Chapter Fourteen

I hit something firm, hard. It forces the air from my lungs, making my eyes water. I expected it to hurt, but this death, it isn’t painful.

Something soft tickles against my cheek, forcing me to open my eyes. The tip of a feather pulls away as Mihr’s face comes into focus. I’m not dead after all, it appears Mihr kept his promise. Relief, followed by a sudden rush of adrenaline, rips through my body.

Ether dropped me, only for Mihr to catch me.

We are hovering in the air, his huge wings keeping us airborne. I grab at his arms, my fingers digging into the thin material of his long-sleeved top as I suck in deep breaths, my lungs screaming for oxygen. Mihr tips his head, asking me if I am okay. I’m already beginning to understand the subtleness of his language.

“I’m better now I’m not plummeting to the ground,” I manage to stutter.

He nods his head, his eyes briefly falling to mine. Within the summer blue are swirls of relief and a huge dose of concern.

“What happened? Why did Ether drop me?”

Mihr shakes his head, still not willing to communicate with words and unable to communicate with sign language, given he is holding me across his body. Instead, he pulls me tighter against his chest, tips forward and we move through the air in a sudden rush of flapping wings. We are moving much faster than I had been with Ether. Mihr’s face is strained with the effort of flying at such a speed. He doesn’t acknowledge me further, his gaze focused on a spot in the distance.

Hanging on for dear life, I have to trust that Mihr won’t drop me. I curl my fingers around the material of his top. It is only then I realise that we are touching skin to skin, my knuckles pressing against the bare skin of his neck. I snatch my hand away, but not before the lingering warmth has seeped into my skin and settled in my bloodstream.

Shit.

I wait for the cold to smother the warmth, just like it had with Gabe, but it doesn’t come. There is only a lingering, comforting warmth. What the hell is going on?

I don’t get to ask as Mihr tightens his grip, swerves sharply to his right and we nosedive towards the ground. A scream tears from my mouth. I feel Mihr’s fingers dig into my skin as his muscles flex under the strain of holding me. As we plummet, out of the corner of my eye I see a dark shape heading towards us. It is camouflaged well, and had it not been for the fact the clouds suddenly parted and the moon glinted against its metal wings I may not have seen it.

Metal wings?

The angel… No, it is not an angel. It has a humanoid body like them, wings, but it is not the same. This creature wants to kill. It wants to maim. Death by its hands is violent and savage. I know all
