Releasing a choking sound, she instinctively grabbed his wrist. “Are you going to compensate me for time lost searching for you, witch?”
She struggled against his grip; he drew her to eye level which terrifyingly enough had her feet kicking in the air.
“Lyon.”
He loosened his hold so abruptly, she hit the ground hard gasping for air. “Oops,” he glanced over his shoulder at the one who’d remained above. He wiggled his fingers, “Sorry, I forgot she wasn’t to be played with, Jion.” On this note, he looked back at Sabina who tried to crawl back to Raijin’s side.
“The secret is what we need,” The one known as Jion said, as he came to a stop beside Lyon. He looked coldly down at Sabina, who’d grabbed onto Raijin’s hand once more glaring at them both with hate. “But that doesn’t mean she won’t be useful till it’s revealed.”
Releasing a sigh, Lyon spun away giving Sabina his back. “I’ll go get Dr. Clinger.”
Sabina stiffened when she heard that name, her eyes widening in disbelief as the unseelie ascended the steps. Maybe she’d misheard him. He’d had to have meant someone else. Sabina couldn’t let herself believe for one minute that, that terrible man was alive.
The dark fingers of her locked away memories wouldn’t allow her to even dare think he might be alive. But what reality often teaches us, is it can be far more unbelievable than a dream. And when the one known as Jion called out to someone who had remained in the dark of the doorway.
She felt her throat close.
Screaming faces filled her visions, as hands scrambled against the rock and stone. The choking black covered them as she and the others tried to dig themselves out. The smell of piss, and blood filled her noise as the sound of burying spells echoed all around her and the others.
A stoic face, with thick monocles turned to her, the demon smiled.
“Is this my new test subject?” He asked with mild curiosity.
Sabina lost all hold on reality as she was swallowed by the dark of her mind.
Chapter21
No Man’s Land
SABINA
Sabina fought the scream clawing at her chest, her arms and legs held spread eagled by chains. She shivered as she felt the surge of foreign magic running up the wires that had been inserted into her body with needles. Her body rippled as the pain flooded her. Her fingers curled into a fist, as she bit her lip against the excruciating burn.
Her eyes closed, as she counted silently.
“1.”
“2.”
“3.”
“Stop.”
Her body went limp, Sabina had grown accustomed to this form of torture. She’d also grown accustomed to this room filled with glowing rods thrumming with foreign magic. The chains that held her upright, kept her from running, and had become assurances that they hadn’t yet judged her useless.
The eyes of the man she loathed turned away from the large computer screen in front of him, to her. The light from the monitor casting a glow across his simple glasses. He tapped his chin in thought, “It would seem she has a high capacity for resistance.”
She glared at him through the partings of her wet hair.
Dr. Clinger turned to the Cambion demon and complained, “She refuses to allow us to enter her mind and continues to reject the Foreign Magic. Take her away.”
Hearing this, Sabina immediately felt a rush of anger. Her body growing stronger as she recovered. As soon as the demon guard reached her. She lashed out, her fist slamming into the side of his face.
“Shit.”
He cursed, slapping a hand to his busted lip. She grinned with satisfaction.
“You bitch.” He slammed his fist into her stomach.
