DAEMON'S POV
What Zina's mother should have long realized was that no spell in the world was enough to hold him back. Not even one that seemed to stop time and everything in it.
Especially not when he was like this; going through the one demon everyone knew as grief.
He was going to escape from this place.
Take Zina with him to somewhere only the both of them would live.
He was convinced that it was the crowd around them that kept her from opening her eyes.
That Zina was merely tired and was in search of respite hence why she closed her eyes.
Yet every second that passed while time froze and Zina remained immobile roused something in him. Awakening a monster.
Reality kept sinking deeper, and his desire to cause ruin only grew in a thousand folds.
Up until then he had been doing a good job pretending Rowan and his Master didn't exist.
