House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1)

The upstairs was empty, quiet , the music stopped, leaving the noises of guns and screams instead. She heard furniture break, glass fall. She sped up and looked in the first room , nothing, the second room, nope, but she opened the door with a silent caution.

She took a steady breath and opened the third, she saw somebody laying unconscious on the floor, their head against the bed. She walked closer, it was Kalbreal, she pulled his hair, talking in small whispers,

“Kalbreal, wake up, Kalbreal wake up,”

She heard a noise coming from the passage, she spoke to him again kicking lightly on his legs, “Angel-boy, get up.” Nothing was happening to him, the voices got nearer and so did the sound of quick steps.

Clare got scared and started kicking him harder, still, he didn’t respond, “Dammit!”

She kicked him aggressively, and in a blur he was up, nearly knocking her over in the process. Her eyes filled with fear, she wasn’t sure whether it was because of him or them, “We have to go.”

He looked incredulously at her, “Go where? What's happening?”

She uttered incredulously, “You’re an Angel, find out dip shit.”

He closed his eyes, and she saw a light flash behind his eyelids, he opened them seconds later. Pushing her aside and grabbing her sword at the same time, he rolled over and struck the sword in a person, just as they got there.

Clare’s nerves were shot, “That was just scary, really, really creepy and scary.”

“Where the others?” They got out in the passage. There were more people, who started coming up, they were Shapeshifter’s, blue hair, and white leathers on.

“Oh shit, Kalbreal, what do we do?”
