CRUSADERS; THE INVISIBLE CITY (BOOK EXCERPT).........CONTINUATION.

     The awful noise that filled the air shifted her concern; she could hear flapping sounds, like a million birds approaching. Turning swiftly with impulse to the church building, she saw Father Thomas making a run out of the church with a bow and satchel striped to his back.
"Faster!" she screamed.
She got into the car and watched him approach; he stopped to the ground planted a wooden cross with a dynamite hooped to it and the continued the race for the car. In no time, he was with them.
"Fasten your seat belts" He managed to say as he panted unremittingly.

 Few seconds passed and then the flood of bat-like humans, possessed by demons flew over them, covering the full light of moon. He kicked the car one time but the engine refused to act in response, he tried yet again and failed.
"Lord!" She sighed.
"Psalm 18:3 I will call upon the lord, who is to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies." He cried out with fervor.
The car coughed into life and zoomed out, under its own control, knocking down the wooden  gate in the process. The explosion that followed from the cathedral rocked the car sideways, but it swayed back into course.
"Jesus! what was that?" Sofia asked still shivering from the sight as she held on to Gabriel.
"They could bring down my church, but not without a bill". He replied, stepping on the accelerator.
"Jeez!" He exclaimed. "Nothing is operational, the accelerator is lifeless and the brakes are out!"
 "You mean-
 "I'm not controlling this car, see, my hands are off the steering!' he gestured to prove his claim.
"What is this about?"
 The spectacle that seemed to answer her question was blindingly terrific; four immaculate white horses ran before them, pulling the car along. With a flash of light, an angel appeared on each creature, all dressed in white crystal robes and a golden crown. Sofia went white at the trepidation of heavenly beauty. The priest, too awestricken to notice his mouth was wide open.

The speed of the vehicle increased in unison with the horses, an instant view at the side mirror explained the increase in momentum. Fast approaching behind them was the host of darkness he considered destroyed.
"Jesus! I thought-
Words failed him as he watched the creatures glide through the air, returning his attention back to the angelic beings; (for it sure looked his only chance of survival) his jaws dropped open as he watched the shape shifting, the horses developing wings as the angels disappeared from their backs from their backs, in a crack second the car was floating in the air, under the navigation of bliss. The dark skies changed to a mixture of blue and red as small rock of fire raced towards the car, he turned to the back seat, just remembering Sofia and Gabriel for the first time since his head bunged up. His eyes accommodated a scene he didn't expect. Sofia looked to be somewhat in another realm as she sat rigid with the baby on her lap; Gabriel shimmered like the moon with a golden Halo around his little head. The priest opened his mouth to scream (or say something- anything. For his thinking faculty seemed to have fallen through his ears) but the words that came out was not a familiar language, he spoke for some minutes without understanding what he was speaking but it seemed to calm and comfort his soul. The last word was still on his lips when the four angels reappeared, this time with wings spread and at the back of the flying car, facing the incoming fired stones and the army of darkness. In unison, they all raised the swords in their hands, pointed towards heaven. The rocky bullets approaching paused in motion and returned from whence it came. Greenish blood filled the cloud as a multitude of them burnt down shrieking in pain.

The angels charged towards the survivals like thunder bolts, cuts and slashes flowed incessantly as the angels drove into the crowd, the demons seemed very powerless as they were crushed under the weight of the angelic swords. In a notch time, the entire army had been slaughtered and as fast as the angels appeared , they vanished. It was then he realized the car was no longer moving, they were back on the road with no sign of supernatural being around. Up front was a sign board that read; WELCOME TO TEMPLE .
