Chapter Six
     
     
    A lick of flame shot toward Seth’s stomach, creating a shimmery wave of orange and blue in the artificial light put out from the nearby streetlamps. Seth waited until the last possible moment, then flapped his wings upward, quickly and efficiently dodging the fiery spray. Thanks to Lily, he felt stronger now than he had in quite some time. Though things hadn’t gone down the way he’d hoped that night on the bridge, at least he had one less thing now to worry about.
    He faced his attacker and cocked a brow. “Speed will get you nowhere. Not with our kind. Your only ally is stealth. If you can strike your enemy before he guesses what’s coming, you can defeat him.”
      His attacker, a scrawny tattooed youth with a red and blue Mohawk, shrugged and lowered the flamethrower in his grasp.
    The schoolyard that he, Jason, Ruby, and Lily had appropriated for their midnight training session was packed with human locals who’d decided to join them in the uprising. This section of the Bronx, it seemed, had no shortage of bravery when it came to fighting the angels. With Lily back to ignoring him again, the humans’ willingness to fight back made this task seem more bearable.
    “So how do those torches of yours feel compared to these babies?” the youth asked, shaking the flamethrower he held.
    “Good question.”
    Seth strode to the stack of unlit torches they’d brought with them and grabbed one, turning and throwing it toward the youth. He fumbled and almost slipped on a patch of ice, but still managed to catch it.
    The kid had good instincts. If he was smart and wily, he might just survive a fight against the white-wings.
    The youth hefted the torch, testing its weight in his grip.
    “As you can see, the weight is about the same,” Seth said, addressing the small group of humans gathered around, watching them. “However, unlike the fire from your flamethrowers, the heat put out by the torches is intense enough to almost instantly incinerate a white-wing.”
    Which was why they weren’t using them for practice.
    “As I mentioned before, a flamethrower will do no good against a white-wing.” He turned to rake each human with his gaze, making sure they were listening. “The torch is the only weapon that can fell them.”
    “Cool,” the youth said. “Can I try again?”
    Seth grinned. The kid was growing on him, Mohawk and all. “Bring it.”
    The next few hours passed quickly as he and the others taught the humans how best to sneak up on an angel and the exact spots they should aim for with their weapons. After that, they covered the basics of hand-to-hand combat, but he didn’t kid them. If it came down to that between a human and an angel, the human was as good as dead.
    He was just wrapping up with a middle-aged man, who was surprisingly light on his feet despite the twenty extra pounds he carried on his gut, when a cute petite female with blond hair cut into a face framing style approached.
    She gave him a smile that somehow resembled an animal on the hunt. “My turn, big guy.”
    A glimmer of discomfort ran through him at the unabashed hunger in her gaze and the lust drifting off her, but he pushed it aside and tried to focus on the task of getting her battle ready.
    Unfortunately, that proved more difficult than he’d thought. The woman, who promptly introduced herself as Goldie, had no qualms about telling him exactly what was on her mind.
    “I didn’t realize you angels would be so sexy,” she announced as she tried a sneak jab to his side.
    He caught her fist in his and whirled her around so her back thumped his chest. “Their peripheral vision eclipses yours,” he said, ignoring her words. “Your best bet is to approach from behind.”
    Seth released her, but she didn’t move. If anything, she might have pressed herself further into him.
    “So, are you married or
