Abigail followed Peter through the forest chasing after the servants. They had the vial of angelic grace around Adam's neck as they were running. The necklace looked as if it were going to fall off but to no avail, the necklace remained on Adam's neck. Adam and his friends as well as Abigail and Peter were running through bumping against every single tree and bush. Abigail focused all her energy to call upon her dogs. The hell hounds turned wolf appeared next to her trailing a bright white light. Their tongues were out, and they were keeping up with their spiritual master.

"Chase them down girls, don't let them get away!" Abigail stated.

The black and white wolves nodded running ahead of them. Peter caught up and ran beside her.

"You sure know how to speak to those dogs easily," Peter said. "Then again I didn't teach you that,"

"Peter now's not a good time,"

Peter nodded and the two worked together to catch up to their enemies.

Jennifer never expected Peter and Abigail to chase after them. The two barely even spoke. Sure, she expected peter to come after her but never Abigail, the bitch had grown a backbone for once. Jennifer ducked behind a tree but when she saw the hell hounds, she knew that she would be in trouble had she stayed still. One wolf had black fur with glowing green eyes while the other was white and gray with brown eyes.

The dogs growled.

"Think Jennifer Think," she said to herself.

An idea hit her in the head. She recounted a spell that could send spirit animals back to the spirit world. If she could remember them then maybe she could send the wolves away. Like a river it flowed through her.

Animalis autem spiritus regnum

Iubeo te redine unde venisti

Sive terra, sive spiritus, sive mare, sive ignis.

Spiritu ad locum tuum redeas regnum!

It nunc! Deleo Te!

The wind picked up fast determined to send the wolves back. The wind surrounded the spirit animals causing them to whimper in pain. Jennifer held her hands up, the wind turned into a large tornado funnel as the wolves whimpered more until the cries of the wolf vanished. Relieved, Jennifer ran to catch up with her friends.

Adam, and his friends had split with two people chasing them it wasn't what he needed right now. He had Ezra's grace so if he could get to Mammon, they would be one step closer to summoning Lucifer. Behind him, Adam was being chased by Peter. Anger presented on his face, and he was determined to get away from his ex-friend.

Peter had been waiting for this for years. Ever since the idiot made him sell his soul and get rid of Ezra. It was one thing messing with him, but it was another when someone messes with his friends and the angels. Peter may have screw up multiple times, but this was the worst time. Stress and a possibility of a new love wouldn't get in the way of defeating the Servants. Hell, even Adam.

Peter chased Adam going through bushes, vines, and trees until they got into a clearing of the forest. This one had grass growing every which way and if they weren't careful either one of them could catch a bug. They broke through and stood facing each other.

"Nowhere to run now Adam, give me that stupid vial!" Peter ordered.

Adam chuckled. The vial bounced as he laughed.

"Do you really think that if you order me, I'll just comply?" Adam asked. "Because if that's the case then you are sorely mistaken," he continued. "If you want this vial, you better fight for it,"

Adam held out his hand and summoned a roman spear, longer than his body, the spear stretched far enough so he wouldn't get struck. The blade was tied together with twine as it had kept the blade from falling.

Peter laughed. "Really? That's the best you can do?" he continued. "Let me show you how it's done,"

In his left-hand Peter summoned a large staff that resembled Merlin's weapon. The staff was highly decorated with a sculpture of a snake slithering up to the top and bottom of the weapon. Adam was awestruck at how decorated it was, but it didn't affect him as bad in fact, it only fueled the battle.

"Well, here we are again," Adam said. "Peter, don't you remember what happened before?"

"This time, I won't lose," Peter responded.
