Finally Chad gave in and blinked his eyes, “I told you Trevor, there’s nothing wrong with me. Trust me, if I had any supernatural powers I would use them on you right now. Even Ren says I’m still completely human and I don’t have any side effects.” Chad looked away from Trevor and set his gaze on Ren, “Come on, back me up on this.” Ren shrugged but ignored Trevor knowing it would be Storm's decision whether Chad was off the hook or not. “I don’t feel any kind of power coming from him… zilch. He’s still human as far as I can tell. Kriss said that he might heal faster than normal… at least for a while.” “So we don’t kno

Chapter 3 Chad was still giving Trevor the silent treatment when they pulled into the parking lot at Moon Dance. The only one that had gotten a word out of him was Evey and Trevor was starting to feel a bit left out. It wasn’t that he didn’t want Chad to live alone. Hell, even he understood the meaning of privacy. What scared him the most was the thought of Chad going back to that apartment so that whatever had killed him could show back up for a ‘murder part two’. No one had been there the last time until it was too late… and he seriously didn’t want to relive Chad’s death scene. Once had been more than enough. Trevor sighed when Chad got out of the car without a word and strode toward the entrance of the club. “Hey, hold up a minute,” Trevor called out closing Evey’s door a little too hard. Great, now he felt guilt over both friends. “What?” Chad growled not bothering to turn around. “Come on man,” Trevor said as he caught up and placed a hand on Chad’s shoulder, “T

Chapter 5 Guy let go of Zachary and took a deep breath before releasing it loudly. If he smoked, this would have been a good time for a cigarette… this was starting to get too stressful. He could understand why Zachary was mad as hell, but this temper tantrum of his was taking it a little over the deep end. It wasn’t like he was facing a full blood demon and pissing it off or anything. Guy turned to watch Craven carefully. “Guy, look out!” Jason shouted calling Zachary’s attention away from Tiara. Guy spun around and his eyes widened when he saw two sexy women coming straight for him. Any other time he would have held his arms out in acceptance but… he didn’t think so. They moved with a strange snakelike quality and had several rows of sharp teeth exposed between their lips. Their hair was in long ratted locks that seemed to have a life of their own. His eyes darted to the sharp talons gracing their fingertips and knew exactly what they were… human legend called them Gorgon

Chapter 7 Shadow roamed the early morning streets of the sprawling city remembering the last time she’d been here. It had only been a few weeks prior. Looking around her at the people walking by, she noticed the number of souls greatly outnumbered the living. They appeared as they had in life, going to work, riding imaginary bicycles, and even riding the buses. Deth would have a field day collecting them all if he were here with her. Her eyes narrowed at the vast number of demons walking around as well. Most of the demons she’d met over her years of servitude with Deth looked like normal humans and these were no different. What gave them away was the fact that she could feel the malevolent energies surrounding them. A thought came to her and she stopped in front of a lingerie shop to wait. She rolled her eyes at the mannequin behind the glass in its skimpy little outfit. The demons that walked by her didn’t acknowledge her existence. She shivered involuntarily when a handsome

Chapter 9 Kane sat in the passenger seat of Chad’s car with a foot propped up on the dashboard. “What do you really think of all of this?” Chad asked. “I think it’s bullshit,” Kane answered while he lit a cigarette, “Envy loves both of them but their rivalry is what’s making her afraid to tell them the truth.” Chad nodded, “Makes sense to me… they would do anything for her. I think if she just came out and told them, it would save us a lot of trouble.” “She’s protecting them by not telling them,” Kane said. “Truth is, if Trevor wasn’t such a nice guy… Devon wouldn’t stand a chance. I’m glad the baby is Trevor’s. He will be strong.” “He’s going to have to be strong to keep up with his sudden extended family,” Chad smirked wondering what his sister was going to name him. “You were smart coming to us first. Right now, telling them the truth would probably be the same as telling them to draw pistols at dawn,” Kane said. “Either way they would be at constant odds… one w
