she hissed at me. “You are evil, you’re a daemon! Stay away!”Maggie made the sign of the evil eye with her hands and I felt struck with a bolt of pain, making me stagger backwards and into something solid. Steel arms circled round me and I couldn’t move. Warm breath caressed against my ear.“You’re human. Do you know what we do to humans, kitten?”I struggled to get away, but I couldn’t move. Anton came up and jabbed me in the chest, laughing. “You’re going to pay now, you ape.”I lashed out with my foot, trying to kick him, but Trekkie pointed at me and a bolt of blue light hit my leg, transforming it into a dead weight. He cackled in laughter. Corrigan’s arms tightened round me until I was gasping for air. He was squeezing tighter and tighter, all the while whispering into my ear about the punishment he was going to wreak on everyone I’d ever come into contact with. I couldn’t breathe and little lights started to dance in front of my eyes. I tried to scream for help, but nothing came out of my mouth and I was feeling fainter and fainter. Something grabbed hold of my arm and started to shake it. It was the cat that I’d tripped over in the street. Its teeth had latched onto my flesh and were burrowing their way through. Blood starting to seep through my skin, making the cat’s fur catch alight, but it kept on shaking and shaking and….I woke up. A figure wearing a brimmed hat was standing over me, clutching my arm and shaking me awake. Solus.“How…? What…?” I stuttered, wrenching my arm away from him.“How did I find you?” he inquired, moving his face close to mine. “What do I want? Why that’s easy, spitfire. I am Fae. Did you really think that I wouldn’t be able to follow you here? And as for what I want, well I think you know the answer to that.” His teeth gleamed in the darkness. “You owe me an answer.”I pushed myself up to my feet and folded my arms. “Solus, I promised you, didn’t I? You’ll get your answers. Just right now help me out a bit. Where exactly am I?”He took off his hat with one swift smooth movement and flicked his blond hair to the side, snorting. “That one’s easy, my little chinchilla.”“Chinchilla? Fuck off, Fae.”“Actually, I think it fits rather well.” He reached out and tried to chuck me under the chin but I dodged away and glared at him.Solus laughed. “Chinchilla are quiet, shy and highly strung creatures. Attributes that seem to fit you particularly well.”“Fuck you.” I kicked out at him but this time it was his turn to dodge.“Then tell me what you’re doing here, Mackenzie.” He drawled out my name with emphasis.“What do you mean? I’m making sure the mages don’t catch me so I’ve got time to sort out what I can do to save Mrs Alcoon and sort out this fucking mess.”“No,”
