Kaeli's run ahead of me and by the time I stagger back, she's already down by his side. But that's not what has my attention. No, no. It's the winged man made of fire that has me worried. I creep over to Lucien, checking for a pulse. There's none and I shove Kaeli aside to press my ear to Lucien's bloodied chest. Nothing. NO!

I'd do something against this creature but before I can decide what might injure a fiery demon, he takes off. Into the air. Now I've seen everything.

I turn, reaching over to pull Kaeli close. "Can you do something for Lucien?" If she can, I swear I'll be nice to her. I gesture to the where Underhill the fiery demon stood. "And who the fuck was that?"
