Run

The two burst through the school doors into the cold night air. (Name) turned around to see if they were still being pursued.

They were. And the men were really fast.

"(Name) don't look back," stated Alfred in monotone. "You're baiting them"

"Alfred who are those men?" (Name) asked. Things were getting unsettling.

"(Name), promise you'll do exactly what I say from this point on?"

They turned a corner, the same corner where they passed a man in a suit.

He was standing there in front of them, a few feet away, maliciously grinning.

The man's eyes flashed pink and he took a step toward them. The air felt suddenly colder and (Name) shivered.

Alfred's grip on her hand tightened and he leaned down so that his face was very close to hers.

He whispered one simple word.

Alfred summoned his shotgun and (Name) noticed that it wasn't his normal gun.

Alfred aimed at the demon ahead. Before the demon could react, there was a shot and the demon fell backwards. He was dead.

Alfred ran and (Name) along with him. There were shouts behind them and (Name) heard the running footsteps of the demons behind them.

"GET THE ANGEL" She heard one shout.

"He's got a human with him!"

"The more, the merrier, they say!"

It wasn't easy, running in heels. You couldn't keep up with Alfred and he knew it.

Quickly, he turned and fired a few more shots, watching some demons fall down to be trampled by their pursuing comrades.

He sharply turned another corner and hid behind a dumpster.

"(Name), I want you to stay here alright?" Alfred told (Name) "I want you to stay here for a while and when you think the coast is clear, I want you to run for it, okay? Run home, (Name)."

Alfred stood up and was about to go down the road again when (Name) grabbed his shirt.

"Alfred," she said. There was a sense of desperation in her voice. "What are you doing?"

Alfred forced out a smile "You're gonna need a decoy-"

"Alfred, no! Please, you're going to get hurt!" Tears were starting to form in her eyes. Was she going to lose her friend so soon?

Alfred knelt back down and leaned in toward her. "I promised your dad that I would return you home without a single scratch on you and that's what I'm gonna do."

Footsteps were getting closer.

"You're all that I care about, (Name). I'll be your soldier. I'll be your hero"

Alfred gave her a quick kiss on the lips and ran away. Just seconds later, a whole hoard of demons in suits were rampaging after Alfred. If anyone noticed (Name), then they must have decided that Angel would be a juicier meal than a human one.
