“No!!!!” My scream became silent and I became desperate, clawing at the floor as the earth continued to swallow me whole.
I scraped at the floorboards, refusing to relent. These were my souls, he couldn’t have them. And that’s when He put a vision in me. While I was busy fucking a succubus, He was busy fucking me over. The raven had bound her soul to the biker and in the distance I could hear the faint laughter of satisfaction as the Seer’s soul lifted up out of hell. He’d taken her from me, and she’d had the last laugh.
The world closed in around me and I screamed in my fury, cursing at the skies above me, promising him that as long as they lived they would never find peace.
EPILOGUE
RAVEN
1994
Dear Diary,
I wish I could tell you we lived happily ever after, but that would be a lie. The seer had told my husband the truth, the Devil would never stop until he had dragged us both to hell. I can’t describe what happened that night, only that God was with us. He’d somehow punished Lucifer in his own way.
We learned later that my powers could affect the Devil. The fact that I’d been pregnant, and didn’t know, might have heightened the innocence in me, allowing me to get to him. I didn’t know why I started singing or how I even had the strength, but when Liam had started to pray, something came over me.
I looked down at my newborn little boy. He was perfect in every way, just how we’d hoped. I like to think God helped us that day, and protected me and my small family. We named him Ethan, after my great great grandfather, the one who started it all. We’d been blessed with a boy, but I would have loved a little girl, so I had someone to give my gift to. Then again, you never knew what could happen. Liam wanted a family, and he deserved one.
Serge? I have absolutely no idea where he went off to but there’s been rumors about a traveling freak-show flourishing and the darkness it holds, sounds a lot like him.
“Baby, you ready?”
I looked up to find Liam standing there in a suit and my mouth propped open in shock.
“What? DOes it not look good. I told Bulldog it wouldn’t fit.”
I went to him, sliding my hands up the lapels of the suit jacket and grinned. “You look absolutely delicious,
“Oh yeah,” he teased my mouth.
“Yes,” I giggled as he pulled me in for a kiss. Any kiss he’d give me was dangerous.
I laughed as his passionate kisses fell to my neck. “Liam we’re going to be late.”
“Just a little taste,” he murmured, dragging his tongue along my breast bone.”
“A little taste turns into an hour late just like our wedding.”
I swatted him away and picked up Ethan, handing him to his father. “Take him while I finish getting ready.”
“But…”
“Nope,” I pointed at the door. “Out, both of you.”
He pouted as he started to walk out and I had to laugh. “If daddy’s good he can have a taste later.”
His eyes lit up and he gave me a lopsided smirk. “Just a taste?”
“Eh, maybe a whole meal.”
I giggled as he walked away telling Ethan they were both going to eat off Mommy later.
Shaking my head I went back to the vanity and stared at myself in the mirror. Grabbing my lipstick I slowly ran it over my lips stopping short as a blurred vision appeared in the reflection of the mirror.
I quickly looked back but there was nothing there. A shiver ran up my spine and the hairs in the back of my neck stood up. I quickly got up, circling the room, feeling that ominous presence I knew so well.
“No,” I whispered.
“Yessss, my Raven. I found you…”
I screamed, feeling the trail of his fingers down my legs. Lucifer was trying to crawl from whatever cage he’d been put into. I shook as Liam burst through the door. He saw the look on my face and his step faltered.
“What’s wrong?”
“We have to run,” I said quietly, not wanting him to hear us.
Liam nodded, and grabbing my hand we put our plan into gear. There was no way out for us. All we could do was find our own peace until he returned, and then we’d have to start all over again. But I was willing to do that because in the end I knew, this…Liam and Ethan were my fate.
