Chapter 4

Khali lands on the roof next to Justina, clutching a bloody cut on her leg.

"What happened?" the Ender asks.

"I got into a fight with an angel. It's nothing big," Khali replies coldly.

"Nothing big?! That means that there are angels out there right now that we most likely hunting us down!" Justina exclaims, the flame in her eye growing more intense. Khali sighs and bandages her leg.

"You think I don't know that?"

Justina sighs angrily and spreads her wings, taking off into the sky. As she soars, her eyes land on a figure with the same wings as her. As she gets closer, she realizes he's standing with an angel, who has a golden amulet around his neck and sunglasses. Huge white wings sprout from his back.

This angel, Adam, sees Justina, and the two boys both take off into the sky after the demon. Her eyes narrow and she pulls out her sword.

"Why are you with the angels if you have demon wings?" Justina demands as they get closer. Curiosity bubbles inside of her, but she forces it down. Curiosity is a bad thing. The angel with the Ender wings stops in his tracks at these words, his eyes becoming a purple flame.

"Ty, don't listen to her. She's trying to deceive you," Adam warns, glancing at the other boy before looking back to Justina. She chuckles.

"I'm legitimately curious. Why does an angel have demon wings?"

The angel starts flying towards the girl, but Ty stops him.

"Adam, don't. I can handle this. Go find some other demons."

Adam exchanges warning glances with his friend, glares at the demon, and hesitantly flies away. Ty faces Justina, his eyes blazing.

"I'll kill you."

The girl laughs.

"No you won't. Now, why don't you have angel wings like the others?"

"I'm not going to tell you. It's none of your business," he growls.

Justina swings her sword at him, but he blocks it with his sword.

"If you won't tell me, I'll force it out of one of your friends. You know, by means of torture," the demon threatens.

He growls and stabs at the girl. She flies backwards, avoiding the blade. They continue their deadly dance for a while, neither blade touching their opponents.

Eventually, Ty tackles Justina and the two fall from the sky. He pins her down on a rooftop, his blade at her throat.

"I'll kill you. Right now."

"Go ahead," Justina snarls. "End me."

He hesitates for a moment, raising his sword before dropping it again.

"You'd better run. The next time I see you, I won't be so nice."

The girl stands up and flies away as fast as she can, not looking back at the angel on the roof. Thoughts buzz through her mind like a hive of angry bees.

Why does that angel have demon wings?

As she flies, she smirks a bit.

Told you you wouldn't kill me.
