The Chosen Knights (Read Prequel--The Angel Knights first) (The Angel Knights Series Book 2) by Mary Ting Page B

stood in front of me. “They feed on humans for pleasure, for revenge. Maybe if you hurry, your family could help save lives.” His eyes beamed with admiration.
    “How?” I asked, not sure of what he was trying to say. Surely he had no idea of what we were.
    Goose’s eyebrows pinched together adamantly. He pointed to the wings on his T-shirt. “Because—you can fly.”

 
    Chapter 10

    I ran out of Jack’s house in less than a heartbeat. Goose knew I wasn’t human, and for some reason it didn’t worry me. I figured he wouldn’t say a word.
    “Goose. What did you say to Lucia?” I heard loud and clear before I entered my house. Even though I was in complete darkness, I could clearly see everything around me. Knowing the demons had been floating around my house minutes before made goose bumps prickle over every inch of me.
    I grabbed my phone and called Zach and my uncle, but the calls went straight to voicemail. I thought about speaking to Zach through my mind, but remembered it would be a beacon to attract demons to me. Seeing a note on my desk, I picked it up and read it.
     
    Lucia,
    We're going to Black Sand Beach.
     
    Zach had written the note. It was his handwriting for sure. But why did I doubt myself? He’d never written a note to me. I guessed he left it on account of my uncle not wanting us to communicate telepathically. It was the only reason I could think of why he would.
    I paced my room as I held the note in my hand. I couldn’t stay home, knowing humans were in danger. Why would Zach tell me they’d gone to Black Sand Beach? Was he telling me to go there? What to do? Tossing the note aside, I grabbed the car keys, ran out and jumped in the car. I quickly checked my phone once more and drove off when I saw I hadn’t received a text back from my uncle or Zach.
    Since I’d never driven at night—actually, only having driven once with Uncle Davin—my driving skills weren’t the best, but I trusted my coordination. Luckily, there were only a few cars around, but at the same time, I might have felt a bit safer if there were more. I felt like the only person alive on the island. As I drove along the dark, one-way road, I realized I had no idea where I was going, so I entered Black Sand Beach on the GPS. It took me several tries to get it right, not being familiar with all the buttons on the car.
    Zach, I’m coming to you. I communicated to him with my mind, but there was no answer. I immediately regretted it, especially when I heard a thump on the roof of the car, but I’d had no choice. Desperate times called for desperate measures. Hopefully, it wasn’t anything to worry about. Another loud thump caught my attention. Holy Crap. It had to be a demon. Should I stop the car or swerve to shake it off? I stiffened when I heard another thump. That was three.
    I almost flew out of the car when a black mist came straight through the roof to the passenger seat and turned into a figure. Unsure whether to stop the car and try to escape, I decided to play it out. I was on the verge of wielding my bow when a familiar masculine voice sent tingles through me, and I caught the familiar scent of sweet coconut.
    “I told you to stay home. What part of stay home did you not understand?” Eli sounded angry.
    My jaw dropped as I gasped at this newfound revelation. However, it wasn’t all that new. I’d had my suspicions, so why was I surprised? He was a Possessor demon.
    I frowned, but Eli couldn’t see my expression. Pressing the gas pedal harder as anger brewed inside me, I made sure my eyes were glued to the road ahead. “Why didn’t you tell me you were a Possessor demon? Are you here to kill me? No —are you here to try to stop me from helping the humans?”
    I got a glimpse of his eyebrows arching as he said, “Neither. Not all demons are evil.” His lips curled mischievously. “I’m just good at being naughty.” Despite his arrogant tone, he made it sound somehow charming.
    Too busy drooling
