CHAPTER THIRTEEN: FROM GREAT TO HORRIBLE

That summer was great. I couldn't wait to start law school. Jess and I spent another summer at the Moore's place. It was just as great as the first time. I enjoyed hearing Sophie talk about college. Will excitedly talked about his school. To make it better, Tommy and Vanessa were expecting another child. She was already two months along.

Even though we were supposed to marry that December we decided to wait a little longer. Jess and her mother wanted it to be perfect. Also, money was a problem. They were rich, but sometimes just the dress could be half a million dollars. They wanted to wait until we had time off to be there for most of the planning. Then, I wanted Dean to be there.

Jess and I were so happy. We celebrated life. There was much to celebrate. Life, our relationship, and making it through our first semester. Life flew by and everything was great.

Zach and Emily got married in early July. It was a very small wedding. Only about thirty people were in attendance. The wedding was great. I got to see Becky's boyfriend. He seemed nice enough. I also got to meet my friends' parents. It made me think of my wedding. I hated that my Mom and Dad wouldn't be here. Hopefully Dean would be.

Then, it was time to stand. Holding Jess' hand I watched Emily walk down the aisle. Her hair was done up, her dress perfect, and her smile was so wide that it looked painful. I watched as they got married. It was great.

Soon the summer ended, Jess and I went back to school. She was in medical school and I was in law school. School being school, it was hard at first. Jess and I had a few fights. But we made up and things were great.

Of course everything had to go wrong. On August 29th, it did. Our front door went flying off its hinges and went through the window. I jumped up and pulled a gun out of its hiding spot. Standing in front of me was a young military man.

"Wow, Sammy. No need for the gun." He flicked his wrist and my gun flew out of my hand.

"Who are and what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Jake and I am a special child." The man's eyes flashed yellow and he smiled sinisterly.

I felt dizzy and out of my breath. My eyes widened. I thought once Azazel died that they would be gone. They should all be normal again.

"What?" I whispered.

"Yep. Dean was so worried about you and Jess that he overlooked us. Just because Azazel is dead doesn't mean we aren't still powerful. You however aren't anyone. You aren't one of us. So you are useless and must die."

"No." Jess whispered in horror.

"Don't worry. You can join him. In Hell." The man started towards us.

"Leave her alone!" I yelled running to him.

I punched him in the face and it had no effect. Jake barely touched my arm and I felt the bone break. I yelled out in pain and punched Jake harder. My fist was throbbing, but he took a step back. Suddenly, the man grabbed me and threw me into the wall. I coughed from all the dust.

"I think that is enough Sammy." I heard him say.

I had just gotten out when I felt something claw across my chest. The force of it knocked me the ground. I felt claws dig into my ankles and dragged me across the floor quickly. Then I was airborne. I heard Jess scream as I fell.
