lanes.
As I take in the scene before me I notice that all the others are just as shocked as I am. “They must be here for the transfer of powers to the Demons. I bet it's some kind of ritual- like the next leader to the Demons- or something,” Yashira says to me, and I nod my head in agreement.
The Demons are acting like we don't exist. They are wrecking the place to the point where the roof should collapse, but luckily it doesn't. About ten minutes pass before Sebastian gives us the okay to track down Rebecca, Alana, and John.

Rebecca
I can't believe my eyes when the office door opens There, in the entryway, is an onslaught of Demons- big, nasty-looking things with blisters and warts all over their faces and bodies. I have to keep my mind calm as they enter one by one into this small space. My assumption is that they are here for the spell I'm supposed to perform to transfer Annie's power into them. This Jeffrey character does in fact appear to be the boss since all these Demons keep bowing their heads to him as they enter the office.
They grab a hold of Alana who appears frightened. I'm glad we decided to take her- otherwise they would have no choice but to smell my fear and our plan would be ruined; as it is, she is providing a nice distraction.
"Look at this- the almighty Alana caught by a little possessor Demon! Does that make you feel less powerful or just plain stupid for mistaking them for your beloved Covenant members?" a Demon with pus oozing out of some wart-looking things on his face says to her with the kind of laughter that only one who thinks they are winning would make.
"I'm not stupid. I knew from the beginning something was off... I just didn't think it was this," she says matter-of-factly. "But I'm not worried. They will find me and help me. Just wait and see."
That gets the Demon pissed. He is about to send her flying but I step up to him and block his hand from touching her. "You will not hurt her," I say to him in an authoritative tone. "We need her to perform the spell in case this body doesn't work," I say, pointing at my body.
"Fine. But the bitch will pay after we're done," he says and walks away before anything else can be said.
"We need to keep our cover. This has to work. Don't upset them anymore; if I keep stopping them from hitting you they're going to start to suspect something," I say to her through my Alpha bond. All she does is nod her head- slightly- to show that she acknowledges me. Then she sits on the floor in the far corner, away from everyone and everything.
I stand a little bit away from them but not so far that they could suspect anything. John is thankfully standing with me, too, and we are kind of creating a wall between Alana and the Demons. I am glad to have him back.
"They're here. My pack and our Covenant are here. Why would they come in here without me telling them to?" I ask them both.
"Maybe they couldn't get a good read on you with all these Demons around," they both respond.
"They could be blocking your powers- or maybe they read your mind and saw the Demons. I would have come in, too," Alana says.
Of course they would. I know Sebastian and Wyatt would both go to hell to save me. But this is risking a lot.
So, I take a bigger risk, hoping that our group is prepared to fight. I step up to the master and say “Sir, I sense some activity going on in the lanes.” What a good little lackey I am!... except that I am making sure to keep the bond open while I ‘warn’ Jeffrey about them being here to put them on alert that Jeffrey would be sending Demons after them.
Jeffrey sniffs the air and immediately gets a pissed-off look on his face. It looks misplaced on Dave’s body but I am past thinking I can save him. “They figured it out already. They're here! The fucking Covenant is in this bowling alley. We need to take care of them, now! We need to perform the spell tonight in order to collect all of their powers- including the ones they have
