I tried to reach for my other form, for the power I’d found, but it didn’t work. Was there a limit when I could use that? Was it my fear?

All I knew was I couldn’t seem to grasp for that burning sensation that had consumed me before.

I slammed my fist against the door when I had nothing else to do, nothing else to try.

“Well, well,” came a voice from behind me, one I’d heard but didn’t immediately recognize.

I twisted to find Lilith there, a smirk on her lips that wasexactlylike Lucifer’s.

I could have thought it was a coincidence that I’d ended up in her room, or that she was hiding like me, but there was no way to believe something so innocent.

I took one look into her eyes, into the sadistic pleasure on her face, and got the same feeling as I had when I’d faced her—or the pieces of herself she’d left in others.

Lilith was the shadow, the thing that had been stealing spirits, that had driven the immortals mad, that had nearly killed me in my dreams, and here I was, stuck alone in aroom with her.
