Kit growled at the sight of the strangers as strange lights came from The Green Man.
“The Rakehell Six,” he sneered and exited the car.
Maggie and Mariah turned to them, surprised to see them.
“Stephanie, what on earth are you doing here?” Maggie exclaimed.
“It’s not a good time for a visit,” Mariah added hastily.
“Kit and I know. What do they battle in there?” Stephanie asked.
“Kit?” a guy said, shocked.
“Another damn Norton,” a second man complained with a sigh.
“What does CeeCee face?” Kit demanded. “I have little time for games, Ravenell.”
“A golem. Cole, Lucian, and Benedict stayed behind to kill it. But they couldn’t find its shem and without that… defeating it, Kit, may be impossible,” a girl spoke.
“Henrietta, my dear friend, nothing is beyond God’s Scourge,” Kit replied confidently.
“Cole is inside? He doesn’t know how to fight these things!” Stephanie gasped, turning to The Green Man.
“And you do?” Maggie demanded. She was chewing her nails, her attention split between the inn and Stephanie.
“Oh yeah, let’s just say we had a demon from hell to put to bed. And a Human Killer,” Stephanie retorted. She saw Kit readying himself and stepped closer to him.
“You promised me forever. Come back to me, Kit,” she whispered.
Kit’s hand shot out, and he drew her in close. He kissed her thoroughly, ignoring the startled comments that rose around them.
“I will always return to you,” he murmured in her ear.
He lifted his head as he held her tightly.
“Monmouth and Mortimer, you will keep the women out. Whatever happens in there, do not enter until I say so,” he ordered.
Two men who looked older than Kit appeared insulted he was giving them orders, but they bowed their heads.
“Our word,” one said as the other nodded.
“I love you,” Kit whispered and turned away to stride towards the inn.
Kit
“I love you too,” Stephanie cried after him.
Kit felt her words bolster him and peered through a window.
Chaos greeted him, and he took it in within seconds. Lucian lay stunned, and he saw CeeCee go flying into Benedict and knock them both down. The last man standing, who Kit assumed was Cole, stabbed at the golem bravely with a spear, only to take a thunderous blow. Cole slid into Lucian and then covered his brother’s body with his own. CeeCee flew towards the golem as it approached the two men and was slapped back.
Kit kicked in the door and launched himself in the air, feet first at the golem. His feet connected with its head and knocked it backwards. Kit was unsure whether it was the surprise of his entrance or the kick, but the creature was stunned for a few seconds.
“CeeCee, go high!” Kit yelled.
Cecilia didn’t hesitate but leapt up and ran towards Kit. In a well-practised move, he bent low as CeeCee reached him, and he threw her upwards. As she flew from his hands, Kit lurched forward and slashed the golem from one hip to another.
CeeCee landed on the golem’s back with a war cry, and her blade dug deep into the golem’s cheek. It tore open like butter, and Kit saw a piece of paper.
