Chapter 31 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth Nalio

Angelica…

When I started my shift, I was a little bummed to realize that Jade and I wouldn’t be working together as she was the only one I got along with. To my relief, though, Del and the other Gargoyle staff members were no longer trying to start shit with me. While it was irritating that they’d had to learn I was the granddaughter of a super-powerful immortal to give me any sort of respect, it was a nice break from the normal tension.

I picked up the drinks off the empty table and put them on my tray, then turned to walk to another table. A young guy slapped my ass. “Hey half-breed, maybe when you’re done being Zander's whore you can bring that sweet ass my way?”

His buddies were laughing as I gritted my teeth and turned around. With a smile, I picked up one of the half-finished drinks off my tray and dumped it on him. “I’m not a whore,” I said.

They all jumped up from the table, the one I’d dumped my drink on spitting, “Bitch!”

  • Set Fire and Burn   Chapter 53

    Chapter 53 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica…“Did you find her?” Zander answered on the second ring, anger and desperation in his voice.“Zander-” I nearly sobbed with relief at the sound of his voice.“Angelica! Where are you? What happened? Are you alright?”I closed my eyes and slid to the floor, tears streaming down my face. “I’m so sorry, I couldn’t stop it—couldn’t stop them from—Zander, I’m so sorry,” I sobbed.My heart felt like it was frozen in my chest as I waited for his response. “Are you alright?”“No. Yes. It—it’s complicated,” I cried.“Is Alatap with you?” he asked in a calm voice.“I asked him to go get me clothes,” I said, gaining some control over myself.“Where are you? How do I get to you?” There was a note of desperation in his voice.“About 20 minutes outside of hell,” I told him honestly.“Angelica, love, I can’t get to you if I don’t know where you are.” The irritation was rising in his voice.I looked up at the ceiling, willing myself to tell him as m

  • Set Fire and Burn   Chapter 52

    Chapter 52 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica… “Wake up,” a woman’s gentle voice said as someone lightly shook my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see a stunning brunette, the one from last night who had been without chains on one of the tables.That’s when I remembered everything that had happened. Horror and disgust took over my body as I sat up quickly, tears beginning to stream down my face. “Oh God, what did I do?”She gave me a sad look. “I had hoped that he would wait to do such to you. I’m so sorry.”I looked up at her with tear-filled eyes and hatred. “As if it would have been any better to wait a day or two before raping me!”She looked toward the entrance to my room. “I’d hoped to have a chance to free you before it had happened instead of after. We must hurry, while they are busy regaining their strength.” She handed me a robe. “Put this on, it’s all I have.”“Who are you?” I asked as I took the robe.“I’m your grandmother, Persephone,” she said as she looked around ag

  • Set Fire and Burn   Chapter 51

    Chapter 51 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioUnknown…Using a transportation potion, Angelica’s captor took them to Greece in a matter of moments. Once his feet settled upon the soil, he wasted no time searching her for a phone. Finding it easily in her pocket, he tossed it to the ground, lifted her unconscious form into his arms, and set off for his destination.Zander… As I got the last of the items on Angelica’s list, I looked around, wondering if it really took that long to pick out the perfect bird as she’d said. With a sigh, I pulled out my phone and called her while heading to the frozen turkeys. Her phone rang, rang again, and again. Panic filled me as I listened and couldn’t hear it anywhere in the store. Then a thought occurred to me, and I pulled up Alatap’s contact information and called him.He answered on the second ring. “Well, if it isn’t The Sandman. What can I do for you?”“Cut the shit, where is she?” I demanded, ready to track him down and rip him apart.“What do yo

  • Set Fire and Burn   Chapter 50

    Chapter 50 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica…Ash looked at me like I had spoken a different language. “You invited a Demon into a Gargoyle's home?”Closing my eyes, I pinched the bridge of my nose. “Al is the leader of the Demons here in town, and Zander is the leader of the Gargoyles, right?”“You are correct, and for the last few months, you have been in the middle, making a mess of things,” Ash said in a bland tone.“Watch yourself, friend,” Zander said in a tight voice.“He’s just giving his honest opinion. What I’m getting at though, is that things between Gargoyles and Demons in this city could improve if Zander and Ash can get along at least a little bit. Wouldn’t it be nice to go anywhere in the city without worrying about whose damn territory you’re in?”“You are painfully human in your thinking,” Ash said.“Does that mean you’re coming to dinner?” I asked, matching his bland tone. They were the ones being painfully stubborn.“Do I have a choice?” Ash asked, looking a

  • Set Fire and Burn   Chapter 49

    Chapter 49 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica…Putting my phone down, I looked at Zander, who was walking out of the bedroom. Had I damaged his reputation beyond repair? If I had, what could I do to fix it? With an inward sigh, I opened a text to Jade and told her about the plans for Thanksgiving dinner. To my surprise, she responded right away that she would bring a pie. That left Ash. I didn’t have Ash’s number, which suddenly struck me as odd, seeing as how Zander was always putting him in charge of keeping me safe when he wasn’t around.After I got dressed, I walked into the kitchen to find Zander in the middle of making an omelet. “So, if I’m supposed to tell Ash, I need his number.”“He’ll be here in an hour, you can talk to him about it then.”“I didn’t know he was coming over.” He’d only been over a few times, and of those times he’d only stayed once, the day Zander and he had sparred in the basement.“I need to talk to him about working out how to cover your shifts at t

  • Set Fire and Burn   Chapter 48

    Chapter 48 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica… After the movie, I talked Zander into telling me about some of the wars he’d been in. As I listened, I could almost see the battle from his eyes. For some reason, I’d thought all of his battles had been hand-to-hand, but he’d used all kinds of weapons. The way he spoke about using a mace led me to believe it was his favorite. He talked about how he’d swung it, feeling its weight glide through the air until it connected with a jarring, crunching blow into his unfortunate enemy. He talked about the blood-soaked battlefields and the men and monsters that charged over them, ignoring the fallen, until the battles ended.That night I dreamt about being in the midst of a battle. Dragons flew over the open fields, breathing fire down upon the armies. Men and monsters fell while others fought on. Blood washed over the grass until the battle was raging in what looked like a lake of it. Zander stood in the middle of the battlefield, gray, wit
