Chapter 95: Demon in Dragon's Clothing

"No!" Megan choked out against Levx's hold. Her friend Alice fell to the floor, the devils swarming over her body.

"Time to die, human," Levx snarled. His fingers on her throat were like an iron grip and she had no weapon, the bottle of ketchup she'd been holding fell from her grip as soon as he had grabbed her.

Darkness danced at the edge of her vision. She kicked at him again but he was so strong and held out away from his body. Her nails raked down his hand, the stench of sulfur stronger. Is that what people smelled before they died? And Alice...her friend needed help...no way was Megan going to give up and let this bastard kill her or Alice.

Taking a chance, she groped in her pocket for her keys. Her fingers fumbled. She couldn't breathe. Please work, please work.

Her hand shook as she brought the keys up and slammed them into his eye. Levx howled, dropping her. It was an inhuman sound that made her stomach clench.

"Alice!" She scrambled over to her friend.
