CHAPTER 8

I didn't like the sound of that, so I glanced over my shoulder. If there was a lot of Whisperers behind us than there was a shit-load ahead of us. They stood in a long line that blocked off the exit between the crates. Each of them had at least four Whisperers on them.

The crowd behind us got worse as the Whisperers stacked up. Cronus stepped back until he was almost against us. Ian took a step back and grimaced. One of the Whisperers from the group in front of us stepped to the forefront. It was the asshole from the Four Horsemen. He grinned.

"It was so nice of Lilith to invite you out here to see us, don't you think?" he mocked us.

My eyebrows crashed down. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that bitch sent us into a trap," Jenny explained.

"Trap is such an ugly word. I prefer the term 'required invitation,'" the man argued.

Jenny snorted. "And I prefer to knock all your teeth out." She squirmed in Ian's hold and turned her wrath on our handler. "Just let me at him for a few minutes."

"Stop squirming and hold on," Ian whispered.

My eyes widened. I knew that tone. That was the we're-about-to-do-something-stupid tone. I clutched onto him and Jenny did the same as Ian lunged to the side. The Whisperers had the path blocked, but not the crates. Ian jumped onto the crates and used them as stairs. The ground receded beneath us until we were thirty feet above our foes. I was surprised to watch Cronus scale the crates with as much skill, but further thoughts had to wait until later.

We reached the top and found ourselves level with the top of one of the warehouses that stood behind the front group of Whisperers. There was a good twenty feet between the edge of the crate and the top of the warehouse.

"No! No no no no!" I yelled.

Ian ignored me and raced to the edge. He leapt into the void. I had a great view of the Whisperers beneath us. Some of them gawked, but others released their Phantoms. The dark shadows curled into the air and made straight for us. Cronus sailed behind us and fended some off, but others broke through his defense.

Those ones slammed into Ian's chest. That knocked us off our course. Ian swung out his arms and managed to grab the edge of the metal room. We dangled thirty feet above the ground with no way down but a quick drop and stop.

"Don't kill them, you fools!" the leader shouted.

Cronus landed even shorter. He dropped into the middle of the group of Whisperers and started slicing them. His sword worked almost as well on humans than it did Phantoms. The blade sliced and diced them. I turned away from the carnage.

"Hold. . .on," Ian gasped.

He grunted and slowly pulled his stomach onto the roof. Jenny and I crawled off him, and we each grabbed an arm. We had him most of the way on when two Phantoms floated up and grabbed his feet.
