the
     
wound closed. With his free hand he reached into her pocket and
     
tugged her cellphone free.
     
“Call your witch.” He breathed against her quickly healing flesh,
     
peeling himself off of her and going to fish her another shirt out
     
of her bag. Kailani could only stare at him at first, then down to
     
her pain free shoulder that looked almost as good as new.
     
“What did you do?” She asked but he didn’t answer her, kneeling
     
over her bag and unzipping it quietly instead. Shaking her head to
     
clear it she sat up straight from her drunken position against the
     
mirror, quickly dialing Cassandra who answered on the first ring.
     
Her mind screamed at her to ask questions, to make him explain
     
what just happened to her but the rational part of her knew they
     
had no time for chit chat.
     
“Are you alright?! Jesus Christ Kailani! Everyone’s freaking
     
out!”
“Freaking out? Why?”
     
“Because your demon stalkers are all over the news. They say
     
some kind of meth lab experiment went wrong and released
     
invisible creatures onto the streets of Honolulu, there’s live video
     
footage and everything!” She said and Kai groaned. Just what she
     
needed; casualties.
     
“Did anyone get hurt?”
     
“Only a few minor injuries, luckily they were after only you so
     
they didn’t really stop to prey on the innocent if you catch my
     
drift.” Lucky indeed.
     
“Alright. We made it to the airport. What are we going to do
     
now? They’ll find us eventually and we’ll have to explain the
     
other demons as well as Leviathan.”
     
“I solved that. You’re going to purchase two seats, right after you
     
cast a spell of invisibility over Levi.”
“Say what? I can’t cast spells!” She shrieked, grimacing as her
     
voice echoed back at her.
     
“Oh sure you can, you’re a Hellmouth, you’re a walking spell
     
casting machine! Besides I can’t do it because I’m not there, and
     
Levi is a demon, they can’t use Witch Magic.”
     
“And why not?” She asked as the demon in question turned with
     
another t-shirt in hand. She took it and quickly slipped it on after
     
putting Cassandra on speakerphone.
     
“Because witch magic is light magic and as a demon I can’t cast
     
it.” He answered for her.
     
“Right, but you can because you’re not a demon, you just have
     
access to their power.” She added, flipping pages in one of her
     
spell books until she came upon what she was looking for. “This
     
one’s easy, all you have to do is say the words and poof Levi is
     
invisible and you can both board the plane before the nastiness
     
gets you.” Cassandra said and Kailani looked skeptical.
“Remember all you have to do is believe.” Leviathan gave her a
     
smug grin and she rolled her eyes.
     
“Alright fine. Give me the spell.”
     
“It’s a Chameleon spell, and from the wording I could swear it
     
was written for Levi.”
     
“I wish you’d stop calling me that. My name is Leviathan, I am a
     
demon not a pair of denim pants.” He growled but they both
     
ignored him.
     
“Just give me the spell Cass.”
     
“Alright, repeat after me: Dragon fog and chameleon sight I
command thee. Shrouded sea I bend the mist, I mix the light
Refract around behind me… ” The moment she started chanting
     
Leviathan’s face seemed to change, darkening with something
     
Kai couldn’t identify, “ Wrap thee in shadows thick as night,
silence his footfalls, and hide thine flight. ” She finished.
     
“I feel stupid and I haven’t even said it yet.” Kailani gave the
     
phone a droll look and to her surprise it was Leviathan who
     
growled in frustration.
     
“You’re standing in front of a demon and you’re honestly
     
doubting the existence of magic? Open yourself up to the world
     
around you, you’re not in Kansas anymore little girl.” He said
     
and she stared at him for a full second before growling
