Rise of the Nephilim

Four

Cora's POV

Walking down the stairs I saw two things, well five things, three men and two things. One of the men pulled my unconscious mum through the door. I flew over the banister, ran into the kitchen and grabbed the biggest carving knife I could see. When I got back into the other room the men and my mother were gone and I could hear the screech of tires coming from the drive. The two things hadn't gone though, they were looking at me. Whatever they were, they were going to kill me

"To eats, to eats." The things hissed and started to crawl towards me. Like any normal person would, I screamed and ran to the stairs and vaulted over the banister with the knife still in my hand. Sprinting three steps at a time, I reached my room and barricaded the door with my wardrobe and a potted plant. Don't ask me why a potted plant. Who knows, it may have made all the difference.

"Oh my God, I'm going to die." The things crashed against the door. My brain shut down and instincts took over. I shoved a lot of my cloths into a rucksack, grabbed my purse, and then put in my I-pod. Suddenly I thought of something that was crazy but brilliant at the same time. A bomb, I could make a bomb. Hopefully I won't die.

Once I had made it out of hair products and my straighteners I got on the windowsill and jumped into the darkness below. At that moment the things came through the door and the bomb went off propelling me forwards. I landed bending my knees and immediately straightened and started to run. Clearing the fence I ran into the middle of the street and started to run right.

Skidding to a stop I saw the guy who started this whole mess. He looked like the men who took my mum, they wore black and had tattoos. This is great, I mean can my day get any worse. Spinning around I found it can, I had just jinxed the whole thing because his two friends and there was no way out of here without going past them.

"Having problems at home? Why don't you come with us, it's not like you have much of a choice. Come with us, willingly or . . ." No, I will not be going with them because I'm not completely stupid

"How about not." I growl and launch into action.

Cole's POV

I have never been evaded in my life until this girl. How, nobody knows but whatever she is, it's not human. I returned back to the sanctuary to get backup. If I was going to get this girl, I'll need all the help I can get. When I got there the Kane's. They sent Ruby and Alec out with me so we could corner her. We got into position and after a few minutes everything kicked off. And when I say this, it is no understatement. Cora leapt out of a window and her house blew up behind her.

A car pulled out of the drive at full speed, then skidded around the corner and disappeared out of sight. Sixty seconds later an upstairs window shattered and she was leaping out into the darkness, at the same time a huge explosion blasted the house apart propelling her forwards. She landed and started to run as soon as her feet hit the ground.

I sent Alec and Ruby to the other end of the street just as Cora vaulted the fence and skidded to a stop in the middle of the street facing me. The fact that she beat me earlier didn't help her situation and welcome the sarcasm.

"Having problems at home? Why don't you come with us, it's not like you have much of a choice. Come with us, willingly or . . ." Shouldn't have beat me. Now I'm mad and we all know she isn't human. If she fights back I may hurt her.

"How about not." She growled. Could be a werewolf, they're always growling. I'll see how she likes her stakes.

"Oh, you are coming with us." And she will. Unconscious.

"You want to bet!"

"Ok, I'll give you a fiver if you get away, granted you'd have to find me to get the money."

"I wasn't serious, all I wanted to do say is I'm not going anywhere with any of you." With that she cast an appraising gaze over the ally's bare walls.

"No roof access, sorry love. We chose this place for a reason." The colour drained out of her face as she realised that I was right and there was no escape for her. Not this time.

"Stop the chit chat and just grab her already, it's not like she can fight. It's ether fight or run, she is a runner, Cole." Alec thought girls who weren't one of us were weak, I one the other hand have seen some of our best and brightest get beaten by girls they underestimated. Maybe it's Alec's turn now.

"I'd like to see you fight her, she runs across rooves all night, she's strong fast and agile so be careful when you fighter because I think she'll fight back." Before any of us could do anything, a demon burst through her garden fence on fire and was heading straight for Cora. Alec and Ruby ran straight at the demon pulling our swords from our sheaths.

Cora's POV

I turned around the corner and ran straight into the one they called Flint. He grabbed my arm and stopped me from running. The thing came towards me.

"Time to eat it, time to eat."

As quick as lightening, Cole threw me against a wall and drew a sword. It was the last thing I remember because I hit the wall head first and the whole world faded to black. I was floating in a black void. There was nothing and no one around me. Just the darkness.

When I woke up I was being carried into a big building by Cole that looked kind of like a secret military base cross with a church. Just as he was about to bring me through the door I launched myself onto the ground and started to run. Running for my freedom I got tackled to the ground and hit it head first. Still weak from my first bout of unconsciousness, everything went black. Again.
