SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 36

CHAPTER 36

We blink into the club at eight thirty. We are a little late because Case wouldn't let me go. He kept telling Lisa and Cain to go on without us that we had changed our minds about going. That we were going to stay at home and have our own fun, he is so bad. The only way I could finally get him to go was to whisper in his ear that I had us a room at the inn, for the night and we wouldn't be coming back home. He understood what I meant as soon as I said it “Now you still want to stay home or have you changed your mind?” I asked him. He took my hand and yelled down the hall to Cain and Lisa “Let's go. What are you slow pokes waiting on?” I hit him on the arm and laughed. He looked back at me and moved his eyebrows up and down in the funny way I love so much. Lisa and Cain both gawk at him like he is crazy then ask me what had gotten into him.

Case looks at them “are you guys crazy I've got the chance to go show off my girl. Why wouldn’t I want to go?” They both give him that “you’re going crazy look again.”

Cain said, “Let’s go if we're going before he changes his mind again” and
we blinked straight to the club.

“Ok” Case said smiling down at me, “I really had a lot of fun. Are you ready to go now?”

Laughing I hit him on his arm again. I take him by the hand and tell him “Let’s find a table”. As soon as we sat down the waitress comes around and our order’s and returned within minutes with our drinks. Lisa and Cain took off to dance floor. “Are we just going to sit here or are we going to dance?” I asked.

“I don’t feel like dancing I’m too tired. We should go ahead and go to the hotel.” Case replied smiling.

“If you're too tired to dance that’s ok you can sit here and rest. I'll just ask somebody else if they would like to dance with me” I said smiling and acted as if I was fixing to stand up.

Case takes me by the arm. “Please don't make me have to kill somebody tonight. I've never killed a human before, but I will if I see another guy touching you.”

“Then I guess you better dance with me then…huh?” I put right back at him. He stands up takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor. His hands go around my waist and mine around his neck. “You know the last time we were here, and I saw you dancing with that door guy I thought he was going to be the first human I killed.”

Laughing I shake my head and tell him he is crazy. However, I have to admit part of me doesn’t believe he’s joking. We dance for a couple of hours. We drank a couple of beers between dances.

“Case I need to go to the restroom I'll be back in a minute”. I bend over and kiss him, he asked me if I am going to slip out the window and run away again reminding me of what I had done the last time I had been here and went out the bathroom window. Laughing I give him another kiss and tell him I'll be right back. I almost made it to the bathroom when something stuck me in the neck. I turn around and yell for Case right before I felt my mind shutting down. I saw Case jump to his feet. That was the last thing I remember seeing before everything went black.

When I come to I have no idea where I’m at but I hear someone say, “She’s awake.” I try to use my powers, but they aren't working. Probably, because of whatever they shot up me with. I hear someone coming toward me. When they come into view, I see it’s a Necromancer. “Good your awake I'm very happy about that. Now I know you know your powers aren't working, and before they have time to return I'm here to pass on a message.”

“What’s your message demon?”

“I'm here to tell you that Lucifer has your parents. If you don't want them killed, then day-after tomorrow you will meet him at this address and give yourself to him freely.”

“My parents are on the Keeper World. I'm not stupid enough to fall for that shit.”

“I don't mean the King and Queen Princess.  I mean the parents that raised you. I believe their names are Raymond and Kristie Parker.”

I feel my heart breaking. I know the demon is telling me the truth. “Give me the address" I say. I felt the moment my powers come back. I know I can just say die and every demon, here will drop dead. That’s not what I want. This time I want to kick some ass and watch as the demons die. I said “ropes” and they disappear from my body at once. I see the look on the demons faces as they realize my powers have returned. “If I'm going to have to hand myself over in two days to Satan, then right now I'm going to kill as many of you fuckers as I can.” Before I raise up I kick the Necromancer in the side of the head. I sit up look at him then say, "Burn." I watch as the demon starts burning. Then I thought about Case and the rest of my family and friends. I hate thinking they are worried about me, but I can’t let them find me until I make sure my Mom and Dad are safe. I put a wall up in my mind blocking them all out.

I leave the basement the demons had brought me to. Every time, I appear before a demon. I see the fear on their face's right before I end their lives. I kill the last demon then step out the door to freedom when I hear a voice say, “Hello Princess.”

 I know the voice. It has been over eight months since the last time I’ve heard it, but I’ve never for gotten his sexy baritone. Turning around slowly there he stands as beautiful as the last time I laid eyes on him. My Greek God, he still takes my breath away. He is staring at me his eyes running up and down my body. Making me remember the way I am dressed. I feel a blush rushing to my cheeks. What am I doing I ask myself I don’t have time for this? “We need to get the hell out of here" I say.
