Chapter 1 Excerpt
Easily moving across the length of the Golden Gate Bridge, he felt the accelerator sinking toward the floor, the massive engine of the SUV easily accommodating the demand for speed.
He didn't need to be instructed to accelerate. He understood exactly what she was asking. Anakim lands were protected and as soon as they crossed into their border, they would be safe from the demon's advance.
Thick fog rolled in, gathering around the vehicle and surrounding it in dark clouds. The windows became wet with condensation, obscuring his view of the path ahead. The vehicle trembled, fishtailing over the slick asphalt, the tires spinning without traction, coasting on the pools of water that came with the fog. "Fuck," Caleb bit out. "Hang on."
The condensation around the SUV collected, solidified, then separated into eight humanoid forms -- Water Demons. They shrieked an ear-piercing call, rattling the reinforced windows. Caleb's eyes darted to the rearview mirror. He could see Samantha protectively hunched over Ellie's father. She had her eyes closed and was rapidly mouthing something as she swayed with the movements of the car.
Two of the demons swung from either side of the car and onto the top of the hood. They pushed their faceless heads into the windshield, drowning the glass in running water. Caleb stomped down on the breaks, lurching the car forward and flinging the demons off the hood.
Caleb tried to drive away, stomping heavily on the gas pedal, making the tires squeal over the pavement. A demon jumped on the hood, the heavy impact popping the back of the SUV up in the air. He heard Samantha let out a small yelp as the SUV landed heavily on the back tires. "Is Will okay?" he called back as he stared at the Water Demon trying to push through the windshield. It was craning its neck to catch a glimpse of the passengers in the back.
"They want Will," Samantha hissed. She had him completely shielded underneath her body. In the darkness, it would have been difficult to discern another body underneath her, let alone identify who it was.
"Why?" Caleb growled, keeping his eyes on the demon. It had grown, combining with the other demons and forming one huge being with the strength of a rushing river. It started punching at the windshield. "The glass is reinforced, but all it will take is one crack and these bastards will drown us."
"He's a threat. They want him dead," Samantha yelled over the shrieking. The demons were doubling their effort to crack the glass.
His eyes darted toward Isabel. She sat calmly in her seat, but her back was rigid, her head held high. "Caleb, let's take this battle outside." It was an order from the High Mother.
"The demons are not affected by any type of weapons. The only thing that has stopped them has been heat; fire from Adam, lighting from Ellie. Nic slowed them down with a huge blast of air, but it was temporary."

"Let's see how they react to Earthly powers, shall we?"
