Chapter Twenty Six

One down...

For the first time this whole trip, Fabian and I get to sit in the front, while Mark and Rippir sleep in the back. On my nose rests a pair of black sunglasses, shading me from the bright rising sun. After 20 minutes of driving, Fabian's eyes grew heavy, and he ended up falling asleep like everyone else. 

I wish I wasn't alone. 

I never really realized just how much people can influence how you act. before I met Rippir, murder was an unthinkable means of action, but it was fun. I hit a larger pothole in the road, that sends Fabian into the dash board head first.

''Ow f**k!'' he spits out, rubbing at the sore spot.

''Sorry!'' I cry, hiding back a smile.

''It's okay...sexy'' I give him a side ways glance, and see that there's a smug smile across his face, and lighting up his red eyes. He unbuckles his seat belt, and slides closer to me. ''You got amazing eyes you know that?'' Looks like I'm driving with the fuckboy, I think to myself. a warm, pale arm is wrapped around me ''Where did we leave off the other night babe?'' I push him away and give him a smile.

''Sorry sweets, but I'm not open,'' I joke. I look over at him, and feel my pulse quicken a tad. Fabians eyes go wide as he peers out the wind shield. 

''F**K!'' I curse out as I turn the wheel sharply to avoid eating the creature on the road. The tires squeal, and scream as the car goes off towards to ditch. 

''What the f**k is your problem?!'' Rippir spits out from the back. 

Fabian and I stare out the window, and the air goes silent as we watch the thing on the road. One second it's road kill, then it stands up, bones cracking and snapping as it gets up. It screams a loud, high pitched screams comes from it's open mouth, with teeth like razors. It goes back down to the asphalt, on all fours. claws glint in the sun, and a slimy black tail whips back and forth.

''What is that?'' Coral whispers from the back.

''I don't know, but I think it has friends...'' Mark states as the silhouettes of figures emerge, coming closer and closer. 

Something slams on the roof. I watch as a black feather floats down from up top.

''It's them...'' I say, listening to nothing but the frantic heart beats,and raged breaths.

''No matter what happens... leave no one behind,'' Mark says.

I open the car door, and fire up my hands, getting ready for whatever is outside the car. I was quickly kicked in the side, skidding on to the road. I roll to my back, just in time to catch the thing with sharp teeth, lunging for my throat. The smell of death, and decay hits my senses, I struggle to hold down the last meal I had. It screams in pain as a bullet is shot through it's head,  I look over and see Fabian, steps away

''Can't let a hot thing like you die,'' he smirks.

''DUCK!!'' I scream, as another one comes up from behind him. I send a ball of fire it's way, cringing against its screams. I get up off the ground, spinning to face the next deathly thing. I go to stab the least human looking thing, and gasp is shock as my hand goes right through. I fire up my fist that is lodged in it's gut, and step back as it burns to a crisp.

Things got worse from there, more and more appeared. with every death, came four more. I spin around, looking, praying that everyone I love is still alive. 

I scream in horror as I watch a knife slice through Coral's side. I run to her, and rip the monster away from her. I hit it with a hail storm of fire.

''Coral...'' I cry, as she falls to the ground in pain. I catch her before she hits the ground, ''Coral!'' I cry in anguish. I rip off my jacket, and press it to her wound ''HELP!!!!!!'' I plead, hoping one of them hears me, but Fabian is gone. Rippir holds back six fallen angels, and Mark is on Rippir's back, trying to help him. I look down at Coral, seeing my tears mix with Corals.

''You're gonna be okay. You'll be okay. I have to get you out of here'' her eyes, started taking on a dull look as the life starts leaving her. I scoop her up, I stumble to the car, but am hit down when I'm clawed down my back.

I scream in pain as I feel the warmth of blood soaking through my shirt. a gun shot goes off, and the thing crumples to the ground. An arm goes around my shoulders, helping me get up. Rippir picks the motionless Coral, and follows behind Mark and I ,we clear the path to the car.

''Wheres Fabian?!'' Mark yells from the driver seat.

''He left,'' Rippir spits out.

''What?!'' I'm shocked. How could he?

''I watched him leave, that's why Coral got stabbed,'' Mark fills in. 

Coral is laid out in the back, and I hang over her, forgetting about the gashes in my back. 

''I can do this, I can do this...'' I whisper to myself, as my hands heat up, and I try my best to melt over the wound.
