CHAPTER SIX - PAIGE

I was going insane. I was sure of it. The burning sensation on my collarbone finally abated, but I knew that something was terribly wrong when Riley saw the symbol there. I had never seen it before, but there was some memory tugging at my subconscious that told me that I had, but I couldn’t remember where or when.

All of that was forgotten though when suddenly Riley and Benjamin moved as if they were one, placing themselves between the tree line and me.

"What's going on?"

"It's safe to say that the big bad has arrived," Riley said without looking at me. "You got any sense of how many there are?" The question wasn't for me, but for Benjamin.

"More than a few," Benjamin said, his face scrunched up in concentration. "And at least one that is significantly more powerful than the rest. That's the one in charge."

I couldn't believe that two minutes ago the two men had been at each other's throats, and now they acted as if they were comrades in arms.

"A demon official." Riley's words weren't a question this time, and there was a note of awe.

"It would appear so," Benjamin said. "A disruption like that is going to be noticed elsewhere by my brethren. Reinforcements will be here soon."

"Not soon enough to get her away from here if an official is coming," Riley hissed. "You know that as well as I do."

"What are you proposing?"

"Hey, don't I get any say in this?" I said, trying to butt into the conversation.

"No," was the immediate reply from both men.

I crossed my arms in frustration.

"With our back against this lake, it won't take long before they overpower us," Riley said. "You know as well as I do that most demons aren't fond of water. If you can hold them off long enough for me to get Paige in a canoe, I'll get her across to the other side. You can meet us on the other side."

"And I should let you try this why?"

"We both know that my abilities aren't going to do much in this situation," Riley said. "I realize now why I felt like this place was so isolated. There hasn't been any death on this land. There’s no dead here for me to call on."

"It's a sacred place," Benjamin murmured. I remember his earlier anger that I had allowed Riley to desecrate the cabin. It was yet another mystery to add to the list. Suddenly he hissed and recoiled. "The irony."

"What?" I asked, startled to see the man I knew transforming into someone far different than I ever expected.

"I recognize the signature of the official who comes," Benjamin said. His words sounded far away.

"And that is ironic because?" I was scared out of my mind. It was the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of nowhere with a necromancer and an archangel ready to do battle to protect me. I felt utterly worthless. I was unable to protect myself, and there was something extremely humbling about that fact because it felt so strange.
