Becca looked into the barrel of the gun, her heat beating faster.
“You can't be serious,” she whispered.
“But I am. anda got rid of the ruler and ventured to the outside world! anda put us all at risk! And anda have the nerve to call yourself a hero. Treason is your crime. Against the master and us!”
“I never meant to! It wasn't my fault! Nothing is my fault!”
“Pathetic. Begging for your life. The chosen one? Ha! Can't even save herself. And your magic won't work the light infused your senses with a paralyzing gene.”
“So anda fight like a coward?”
Becca heard the click of the gun. She shut her eyes tight, tears appearing in her eyes. I'm so sorry! For everything! Robin...Willow...I Cinta anda both!
“The warrior cries? Fine. Your death shall be pathetic.”
A sudden blast sounded and Becca felt a surge of heat and shattered glass. She opened her eyes to find someone standing between her and the pointed gun. With wings outspread, Becca could see a scythe in one hand. Short dirty blonde hair covered his head. When he spoke, his voice was threatening and dangerous.
“Step away from my lamb!”
“Kai?”
Shallow studied the Angel in front of her.
“You claim she's a lamb? This girl is a serpent! She deserves to die!”
“Release your weapon!”
“What?!”
Kai's scythe moved and a sudden blast of wind and api, kebakaran poured out of it.
“Release the gun!”
Becca watched the woman's hand light on fire, the gun falling to the floor. Kai grabbed the locket and gun, moving his scythe again. Shallow froze, her body trapped in ice. Becca looked up at her savior, the wings disappearing and his hair turning brown. He kneeled down seterusnya to her, wiping away the glass shards.
“Are anda alright?” he asked.
“Kai...how'd anda know I was here?”
He smiled.
“I felt your presence. I knew anda were missing cause I overheard four others talking about you.”
“Oh.”
“Relax little lamb. You're selamat, peti deposit keselamatan now.”
“Don't call me that. I'm no lamb.”
“Sparrow then. But that's the last nick-name I change.”
Becca smiled.
“If I could alih Kai, I'd hug you.”
“Now's not the time birdie. We must go. While anda looked around, she called in reinforcements. Come. I'll take anda to my place. anda can rest there.”
“Okay. I trust you.”
Kai picked her up in his arms, his wings coming back out. He jumped out the broken window, and flew into the sky. He flew into the clouds, keeping Becca close.
“You can't be serious,” she whispered.

"I don't wanna die!" the boy howled, digging his face into Revenge's knee.
"You have no say in the matter."
"I do." Revenge growled.
The assassin turned his head slightly before tossing a pisau in Revenge's direction. It caught him in the chink in his armor. Literally. Revenge glared at the blood seeping from the wound. The black clad assassin continued his approach. Revenge punched him in the throat, crushing his windpipe, causing the man to stumble backwards.
"You wanna play with knives?" Revenge yelled. "Two can play at that game!"
For a second, the assassin couldn't breathe. Then, he stood up, rubbing his neck.
"No way." Revenge muttered, stepping back.
"Red Revenge. For interfering with the mission, anda too shall feel the talons of the Court of Owls!"
Night of the Owls.
Coming Soon.

For a moment, Revenge was pressed against her in the narrow hallway in complete darkness. Then, there was a light, from Revenge's mask, and the hallway was lit in a dim red light.
"Ladies first." Revenge said.
"Scared?" Batgirl asked.
"Funny." Revenge said. "I'll take point."
Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.
"I've got the light." Revenge said. "And the armor, and the brains."
"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.
Revenge turned and tossed a dagger into the darkness behind them. It went farther than the three feet of the iron door through which they had entered.
"Any lebih smart remarks?"
