Dante held her, she who was barely breathing, and looked at all the blood.
There was blood of all kinds, all over the place. Tarry black demon blood from some region of some dark dank hell drenched an unholy altar, covering almost all of the blood of the sacrifice they hadn't been in time to save. Red blood from the humans who had worshiped and sacrificed here was splashed all over the walls, flung by the two demon hunters in their rage. There was even a little of his own blood on his knuckles, the wounds underneath long since healed.
He didn't give a shit about any of that blood. The blood that held his attention was dripping steadily from between his fingers that covered a hole in Cat's chest. In her wild rage she hadn't recognized the candelabra as a threat until the sharp tines had pierced her. So he cradled her in one arm while she slipped into her healing sleep, his other hand holding Ebony at the ready in case anyone should come to see if anything was left alive.
