Guardian of the Hellmouth Read Online Free PDF

I’ll
     
keep doing it until you’re old and grey!”
“That won’t work Cass and we both know it.” She sighed, “I
     
can’t keep putting you in danger. You and I both know I’ve
     
caused you enough trouble. There must be some other way…”
     
Her voice lowered and Cassandra grew quiet, painful memories
     
assailing them both. The silence was awkward and unsettling,
     
and it was Cassandra who finally found the strength to break it.
     
“There’s another Hellmouth I know of. Her name is Naomi and
     
she may be able to help you.” She said tightly, shuffling papers
     
around to find the last letter she’d received from the woman.
     
“The last time I talked to her she’d joined the Peace Corps and
     
was living in the Fitzgerald River National Park near Perth
     
Australia. You could talk to her, maybe she knows how to avoid
     
the demons or make them stop attacking.” She offered and
     
Kailani felt hope flutter to life in her chest.
     
“That’s great, what’s her phone number, I could call—”
     
“Uh…well about that…”
“Cassandra…” She said in a warning tone, knowing there was
     
something she omitted. The woman just chuckled nervously.
     
“Well, they don’t really have telecommunication in the park.
     
When I said last time I talked to her, I meant the last time she
     
sent me a letter…Snail mail…” The hope crumbled to dust inside
     
of her.
     
“Meaning…What? I have to write her a letter and send it to god
     
knows where and hope she gets it?”
     
“No. You could always just go see her. It would be much
     
quicker, and thankfully it’s not that long of a plane ride from
     
Honolulu to Australia.”
     
“…Are you insane?!”
     
“Now Kai, don’t yell….”
     
“I can’t take a demon on a plane to Australia! What am I going to
     
say when customs stops us and asks why he doesn’t have an
     
identity? ‘Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was illegal to bring my
pet demon aboard a plane’?!” She shrieked, jumping out of her
     
skin when Leviathan suddenly appeared next to her, his brows
     
creased.
     
“I am not a pet.”
     
“It won’t be that bad! You’ll just have to get some identification
     
for him. It can’t be that hard, they do it in the movies all the
     
time.”
     
“Those are movies Cassandra. As in fiction !”
     
“But yeah, all fiction is based on reality.” She rebutted and
     
Leviathan nodded slightly.
     
“She’s right.” Kailani glared up at him.
     
“No one asked you demon man!”
     
“Don’t yell at it Kai, it has feelings.”
     
“I am not a goddamn fucking it!” He growled, baring his fangs,
     
which Kailani ignored.
“We’re getting off topic.” She said, her body shaking as she
     
fought back her anxiety. How in the hell was she going to pull
     
this off? “Why do we have to go all the way to Australia,
     
Leviathan seems to know a lot about…this crap, why can’t he
     
just tell me what I need to know?”
     
“You really expect me to know how to keep a Hellmouth alive?”
     
He asked and she frowned up at him.
     
“Well, aren’t you all knowing or something?” She heard
     
Cassandra snort into the phone.
     
“Puh-lease. Maybe if he didn’t spend all his time locking himself
     
away he’d know something . Goddamn hermit demon.” She said
     
and Leviathan growled.
     
“The point I’m trying to make is, I have no idea how to get you
     
what you want Hellmouth. I specialize in making things very,
     
very dead, not keeping them alive.” Kailani just pursed her lips
     
and turned back to the phone.
“This is freaking ridiculous! You’ve sent me the most useless
     
demon ever!”
     
“You’re not exactly a cup of tea either princess.” He said and she
     
opened her mouth to tell him where he could shove his opinion
     
but Cassandra cut her off.
     
“Hey! Off topic here!” Kai grit her teeth.
     
“You’re right. Let’s just get this
