Middle Demons (Angels and Demons Book 2) by Randall Morris Page A

knew his first impression with Leviathan was going to last. He was pretty sure that Leviathan was looking at him like a shiny new item for his collection or a brand new toy.
    “You are a strong one. Shadow suggested that the department of lies was mistreating you. I think it would be unfortunate to see talent go to waste like that. I’m going to give you a chance. If you complete the mission for me, you can select an open minor demon position in Tannin’s army or in Belial’s.”
    Leviathan pointed to his left as he said Belial’s name. Belial remained hidden in the smoke that surrounded him. Murmur felt an instant dislike for Belial and he didn’t think he was going to get over it. Maybe it had to do something with the fact that he wouldn’t reveal himself.
    “I am here to serve, General Leviathan. Give me a command and I will obey it.”
    “Our armies are running low on food and other supplies. Astaroth has demons gathering human souls and other things on Earth right now. I’m sending you with two other demons-in-training to Earth. I need you to kill Astaroth’s demons and steal what they have. The more souls you bring, the greater your reward will be.”
    “It will be done, General Leviathan. I’m ready to leave as soon as the other demons-in-training are ready. I won’t let you down.”

CHAPTER 14
     
    Leech made his way over to the injured Lilith and picked her up in his arms. He took her to the tent that his demons had pitched for him and placed her on the bed. He heard a noise at the entrance of the tent and immediately drew one of his pistols.
    “Don’t shoot! It’s Raven. I just wanted to check on my sister.”
    Raven slowly made her way into the tent with her hands up in the air. Leech holstered his gun. Raven looked down at the unconscious Lilith.
    “Do you think she’s prettier than me?”
    Leech continued to keep his gaze fixated on Lilith.
    “Yes.”
    Raven got in his line of sight and looked directly into his eyes.
    “How about now?”
    She slowly moved her lips toward his. When she made it within a few inches, she heard a clicking noise and felt something press against the side of her head. It was one of Leech’s guns.
    “Get the fuck out of this tent. Now.”
    Raven made it to the entrance of the tent and turned back around.
    “I can’t help but do things like that. It’s in my nature. You’re the one who’s twisted, Leech. Both of you are. You could have dozens of concubines and demonesses attending to you all the time. Why don’t you?”
    “Because I love her. I don’t expect you to understand. You had better learn to control your ‘nature’ though because if you come on to me again, I will kill you. One more thing.”
    “Yes?”
    “It’s Lord Leech. I didn’t get to where I am so demons-in-training could refer to me as just Leech. The next time you slip up, I’m going to remind you who commands this army and it won’t be a pleasant experience. You are dismissed.”
    Raven looked like she wanted to yell at him but she turned and left the tent without another word. Shortly after she left, Lilith opened her eyes. Leech realized that she was probably listening in on most of his conversation with Raven.
    “Lily, you may think I was a little too hard on her but she can’t just go around doing whatever the hell…”
    Lilith leaned up and kissed him. She put her arms around his neck and pulled him onto the bed with her.
     
     
    Gangrene stopped the three demons that approached Leech’s tent on horseback.
    “Someone is in there attacking Lord Leech. Let us pass, Gangrene.”
    Gangrene grinned up at them.
    “He’s fine. I’m pretty sure he is being attacked but I’m sure he doesn’t mind.”
    “We’re going in there to kill his attacker.”
    “He’ll kill you the second you enter that tent.”
    “Move, Gangrene. This doesn’t concern you.”
    “He’s in there with Lilith, dumbasses. Do I need to connect all the dots for you?”
    “Uh… no. Sorry. We’ll
