Chapter Nine

We were supposed to leave at sunrise, but instead, we were jolted awake as the earth shook. I dove under the table like the well-trained Californian I was. Earthquakes and California went hand in hand. Earthquake drills were the norm in school.

The guys joined me under the table, with Olly looking the most disturbed by what was happening. When we were in Shanghai, the hospital had shaken slightly as the massive demon serpent flew towards it, but this was ten times worse.

This earthquake was much different than what I had experienced before. I wondered if the building was going to collapse. It lasted twice as long as a typical earthquake.

As soon as the shaking stopped, we climbed out from under the table and threw on our clothes. None of us spoke, because what do you say to each other when it's pretty apparent something substantial just happened?

Nothing.

You say nothing.

"It's demons." Reve appeared just before our phones started pinging with messages. He was out of breath and bent over with his hands on his knees.

I had gotten so used to him being invisible that I hadn't even realized he was missing when the earthquake started.

I grabbed my phone off the charger and swiped open the messages. Tobias came to look over my shoulder and then snatched the phone from me.

"Seriously?" I glared at him and tried to take the phone back.

"It's an emergency message from Michael." As if that gave him an excuse to be grabby with my phone. He pushed a few buttons. "A mass amount of demons came through at the same time."

"Through the ground?"

"The ground just happened to get in the way." Reve had finally caught his breath and was pacing while we finished putting on clothes and shoes.

I snatched my phone from Tobias's fingers and looked at the messages. It was a mass push message.

Over a hundred demons have broken through on the Griffith Observatory's grounds. More arrive every few minutes. All capable angels, including academy students, are requested immediately. Weapons will be available upon arrival.

My heart felt like it was coming up through my throat. Had a hole been ripped through the barrier? Was hell about to come to Earth? Were we all going to die?

I tugged on my boots and jumped up once they were on. Four sets of eyes were watching me, then they looked at each other. I knew what they were thinking, and I wasn't about to let them leave without me.

"I'm not staying behind this time. What if I can control them? Isn't this the perfect opportunity for me to see what I'm capable of?" I crossed my arms over my chest.

Olly ran his hands over his head. It was a nervous movement I hadn't seen him do before. He looked at the guys again before stepping towards me and taking my hands in his.

"We don't want to-"

I pulled my hands away and backed up a step. "Don't give me that shit. I want to fight."

"You aren't ready, Dani." He made a move to grab my hands again, and I put them in my pockets.
