Chapter 67

Sammy resisted the urge to show any sign of fear by holding Cain's hand and instead let her gaze roam the church. The purple hues from the spectrum light box weren't showing any shadows, but something was close. There was a charge in the atmosphere and the distinct sensation of someone watching her. The room grew hotter yet, and sweat dripped from her temple to her jaw. Her back was soaked. But whatever was here hadn't touched them. The salt ring was working.

"We need to amp it up," she whispered to Cain.

He eyed her with an are-you-insane.

"It hasn't hurt us." She pointed to the salt ring she'd poured on the floor.

He swallowed and nodded slowly. "We still need to get out of here tonight." The warning in his expression said be careful, but go for it.
