The Undead Heart

Potter yelled back. “Right behind you!”
“Seanán!” he shouted back, ducking under the other vampyre’s fist.
Potter darted a glance at him. “What?!”
“Duck!” Richard heard Damon shout.
He crouched to the ground just as the silver sword swung through the air, chopping off the vampyre’s head. “Thanks,” Richard told him.
“Go!” Damon yelled and launched himself back into the battle.
Richard paused long enough to verify that Tiarnán still had his head, and then bolted into the woods after Elderson. He’d only ran a half a mile before Potter caught up to him.
“That motherfucker killed my son!” he yelled to Potter. “He killed Seanán!”
“Damn it! Where’s Tiarnán?” Potter asked.
“Back there, on the ground. I don’t know what’s wrong with him, but he still has his head.”
“Beck?” Potter asked with concern.
“She’s alive. I can hear her heartbeat,” he said. “Jenny?”
“I don’t know. I lost sight of her when the fight started.”
He wanted to tell Potter that he was sure Jenny was fine, but he didn’t want to give him false hope. The truth was that he didn’t know who else might be dead. His focus right now was to catch and kill Royal Elderson. They chased Elderson’s scent through the woods, and out onto the street.
They were running flat out down the road, past cars in broad daylight, but he couldn’t worry about that now.
“There he is!” Potter shouted, pointing down the street toward the bridge.
They’d nearly caught up to him when it happened. Elderson jumped over the guardrail and dropped fifty feet into the water below.
“Damn it!” Richard roared, and dove in after hm.
He heard Potter hit the water a split second later. Together they searched the murky water for over an hour before swimming back to the bank under the bridge.
“I can’t see shit in this nasty ass river,” Potter said, pulling himself out of the water.
“He’s gone.”
“We’ll find him,” Potter said, putting his hand on Richards shoulder. Don’t worry.”
“You can bet your ass that I’m going to find him, and when I do, I’m going to make him wish he’d died with his brother,” Richard growled.
Potter nodded in agreement. “Let’s get back and check on the others.”
That was fine. They would go home, take care of their family, and grieve for their dead. Then he would show Elderson how it felt to become truly hunted.

When Angels Fall
Danielle Coulter had never believed in anything except her mother, hard work and heartache. She never had time for religious fairytales. But when her mother died, Dani was forced to believe…or die.
Not only was she forced to accept that God and Lucifer are real, but also that she is the last living descent of God on Earth. An undeniable fact when the Archangel Gabriel fell to Earth to protect her.
Archangel Gabriel; banished from Heaven over four million years ago for refusing to kill his brother, Lucifer, was about to get a second chance to re- enter Heaven. He was sent to Earth on a mission from his Father to protect the last Daughter of God; the last woman to carry the Blood of God on Earth, and kill his brother, once and for all.
Gabriel had never expected to feel anything for Dani, but he soon found himself willing to fight Heaven and Hell to keep her safe, even if it meant his own destruction.
