Raven's Hollow
“A woman’s voice reached him. Possibly Sadie’s, possibly not. She was far away but definitely calling his name. Did that mean he was alive? Because if not, he’d gone someplace dark, wet and incredibly uncomfortable.
“Eli, damn it, open the door!”
Someplace where the angels—at worst, he hoped, angels—shouted orders, and every thought was coated in a bloodred haze.
The haze pulsed for several seconds before subsiding to a repetitive and annoying thud.
He cracked his eyes open to a ...different kind of darkness. This one was loud and it moved. Both sound and motion jabbed at him like dull knives. He was tempted to sink back under until it stopped.
“Wake up, Eli, and open the door.”
