“Step away from them, Ornias.” A multi-layered voice demands.
Ornias snorts before pointing down at me, “That belongs to me and this.” He switches his finger to Orin who looks ready to pass out, “touched what is mine. Punishment and repayment are mine to claim. You have no power here, Cherubim.”
“I have power everywhere, Demon. Step back from them now before I send you back to your realm in pieces.” The voice demands.
I try to see who or what it is but the light is so bright I can’t make out anything. All I can see is the faint outline of a head and the voice. My body feels heavy in this person’s presence, like weighed down by their power. Cherubim, that was what Ornias called him. What the fuck is that and why does it care about some half-breed demon and a vampire being killed?
“Did he send you here?” Ornias demands before screaming, “This is none of his affair!”
“The girl belongs to him as well. She may have your blood but Abigail Donovan was a creature of his creation. She is half his and he will not allow you to kill a creature that is half his, Ornias. You know this better than anyone.”
“Fuck this! You want them? Then take them now but I demand my son come with me.”
“No. He is also not of your claim. You cannot take a creature against their will to your realm, Ornias.”
“He is mine! You cannot punish me! I am a follower of the enlightened one!
“Lucifer has his rules as well. You have already broken more then your fair share and I will punish you if I must.”
“How?” Ornias snorts, “How will you, mighty Cherubim, punish me?”
“If you do not stand down I will rip out your wings and take your powers where you stand. You will be nothing but an immortal wandering the earth until judgment day.” The power filled voice says with enough contempt in his tone to kill a cow, “Care to test me, Demon? See if I will do as I say?”
“Anything else you want you fucking winged fairy?” Ornias spits.
The Cherubim laughs making me shake as I clutch Orin closer to me. “Not from you, Demon. Be gone from my sight. For your actions you will be banned from the human realm one millennium. Come near either Lila or Gideon and I will strip you of your gifts. Understood?”
I don’t hear the retort. The blood loss is catching up with me and I can’t keep my eyes open any longer. I can’t even breathe without it feeling like my lungs are made of razor blades. I need rest. I need food. I need some water. I need…
I don’t get to finish the thought.
I pass out with Orin in my arms.

“You stupid piece of shit! You couldn’t have stopped him from doing that to her!”
Gideon? Is that who that is? Ah, hell.
“Ever been tortured, youngling?”
Ah shit, Orin! Orin’s alive, that’s a relief but must he fight with my brother? I mean don’t they have better things to do? Like, I don’t know, not trying to rip each other’s throats out?
“No.”
“Would you like to be?”
Gideon growls but something slams down making everyone shut the fuck up. It’s a blessing really. God why does everything hurt so much? Why can’t I open my eyes? I want to lift my hands, move something, anything really but my body won’t do as it’s told. This is so annoying!
