GABBY

Gabby opens her eyes and finds she and Colt are standing among the ruins of a house. Beyond are green pastures dotted with trees, surrounding them is a horde of demons.

Instantly, she and Colt are back to back, circling slowly as they take stock.

Dozens and dozens of demons. But not one angel. And yet it’s obvious there’s been a battle here. They’re standing amongst broken timber and shattered glass.

Had the demons just won? Were the angels outnumbered?

The demons hunker down, snarling. “Two came back,” one growls with excitement.

Gabby doesn’t let her surprise show, but it still spears through her. The angels retreated…

Another’s crimson eyes flare. “No, only one was stupid enough to return. The other is a traitor.”

Jagged teeth flash through the army of demons, and Gabby’s not sure if they’re more excited at the prospect of killing an angel, or one of their own who turned their back on them.

Too bad they won’t get a chance to do either.

“Oh dear, whatever will we do?” she calls out dramatically. “Only two of us and so many of you.”

“There were as many angels as there are of us only moments ago, and they all ran like the gutless cowards they are,” shouts one.

The other demons sneer as one. Black wings snap out, creating a wall of night dotted with flaming eyes.

“Ready?” Gabby says under her breath.

The barest twitch of Colt’s back shows he heard her.

Her own alabaster wings exploding from her back, she drops to one knee. One hand presses to the ground, burning away the debris until she’s touching bare soil. Around her, the movement triggers the onslaught of demons.

Many leap high, intending on coming down like black wrath. Others shoot straight forward, planning on overrunning them. Like a swarm of hatred, they try to engulf Gabby and Colt.

But Gabby focuses on the only thing that will save them. They’re woefully outnumbered and surrounded. They could blink out of here, no doubt like the angels did, but that would leave behind a horde of demons hungry for blood. Any humans nearby would be collateral damage.

Concentrating, she feels the energy coursing through the earth beneath her hand. She draws on every drop she can find, amplifies it, and combines it with her own celestial magic.

Behind her, Colt’s body jerks, screams and groans filling the air as he keeps the demons at bay. For a brief second, his contact with her back breaks, making her heart jolt. But then he presses his leg against her, digging his heel into the ground. He knows they have to remain touching. Otherwise the same fate that’s about to befall the demons will be wrought on Colt.

Which means she has to do it now. Left to fend off the demons, he could be wrenched away from her any second.

Digging her fingers into the soil she mutters the spell. Enochian, the language of angels, tumbling from her lips with the same familiarity as English. The dirt trembles, then ripples. The energy now coursing through it has the veil thinning and dimensions tearing.
