“Finish them,” I call out to the archangels, and they get to work.

Leeanna and Zeke circle around Abdiel, who lowers his head, readying his horns for attack. They don’t give him the chance. Leeanna lifts into the air while Zeke tackles him from the back. Having thrown the demon to the ground, Lee drives her sword, forged in Heaven, into the demon’s back. He evaporates, ceasing to exist.

Around me, the angels continue to take on the other three demons, ending the fight quicker than expected. The high demons have been subdued, and the angels work to restrain them.

Zeke comes to my side. “I was able to get the cage you requested. We’ll restrain them until we’re able to move them somewhere else.”

The doors slam open again, and all eyes turn to see Victoria rushing through, panting as though she sprinted the entire way here.

How she found this room is the question. My castle is a labyrinth. Lilith runs in behind her, and then it makes sense. Somehow Lilith and Victoria managed to not kill each other long enough to make it here.

I smile across the room at my girl, and she smiles back.

“How’s the fight going out there?”

“It’s over,” Victoria says. “Camille and the reapers helped to defeat the traitors.”

I turn my head to catch the look on Michael’s face when he hears the news that Camille was here. If possible, his face is whiter than it was when he arrived in Hell.

I’m preparing to offer a jab at Michael’s expense when Leeanna’s gasp garners my attention.

I turn in time to watch as the black witch approaches Victoria’s back.

Without a second thought, I transport myself between the two just in time for Yvette’s spell to thrust from the wand in her outstretched hand into my chest.

A searing cold, the likes of which I’ve never experienced, flows through me, freezing my insides.

I drop to my knees, eyes wide in confusion. The commotion around me sounds muffled. I can’t make out any of the words or who speaks them. Victoria falls to her knees in front of me, saying something, looking panicked, but I can’t understand a word she says.

I fall back, head hitting the ground, and everything goes black.
