Chapter 312: Alien Caught

BOOK SIX: ALIEN CAPTURED

Susannah slammed the trapdoor over the crudely dug pit she'd caught her enemy in. "I've got you now, devil, you won't be haunting innocent women in these mountains again," she crowed. She caught a glimpse of a stick protruding from a muscled green shoulder as the door slid in place with a metal screech.

The trapdoor was designed to slide over the pit with a lock to keep prisoners in. The lock slid eas-ily in place, and she frowned down at it. Did it used to be this clean or easy to slide over the pit? She shrugged. There wasn't time to think about it now. From inside the pit, something scraped against the dirt wall and a growl rumbled up from the depths of the dark hole.

Susannah inched out of his sight, half convinced the devil would try to climb out. He might be trapped inside the pit, but he could reach through the gaps in the trapdoor and grab her.

"Female." He sure didn't sound human.
