"We're looking for. . ." we turned the next corner and I saw another light coming from the direction we were going. "Not that probably." I whispered. I looked around for a place to hide but there was only forward and back, plus with who ever was coming at us with a light, we couldn't hide in a corner. My memory flashed to my new Angelic training and I grabbed hold of Rosaline, tucked into a part of the wall as best as possible, turned off my light and had us wait.
As they finally got closer I could hear breathing, it was heavy and I could almost feel it on me already. When they were only the next corner away I mumbled my incantation and my wings opened themselves to cover us. No unholy thing could see us and I could cover almost an infinite amount.
The monsters, whatever they were, passed as soon as they came and I lifted my wings to let us go further. "Come on, there's a weapons cache we'll need to help us, they wouldn't have found it that fast."
