She should not have this much control over you," Sean told himself, glancing at his reflection in the rearview mirror. He needed to calm himself down. Each and every day that had passed since Adeline Lanchester had taken her daughter and fled to Sleepy Hallow, was getting harder and harder to deal with.

  The anger was overbearing.

  The anger possessed him.

  The anger was so extreme that it was driving him to the brink of insanity.

  And that was just it. It was Adeline who had taken My Little One away from me. It was not Luna who had been disobedient. It should be Adeline who is punished. It should be Adeline to whom my anger should be aimed, not Luna.

  "No," Sean spoke to the wind coming in through the open window of his Cadillac. He envisioned it carrying his message through the air to his Little One. "Even after death, you will be mine." Sean stole another glance at the sapphire eyes that glanced back at him in the rearview mirror. Yes, they were his eyes, but he knew he shared them with a demon far greater than one he could ever be.

  "We are coming, Little One," he said. He accelerated his Cadillac, heading west toward the mountains. According to his GPS, he was half way there.

  "And I will fight you for her," spoke the demon within him. This time, Sean gave the eyes in the mirror a cold, hard look.

  "And I will surely win!" Sean said, confidently.

  He grinned, mischievously, ignoring the eyes that were watching him from the mirror, eyes that where now a copper blaze. "My lust for her grows deeper than yours, Demon. And that is a part of what makes me more powerful than you! A part."

  Sean laughed. Then he settled into the seat more comfortably, for he knew there was a long drive ahead of him.

  "Adeline will pay for what she has done. She will pay! Like Dammon had paid." Sean smiled, but the reflection in the mirror did not.
