Where were the guards?She looked around only to see their bodies lying on the ground unmoving. The children behind her were crying. Trying to think of what to do, she jolted when something slammed into her barrier, facing forward once more she found the demon that had been attacking her was currently being pressed to the barrier by a red mist created by Alek.
“Mommy.”
She dropped her barrier turning she knelt slapping her hand on the ground causing it to rumble before the ground beneath the children gave way, lowering so that they were out of harm’s way.
She turned around and faced the demon who held her daughter. “Let. Her. Go.” She braced her feet apart, her blood racing as fear clenched her heart. “She has nothing to do with this, take me instead.”
The demon looked from her to where the red mist was swallowing his partner. His pained filled screams filling the air. Without another word he threw Kahlia at her.
Surprised, she ran to her daughter only for her to be yanked back. The demon appearing behind her wrapped her in his harms, his left-hand grabbing her throat.
“Khalia float.” She yelled.
Her daughters’ body stopped midair above the lowered earth where the other children were. Tears falling from her eyes, Kahlia turned herself right up. “Mommy,” She called.
“I’m okay,” she tried to assure her barely holding back a wince of pain when her captors claws pricked her neck. “Join the others. I’ll be fine.”
Kahlia expression tightened looking down, then to her mother who was being held. “No.”
“Kahlia listen to me,” Sabina yelled desperately, “go down.”
Shaking her head, Kahlia launched herself at the demon who held her. “Let go of my mommy.” She cried.
The demon clicked his tongue, lifting his free hand he shot a sickly green light at her daughter. “Annoying brat.” He muttered.
“Kahlia, no.” she yelled.
Sabina pulled against his hold, her heart dropping to her feet as she reached out to her child trying to stop her, but the speed of the beam was faster.
Kahlia stopped short, her eyes widening as the light drew closer. Her body was suddenly, jerked out of the air, the beam hitting a back covered in leather instead of her.
Relief had Sabina arms falling to her side uselessly.
Raijin stood, holding her daughter in his arms. Kahlia, buried her head into his shoulder holding on to his coat and cried her little heart out.
Numbly, Sabina watched Raijin brush a hand down her daughters back as he turned to face her. She could see the smoke coming off his back, from where the beam had hit. She felt the slide of tears as they fell down her cheeks. Her baby had almost been killed right before her eyes.
“Kill.”
Her body exploded in heat, her hands grabbing onto the demon’s forearm in a tight grip.
“Wha—Let go.” He exclaimed.
He struggled against her hold, but she didn’t let go, instead she tightened it. He slammed his fist into the back of her head, but she ignored that. Her body was hot as she felt the anger rise in her. “I’ll kill you.” She whispered turning so that he could look into her eyes he flinched when he stared into nothing but the abyss. “Die.”
He released a panic filled screech, as he felt something crawling under his skin. “Let go, let go, let go.”
He tried to shake her, but he couldn’t. Something crawled from her skin onto his arm. Startled he tossed her away as he staggered back slapping at his arms in fear. He turned back and forth slapping at his skin, soon his scratching until the very thing that wriggled under his skin exploded from within him tearing him to pieces as his bottom half fell to the ground. The wriggling black continued to consume him until there was nothing left and the leach looking creature faded from sight.
Pushing herself up, Sabina panted once again she’d used too much magic.
“Mom.” Kahlia yelled.
She nearly fell back, when her daughter threw herself at her. Holding her, she released a shriek of surprise when she was lifted along with her daughter by Raijin. Seeing those red eyes after so long, stirred many emotions within her.
“The children?” She asked, looking over his shoulder to see Alek lifting them out with his red mist. They ran to their parent’s who’d been frozen from helping when everything had gone left so fast. She sagged in relief.
“Their safe,” Raijin said simply, his voice clipped.
