Hells Heaven

Chapter Seven

My ears are ringing, I shake my head and realise I'm lying on a very hard surface. Great, who the hell knocked me out. As I sit up my eyes aren't really able to focus so I close them, then do the whole pat myself over to make sure I'm still intact. This is when I realise I'm in my demoness form, which leaves me with a choice stay like this or revert back. I decide I'm harder to hurt and slightly taller like this, plus I've probably stretched my clothes out.

Slowly I open my eyes, well I'm not in the street, that's for sure. I'm in a stone walled room, underground by the lack of windows and smell of damp earth. Also, someone took my shoes and my box is missing. Great just great. Kidnapped, Urban is going to be pissed.

"Uh-um," I turn to the sound to see the sexy shifter sitting at the desk and chair, next to a prison type door with those little portholes in that you can shove food through.

"About time you woke up, you've been out a good few hours." his voice is hypnotic.

"okay, so why am I here, what do you want and where is my box? Oh! And my shoes?"

He seems to ignore me and carry on scribbling on his paper, back still to me. So I decided to wait him out, and while I was waiting I started to look for any sort of escape route.

" Don't bother, Princess. You won't be leaving this room even if I left the door wide open and cleared all my people out. Look at your feet." okay so he knows who I am and what I was thinking, didn't have to sound so smug about it.

I looked to my feet, a devil trap. Okay, Mr smug obviously doesn't know everything.

" well I refer again to what I already said what do you want? " I took this moment to revert back to form it only took seconds to close my eyes and change. Either way he couldn't hurt me whilst I stood in the circle. Best thing about a devil trap it works both ways, no one out, no one in.

"I will be back in a while I have things to deal with, have fun princess and don't go anywhere." he chuckled as he got up and walked through the door leaving it open. I heard him whistle while he walked away.

What the hell is going on? Who the hell is he? Why the hell? OK I could probably sit here all day asking myself questions, but maybe I should find my box get some shoes and get the hell out of here. Taking a few seconds to calm myself I slowly walk toward the door.

I peak around the door frame, the left looks exactly the same as the right. Leaning back in I take a deep breathe cast a very easy concealment spell and take the right side of the passage as sexy shifter went left. Keeping my back flat to the wall I start very slowly crab walking. All my senses are on high alert waiting for the first sign or sound. I manage 2 corridors before I even hear a noise.

A tall red haired women is stood talking to a very short dark haired man. I'm to far away to hear exactly what is being said but I can see that they both are holding my box. I creep closer in the hopes I can hear anything and maybe follow whoever ends up with it.

By the time I get close enough they're conversation has stopped and the women is left holding the box. The man takes one last look at it nods and walks away. The scarlet haired women finally turns and starts walking towards me. The way she moves she's definitely a shifter of some kind. I get my first look at her face. She is beautiful, she's tall slender, but shapely her hair frames her perfectly round face, she has deep red lips a small nose and gorgeous Amber eyes. I'm completely struck dumb and feel this instant connection with her like I've known her forever.

To late, I'm so focused on her and this feeling she's invoked within me. I wasn't focused enough and she's stopped in front of me placed the box on the floor, turns and her fingers wrap around my neck.

"ahhh!" both of us fall to our knees. My concealment spell shatters our eyes are connected and a searing pain rips through my hip where my S for the South compass needle is. In sinc we both put our hand to the same hip.

She takes the hand that's around my neck and holds it out to me palm up. A small rock forms and dances across it.

"North, I am earth, sister." she says.

I mimic her movements, but instead of a rock, my hand holds a flame.

"South, I am fire, sister." as soon as the final word left my mouth I'm completely overwhelmed with emotion my own and the women in front of me. I feel a deep seated connection with her, like its been there forever.

" I'm Emmie, and you need to leave. I'm going to take a piece of your hair and give you a piece of mine. Things are way to complicated give me some time, please." tears were poring down her face, I could feel her emotions. She was scared for me, but happy, she was right though I did need to get out of here.

" Come with me, please. I need you for the book and because I have no idea what just happened or this connection I feel to you. But I know the feeling of leaving you here, feels really wrong." I manage to squeak out through my own tears.

Emmie picks up the blue box and hands it to me she then digs around in her pocket and hands me a key.

"Go down this corridor, take the left till you come across stairs go up, turn right, go through the first door. Once outside that key is for my motorbike it's the red one. Now go I'll come to you in 3 days, or once I get him onside and explain that he needs you. Go, Luna please." taking one last look in her eyes gripping the hair, box and key as tight to myself as possible, I run as fast as I can, following the directions Emmie gave me. All the while praying that leaving her wasn't a mistake.
