Revelations (The Revelations Series Book 1) by Pamela Daniell Page B

was her own fault she had been sent here. She had viscously murdered a man by stabbing him in the neck with a broken beer bottle simply because he had hit on her in a bar after she had asked him to leave her alone. The son of a bitch deserved it. Of course, the jury didn’t see it that way and had sentenced her to death. Now, she was doomed to an eternity of torture in this fire pit.
    There was no light, just an eerie blackness that was illuminated by fire pits that never faded. The smell of burning human flesh wafted through the air as the flesh of the newly appointed citizens of hell seared and charred as they fell through the layers of lava into hell. The screaming seeped into your subconscious until you felt you would go mad; and that’s when you realized, it was you who was screaming as you tried to dig your way out. But, what Shenna would never admit was that she liked it here. The screaming to her was a kind of music that had its own unique beat.
    She rounded the corner of a wall embedded with human bones, and entered Dango’s cave. Dango was Lucifer’s right hand man and no one dared to disobey him. The moment she stepped into his domain the sounds ceased. She guessed being a leader had its advantages down here. She smiled as she cast a glance at the wall behind his chair that consisted of skulls from the humans who had sold their souls to him.
    Dango glided in from another room, a black misty form of the tall, handsome man he once was. He stopped in front of her and solidified his body. “Good, Sheena, you’re here,” he said. “I have a pressing matter to discuss with you.”
    “How may I help you, Sir?” Shenna walked further into the cave and stopped in front of Dango. Just being in this room made her feel weak and unworthy.
    “My dear, Shenna. I’ve been watching you and I have a job that I need you to do. It would mean once again having to walk the earth, but it’s essential I pick someone who has the capability to do what they are told, no matter the circumstance. Can you do that for me?”
    Shenna never hesitated; she knew it would be easier for her if she were loyal to Dango. Even if it meant going back to that place and walking among those wretched people once again. “Yes, what is it you need me to do?” she asked.
    “A few months ago I sent another demon to locate one who could possibly harness the power to kill us all. He located her and was able to get close enough to observe what she could do. He just contacted me with the news that she is indeed a very powerful Nephilim. He has a plan that he will soon set in motion, but I need someone I can trust to watch over him and make sure nothing goes wrong.” Dango grasped her hand and all the plans he had laid out for her instantly entered her mind.
    “I’m trusting you to help him. The angels are getting closer to finding her every day and I must be sure he is doing his job. It’s essential that when the time comes for her to choose, she chooses our side. You are to help him with whatever he needs. Do you understand what’s at stake here?”
    “I do. Is there anything else, Sir?”
    “No, you know what must be done, now go. Don’t let me down, Shenna.”
    “I understand. You can count on me.” Shenna glided out of the cave toward the room where she would find her way to the top once again. The assignment was entrusted to her and she wasn’t going to fail Dango. She knew who it was she was going to help. He wasn’t just any demon, he was Jonas, Dango’s son and that meant she would have to be careful around him.
     

 

     
     
     
     
    ERIN slammed the book shut, her heart pounding as she pushed away from the desk. How could I have been so stupid? she thought, her mind racing back to when she had made the horrible mistake. This was all her fault. She had been the one to befriend the demon and allow him in their lives.
    “Damn it!” she exclaimed her hands shaking as she struggled to stay calm. They needed to get out of town and
