“STAY BACK DEMON! THIS IS A PLACE OF GOD.” The priest shouted.
Even from the 20 feet away Kat could still see the creature’s reaction. A smile. A flash of white teeth. It took a few confident steps forward, locking its red eyes onto its targets.
As it approached Kat noticed its skin was simmering. Whisps of smoke were rising off it, but this did not deter the creature.
Then a blast of pure white light filled the church. Not a corner or crevice of darkness was left untouched. The light was too bright for Kat and she shielded her eyes while pulling Sam’s head into her hips.
Kat followed his gaze and found the source of her temporary blindness. Standing in the frame where the stain glass used to be was an even more beautiful and impressive piece of art.
His torso was bare and covered in muscles. Bare description. The most breath taking part was his wings, although only partially extended they were bare fit.
The creature crouched down close to the ground for split second and then threw itself through the air towards the angel.
The angel glanced across to Kat. “You. Hide in the back. And take the priest quiet, they’re attracted to him.”
The angel turned as if to leave, but his eyes were still fixed on Kat. She felt the scar on her back tingle. His mouth broke into a smirk and then he left with a great thrust of his wings. The only confirmation that he had even been here was the body now lying on the floor.
