The Devil's Daughter by Hannah mangan (most life changing books .TXT) 📕

me, I turned blocking his first swipe, but the impact made my teeth snap together, and then I jumped back. But he kept coming, and I kept trying to block, but then he kicked out his foot, and it connected with my stomach. I flew across the yard landing in a heap. Will cried out.
I clutched my rips and tried to get back up but Gabriel kicked me back down. I was on my back. He kicked my sword away. “Gabriel, please don’t!” yelled Will. Gabriel ignored him and pointed his sword to my throat. “You see, you can’t win” he said. I smiled through my pain, I’d had worse, “I’m not done yet” I said, and then I closed my eyes and focused, calling fire to me. And then raising my hands and letting it explode from me at Gabriel. He flew backwards and hit the house with a crash, but landing in a crouch, with an incredulous look.
I jumped up grabbing my sword and letting it ignite with fire, and getting back in a defensive position. I let my wings extend. Will was watching me with wide eyes, and then he jumped in between us, but Gabriel just waved his hand and knocked Will off his feet with a rippling of the ground. He went flying, and then Gabriel yelled “Fiera!” and started coming after me. But he’d said my real name, well the name Lucifer had given me. Which was not good because it would call – and at that moment a huge demon with fiery red eyes and huge black wings appeared. His sword was made of a black metal that was ignited in fire. Oh damn, was all I could think. Now I would have to fight both of them, because I was not going back to hell. But I was going to lose. I closed my eyes briefly.
“Come to me, Fiera” said the huge Demon. “Like Hell” I said sending a bolt of fire at him which he blocked easily with his sword. “No she dies” said Gabriel. The demon turned its red eyes to Gabriel. “I think not” he said. I raised my sword, getting ready to fight. Then Gabriel sent the ground rippling towards the Demon, sending him flying and then Gabriel lunged at me with his sword. I dodged to the side but it tore into my wing. I cried out in pain, stumbling back. And then the demon and Gabriel locked in a furious battle. Will had jumped up and was trying to make his way over to me but then Gabriel sent out a ripple of the earth throwing me into the air and off the side of the cliff. I heard Will call my name and then all I heard was the rushing of the wind as I soared downwards. I tried to flap my wings but only one would flap and the other just ignited red agony in me and I almost blacked out. I spun, but kept falling. I was going to die, I thought, but then strong arms caught me. It was Will. I looked up into his honey golden eyes. And then we were soaring upward.
Gabriel called something at us but Will just kept going. We soared away fast. Not looking back. We flew for a long time and then stopped in a small town when we got far enough away. We landed in a small forest. He laid me down on the soft grass. “Are you okay?” he asked me. No, I felt like an old, broken toy. “I’ll be fine” I said, “And Will, I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you” tears were coming to my eyes. “Shhh” he said, brushing the tears from my cheeks, “Its fine, I don’t care” he said. This was what I’d hoped he’d say but I never thought he would. I pulled him to me and crushed his lips to mine. After a minute he pulled away. “I’m going to go into town and find a first aide kit” he said, “You just stay here and rest” he said, and then headed off into the forest.
I lay there staring up at the clouds for a while and then I must have dazed off because the next thing I know, Will is leaning over me. My eyes fluttered open, “I’m going to clean your cuts” he said, “This might sting” he said. He pressed a cloth, wet with antiseptic, into the cut on my wing. I bit back a scream, and closed my eyes in pain. “I’m sorry” he said.
Once he’d cleaned it, he wrapped a white bandage around it. And then he cleaned a cut on my forehead and one on my arm. “Now try and disappear your wings” he said. I closed my eyes and tried to focus. It was difficult but after a minute I managed it. Even though my wings were no longer there I could still feel it, like a phantom pain. Then he felt around my ribs and I winced. He said I probably had at least two broken ribs, so then he wrapped those up to, and then he helped me up. “I reserved us a room at a motel, under the names Susan and David Martin” he said.
I nodded and we made our way through the forest and onto the road. The walk was only fifteen minutes from there. We checked in and then headed to our room. It was small and it only had one bed. I laid down. “What are we going to do?” I asked. “Whatever you were doing before, except now ill be with you” he said. I smiled at him, “I love you” I said. He leaned down and kissed my cheek, “And I love you” he said and then laid down beside me. I fell asleep cuddled in his arms.
CHAPTER 3
When I woke up, I felt a bit better. I could feel Will stroking my arm, and my shoulder. It was very relaxing. “Where did you get this?” asked Will once I was awake, tracing a pattern on my shoulder blade. I knew it was the hand print, scar, where a demon had burned me. “Hell” I said turning to face him. “You’ve been there?” he asked. I shrugged, “I’m sure you realize who I am now” I said. He shook his head. “I’m the Devil’s daughter” I said. His eyes widened and I looked down. Then I told him about my year and hell and why he wants me. To help him conquer heaven.
When I was done Will said, “That is horrible, the things he did- they’re. They’ll pay” he said, “I won’t let them touch you again. You’ll never go back there” he said.
