Chapter Eleven – Bad to Worse
Archemneme, and three manticores
Wyatt glances quickly at the manticores as Piper tried to freeze Archemneme. The amulet shimmered as it stopped the freezing power.
“The power to freeze an entire city,” Piper mumbled, annoyed, “and I can’t even freeze one little demon.”
One of the manticores tried to reach past the shield and jumped back.
Wyatt looked across the table at his mother. “Mom, I think we need a few potions, now.”
Piper pushed her chair back. “On it.”
“Bring Dad and Grandpa,” Chris suggested.
“I can’t hold this forever,” Wyatt added.
Piper, Leo, and Victor got out of their chairs. As they headed toward the stairs, Wyatt dropped his shield and Chris flung the first manticore backward into the other the three like bowling pins.
“So do we get rid of the ringleader now,” Chris asked, “or wait for Mom.”
The four demons began to rise. Wyatt glared at Archemneme. “I say now.”
The second manticore threw one of the vials at Chris.
“Whoa!” Chris exclaimed as he ducked.
The vial shattered as it hit the cabinet and steam began to rise.
Chris’ eyes widened. “Watch out for the vials, Wy!”
The first manticore threw a vial.
Wyatt jumped out of the way. The vial shattered and steaming water spilled to the floor. Wyatt frowned. “Well, it’s not acidic.”
The first manticore pulled out another vial and, along with the third manticore, threw a vial at Wyatt.Behind them Archemneme slipped out of the room. Wyatt ducked to avoid the vial of steaming water.
The second manticore seemed to be focusing his attack on Chris. He threw a vial at Chris.
Chris sent the vial back at the demon using his telekinesis.
The vial hit the demon, producing a scream and the manticore’s flesh began to scald. He dropped to the floor screaming.
The other two manticores both threw a vial at one of the brothers. Wyatt flung one back telekinetically at the demons, barely missing them as they jumped out of the way. Chris moved out of the way of the other one. Both vials hit walls.
Behind them, Archemneme sneaked in the other door and behind Chris. He held up his hands to the sides of Chris’ head.
Chris screamed as the demon began to again attempt his task. The pain in his mind tangible as the demon tried to take his memories.
Wyatt whirled around, throwing Archemneme out of the room with a wave of his hand.
Seeing Wyatt’s back turned, the third manticore threw a vial at him. Neither brother saw it until it hits Wyatt.
