Val's kneeling over me, I know I must be bleeding like crazy. I've been stabbed before, but being shot was new. The adrenaline coursing through my veins helped me as I tried to get up, but Val forced me back down.
"Stay down," they command, "You will not die."
Killian and Declan are the closest to us, and Killian runs toward the nearest pew. He starts dragging it. Declan sees what he's doing and helps. Val covers them with their handgun until it clicks when they pull the trigger.
"Fuck!" they yell hurling their gun into the cluster of crusaders. To both our surprise it hits one of them square in the head, knocking them cold. We're now covered by the pew. Kenji and Ayesha have joined us. I feel the room spinning, I must be losing a lot of blood.
