couldn’t have entered the mortal world. She was like
Asmodeus—an abomination to the angel world, a half-breed, bred only
for one purpose—to destroy the mortal world. She clenched her jaw.
She would get her revenge. You are not my
father . She made a silent promise to
herself that she would do everything in her power to mend the
horrors she had unleashed. And then it would be payback
time.
“ When do we leave?” asked
Kara, her voice deep and trembling with rage. She remembered
Asmodeus’s joyful face as his demons slipped into the mortal world
and began tearing their way through human hearts.
David raised his brows. “Right
now.”

Angels
K ara followed David down the red dunes. The sun beat down on
her head, and Kara felt as if she had a hot hairdryer close to the
scalp. She watched David’s back, but she wasn’t really watching
him. She couldn’t stop thinking about the cherub who had died in
her arms. His withered face haunted her, like a bad dream that
lingered after she had opened her eyes.
Save us , the cherub had said. What did he mean by that? And why did
he tell her? Was she supposed to do something? Was she part of a
bigger plan? She didn’t know. And she couldn’t shut her mind up
about it.
A loud rumbling reached her ears. Kara
looked over the brow of the dune she was climbing—and stopped dead
in her tracks.
Hundreds of thousands of guardian
angels filled the entire valley below her, a moving sea of angels
readying for battle. They gathered together and formed straight
lines down and across the valley, a perfect square, a full strength
angel Legion. Kara’s body prickled in excitement. She had never
seen so many guardians together in one area. She felt small and
insignificant. A sense of pride welled in her chest. She felt
intoxicated. She wanted to run amongst them, to stand amongst them
all. With an army like this, anything was possible.
She smelled iron and salt water. The
crowd seemed to disperse as she and David made their way through
it. Did the Legion still believe her to be a traitor? She could
hear whispers from the crowd. Anxious faces surrounded her. They
were nervous, like caged animals. Kara tensed.
A sparkle at the head of the Legion
caught her attention. Kara looked over the heads of the crowds. A
giant man made his way across the front lines. Yards of silver
cloth rippled in the wind behind him like a flag made of pixie
dust. Even in the distance, she recognized the archangel Michael.
His golden brown skin shone brightly in the sunlight. His silky
dark brown hair brushed his muscular shoulders, and his hands were
clasped into fists.
She felt a tug on her arm and turned
to see David beckoning her to follow him. He pulled her towards a
small mount of sand. Kara climbed closely behind him. Once they
reached the top, she looked over the thousands of heads and focused
on Michael. He stood with his hands clasped in front of him, his
body hard and stiff like a Greek statue.
“ Guardians,” boomed
Michael’s voice across the desert. His voice was magically enhanced
and all the guardians could hear him as clearly as though he were
right in front of each of them.
“ We are gathered here in
this late hour to inform you and to prepare you all for what lies ahead.
As some of you have already heard, thousands of portals have been
opened, and hundreds of thousands of demons have been released into
the mortal world. The legion has never faced a threat of this
magnitude before. Innocent men, women, and children have been
attacked in their own homes and ripped into pieces.”
Whispers spread through the crowd like
a wildfire. Kara lowered her head. Was Michael blaming her? She
heard a hint of an accusation in his words. She fought to control
her emotions. She remembered hearing the cries of children as the
demons tore out their hearts. This was all her fault.
Something brushed against her fingers.
She felt a hand interlace with hers. She looked
