and me. The fireballs ricochet off the shield , showering ribbons of sparks and f lames down on the heads of the f allen angel s hacking at Reed.
“No shit ! I ’m with you , Red,” Russell calls back, g etting pounded by a shadowy neva r ache, conjured by Eion. The neva rache ’s black , spiky tail snakes around Russell’s body while it tries to dig its sharp, ferocious claws into his neck. I pull energy away from Eion, making his neva rache fade , bleedin g away like a falling star .
“EVIE! ” Reed shouts , spinning away from the att a ck from f allen angel s on the ground and tak ing flight near us. “GO NOW ! ” he orders , c atching the arm of a f allen angel who i s about to clea ve me in two with his axe. Reed struggles with him, fo rcing him back into the wall and embedding the axe in the fallen’ s chest .
Closing my eyes, I pull all the ener gy in the room to me. I whisper w ords to myself, before forcing the power from my body . Icicles ru n the length of the wall s , coursing down it and branching out, freezing everything in its path. Missing Zephyr by mere inches, the burgeoning ic e flow encompasses many of the f allen angels near the doors, continuing out into the hallway beyond this room. Zephyr swi ng s his sword at a frozen f allen angel, creating lo ng, web-like cracks that rip through the tragic figure, shattering the f allen Power like glass.
Satisfied that I’ve done all I can to help, I reach for my necklace, signal ing to Russell that we need to go . My gaze turns to R eed, winking at him as I touch my ne cklace, feeling the smooth onyx beneath my fingertips. Catching the clasp, the necklace spring s open . T he expression on Reed’s face change s from r elief to wide-eyed horror . An instant later, Eion pounces on me, wrapping his legs around my waist and hugging his body to mine like a serpent. Pressing h is cool lips against my neck, his sharp fangs bit e into my flesh just as we’ re stretched and pulled together into my portal.
CHAPTER 6
Anya
Crashing on to a hard floor in a magnificent bedroom, my mouth open s wide in utter agony befo re my teeth clench together in pain. Eion is beneath me; his legs are still wrapped around me like a clamp as he continues to tear and suck the rapidly flowing blood from my neck. St ruggling to break away from him , my visi on slips out of focus as stabbing pain tears through me. It feels like Eion is collapsing a chamber within my heart as he greedily draws more and more blood from me .
Straining, I reach back, clawing at his eyes with my fingernails. He has to pull his teeth out of me to avoid me gouging h is eyes out. Pantin g like he’s run a race, Eion speaks behind me, “Ye are incredible, Genevieve.”
I pick my head up, and then dri ve it back hard into his face, hearing a crack of cartilage as I break his n ose. His legs loosen on my waist and I try to stand, but I fall forward instead. I crawl toward the bedroom door, kicking my feet at Eion who groans and tries to grab me again.
Eion ho ld s my leg, pulling himself up; he bares his teeth again, driving them into my thigh. As he feeds on me again , a scream of agony rips from me. I grasp his hair, pulling out a fistful of it and dislodging him from me. K icking him in the face, I turn again, crawling again toward the door. Almost gaining my feet, I sway , falli ng over as dizziness overwhelms me.
“Dis is so much better den da mindless compliance from da wans ,” Eion says be hind me, referring to the enthralled women who cannot fight back. “ ’ Tis no wonder why he can na live wi’ out ye. ’ Tis so sexy when ye struggle…I can taste da fire in yer blood— o r maybe dat is whah ye always taste like.”
Standing over me, Eion looks drunk; he sways a little before catching himself against the post of the enormous bed. “I need ta know whah it feel s like when ye struggle as I bury meself in ye…can ye do dat for me, aingeal …will ye struggle for me whil e I make luv
