Jaza was no fool. Whatever Perdition was planning, he was prepared. He was on guard. He had sent word to every watcher hiding on earth to be ready.
Perdition had contacted Labith and told her to bring Jaza to the inn tonight. Perdition was ready to give up Camilla Dawn in exchange Jaza would leave Sam alone and not interfere with the babies.
Labith knew there was no way Perdition would just quietly hand over Camilla Dawn. She knew she was up to something. Labith had raised the once sweet girl. She knew her better than anyone.
“What do you think she is up to?” Jaza asked Labith.
Labith walked into Jaza’s chamber. It is such a dark and menacing place. Labith did not like being in closed spaces with him.
“I honestly cannot say Jaza,” Labith answered him.
“She is unique, isn’t she?” Jaza says as he moves closer to Labith. “Are you afraid, Labith?”
“Of you?” Labith asks. “No! I am not!” Labith moves in closer to Jaza. She did not like being here, but she was not afraid of him. Jaza was not as powerful as her.
“I will be ready to go when the sun goes down,” Jaza says.
“I think we should go before she is expecting us. You know just in case.” Labith suggest.
Jaza nods in agreement. “Don’t forget whose side you are on, Labith,” Jaza says.
“I am on my side,” Labith replies. She turns to leave the chamber as Jaza rushes for her. Labith opens her palm and restrains him with her mighty light. “Do not try me, Jaza. I am helping you, but I can do this with or without you.”
Labith leaves Jaza’s chamber. She has no intention of bowing down to him or anyone beneath her. He may be the watcher commander, but she is the first and foremost of all the watchers. She is the beginning, and she fully plans on being the ending.
Labith rushes out of the watcher’s chambers and back to her side of the underworld. She has plans to make. She knows a lot is about to happen and she wants to be prepared for whatever comes.
