“Yes, Satan doesn’t hand out meat suits freely. You have to prove yourself if you want to travel to other dimensions and fit in.”

“So you think she’s an older demon who came to earth, to what? Find the right vessel?”

“No, I think it’s more complicated than that.”

She walks and winces. “You all right, babe?”

“My ass hurts, and so do my hands.” I look down at the skin and watch in awe as the skin grafts itself back together from the flames she conjured. It’s not the same as my own. My own flames don’t burn me. “This has never happened before,” she says, looking up at me, her brown eyes full of concern.

“Go inside, shower, get cleaned up. I’m going to find everyone and bring them back here.”

“Okay,” she says, I can see that there’s a little tremor in her hands as she goes to walk away. Blair always tries to be strong. I sigh as I wrap my arms around her and hold my back to her chest tight.

“Daddy’s going to take care of everything, okay?” She nods her head against my chest, holding back tears, as I give her one more squeeze before stepping away and portaling to the bungalow.

I open the door and scan the living room and luckily find her cousin and Kas. I watch as Stevie straddles Kas’ lap. Kas’ hands wrapped around the long red locks as Stevie cups her jaw as they kiss.

“This is fucking sweet and all, but where’s Asmo?”

Kas pops her mouth from Stevie’s quickly and she looks at me like I’m hiding the blond-headed dumbass in my pocket. “He’s not with you?”

“No, I had to portal Blair out when Mara left Paige’s body.”

“Fuck,” Kas groans.

“Is Blair okay?” Stevie asks.

“She’s worried about you, and I think she’s a little freaked out about what happened.”

“I’ve never seen her eyes go black like that before, only other colors,” Stevie says.

“She’s back at the house waiting for you. I can portal you there while Kas and I try to find Asmo.”

Stevie nods her head and attempts to get up off of Kas’ lap, who eagerly pushes her back down. “We’ll all stick together.”

“Whatever,” I reply as Stevie tells Kas where she needs to portal to. With two quick pops, we are right back in front of Blair’s house.

Stevie and I both walk through the front door and as soon as Kas attempts to walk past the threshold, she’s held back by Blair’s wards.

“Sorry, Kas, Blair is so much better at wards than I am. She will have to give you access.”
