Soaring Wings

"Alright, what was going on back there?" I ask.

"Those are the people who work for Lucifer. They were probably coming to take you to him" Torin explains.

"Where are we going?" I wonder, not recognizing any of the streets or houses.

"We are going to the Hall. It's like the meeting place for all the nephilim. We need to find some people to protect you." He says.

"But won't you be there to protect me?" I ask, with a worry in my voice.

I can't imagine not being around Torin most of the time. I assumed that he would be the one showing me how to use my wings and how to fight, but maybe I assumed wrong. "Sam I will be with you, protecting you, and helping you all I can, but one of the ways I am going to protect you is get some close people I know to be around you. Trust me, you will get along well with them." He promises.

We arrive later at an old run down motel.

"What are we doing here?" I say taking in the broken roof and smashed boarded up windows. Torin laughs and gets out of the car. I get out, following him. He walks to the side of the building and opens a side door. From there he goes to a back room and opens a door. We walk down a small flight of stairs. I see light shining in front of Torin. I step out from behind him and I see a well lit hallway with a chandelier.

What is this place?" I curiously ask.

"This," Torin says, "is the Hall. It's a meeting place, a training physicality, and a hospital for injured nephilim."

I hear the faint sounds of swords crashing and as we walk the sound gets louder.

"This is one of the people I want you to meet. She may seem a little... shocking at first, but trust me, she is cool." Torin says.

We walk into the training room and I see a girl with long golden hair holding a long sword flying in the air, fighting a man in a large body suit. the man can't let out his wings because of the suit so he is dangling from a harness fighting back. After a couple of minutes, she lands and retracts her wings.

"Good session today, Max. See you tomorrow." She says. She walks towards us.

"Torin!" She says. "Who is this?"

"Macy, this is Sam. Sam, this is Macy. I'm sure you will get along well."

"Oh, cool, nice to meet you." Macy greets me.

"Yeah, nice to meet you, too." I reply, politely.

Torin pulls me away when Macy walks back to put away her sword.

"Don't ever show anyone your wings unless I'm around. I don't know how they will react when they see them. And, also sometimes demons can make you think they are someone you know." He says.

"Okay, I won't show them." I assure him, worriedly.

Can someone really want to kill me this badly?
