I was sitting on the edge of our bed, looking forward to some sleep before we went back in as a team. Unable to shake the chills, I had a quilt on my lap. Athen rubbed my back gently as I mentally prepared to turn back into a white demon. Turning into a mortal was a lot simpler than the other way. I wasn’t looking forward to it. “With the amount of evil that is running through that place, I don’t doubt her for thinking that,” Athen replied as his fingers glided along my shoulders sending shivers through me. “Granted I couldn’t tell for sure that she was mortal, but I think she was. Whoever is responsible is smart enough to keep some of the staff as mortals. But it makes me wonder if maybe some of the doctors are in on it or what might have started it in the first place.” I barely took a breath. Athen sat next to me and placed my hands in his. “We are going to do the best we can, but you can’t place the burden of saving everyone on your shoulders.”
