Chapter Twenty-One

The screams escalated as the gathered paranormals realized we were under attack. General Goffer and some of the other police, tasked with protection, made dives for the senior paranormals, seeking to block the bloody fire being hurled at werewolves, pixies, and vampires alike.

Frantically my eyes searched the ground. The acrid air stung my eyes, and my throat burned with each breath. Painful screams continued to fill my ears, and it took every ounce of control I possessed not to fall to my knees and wrap my arms around my head until the battle was over.

All our government gathered in one place - how stupid could we be? I asked myself. Smoke and burning flashed before me and I lost track of where I was. Ducking low to the ground, I felt Lough’s thick hand grab my arm and hold tight.

“Don’t let go,” he yelled over the deafening noise.

Sip was several feet from us, already being driven away as paranormals scrambled in every direction. Some fought and some tried to get away. All were dying. The screams were deafening. I felt fur brush my nose as several werewolves raced past me on their way to fight.

Then I looked over at Lough and saw a hellhound heading straight for him. I shot to my feet, calling my powers; it was simple enough to send blocking magic to slam in front of the dream giver. Lough turned so that we were facing each other. I saw his eyes flutter and knew he was compiling a dream and watching my back. I kept watching.

Sip was suddenly nowhere to be seen, but Mrs. Swan was still nearby and had drawn a sharp blade. I had no idea she knew how to hold a weapon, let alone attack with it, but that’s just what she was doing now. The sharp metal swung through the air, slamming into Nocturns on either side of her. General Goffer stuck close to Caid. He’d drawn two massive swords and held one in each hand.

Out of the blue, from a direction where I wasn’t watching, a painful cut ripped across my cheek. I felt my skin open and blood well up and pour down over my jaw.

My hand went to my face and I momentarily lost my hold on my powers, and the Nocturns surged. One particularly large demon darted toward me, and I stumbled backward, away from Lough. Calling a bolt of power, I shot wildly as I fell: magic laced with dirt and fire and carried by wind. I missed everything. Lough bent down and grabbed a stick off the ground; still facing me, he swung it hard to his side. As it swooshed through the air it started to sparkle with Lough’s powers, slamming into the demon.

More came on. I shot and shot. My aim wasn’t good, but this was magic I could do, and it was almost unconscious by now. The Nocturns were forced to duck, and when a hellhound leaped at me I stepped easily out of the way, then moved back in front of Lough, hoping to continue protecting him.
