Finally, the bottom of the boat scraped against rocks. Alex climbed out quickly and I followed, leaving the kayaks behind.
“Run,” I growled, and he did.
Alex sprinted towards the truck as I turned to try and see just what was happening. Another scream echoed through the forest, followed by the pulse of dark power.
Witches.
I knew it by the smell of sulfur in the air. Were they attacking humans?

“Who are they?” Alex gasped.
“Don’t care, not friends,” I said quickly.
I turned the truck and stepped on the gas, lurching over the rocks until we hit the dirt road that would lead us to the highway.
My eyes widened as I realized there was a body in our path, very much dead.
“What in the seven fucking hells,” I whispered. “Alex, call the Barista. Now. And don’t look at the road. Don’t look at anything but the phone. Do you understand?”
He was silent for a moment and then I snarled, stealing a glance at him.
“Yes, Daddy,” he whispered.
“Get him on the phone and let me talk.”
Alex gave a nod and I turned my focus back on the road, my gut twisting.
