Ariadne's power spread through the motel room like cool strands of silk writhing over his clothes, touching and tasting every inch of his skin, wrapping tighter and tighter until they seemed to sink into his bones, reaching for his very self. Arthur tensed, snapping into the cold, dark place he used both to raise the dead and kill the living. Distantly, he thought he heard Dom growl and felt the faint heat that meant his beast was rising nearly to the surface, but all Arthur's attention was locked on Ariadne, his eyes locked to hers, which had grown so dark they seemed to swallow all the ambient light until all he could see was their captured glow.
