CHAPTER 1

ANGELS AND DEMONS

'Angles, Demons, Angels, Demons, Angels, Demons, Demons, Demons, Demons!!!'

"AAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH" I had screamed. My nightmares. I'd been having them for nights. Fortnights. I couldn't control my dreams anymore. Not like I used to. They were coming closer. The Angels and the Demons. They were different, yet so similar. The Angels wanted power, the Demons wanted power. The Angels wanted to kill some people and the Demons the same. Only, neither wanted to kill people. No, only Death wanted to kill people. Him and enemy, Life, were so different. Yet their servants, Angels and Demons, were as similar as you can get without being the same.

I had looked at the clock. Stupid of me. It had been broken ever since the week before when my brother, Sam, had fallen on it. I had known for well it wasn't 9:27 am. I had turned on my TV and muted it. It had been 1:43am.

That's when it all went wrong. I had gone downstairs to get a drink of water. Standing outside the window had been an Angel. I had frozen on the spot. I remember turning around and I half expected what I saw. A Demon. A big gulp. A booming laugh. I hadn't expected that. Surely Mum and her boyfriend Graham would wake up soon. I had looked into the eyes of the Demon and at once I had known it was true. They were dead. So was Sam. My eyes had filled with tears and my heart rage and anger. Then he came down the stairs.
