Chapter 20

“Aleera!” He called, and my blood ran cold. I raced down the steps, quickly disappearing amongst the other demons.

Getting to the bottom of the steps, someone shoved me, and I hit the ground. I looked to see who it was, but too many men t o pinpoint which one, and I cried out when another stomped o n my fingers.

“There she is,” I heard Zac’s voice just before a fireball rushed toward me. I shrieked, just managing to move, and it evaporated as it hit the ground where I was.

“Let’s see how pretty she is without all that hair,” Zac’s voice says, making me look up the steps. Zac smiled, and his eyes glistened evilly as he played with another fireball bouncing it i n his hand. I took off running down the corridor. I didn’t stop running until I ended up in a hall on my own. I had no idea if h e was still intending to burn my hair off when I stopped to try and catch my breath.

“I think she went this way,” I heard Deacon’s voice. I cursed and started trying doors, finding most of them to be rooms set up with bunks, and I figured it wouldn’t be a good idea to hide i n one of their rooms. I could hear the screech of their shoes as they ran toward me before I burst through another door and quickly shut it.

Looking around, I find it is a classroom. I could hear them opening and closing doors in the corridor and looked around for somewhere to hide before spotting a jar of pens and noticing some scissors. I grab them before darting underneath the desk.

If I get out of this, the hair is going. I was chopping it off. My heart stopped when I heard the door open. I clutched the scissors in my hand as I heard footsteps walk toward the desk. The chair is dragged out, and my eyes meet with Tobias’s. He went to no doubt curse me out when Zac’s voice reached my ears, and I jumped, bumping my head on the top of the desk.

Tobias growled and sat down just as the door burst open. I froze; I even held my breath.

“What?” Tobias snapped, pushing his chair in and caging me i n with his legs.

“Shit, sorry, Sir,” I hear the door creak like Zac was about to leave before it stopped.

“Have you seen the traitor bitch?” My heart skipped a beat at Zac’s words.

“No, now get out of my fucking classroom.”

“Sorry, sir,” Zac says before I hear the door shut. I let out a breath, but Tobias doesn’t move. Glancing at the scissors, I quickly pocket them before tapping his leg. Still, he doesn’t move.

“Tobias?”
