Chapter 72
The fresh scent of Emma’s blood hit Gideon’s senses.
“There isn’t enough pain in the world for what I want you to feel. Is there some pit of hell I can toss you back into instead?”
“You can’t,” Michelle said as she carried Emma’s prone body to the door. “You can’t, but John can when he’s weak enough.”
“You’ll never banish me anywhere,” the demon rasped. “I’ll tear you apart.”
“Kind of hard to do if you don’t have any arms.” Or whatever they were. To make his point, he used his free hand to grab the maimed limb and slammed it upward, into the socket, until the creature shouted in pain.
As he wrestled the demon around the couch, Michelle opened the door. The scent of Jesse immediately assaulted him, and he risked a glance to see if his pet was there.
He wasn’t. Gideon was relieved. He didn’t want to have to worry about both Emma and Jesse until the demon was gone.
