Elina’s Traitor

Damonq knew the expression on Liv's face – one of absolute remorse – should have moved him, but it didn't. Elina's silent cries were in his head. The sound of the baby screaming in helpless pain echoed through his mind.

"I accept that you are responsible for opening the safeguards and allowing the evil into the compound," Damonq told her. "You knew what you were doing, didn't you?"

Liv nodded, lifting her head up so she could look him in the eye. "I did."

"You knew that the demons waited outside the compound." He made it a statement. 

Liv looked confused. "I didn't think they could get here so fast. There were so many. They were everywhere."

"Did you know that we lost two members of our security force?" Damonq was relentless.

Danny turned as if he might help his younger sister, but Damonq waved his hand and, like Liv, the teenager couldn't move forward or back.

"Those men had families."
