Edriq leaped over the fence and was running hard
towards the house when he heard a scream.
The scream died almost as
soon as it started.
Edriq cursed viciously as he
kicked the front door in and barged into a blood-splattered living
room.
CHAPTER
TWENTY-FIVE
Edriq saw the bodies of a
middle-aged couple slumped on the couch. The cushions were red with
their blood and the body of the Dracan male was horribly mutilated.
From the position of his body, it looked like he had died trying to
shield his human wife, but he couldn't save her.
The female's throat had been
slit from ear to ear.
The twitching bodies of two
Slayors lay on the floor, their black blood seeping into the carpet.
Another was crumpled at the foot of the stairs, his pale, yellow eyes
open and unseeing.
Sounds were coming from the
back of the house. There was the sound of glass shattering and as
Edriq ran out the back door, he saw Zul tearing across the backyard
in hot pursuit of seven Slayors. The big guy was covered in black
blood and his face was a mask of raw, uncontrolled fury.
Edriq let his knives fly and
brought down two of the fleeing Slayors.
Zul didn't look back at him,
just kept charging after the Slayors.
Edriq saw Rohan drop out of
the air at the other end of the street, cutting off the Slayors'
escape.
Between them, Rohan and Zul
would finish off those Slayors.
Edriq turned back to the
house. The house was silent and heavy with the stench of death.
Edriq stared at the dead
couple on the couch and swallowed. He and his brothers were too late
to save them. But maybe they could save the rest.
There had to be others. It
didn't make sense to send so many Slayors just to attack a
defenseless couple.
Very quietly, Edriq pulled
out his gun and ascended the stairs. A floorboard creaked but the
sound wasn't made by him.
Edriq raced up the stairs and
saw a long, dark shape moving silently across the floor.
Edriq pulled out his gun and
shot at the Slayor, but the black serpent slithered under a door and
disappeared into a room. Screams and terrified cries pierced the
air.
He was right. There were
more Dracans in the house.
“Shit!” Edriq
wrenched at the door knob. The door was locked from the inside.
He rammed his shoulder
against the door. The door slammed open and Edriq saw two black
snakes advancing towards the bed.
The couple's three daughters
were huddled together on the bed, using their pillows as shields.
Zul had stopped the Slayors
from reaching the rooms upstairs but he had overlooked the snakes.
Two of the Slayors had shifted to snake form and slithered along the
shadows to reach the girls.
The eldest daughter was a
young woman in her twenties, and she was bravely trying to beat the
snakes back with a pillow as her two teenage sisters clung to each
other behind her.
“Get away!” she
shrieked. “Get away from my sisters!”
The smaller snake launched
itself at the youngest girl. Edriq fired three shots in rapid
succession.
The girls screamed as the
snake thudded to the floor. Its venom landed on the bed covers and
ate a hole through the fabric.
“Look out!” Edriq
bellowed as the other Slayor spat a jet of venom towards the girls.
The girls instinctively
raised their big, fluffy pillows to shield themselves. The venom
landed on one of the pastel-colored pillows that were covered with
hearts and burned through the cover. A jagged, hissing hole appeared
where a pretty, rainbow-colored heart had just been.
A knife whistled through the
air. The blade struck the snake in one eye and the Slayor screamed
as he shifted violently back to human shape.
Half blind and mad with pain,
the Slayor roared and charged straight at the three terrified girls.
CHAPTER
TWENTY-SIX
Edriq squeezed off two shots
and the Slayor jerked as the bullets burrowed into his chest. But
the bastard slowed down only to yank the knife out of his eye socket.
With a horrible non-human
cry, the Slayor raised the dripping knife and lunged forward.
