Chapter 306

• "Alright, unmarked, you get to live your first day in Hell. You're coming with me." He scooped her up like she weighed nothing, and threw her over his shoulder so her stomach rested flat against the sheet of metal bent around it. It hurt.
• She didn't make a sound. She didn't move. All she could do was stare out toward the river, the shore covered in thousands and thousands of bones, and the humans being slaughtered like cattle. Some of the demons laughed, clearly enjoying themselves. Some didn't, frowning as they jumped humans and killed them. All of them made an effort to get a kill, and get a heart to eat.
• She wanted to cry, but her body refused. Shock? She didn't know what shock felt like. It was a miracle she was capable of thinking at all. Every part of her wanted to close her eyes and pretend none of this was happening. Pretend she was back up at the gates of Heaven, surrounded by friendly angels, welcoming her into paradise.
