"Mark! Please untie me," Jack asked, looking up at me with his glowing blue-silver eyes.

"Jack… I…" I said. I was being cautious.

"Babe. It's me. I'm not going to do anything. You can trust me. I'm not Sean," he said.

"Okay, I will untie you, but I am still going to be on full guard until I know I can trust you. Mekiah is right here, too, armed and ready for anything.

"Understood," he nodded.

I moved to him and snipped the zip tie that was secured around his wrists. As soon as the band snapped I took a step back, but Jack just sat there, rubbing his wrists. He smiled, seeming to be himself, yet not himself.

"I wanna look in a mirror." He said, smiling, and I chuckled.

"Just for the record, you look amazing," I told him, unable to take my eyes off of his. The blue-silver glow his eyes had captivated me. They were stunning.

Jack bounded up the stairs two at a time, giggling and whooping, letting out a "BOOPER DOOPER! HERE COMES JACKADEMON! HAHAHAHA!" His silliness made me laugh, and I could tell he was the same Jack, my Jack, just… more powerful.

I could hear him laughing while he was upstairs checking out his new look in the bathroom mirror. "It looks like I'm wearing fucking contacts!" he yelled, and I turned to Mekiah, smiling.

"That went better than I hoped," I said, looking at her with my shining, golden eyes.

"Yeah. I sense that he is the same Jack we love, but one thing concerns me," she said.

"What?" I asked, the smile fading from my face.

"When this Jack is happy, he is really happy. What happens when this Jack gets angry?"

What happens?

"I have to admit, well for me anyway, when I change, every feeling, every sense, every sight, smell, sound and taste are intensified immensely. I assume it is going to be the same for Jack. Let's just hope he can channel any anger or aggression where we need him to," I said.

"Yeah, like at Sean. If Sean succeeds and gets into Sarah like he plans…" Mekiah's eyes filled with tears and she dropped her eyes to the floor, "We are going to have to kill her. Again."

I hugged Mekiah and held her for a moment when Jack came back down the stairs. "How did I miss the love fest?" he said, and came to wrap his arms around both of us, then bouncing like an idiot and clapping his hands.

I was thinking about what Mekiah said earlier, that if Sean managed to get to Sarah that we would have to kill her, and I knew she was right.

I took a deep breath and prepared myself for what I was about to say.

"Okay, listen. What I am about to say is gonna sound really fucked up, but please hear me out," I said to both of them. I stepped back. "I think we should find Sarah, let Sean take her, then kill her… I mean him."

They both looked at me like I had two heads. Mekiah was immediately angered.

"That's a really fucked up thing to say," Mekiah said angrily.

"But," Jack cut in, "what Mark says makes sense. It isn't Sarah. Sarah is dead. She is gone. What is here is purely a meat suit."

"And," I took over, "if we let Sean take her, we can kill him, since he won't be in Jack anymore."

"So, if I agree to this, we have to figure out one more thing…"

"What's that?" I asked her.

"How do we kill a demon?"

Jack and I changed back to ourselves, then we started scanning the Book of Angels and the Book of Demons, looking for anything we could find on how to kill a demon. I figured Jack would have better luck finding what we needed in the Book of Demons, but I was wrong.

I found what we needed in the Book of Angels. According to Jack, the Book of Demons was filled with rituals and detailed accounts of possession and blood sacrifice. The Book of Angels was more focused on how to stop the evil described in the Book of Demons.

"Here. I think I found something," I said to him. It was written in black ink, meaning he would be able to see and read it. He was reading over my shoulder, and I when he leaned close, I could feel his warm breath on my neck.

Jack was reading what I found, and I could feel him shiver, like he read something that disgusted him. His breathing got a little heavier and I could feel the warmth of it on my neck again, and it was driving me crazy.

I turned around in my chair and looked up at him. He looked down at me, smiled and said "what?"

"Nothing. I… you are just sexy, that's all…"

Jack laughed. "Where is this coming from?" he asked.

"Your breath," I said, smiling.

"My… breath?"

"Mhmm. I could feel it on my neck, and it is making me crazy," I told him.

He knelt down in front of me and put his hands on my thighs. "Well, maybe I should take advantage of that," he said, his hands drifting farther up my thighs.

Mekiah let out an audible groan. "UGGHH! My god, get a room, you two!" she whined. Jack and I both looked at her and laughed.

"We have one… this is our house, brat!" Jack said, Mekiah just shaking her head and smiling.

There were things required to kill a demon that we didn't have in the house. Jack had his nose buried in the Book of Demons again, and I was trying to gather some things we had in the house. Mekiah volunteered to make a run to the store to gather the things that we didn't have.

I intended on taking advantage of the time she was gone. Ever since Jack changed form, I couldn't stop thinking about him… his sexy eyes and warm breath on my neck. I couldn't get the thought of his shining, silver-blue gaze out of my mind.

"I'm going to get the rest of the supplies," she said, and grabbed her keys. I was packing some things into a backpack and Jack was scribbling something in his notebook. As soon as the door shut, I walked into the kitchen where Jack was sitting at the table, head down, pen scratching furiously on paper.

I walked up behind him, and he didn't even seem to notice that I was there, until I ran my fingers through his hair. He tilted his head a little and sucked in a breath through his teeth. I ran my fingers from his hair down the back of his neck, then lowered my head to taste where my fingers trailed off near his collar bone.

I traced my fingers back up to his hair, then clenched my fists, his hair still in hand, closed my eyes, and let out a primal roar…

This is gonna be fun, I thought to myself as I felt the heat spread from my belly once again…
