Chapter Fourteen

Rage, anger, pain . . . that was what I had inside of me. None of which were going to help.

As tears started rolling down my cheeks, Jonah turned to Britney. “Fine. Kill him.”

Britney grinned, brushing her red hair from her face.

She raised the sword.

Then time seemed to slow. Almost standing still.

The burning inside me wasn’t just burning.

It was fire.

Whether it was that rage, anger, and pain, I could feel the flames, like there was an inferno deep inside.

I reached up, wrapping my hand around the stake. The pain barely registered as I ripped it from my body.

In front of me, Britney’s arm was still moving upwards, unaware of what I was doing. The third nameless fallen angel beside me had eyes going wide, and in front of me, a small smile was creeping across Jonah’s lips.

Like a javelin, I threw the stake.

While everything else was moving in slow motion, the stake seemed to soar through the air, plunging into Britney’s throat. Blood spurted everywhere as time sped up again.

Britney’s sword hit the ground at the same time she did.

“Grab her.”

I dove forward, landing and rolling. Moving onto my feet, I grabbed the sword Britney had dropped, stood, and lunged forward, just as the third fallen angel reached out to grab me.

“Impressive,” Jonah said as the fallen angel slumped to the floor.

Turning, I found him cracking his knuckles, his sword jammed into the ground. “You have ten seconds to get out of here, or your body is joining them,” I told him through gritted teeth.

Jonah brought his fists up, his grin hiding behind them. “Instead of counting, shall we just jump to ten?”

Before I could comment, he leaped forward, punching me right in the middle of my chest.

I fell backwards onto the drive, my body skidding across the gravel as I struggled to take a breath.

The pain was back, like someone was squeezing the oxygen out of my lungs but not allowing me to take air back in.

Rolling onto my front, I somehow managed to get onto my hands and knees, my breath wheezing. Everything was hot. In front of me, now out from behind the tree line, I could see the house was ablaze. Flames were pouring out of every door and window, licking up to the roof.

Yet the fire still seemed to be inside me. I could feel it raging away even more ferociously than the flames in front of me.

And although it didn’t have a voice, I knew it wanted me to destroy the source of my pain—Jonah.

Just as I pushed myself off the ground, ignoring the stones biting into my palms, Jonah’s boot smashed into my side.

My body went rolling further down the drive and away from the house.

Jonah followed after me. “Here’s the thing, princess. I’m not actually going to kill you. I need you alive.” He crouched down over me. “You can make this a whole lot less painful for yourself if you stop fighting me. You might be special, but I’m a fallen angel, and you can’t take me out.
