My spear left a thin trail of oozing black blood around his neck.
He bellowed in rage, darkness twirling eerily inside his eyes.
“I’ll kill you if you prove more trouble than you’re worth, little girl,” he hissed.
“And we’ll bury the secret of killing the possible Lost One,” the green-horned demon echoed, totally onboard. I figured he hated me for stabbing him.
Three demons closed ranks, no longer worried that they might severely injury me.
The chainsaw cut into my back below my shoulder blade.
Screaming, I tore myself away from the jagged metal, sidestepped, booted the captain, and wheeled toward the red-horned demon.
The gruesome chainsaw dripped with my blood.
With a furious roar and a burst of strength, I tossed my spear toward the red-horned demon’s throat. I aimed true, and it pierced the demon’s neck.
He widened his eyes in disbelief before he dropped in a heap, his chainsaw flying from his hands. His red horns scratched the ground with a coarse scrape.
Before I could snatch his chainsaw or yank out the spear from his throat, the other demons charged.
Things didn’t look too hot for me.
Harsh, urgent flapping sounds beat into the wind. A vast shadow flitted over us, blotting out the sky.
Goddamnit! More demons were coming.

I would jump on the wounded, green-horned demon next.
“A demigod!” shrieked the gray-eyed demon.
Had Axel or Zak tracked me down?
A sliver of hope rose in me. It would suck to return to the Academy, but it was better than going to Hell.
“We grab her and shift to our domain,” the demon captain barked. “One, two....”
They slammed into me.
I roared in dread, shoving them off.
As a claw sank into my skin, latching onto my arm, a wave of black wind and light tore the demons from me.
A demon’s razor-sharp claw slid through my hair and then dropped to the ground, cleaved from its hand by a long black blade.
A pair of mighty obsidian wings flung demons away from me.
A formidable, gorgeous warrior with the face of an angel descended from the sky above and planted himself in front of me, his sapphire eyes burning with dark, heavenly fire.
