crimson hunters

Midnights pov
As i make it to the briefing room i set at one of the tables. Johnny the newest member of my strike team walks towards me and sits across from me. He is a young guy only twenty and a very skilled hunter, as of now he's the only mortal to have killed a vampire alone. We talk for a while before sir edan, and mila walk into the room. Everyone stand at attentionand gives a salute. He nodds his head and everyone takes a seat. The room is so quiet you could hear a needle drop.
"As of 0800 yesterday the angelic high command sent an evoy to help with a very critical mission, the demon prince Mammon is trying to free the Shedim. If he succeeds he will bring the apocalypse and and free Lucifer, if Lucifer walks free the battle between good and evil will take a dark turn, Michael the leader of the angelic high command will be forced to battle his brother destroying half of the universe and its not guaranteed micheal would win." He says as he
Looks out at the crowd of men infront of him. "This is an all hands on deck situation." He says. "Now on a lighter note this is mila the newest member of our family." He says as he beckons her forward to the podium. She obliges walking nervously to to sir edan's side. I cant help but think how cute she looks, i notice that shes blushing as it hits me. With in a one mile radius a vampire has a telepathic bond unless its sealed off. Now im blushing. As everyone gets a look at her i hear gasps as it sinks in that shes of royal blood. After the briefing is done i walk to the armory to get my loadout adjusted. I feel a hand on my shoulder and i turn to see mila, she grabs my hand and pulls me to an unused room. I get ready to feel a slap but i dont. Insted i hear sobs and her hitting my chest. I grab her and hold her untill she calms down. After a while she looks me in the eyes. Her eyes now red from crying. "Please don't go." Is the first words she speaks. I dont know what to say or how to react so i just hold her tighter. "I have to, its my job." I mange to say. "But what if you dont come back." She says. "I have every other time, it'll be okay." I say as i whipe her tears from her cheek. "I already lost my mom, please dont make me loose you too." She cries out. "I have to, otherwise almost everyone on the planet will be killed." I say. "And if you do the person i love could be killed, lets just run off and find somewhere we'll be safe." She says. What she just said leaves me speechless. She realizes what she just said and her face gets a bright red tent and she runs off before i can say anything else. I wonder around aimlessly for a while, i find myself infront of sir eden's office. I knock twice and push the door open. I find him setting behind his desk sorting out the final battle plans. He lifts his head to look at me. "Ah just the person i wanted to see." He says. "Due to the fact of your fledgling, this mission must be completed with utmost haste, the angelic high command is providing an elite strike force should the situation need them, you will have the horn of Gabriel to call for angelic support." He says. "Um sir i have a few worries about mila." I say. "She doesn't want me to go and she was hysterical, i was wondering if you could have someone look after her while im gone?" I ask he looks at the paper on his desk and writes something down and then looks back to me. "It has been arranged." He says. I walk back to the armory to pick-up my new loadout. Twin glock 18 selective fire pistols, and a m240. Both loaded with anti-demon rounds. Its a hard plastic tipped bullet. Inside the plastic tip is blood of a saint, rosemary, holy water, and a grain of graveyard soil. All of which are poisonous to demons. All the other men are getting their power armor fitted and loading into the c17. I am stoped by a bright light, forward comes a man, tall and cald in glowing white armor. Sir edan who is just entering the armory stops dead in his tracks. He drops to his knee and bows his head. Everyone else follows suit. The man walks forward to sir eden and places a hand on his shoulder. As sir eden rises to his feet the men share a hug. "Its been too long you feathery bastard." Sir edan shouts as both men laugh. The angel askes something but i cant hear it and sir edan points to me. As the angel walks to me he speaks. "Rise my child." He says as i get to my feet i see his face. Long flowing blonde hair a face so fitting of an angel. "I am the archangel Michael." He says with a deep booming voice. He reaches for the sword on his hip and pulls it from its sheath. "Please kneel." He booms. As i do i feel the blade of his sword on one shoulder, and then the other both shoulders are burning as if fire was on them. "Now rise." He thunders. As i do he places his sword back into the sheath he places the sword infront of me. "Take the holy sword Excalibur and except your new rank as a knight of heaven. He says. As i grab the sword, he vanishes into thin air. Sir edan rushes to me. "What just happend?" I ask. Sir eden looks at me and says. "Well laddie you just got promoted." As we load onto the c17 i look out to see mila standing by anna-faie "fuck" i say to myself as we load onto the globemaster and takeoff.
