Chapter Seven

Ellie was sitting against a tree at the edge of the meadow and closed her eyes, connecting to the natural world around her. She could have gotten lost in the scent of flowers and the songs of the birds, but this was not a day to relax. She felt the presence of another person sitting next to her. She opened her eyes and recognized him right away, which made her scoot away from him. He smiled at her with a hint of wickedness that gave her a chill down my spine.

"Hello, Darling. Nice spot for a picnic." He said with a hint of wickedness in his voice. "I think it is about time I claim what is mine." He said as he brushed her hair out of her face.

Ellie got onto her feet and backed away from Bertil.

"You don't need to be afraid." He said as he got onto his feet with a frustrated look on his face. "Just because I am a demon and you are an angel, it does not mean it can't work."

"That is true, but you are only out to do evil things. That is the reason it cannot work." She said as her team revealed themselves.

Dean was the first one who got close enough to attack. He was able to hold his own for a while, but he was pushed back eventually. Dante took the opportunity to get into a sword battle with Bertil and managed to stab him in a vital location. Bertil staggered backwards and fell over. He looked at Ellie with the last bit of strength he had and said, "I'm sorry." Then, he was finally dead.
