Chapter Three
As the couple slept and pondered on where their future lay, they were unaware of the danger that ever so slowly crept towards them. When Luella had run from the creepy Leviathan’s nest in the abandoned motel and been hit by George’s truck, she’d unwittingly let it taste her essence as she used her Angelic energies to repair her broken body meaning it could slowly siphon her life energy away as it tracked her to Syden.
It slithered along the roadside at night only, being a creature that couldn’t stand the sunlight which was perhaps its only weakness, scales dragging on the tarmac. Hissy cackles echoed through the air scaring away any wildlife in the forest near its route.
“I’ve got you now, little Angel. You can’t hide from me forever. Oh such a feast you’ve laid out for me!” It hissed to itself, pleased with its plan.
It would, of course, take the creature days to reach the small township, but once there it knew it would have a divine meal waiting for its consumption. As far as the creature was concerned, the only thing in the future of the Angel Luella and her family was death, for Angels could not survive on Earth without their Angelic essence. Once a Leviathan had a sample of Angel essence, it could leave its nest and nothing could stand in its way, but for an experienced Angel who knew that sunlight would kill the creature. Even now, Luella would feel weak as her energies were slowly drained by the creature that siphoned off the link which allowed it to travel and more so after using her energies before her 25th birthday to prove her point to shallow little girls.
