Synopsis
"You can fight all you want, Luna, but it's always going to come down
to this: You love me and I love you. We cannot be apart or it will kill
us both..." -Gabriel Slade
Gabriel Slade has returned to take his rightful place as Captain of
The General's army. Luna stayed behind to nurse a broken heart and a
precious secret that could mean the end of all mankind.
Human's possessed by the spirits of the dead are searching the earth
for a child that will have the power to bring the apocolypse upon the
world. Gabriel must find this child if he hopes to keep order and peace
with the humans, but his heart keeps getting in the way. He must save
the world from darkness, while making the one decision that could cost
him everything.
Gabe once thought that roaming the earth as a hideous, angry beast
was his curse. Now, without the love of his life he feels more helpless
than before.
Excerpt
There wasn't time for that though. His chest throbbed like there was a beast within him trying to escape and he knew all about how that felt. The men's expectant faces, the urging, this was his new purpose.
"With me," he ordered, his gruff voice giving no room to argue.
They were in the next room a split second later. It took another second
to assess the situation. There was a woman in her underclothes with her
back pressed the wall. She screamed again when they appeared. He could
feel the fear rolling off her. A man stood between her and the door.
"I don't need the Host of Heaven." The man spoke and his voice was high and low at the same time, English and Austrian.
"Who has possessed you?" Gabe demanded. At the word 'possessed' the woman looked at him, her eyes wide.
"Who or what I am is of no concern to you. What you should ask is why I
am here." It turned to look at him. It's neck swivelled in a non-human
way and it's eyes were black as the darkest night.
"Why are you here? What is your name?" Gabe let all of his power and
authority drip into his voice. It dropped an octave and vibrated through
the room. The woman blinked at him.
The possessed man turn it's body to face the direction it was looking.
"We will be the ruination of this world until we have the child. When
they child is in our possession we will feed from it until we can bring
forth the pestulance upon this world. We will rule mankind until the
darkening of the sun."
Gabe nodded. "Michael, get the woman."
"Yes, sir."
"Who is this child?" he asked, but the creature within the man's body
only cackled. "What do you need it for? Why is it so special?" He
motioned the other host to join Michael in protecting the woman. They
appeared around her, forming a hedge of protection.
"We want it's blood."
The creature lunged at Gabe, sending him flying backward into the wall
with it's force and speed. Gabe pushed it away and called his swords to
manifest.
"You cannot save the child," it taunted. "You will not save the child. We will reign victorious."
"Who sent you?" Gabe growled.
"The high one." The creature lunged at him again.
"Gabriel, don't!" Michael shouted just before Gabe skewered it.
At the last moment he let his swords go and they dissipated into thin
air. Gabe was tackled again. Sharp nails dug into the flesh of his back
as it latched onto him. Razor sharp teeth sank into his neck. Gabe
roared with anger and pain. He tried to push the creature away, but it
had a tight hold on him. Its claws dug deeper into his back.
Gabe called forth the Light and sent it into the creature with one short
burst. It screeched. It's claws ripped the flesh and fabric from Gabe's
back as it sailed across the room and against the far wall. Gabe pushed
himself up from where he'd fallen on his face.
Michael stood over the creature where it writhed and moaned on the floor.
"Are you going to finish it?" Gabe teetered on his feet and fell to the edge of the bed, woozy.
"It is still human, Gabriel." Michael looked at him with concern. "Are you alright?"
"I don't know." Gabe touched his neck. His fingers came a away smeared with blood and a thick black, oily substance. "Damn."
"You've been poisoned," Michael said unnecessarily.
Gabe groaned. Or was it a growl? He couldn't tell. His vision darkened and his hearing blinked in and out.
"Can..urn it off?"
Urn it off? Gabe tried to think, but he couldn't seem to get the right
thoughts. The poison burned through his system and his body went rigid.
"What is this? What's going on here?"
Was that the manager? Something thumped. Oh, it was his body hitting the
floor. His head slumped against the worn carpet. He tried to blink the
blackness out of his eyes.
"Burn it off!" Michael was in his face screaming.
