It was late and late enough that Hope was sleeping and she could creep out of the house hopefully undetected. The hybrid stood waiting as minutes ticked by. The encounter was nothing like she wanted and she was growing desperate.
“I’m offering you my soul for Aurora’s life!” She reminded again, the desperation stirring up anger that the demon was refusing her. “That’s not something I can do,” she explained. “Then what good are you?”
Hayley turned her back, not caring if it was finished or whatever formalities were involved. She wasn’t going to help and if that was the case there was no point in wasting more time standing there.
“I said I couldn’t. Not that someone else can’t.”
She stopped short of a step, turning around to respond but that too was pointless. The demon had begun to summon else, and a part of Hayley wondered if it was just a set up. The woman didn’t give a clue in her expression as he vanished from sight and left the hybrid in the dark waiting. Waiting for what she couldn’t say.
