Outbreak

"Azger!" I nearly screamed at the computer as I slammed by hand on the desk, but the message was too corrupted for me to understand the rest of their frantic call. I swiveled around quickly to Luc and he took a shaky breath as he met my gaze. 

"I'm still no smoother–"

"I don't care. Lee will forgive me," I insisted, clinging to the hybrid as he wrapped his arms around me, and I felt the subtle heat start to spread as he summoned his demonic power. I buried my face into his chest as the flames engulfed us quickly, teleporting us from my bedroom to the Underworld. It was only a quick moment, but the difference was immediate as I felt the air grow thick and stifling. 

We separated quickly and Luc grabbed my hand as he headed for the door of his bedroom. As soon as he threw it open, the palace around us shook and I felt my heart pound even more as I considered what Azger had said.
