SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 30

CHAPTER 30

“We can get in over here” Summer yells over her shoulder as she bends down going through an open window. I am right behind her. No sooner do we enter the abandoned warehouse than we hear the scream again. “This way” Summer shouts already running at maximum speed across the empty warehouse. It doesn’t take us long to locate where the screams are coming from. Five Necromancer demons have a young woman tied up, from the looks of it they are really enjoying her fear.

“Hey shit heads! Why don't you let the girl go and go back to Hell where you come from before we send you back there in a way I can grantee you won't like.” I yell. The girl looks up at us, for the first time, once we get a look at her we realize it’s not a girl at all instead Its a lark demon. As far as demons go, they are really wimps. They love to eat human flesh, but they never kill their victims their selves. The upper demons use them to clean up the messes they leave behind. Gross I know.

“I'm starting to get the feeling we've been set up.” Summer tells me.

“Let’s teach theses assholes a lesson then.” I say, already running towards the Necromancers kicking the first one I come to it falls backwards into some boxes. I hit the second one in the face with my fist. He was ready for me though and hits me back so hard I felt the air leave my lungs. The next hit he lands to my face sends me flying backwards landing on my ass. Ugh I hate Necromancers! Standing up I give my body a shake making sure nothing is broken, before I take off running again. This time I jump straight into the air wrapping both my legs around the demons' neck. I start squeezing my legs together. I squeeze until I hear its neck pop. The demon falls to the ground taking me right along with him. Using my hands, I push myself back into a standing position. Turning around I see Summer has already killed two of the Necromancers. Leaving two more and the Lark demon, grabbing up a two by four I run towards one of the two Necromancer's left that Summer is now fighting. Hitting the first one I reach, across the back of the head with the two by four. The demon looks at me like he can’t believe I just did that to him.

That look along tells me this is one of the higher-level demons, and he isn’t used to anyone hitting him. I hate higher-up demons they think their shit doesn't stink. The demon picks me up by my hair. I feel my feet leave the ground. I am wondering how the hell I am going to get out of this mess when I see a piece of the two by four shoot out of the Necromancer's belly. I hear Summer yelling, “don't touch my daughter asshole.” I land on my feet give Summer a smile and say “he wasn’t hard to kill after all”. Summer has killed the last two Necromancers. She is a Queen, that kicks ass let me tell you. With all the Necromancers dead we go over to the Lark which is still sitting in the chair pretending to be tied up. “Lark you going to talk or do we get to have fun with you?” I question.

“Don’t kill me” the Lark screams “I'll tell you all I know.”

“Talk then” Summer yells, “Why did the Necromancers want us down here? Why have they gotten you made up like a girl? Don't even think about trying to play games with us, or I swear to God I'll kill you were you sit.” Summer states to the demon.

“I don't know everything I swear. All the Necromancers told me is they wanted your daughter, and if I would play like a girl in trouble to get you guys down here. I could eat you after they killed you.”

I see Summer’s face as it falls. I know she isn’t upset because the Lark said he wanted to eat us. That sound wrong on so many leaves I know. I would be laughing if it wasn’t for the crest fallen appearance on Summers face.

“Why does the Necromancer want my daughter?”

The Lark tells us he doesn’t know. That’s when Summer takes the Lark by the throat. She starts chocking him. “I said not to play with me Lark" she screams the Lark is struggling to breathe. “Now I'll ask you one more time demon if you lie to me this time I'll kill you, I swear I will.” The Lark starts talking as I listen to the story he is telling, it sends chills through my body. The Lark tells us the Necromancers, and all other demons want’s me. “It’s her powers” the Lark says. “Her powers are unlike anything any of us or even the Angels' have even seen. The only thing we've figured out is that she is the first to ever be born of both a true King and Queen you are both pure. You’re both the first King and Queen to ever be born who already held your titles. That gives her yours and her father’s powers plus her own powers. She is and will always be the strongest Keeper to ever live. That means whoever kills her can have her powers. Lucifer wants her powers just as every other demon who wants to take over Hell wants them.”

I stand there in shock at what I am hearing I feel cold. If what the Lark is saying is true. Then everything that lives will want me. I feel the blood leaving my head. Looking up I watch as Summer takes the Lark by the head then she gives it a twist breaking its neck. She looks at me her face as white as my own. “Come on” she says putting her arm around me. I watch as the warehouse disappears.
