Free Silverblood Demons (Daughters of Darkness Book 1) by Turhan Page A

holding each other and Coral had picked Davina up to give her a sense of comfort. We turned to look back and sure enough the resident Tutella was walking back into the Yurt. By this time Sin-dy had already transformed back into the fairytale goddess form she assumed when we first arrived, she looked spellbinding.
    Emotionally exhausted we marched toward the cottage we had been in earlier. None of us could muster even a word between us. The realization that everything we needed answers for, like, did we really have daughters that lived in Hell? How would we get them out? And the idea that the four of us could possibly hope to accomplish anything against the might of Satan’s hordes was insurmountable to say the least. We now had more questions than answers.
    I moved forward to hold Sin-dy’s hand and somehow I felt safe with her at my side. She gave me the courage, the belief, that somehow the odds that were stacked against us could be overcome.
    As we walked back into the safety of the cottage, Kira fell to her knees and began sobbing her heart out. Finally the death of her husband Boris, and the truth about her daughter Davina had caught up with her and she was letting it all out.
    We picked her back up. “Kira, we’re going to save Davina and every last one of the millions of innocent girls here too. I have a plan and need you to be strong, can you do that for me?” It was easy for me say, but inside of my gut I knew it would take every bit of strength that each of us had, and an enormous amount of luck.
    Sin-dy had her hand on my arm. “What is it Kylar? I want to help.”
    “Right about now, I could really use a brandy,” The words barely left my lips and Sin-dy had pulled open a cabinet door, placing four glasses and a bottle of Courvoisier on the table.
    “Where did you get that? How did you know I liked?”
    “I have my ways Kylar, and if we ever make it out of here in one piece, I might tell you how I know.”
    Sin-dy winked at me as she poured our drinks, then lifted her glass. “Justice for the girls!” We stood up, clinked our glasses, and in unison the four of us repeated her toast. “Justice for the girls!!!!” We knocked back the amber elixir and threw our glasses into the roaring fireplace.
    “I’m okay now,” Kira said. “Talk to me Kylar, what is your plan?”

Jade
    My sister Amber always was the brave one. Anytime we wanted to sneak outside after dark, she’d be the one to go back inside first to see if the way was clear. One time we came back in really late, like the sun was breaking over the horizon, just as Madame Tutella had woken up. My sister kept her distracted long enough for me to get back in without being noticed.
    She was forced to churn the butter by herself every day for a week, but I helped after Madame Tutella went for her meeting at six a.m. whatever that’s about!? Sometimes I would hope she’d never come back. Especially lately, she seems impatient with us and I saw her kick Coral again. There was also that time I was in the pantry and I overheard her talking to Ophelexa saying, “ The virgins will taste delicious, like veal, but sweeter.” Then they both laughed.
    I didn’t know what virgins or veal could be, but I was afraid to ask.

    “Is she sleeping?” I asked. “Is she?”
    “She’s snoring,” Amber said, pushing aside her red hair from her eyes. “I can see her drooling again, yuck.”
    “Then close her door and come in here,” I said. “I want to know what Elektra talked about to you.”
    “Don’t say anything to Coral.” I whispered, but I didn’t have to worry about speaking quietly, Madame Tutella doesn’t wake up once she’s at the drooling stage.
    “Yeah, she would have asked if she suspected anything," Looking in Coral and Davina’s direction, Amber said. “I think they’re sleeping.”
    “Well, tell me, what did she say to you? Your face was white as pastry when you came out with Elektra.”
    “Jade, I’m
