Bad Omens Book 4: Ineffable Part 1

Chapter 44

Eden and Crowley were doing the dishes while Gabriel and Aziraphale were still talking about wedding plans, the menu specifically. "Fish N Chips!" Eden had squealed, making everyone laugh.

But everything stopped when a clawed paw crashed through the kitchen window and slashed Eden's shoulder....

Eden's head collided with the kitchen floor hard, she screamed in pain and in horror.

The yellow, furious eyes of Aamon stared down at her.

"N-No..." Eden whimpered.

Aamon's razor sharp beak twisted into a smile, revealing his long yellow fangs.

"Yes." He hissed, his teeth flew towards her throat....

And to Eden's surprise, Aamon suddenly reared up and roared in pain.

Crowley had grabbed a steak knife and thrust it in Aamon's furry shoulder. "Aziraphale! Gabriel!" Crowley barked, but the two angels were already at his side, helping him support Eden, who had blood gushing from her shoulder.

"Crowley she's hurt!" Aziraphale exclaimed, placing a hand over the deep gash, he tried to heal it but he had to duck from Aamon's flailing tail.

"The TARDIS!" Gabriel said as he helped Aziraphale carry Eden out of the kitchen. Eden was barely conscious and he was helping Aziraphale support her weight. "We should be safe in there!"

Crowley nodded, his mind spinning. How did Aamon get past the protection wards....? Not now Crowley! Crowley reached into Eden's pant pocket and with a jolt of relief, pulled out Eden's sonic screwdriver. He pressed the button and a thin beam of blue flame shot out. "Clever girl."
