“Xaver brought her to Hell.”

He leapt to his feet. “What!”

Monnie had said Xaver would probably do something like that—bring her to a Hell dimension until she gave birth, where she couldn’t be reached by anyone. How could I have forgotten something like that?

“We need a way to summon a demon,” I said in a rush, my mind and heart racing too fast. “Is there a spell for that?”

“Not that I know of. Maybe a level three?” He put the crystal necklace back around his neck.

There was no way for me to get to Marla to ask her.

Maybe I could find another level three witch or sorcerer and force them to perform a summoning spell, if that even existed. But I didn’t have time to go knocking on doors and ask every single person what kind of supernatural they were. There would be a lot of confused humans in the mix, too.

Who else did I know who could help us?

Wait… Maybe humans were just what I needed.

“Do you have a car?” I asked.

He pulled his keys out of his pocket, looking extremely confused, and pointed across the street. “The blue Toyota there. Why?”

“Let’s go. I’ll fill you in on the way.” Sprinting toward his car, I waved for him to follow. “I’m driving.”
