"Eden!" He sobbed down in the phone.
He had quickly realized that the guard wasn't listening to him at all but just saw him as a thief so he retreated to the fitting room, yanked the pants off, threw them on the floor in a rage, put on his own clothes and ran out of the store while dialing Eden's number.
"He took her!" He sobbed.
"Fuck!" She said on the other end. "I'm so sorry, Elias."
"We found a solution but I don't know if it'll work. What if she isn't strong enough to remember me?" He asked.
"I can try with some magic, a simple little memory spell, but I can't make any promises. I've never dealt with this demon before. I've only heard stories and no one's ever survived him," she said.
"Just do whatever you can. It can't hurt, right?" He asked hopefully. "I'm on my way to your house."
Mallory let Finn lead her by her hand. She followed him blindly. He could take her anywhere he wanted. She just knew she had to be near him. She kept her eyes on him, not caring at all to see where he took her. She heard the sound of a metal door closing and when she finally looked around, she was in a room she had never been in before.
"Wow," she muttered as she tilted her head back and saw how high there was to the ceiling. "It almost feels like being in a church."
"No church," he chuckled. "I'd never set foot in one."
"Can you even?" She asked.
"Even if I could, I wouldn't," he answered.
He moved around her and moved her hair to one side. She dropped her purse as his lips landed on her neck, feeling herself being pulled into his arms.
"You look stunning in light brown," he said as he slid the straps on her dress down her shoulders, sending the dress to the floor. "But you look even better without it."
"Finn!" She whimpered lowly.
"That's right, keep saying my name," he opened her bra and sent it to the floor as well.
"Finn," more of a moaning this time.
"I'm all you'll ever need," he slid his hands down her sides. "Tell me you want me."
"I want you," she said.
"You want me to take you?" His hands stopped on her hips.
"Yes," she whimpered again. "Take me, Finn. I'm yours."
He chuckled as he kissed down her spine until he crouched behind her. He hooked the waistline on her panties and slid them down her legs. He gave each of the buttocks a kiss before kissing his way back up her spine.
"I'll take you, alright," he promised in her ear. "I'll be the last man to ever touch you."
He placed a hand on her neck and slowly forced her to bend over. As she went forward, her eyes landed on something black on her thigh. There in big letters written with a black pen was a name.
"Elias," she mouthed silently as she ran her fingers over it.
It felt like a whisper at first, someone trying to push through inside her brain, as if someone was looking through a tiny crack, trying to get through to get to her. She looked at the name again and the crack seemed to widen. All of the sudden it felt like he came crashing through so fast, memories flooding her brain, the image of him standing there.
"That's right, down you go," Finn said as he pushed her down on all four.
She had to get out. He had lost all control over her but he didn't know that. She reached for her purse next to her, hoping he wouldn't notice anything and that she would get the dagger in time. She heard him pull down his pants at the same time as her fingers closed around the dagger. She pulled it out of the purse at the same time as he went down on his knees behind her. One hand landed on her right hip and she turned left fast, pushing the dagger into his chest, hoping she had hit his blackened heart.
"What the..." He mumbled as he fell back on his ass.
"The last man that will ever touch me is Elias," she said.
"I don't understand," he spat out some blood.
"Go back to hell where you belong!" She sneered.
She used all the strength she had as she pushed the dagger further into him. He gurgled for a few seconds and then everything went dead quiet.
"I got her!" Eden shouted.
Elias looked at her. She had been sitting with a map, trying to use a location spell.
"Get up and let's fucking go!" He shouted.
They ran to his car and he stepped on the gas while she directed him. It seemed like they entered another dimension as they went through a dirt road into a dark forest. Suddenly what almost looked like a cathedral came into sight. He stopped the car and they both had to swallow at the sight.
"The devil's lair," she said.
"I'm scared to go inside," he said.
"I won't lie. Me suddenly locating her was no coincidence. One of them is dead," she said.
"Don't tell me it's her. It can't be her," he begged.
She opened her mouth to say something but was cut off as the metal door suddenly opened and Mallory came walking through. She was dressed and held the bloody dagger in one hand and her purse in the other. Elias jumped out of the car and ran to her, catching her just in time before she fell to the ground.
"I did it!" She cried. "I did it, Elias!"
"You did good, sweetheart," he held on to her tightly.
Eden walked over to them, gently taking the dagger from Mallory's hand. She smiled as she saw the blood on it.
"You did really good, Mallory," she agreed with Elias. "I can use his blood to cast a spell that will make sure he'll never walk this earth again."
"You wanna go cut off his dick before we leave?" Mallory asked. "It's already out in the open."
"Tempting," Eden laughed. "But this will do."
Elias placed a kiss on Mallory's lips before drying her eyes first and then his own.
"Let's go home," he said.
"By the way, I want a tattoo," she said.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"If more of these fuckers wanna come to earth and dance with me, I'll have your name tattooed on my thigh," she answered.
"Property of Elias," he smirked. "I like that."
They started walking towards the car and once they reached it, he leaned down again to give her another kiss.
"By the way, we're so fucking getting married now," he said.
"Wow, it only took a demon coming up here to try and steal me from you to make you pop the question," she chuckled.
"You guys know that marriage doesn't stop a demon like Finn, right?" Eden cut in.
"Doesn't fucking matter," he smiled at Mallory. "I wanna marry my girl more than anything in the world."
