Nebulous: Order of the Fallen - Book Two
Page 16
“I, for one, am not at all surprised.” Ramiel moved closer, his eyes soft and full of adoration. He took my hand tightly between his. He gazed down at me, so many emotions flickering across his usually stoic face. “Erela, there’s so much I need to speak with you about. There’s so much I want to say. I hate how we left things. I hate how much I kept from you.”
And there was so much I wanted to say to him. And do with him. Preferably with all of our clothes on the floor. My cheeks heated, and my entire body warmed up several degrees. A little flame might have even sprouted up on the tip of my nose.
Lilith tutted and shoved her way between us, gently taking my hand away from Ramiel’s. “Oh, shoo. You’ll have plenty of time to talk to her later. She needs to rest now. That means no more of that flame business for now, so all four of you need to give her a little space until she recovers. We need to make sure she gets her strength back up as soon as possible. The state of the world and all that.”
My ears pricked up. That didn’t sound good.
“What are you talking about?” I asked, voice still rough. “Don’t tell me the state of the world has gotten worse while I’ve been unconscious.”
She turned back around, gave me a sad smile. “We managed to close the portal, but it hasn’t done the world much good. The demons have gotten organized. They’re planning coordinated attacks, to cause the last of the human civilizations to fall. And then there are the Archangels. They’ve found out what you are. Michael fled Celestia, but they’re out for blood. Word on the street is that they’re going to head to earth next. To here. We need to find a more secure base than this one.”
She paused as Mr. Whiskerson snuggled closer against my cheek, his little whiskers twitching with nervous energy, and then continued. “They want to destroy the Nephilim.”
