The bedroom door was shut.

“Amanda, get down!” Jessica screamed, cupped her mouth and hoped it would amplify the sound. She tore down the hall as fast as she could, the sound of gunfire from downstairs drowned out all else. A new sound emerged, what was that?

Shotgun? Automatic?

God, Jessica hoped it was Duncan doing the shooting. They were in the middle of a conversation that she really wanted to finish.

Jessica tore the door open and slipped inside, slammed it shut and looked around the bedroom. By the window Amanda was hunched over, her skin a pasty white. Her breathing was labored and it lit a fire under Jessica.

“Hang in there. I’m getting you out of here!” Jessica flung the wardrobe open and grabbed her shotgun, stuffing spare shells into her pockets quickly. Almost too quickly, as several rolled along the floor.

There was an army out there. Duncan might already be dead. Jessica had to keep her head straight, but it was swirling out of control.

Amanda moaned and crashed down to her knees. “It’s bad Jess. It’s never been this bad.” Her eyebrows furrowed together and her sweat gleamed in the moonlight. “There’s something with them…something…” Her mouth was open frozen in horror—maybe even pain.

Jessica was besieged with worry. How much more could Amanda take? How much more could either of them endure? But she couldn’t think of that then, all she could think about was getting Amanda out. She strolled across the room in wide steps, but a shadow darkened the window. Jessica wasn’t going to reach her in time.

She was already too late.

That sickening realization rose, vomit in her mouth.

“Stay low!” Jessica screamed as the window shattered. She whipped her head to the side as glass shards flew at them and they were pelted by a violent, cold rain.

Jessica held her ground and took aim at the winged beast fluttering in the night sky. With the rain and wind, there was only an outline of torn black wings. The creature had the face of an old woman, with white eyes. It howled, its long stringy hair flattened with rain. Her long tendril-like claws reached out toward Amanda.

Over Jessica’s dead body was this creature from hell going to get her sister. Jessica aimed, cocked the safety and fired a shotgun burst into the beast.

It tore square through the thing’s shoulder. Blood sprayed out as a blue electrical light shot out from around its frame. It growled, throwing its mouth and white eyes wide open.

“Crawl, Amanda!” Jessica hissed and readied another shot. “Move toward me!”

Amanda panted, moving fast along the hardwood, but the beast had other plans. Its tendril light claws shot out and grabbed Amanda by the waist. Amanda was jostled as if she had been grabbed hold of by a bungee cord, and snapped back into the air.

No. Just no. Amanda, couldn’t be lost. She just couldn’t.

Jessica reached for her sister’s hand and just as their fingers touched, the beast took off. Amanda jerked backward, drawn out of the room by the winged creature, her eyes wide.
