Chapter 4: The Nightmare.
Sean was dreaming. He knew because he'd had this dream before. But it had never been so vivid.
He was running. Away from death, away from tragedy.... only to hit the wall of red eyes and sharp teeth again. Then he saw her. His one love. He saw her get gunned down,even as he raced to save her. Then, it all went black.
Sean woke up in a cold sweat. He got up and glanced about. Back here, safe and sound in ol' Army Mobile Command Forward Unit. This thing'll take a tank shell before it see a scratch. He got up and stretched.
The AMCFU was actually just a quadruple decker RV. It had one level for communication, 2 living areas, and an armory. Coming from the era of the Vietnam war, this unit had seen a lot. Now owned by Sean, it would see a lot more. The only flaw in it was it could not provide its own supplies. It had AC, heating, beds,a kitchen,bathrooms... it had been designed for comfort. It had to have been, for the officers who were stationed in it. It was also almost completely bulletproof.
Sean jumped to the floor, and high tailed it down the stairs. He raced through the door into the cold darkness of midnight.
They had chosen to set up camp in the woods near the Golden Gate Bridge. They had a considerable camp of stuff here, but it was all they could manage. They had everything they needed, the attack would be soon.
Sean walked to the edge of one of the cliffs near the ocean. He began to scan the sky, looking for something. He then lay down on the grass and thought about what he was about to do. Fighting against demons again... both personal and physical. I'm starting to get tired of this.
He glanced around the clifftop once more, stood up and stretch, allowing giant,feathery wings to gently unfold from his back. With one mighty flap, he pushed into the air, and began to stretch his wings.
He returned shortly before dawn, climbed up the stairs, furled his wings, and went back to sleep as though nothing had ever happened.

Chapter 5: The Fight Begins!
Sean awoke to shaking and yelling, as Libby tried to wake him. "Stop shaking me, will you?!" he said. Libby stopped, giving him a fierce glare.
"You went 'out' last night, didn't you?" Libby whispered fiercely. She jumped off the bed. Sean knew what she meant. "Yes, I did. I needed to exercise. Is that so wrong?" He jumped off the bed as well, and followed her into the kitchen.
"Morning!" Charlie,Shasha, and Itchy said as they walked in. Dante, one of the 'friends' that Libby had brought with her, remained silent. "Good morning, everyone. Is everything ready?" Sean asked.
"Almost. We've just been waiting for you and your friends to wake up." Charlie said happily.
"Ok, then. Let me get them." Sean raced up the stairs and woke the rest of the group, telling them to head down to the armory to pick their weapons. He then went to the armory himself.
The armory had weapons of every type. Swords, guns, maces, you name it. Sean went to one set in particular. A pair of longswords, black as the night, with specially designed handles. He put these into their sheaths, then stuck them on his back. He also grabbed some daggers, a shortsword, and a mace before racing back up the stairs to the others.
"Ok, we're ready now. Let's go." He said, as Dante came up the stairs, carrying a similar set of weapons.
"We're going downtown. Our information leads us to believe that we'll find our fight begins there." As the RV started up, Sean walked up behind Charlie. " I have a bad feeling about this..."

Chapter 5: The Weird Outlook of Sean P. O'Farral
"This doesn't look too good..." Charlie said. They were in an alley in front of an old abandoned tavern/brewery. Standing in the doorway of the tavern, and the only entrance to the place, were 4 large Dobermans, with a patrol of an extra 8 in the tavern itself. Adding to that were 2 state of the art security cameras, 2 machine gun posts with heavy machine guns, and a manual alarm that the guards could activate should they get attacked.
"Wow...these people sure know how to feel safe." Sean said. "Yeah, dey's sure do, boss." Dante said. Well,like I always say,the more paranoid you are,the easier it make my job.Ok, anyone got any ideas?" he asked. Everyone just shook their heads, amazed that he could keep such a clear head at a time like this.
"Ok, here's what we'll do..." * * *
5 mintutes later, everyone was ready to go. Libby,Dante, and Rueban, a large German Sheperd from down south, snuck up to the guards and slit their throats before slipping back into the shadows. Then, when 4 more guards came out to see why the others were 'asleep' on the job, Sean,Charlie, and the rest of the gang charged out and killed them.
"Great work. Only 4 more guards left... I hope."Charlie said.
As they entered the building, an erie silence fell over the group. Sean drew his swords, more for reassurance then anything else.
They found and killed the last of the guards quickly. Then, they began their search of the tavern.
About an hour later, having found nothing of interest, the group prepared to enter the brewery. "Is everyone ready?" Sean asked. When everyone answered yes, he threw open the door, drawing his swords in the same motion.
The first thing you notice when you get into most places filled with metal machinary is that it is ice cold unless the machines are running. Not here. It was hot! And everything was red! Not painted, but lit by flame!
That was all our heroes were able to notice before the demons attacked. Small, firey, and devilishly clever,imps are very hard to deal with. And imps were the demons of the day. These imps were tall for their kind, about 4 feet, had small horns, and sharp teeth. They wore plate mail armor, and had short swords or axes for weapons.
Sean grinned."30? Just 30? Not much of a welcoming party." He prepared his swords. "You got dat right,Mr. Boss,man!" Dante said, grinning, as he prepared to fight off the attacking imps.
The imps stopped about 5 feet from the dogs, forming a semicircle around them. Then... "Hello, Charlie! Its been a while, hasn't it? Ever since you foiled my plans to take over heaven, I've been waiting for a chance to see you again." a deep voice purred from above their heads.

