Chapter 212: Summerlands

Alex crab-walked backward, shoving himself out of Kayla’s way as she turned, her normally bright green eyes a flaming red as she glared at him, her lips twisted up into a sneer. “Kayla, what the hell?” He slammed himself into the wall, pressing against it as he forced himself into a standing position, his hands out in front of him.

Kayla opened her mouth, but the voice that came out was not her normal, soft-spoken tone. Instead, her voice sounded gravelly and deep, sinister and male. “The young witch is no longer in control.” Kayla stood, her arms at her sides as she took a wobbly step toward Alex. The creature laughed as it examined the body it now possessed, glancing down at its arms and legs, touching itself in all the most vulgar ways. “I am Baltabek, and I now own this vessel.” He jerked a hand out, flinging power at Alex.
