CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR;;

All that could be seen around us was the pine forest and I could have sworn that I saw something moving in there but I brushed it off, convincing myself that it was nothing.

The range rover came to a halt in front of an abandoned warehouse and behind it, was a river that was quiet and still. If it weren't for the fact that we were here to save my friend and his mother from a death angel, this place would have a sense of peace and calm but tonight, the atmosphere screamed eerie and spine chilling.

"I have a bad feeling about this," I say, eyeing the warehouse.

"Stay in the car," Zayn turned off the engine before handing me the car keys. "No matter what happens, don't get out,"

"Victoria is expecting me, not you," I told him. "If I don't show up, who knows what will happen to them,"

He runs his hands down his face, "If I let you come, you will listen to my instructions and follow then carefully?"

"Yes,"

"If I tell you to jump?"

"I'll jump,"

And with that, we were out the of the car, slamming the door shut behind us. We stood in front of the big entrance doors and I wondered what was behind them and what would happen if we opened them.

"Stay close to me," Zayn says before taking his hand on the handle, and pulling open the door.

It creaked open and we take a look inside the semidarkness. The only light source was from the moon that illuminated most of the place and in the centre, I see Harry and Anne laying on the ground unconscious.

"Harry!" I yelled and ran up to him when suddenly, a body was thrown at me out of nowhere.

The impact was so strong that I fell with a loud thud and a groan with the body on top of me. It slowly rolled off and it laid next to me on its chest.

What caught my eyes first was the branding on top of the hand, a design of a circle and in it was a hand. It was exactly the same like Harry's branding on his chest.

Grunting and groaning was heard from the body and when the head lifted up, my eyebrows shot up when I recognised the bloody face.

"Gemma?"

"Amelia?" Her voice was as surprised as I was. "What are you doing here?"

There was the sound of wings flapping and we turned our heads to see the death angel flying above Harry and Anne. Victoria's pitch black eyes narrowed as she watched us with anger radiating off of her.

"Victoria," I breathed out.

"You know her?" Gemma asked, shocked.

"It's complicated,"

Gemma wiped her bloody nose with the back of her hand that had the branding and pushed herself up to face the death angel, and said, "If you're going to force my little brother to swear the oath of fealty, you have to go through me,"

Victoria laughed, "Stupid girl. I don't want your brother's body. I'm not a fallen,"

"Not yet," Zayn says before charging at her.