I like it so far, it still annoys me that the chapters are so short. Also, if you get confused about Dante feel free to read his bio located in the Rexx Files

Ok. I tryr to make them long, but I think people would get either bored or annoyed if I did,and I try not to focus on descriptions,which is 1/4 of writing I believe. Thanks for the advice though.

Chapter 7:.....Can Never be Broken.
The murderous feline Red stared down at the group with a smug smile on his face. He jumped down into the middle of the semi-circle, with the horde of imps behind him. The horde was growing as more demons gathered around, smiling and laughing at the inevitable battle about to take place.
"I see you've brought your old friends... and a some new ones as well!" Redd chuckled as he circled them in a predatory fashion, passing through the walls to circle behind them,and vice versa. He stopped in front of Sean."And who would you be? A new friend? An old associate?" With each new word, he would take a step, pacing around Sean, sizing him up.
Sean was frozen in place. It felt like an enormous amount of pressure was holding him still. Then, as he stood and thought, he had an idea. "Look out! Flash flood!"
Redd glanced behind him. It only took a moment, but it was enough to break the spell holding them in place. Charlie lunged at Redd, but Reed just swiped outstretched claws. Charlie lept back, but not fast enough to avoid getting claw marks across his chest.
Redd threw a blast of energy at them, knocking Charlie, Sasha, Itchy, Bess, and Sean's friends down. Sean jumped just in time to avoid being hit. He lunged at Redd, knocking him over, then hit the floor and rolled, grabbed a dagger,and threw it when he stopped.
Had Redd still been where he had stood only moments before,he would have been impaled by the dagger. But, having seen Sean grab the dagger, he hadn't stoob back up, but rolled nearer to the imps. Dante rushed at him, chopping downwards with both swords. Redd jumped up,avoiding both swings by inches. Dante followed through by lauching forward,using his swords to launch off with, and taking them with him when he passed.
Redd landed and spun, racing into the horde of demons. "This isn't over! Demons! Attack!"
All at once, the horde rushed forward. "Form a semi circle around the door and back that way slowly!" Charlie and Sean both yelled. Everyone did as they said, with Sean and Charlie at point. Libby was to Sean's left, Sasha to Charlies right, and everyone else fanning out from there.
Hacking and slashing, they held off wave after wave of demons, backing slowly towards the door to the tavern. Reaching the door, Charlie and Sasha directed who went through to safety,when. Sean was the last one through. He slammed the door shut in the face of the demon who tried to follow him, and, after locking and barricading the door, ran after the others, who were already outside.
"That went well." Sean said. A weak round of laughter emitted from the panting dogs. Then,suddenly, a cruel laugh emitted from the top of the building, sending everyone into silence.
"Hello, brother!" bellowed the black dog on the roof of the building.
* * *
Farren had been watching his brother and the others for some time now. Now that they were out in the open and exhausted, he guessed it was a good a time as any to reveal himself."Hello,brother!" he bellowed.

.Chapter 8:An Interesting Story.
Upon seeing his brother, Sean immiediatly spread his wings and launched into the air. He charged his brother, who grew large,black leathery wings and launched into the air as well, dodging Sean's charge effortlessly.
"Is that really the best you can do?" Farren bellowed, laughing. He didn't laugh long though.
The bite wasn't deep, but it hurt."You! You killed her! You killed Bre! And now, you dare to attack ME?!After what you did?!"
Sean was angry. He almost never yelled. But by the look in his eyes, it wouldn't be wise to stop him now. He was going to kill Flagen...no matter the cost.
Farren wasn't stupid. He saw what was about to happen. "Don't worry,we'll meet again,brother!" he called back as he flew away.
Sean was about to fly after him, but Libby,who had spread her wings as well, smacked him over the head with her wooden club she carried,just in case.
* * * * * * * *
The wall of red eyes and teeth consumed her body. A sharp pain bloomed in the back of his skull... total darkness.
Voices.....a massive headache...confusion....
* * * * * * * *
Sean awoke to find everyone staring at him." How long?" He asked, not even bothering to try to sound polite.
"3 days." Libby said. "When is this going to end?!" she wailed. Sean grimaced. Screaming didn't help him. And he wasn't in the best of moods,anyway. "Shut it! I'm trying to think!" He snarled.
Libby was startled into silence. She had never seen her brother like this.
Sean thought about things for a moment. Then, with a grim and determined look, he said,"Its more than likely that our problems are one and the same,Charlie. So,are you in? If not, then leave."
Charlie agreed, and Sean turned his attention to Libby." Summon the others. I want them here as soon as possible. Tell them to fly. Now." He added. Libby ran out. "Dante, you're with me. The rest of you, go and get the other vehicles we'll need. I have a feeling that we're about to have either a shoot out at the O.K. Corral, or the alamo all over again. Until then, we're moving to a place on the mainland. Complete with a parking garage and everything.
"Now wait just a minute here. I want an explanation as to what the heck just happened 2 days ago! What's going on here?" Charlie stepped forward.
Sean narrowed his eyes, then sighed. "I suppose you deserve one. Where to begin? Well,first of all, yes, I am an unnatural creature. I am the Angel of Death for dogs, normaly, although it didn't start that way....."
Sidenote
I will not be writing Seans story right now, but I will later.
