Chapter Twenty

January 28th, San Francisco, California

Kingston crouched; his back pressed against the underside of a toppled sedan as multiple explosions boomed around him. He leveled his rifle’s scope to his line of sight to search for Thorne. They’d been separated. He’d lost track of her, of all of them. God, he prayed they were all okay.

The ground rumbled, vibrating the shattered glass littered around him. Pivoting to the left on the balls of his feet, he fired into the oncoming line of demons tearing up the streets. How could the humans not see this? No spell could be this powerful. A spell that blinds an entire populace? The demons were no longer hiding, their viciousness was out in the open, yet the humans were oblivious.

The demons caused chaos and destruction everywhere they went. Intent on exposing a secret that had been hidden for eons. Humans ‘accepted’ the demons because of whatever damned spell was plaguing the city. But if the demons were successful in luring out the Others--the Supernaturals would be seen as a threat to the humans.

A wraith-like figure swooped in his direction, its gaping mouth hollow and smelling of sulfur. It solidified in front of him, its bony, desiccated fingers reaching toward him, paralyzing him in place. It sneered, the corner of its mouth hooking painfully to the side of its crusty, pustule covered face. “Why did you do that?” Its voice came out dry and gritty, making his insides curdle. “All that shooting will wake the humans from their slumber. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk”

Kingston couldn’t speak, worse, he couldn’t move, or he would’ve split the demon open. The demon cocked its head from side to side, slow and deliberate as if studying all his features like he was an insect under a magnifying glass.

“Guardians. Anakim.” It shook its head, its spine crunching loudly with the movement. “You have so much human in you, yet that little bit of angel blood that runs so strongly within your arteries is enough to make you…”

A cut tore across Kingston’s cheek, the laceration done through telekinesis by the demon with bad breath. It leaned over the cut, its crusty tongue sweeping to lick up his blood. The demon groaned, pleasure making its entire body rattle.

“Delicious.” It sighed. “But that’s not what makes you special.” It backed away, its eyes aglow with curious interest. “No. Your blood is special because you are better than the humans, but you are also stronger than the angels.”

Kingston’s eyes widened, his need to be free heating his blood.

The demon laughed, or tried to, before it broke into a fit of convulsive coughing, spewing black goo all over him. The demon suddenly wavered, returning to its wraith-like form with a gut churning howl. It swept hurriedly past him, howling in pain.

Where the wraith had been, stood a disheveled Thorne brandishing a saber covered in black slime. Chin length, blonde hair stuck to her face as she dropped the saber on the ground, and ran to him. “Hi, Babe.” Her beautiful full lips curled into a relieved smile.
