Free Possessed by Kayla Smith

is a Demon turning into a ball of fire on top of me. Not fun. But it's nothing next to watching Milissa stagger over to Rebecca, holding her abdomen where she got slashed by a Demon, and then get sliced by none other than her would-be healer. Her screech is so loud, and filled with pain.
    I run to Milissa as Rebecca turns back into her human form. Rebecca looks torn. She shuts down and blocks me and her pack out. No one can get a read on her. I'm not sure she even realizes she's doing it. Demons come over now to pick a fight with the weak and wounded girls. I stand my ground, knowing I could die; but Wyatt and Justin back me up. We surround the two girls and take out every Demon that attacks.
    I know Rebecca is upset by what she did to Milissa, but Milissa is healed now and I need Rebecca's help! So I do something only a mate would dare do to a powerful Witch: I get in her face and say “Listen Becca- I know you have a reason to be down and upset but you need to get your ass into action! We need you. There will be time to cry later but your pack is getting weak and your Covenant is losing faith. We still have at least ten Demons- plus Jeffrey- to kill; I can’t find Alana and John; and you need to heal several members of our family. So get the hell up and help us!” I am yelling but something clicks inside her head and she nods.
    She whispers a few words over Milissa’s body and it vanishes. “Where did... what did you do to her?” I ask, surprised that she sent a body away with only a few words.
    “I sent her to the infirmary. She will land on the bed and the doctor there will be given a sign that someone is in there and needs his help,” Rebecca says without any life in her words.
    She gets up and walks to the people on the floor that need her to heal them; when she is finished she vanishes them away, too. Even though they are healed on the surface, the poison in their systems is still present. The doctors will be getting a lot of notices now to take care of them- most of the injured members were barely coherent.
    As she heals, I fight. The only people I don’t see are Alana, John, and Jeffrey. After all the Demons are killed and all our wounded are taken care of we go in search of them. I keep trying to get in Rebecca's head but it is locked up tight. She is clearly trying hard to keep a strong visage but I can see through the façade. She is hurting.  And I can't help.
    We have a few Wolves left with us: Justin, Jorge, and Eva, plus me, Wyatt, Yashira, and Rebecca from the Covenant. Rebecca is unusually quiet as we make our way around the alley. We go to the office first, but that is a total waste because it is empty and completely trashed. The filing cabinet is emptied all over the floor- and so is the desk. There are papers everywhere and not a person in sight.
    We follow Rebecca considering that she knows this place inside out. We go to the back of the lanes, behind the wall- nothing. She takes us to the bar section that is behind a locked door- nobody.
    I can feel her pain as we keep coming up empty. She is putting too much responsibility on herself and her mental barriers are coming apart. The wall that she was using to keep me and her pack out is now failing her. We all sense the emotions and thoughts she was trying to hide from us.
    Justin, ever the Beta, tries to go and comfort her, but I put my arm in the way to stop him. I shake my head, indicating that she needs to be alone, as hard as that is for me to do. I have to leave her alone, too. He nods his head at me in understanding but I know he can’t hold back the urge to comfort her much longer than I can.
    She turns on us and halts our movements. “They’re gone. Jeffrey took them. Instead of staying with them I came out here to help all of you... and now my best friend and her mate are missing. Plus I almost killed Milissa, and probably changed her into a Werewolf because I was too caught up in the fight to realize it wasn’t a Demon hand on me
