Chapter 42 - Mislaid

"Hurry, hurry!" I insisted, unable to help my impatience as the car moved far too slowly down the road. Even though the demons driving were speeding well above the legal limit, the vehicle still didn't feel like it was moving fast enough. If only I hadn't fallen, if only I still had my wings and full power, I could have teleported instantly to the gate. But maimed and sealed as I was, I could only pound the back of the seat as my heart pounded in my chest. I still held Luc's hand in mine, and I knew he shared my worry and fear from the way he returned my squeeze. Despite our guesses, we still had no idea exactly how Adam planned on using Sarai, and I was not willing to risk my twin's life on the hope that he might not kill her.
