Free Nephilim by Sammy King Page B

her knees up to chest as she stared into her mug lost in thought.
    “It sure is. Any closer on who let that evil prick out?” she asked.
    Kade shook his head and pulled the chair out beside her flopping down into the seat and leaning his head back, running both hands through his long dark hair.
    “No, nothing, there are no Demons, no affiliations, nothing, it’s like he just was able to one day break free. I don’t understand it, he is locked away for centuries and then one day wham he’s free and wanting war” Kade said.
    They both turned to the doorway when they heard it open and Travis smiled a weak smile as he timidly came forward. The shirt was tight across his chest and Ada could make out the muscles that seemed to ripple underneath, she felt her groin begin to tingle and she shook her head. She watched as Travis poured himself a tea and ran his hands through his damp hair, which too seemed to have lengthened. Ada glanced at Kade who was staring at Travis also, his face pulled into a frown.
    ‘What is it?’ she asked Kade’s mind.
    ‘Do you notice anything different about him?’ Kade asked turning to look at her.
    Ada nodded slightly and touched her hair; Kade nodded also and brushed his chest. Ada frowned. So it wasn’t just her that noticed that Travis had suddenly changed physically.
    ‘It’s like he isn’t human anymore’ she said.
    Kade’s frown deepened and he nodded again. Travis looked up and caught both Ada and Kade staring at him, his smile faltered slightly as he looked between the two of them.
    “What?” he asked sitting down at the table in front of them.
    “It’s well, you’ve changed. It’s like you’ve suddenly got stronger, different. You didn’t have all this definition a few days ago, your hair has grown faster than a human’s hair. I can’t explain it. But there is something different about you, something a little less human” Ada said watching Travis’s face visibly pale.
    “But I have a heartbeat, I’m alive, the Demon didn’t kill me” he said looking between Ada and Kade.
    Ada sent her feelers out trying to sense what Travis was thinking or feeling. His eyes snapped to Ada and he stood straighter suddenly.
    “I felt you, just then, I felt you in my body, like you were going through my system. I didn’t feel you before. But just then I did.” he said, backing up towards the counter.
    Ada turned and looked at Kade.
    “He shouldn’t have been able to feel that, Dad what the hell is going on?” she asked.
    Kade shook his head as he slowly stood.
    “I don’t know, but I’m going to go and speak with the Authority, Travis I want you to stay with Ada, you are not to leave her, you could be in real danger” he said turning to Ada. “I’m sending Frankie here to keep surveillance, something is not right and I can’t put my finger on what it is, but it’s not right”
    Kade left the house; Ada put her face in her hands and breathed out a sigh. She felt completely exhausted. As she leaned her head onto her knees a loud knock on the door gave her a fright and she looked up at Travis and then the clock on the wall. It was 3am and it was too soon for Frankie to arrive, her Father had not long left, which meant he would have only just called Frankie. Ada sent her feelers out, the presence at the door wasn’t human it was an energy she recognised but couldn’t place it.
    “Ada it’s Dane, I can feel you trying to sense me” she heard through the door.
    Ada breathed out a loud sigh as she stood from the table and went to open the door. Dane smiled warmly, but didn’t step into her house right away.
    “Are you coming in?” she asked with a frown.
    “Do you want me to?” Dane replied.
    Ada frowned and waved her hand dramatically allowing him into her home. He stepped in through the door and glanced around the room. Dane frowned and his smile dropped as he noticed Travis standing in the doorway.
    “Dane is it?” Travis said stepping forward with his hand
