CITY OF EVIL

Part 17

Reficul pulled away from Lucinda. 'I'm all demon Luc. Are you sure that you can handle me?'

'Yes.'

He smiled returning to his human form. 'Come with me. Bring our child into this world together.'

'What?' she said confused.

'I've planted my love inside you. Don't freak, but it has a little demon in it too. It's a gift from me to our offspring.'

Footsteps echoed in the distance, becoming clearer as they got closer. Reficul looked at Lucinda. 'Are you coming Luc?'

'Yes. I want to be with you, I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to be in this place without you.'

He pulled them both to their feet and ran.

Lucinda's hand slipped from his as the city people pulled her away. He turned back looking at her. 'Luc!'

'Go.'

'No.'

'Go. Go without me. I'll be okay.'

'N..' he began as a shot was fired. The bullet went through into his heart.

'Reficul!' She screamed. Trying to set herself free from the cities people.

'The demon is dead!'

'NO!' she screamed, tears rolling down her face.

Alena's eyes shot open. The light seeped through the tattered curtains. Exodus's ice blue eyes stared into her dilated ones. 'What's wrong?'

'He was his human form when he died.'

'Are you sure?'

'Yes. Mom was coming here with him. He told her that I was inside her. They shot him as they tried to leave. Mom was in pieces.'

'I'm so sorry Alena.' He said placing his arm around her.

'He gave me a gift too.'

'What?'

She looked at him. 'Nothing.'

'Come on Al. You can tell me.'

'I'm like you.'

'What?'

'A demon. It was a gift to me from him.'

'Did your mother have any other children?'

'No. I was the only one.'

'So you're a demon. I knew that already, that's why you're special Al. but this changes everything.'

'How?'

'You can pull in the punters. You have no need to kill, just welcome. What you say?'

'No!'

He placed his hand on her face. 'Please Al. You are part of me now, all I need is for you to meet and greet. The guys will do the rest.'

'I..'

'Just say yes.'

'Okay.' She sighed defeated.

He looked at her.

'Yes. I'll do it okay!'

He smiled. Leaning forward placing his lips on hers kissing her hungrily.
