\u201cI want Tony.\u201d She ignored his insult; everything he said was true, and she did know it. He\u2019d answered her question well enough. \u201cIt\u2019s really that simple. You don\u2019t belong here. Even if he\u2019s not \/my\/ Tony, there are people who love him, and miss him.\u201d Summer straightened her shoulders. With a quick motion, she hurled a mason jarful of holy water full in his face. \u201cGo home, and leave us be.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Demony had been about to reply, and he couldn\u2019t quite get his mouth shut in time, unfortunately.\u00a0 He reared back with an inhuman scream, the floor lurching once and lights shattering, but he came up short at the fire, and then stumbled forward a step.\u00a0 He doubled over and retched, spitting up a mouthful of bloody water.\u00a0 Somewhere a dog howled, before the noise cut off abruptly\u2014keep working you fetid mutt<\/em><\/strong>\u2014and left Demony staring blankly at Summer, blood running from his nose and down his chin.\u00a0 And then he sort of\u2026folded, slumping to his knees in an almost gentle manner, like a puppet with the strings cut.<\/p>\n

Tony pitched forward and caught himself on his elbows.\u00a0 He took a moment to just breathe, panting harshly, before he slowly pushed himself back up to his knees, eyes wide as he stared at Summer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The demon’s trap vanished in an instant. Summer crouched, slowly, holding out a hand as to a feral cat. “Tony?” Ah, god, the shadows in his eyes cut like knives. “Tony, you’re safe now.” Gentle fingers brushed at the blood and water on his face, so like her own loved Tony. The lines etched in were different, a few scars and marks altered, but it was achingly close, and she wanted to draw him close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
