.“This deal, if broken will end my reign over chaos, passing it to Hecate who has witnessed the deal.” Eliza is stunned, “I keep the other stuff, but the chaos will be hers.” Eliza nods, “I can’t give my Godhood to you, but I can
