Curse of the Black Dahlia: PT2

Chapter 44: Zain

"What?! Why is he coming here?"

"He must've known that you two were having a child." Says Erebus in his usual gruffed voice.

"Zain, it feels like he's weaker than he usually is." Says Nikki. "We can take him."

"No." I say. "Hecates any way to get our kid out of her?"

"Yes. But Nikki also needs to do it as well."

"I'll help."

"Why? Hecates said, "Nikki," not, "Zain."

"I'd rather have Nikki do it."

"Fine, she dies. You're following her."

Hecates just smiles and goes back to the Nikki and starts doing some sort of incarnation, and Nikki follows suite. They were whispering and, like a goldy-coloured glow, came from Nikki's stomach. "Good news. The child is a boy."

"Nikki? What do you want to name him?"

"Azazel."

"After the Jewish legend and demon?"

"Yes. He's going to be powerful."

"Little Azazel, aye?"

There was a bang. Another. And another. And another. "Hecates anyway to speed it up?"

"No, just protect!" Says Hecates hurriedly. "The Osedian items are in the bag under the bed."

I cover Nikki and Hecates as rain of gunfire came flooding into the room. Fuck! Just protect, Zain! Protect them all! A few of the bullets ricochet from off of the wall and into me. I put my hands together and twisted both as my fingers were opposite to each other. A protective shield has bow gotten over both Hecates and Nikki.

"Where's Nyx?" I ask Erebus quickly.

"On the way. She's getting the bullets."

"Good. See ya!" I run out and rip the head from one demon.

"Get him! Zains there!"

I just smirk and burry my teeth into the neck of another. I ran to two men and jumped and stuck the hidden blade into the throats of the two. As I land, I throw the second man at the wall, and by the force of how I through him, he had just exploded. I ran to another and grabbed his throat. I put my hand a flame, and now his throat is burning.
