Chapter Fifteen

Taking a right at the next light, I started driving us near the highway, away from the sound of the sirens.

“Remember when Stacey Masters bullied me in third grade? Why didn’t you jump in then?” I asked Bernie. I couldn’t get over this guardian angel thing.

He looked down at his clasped hands, a slight frown on his face. “I do remember that. That was very sad, but I’m only permitted to help you with this one life event. Once you get over that border, my entire existence in this lifetime will be complete.”

What? What was going to happen at the border that was so important my guardian angel’s entire existence depended on it?

I was about to ask when Elodie spoke. “Do I have a guardian angel too?”

I could see from her face that she was totally tripped out by Bernie’s presence.

Bernie nodded. “Of course. Everyone does. Many of them.”

We drove out of town in silence. It was too much to process for me, let alone Elodie, and the thought of being home in a matter of minutes was too much excitement for me to bear.

Bernie suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm. “Don’t go to the border. Get off at the next exit. Lucifer is here and looking for you.”

Shit.

“Mommy’s boss, Lucifer?” the boy asked from the back seat.

Did he know her boss was the Devil? Doubtful. He probably thought Lucifer was some normal name.

“Yes. Mommy’s bad man boss is looking for us, but once we cross over to Angel City, we’ll be safe. Right?” Elodie asked me.

“Right,” I answered without hesitation. Lie number two.

No point in freaking her out, telling her that he could basically spy on us anytime, and make us get in car accidents and stuff.

“I’ve blocked your energetic signatures from his prying eyes,” Bernie assured us.

This man has some serious power.

“Is Maximus a real dog?” I asked him as we exited the freeway and drove along a frontage road.

Bernie chuckled. “Of course.”

“Now what?” I’d reached the end of the frontage road, so we were close to the border. The high wall stood tall in the distance.

“Turn right,” Bernie instructed.

I drove along a small side road for another minute, when Bernie asked me to stop. The distinct sound of helicopter blades was whirling in the distance. Were they looking for us?

“Let’s get out here,” Bernie urged.

While Elodie and her son climbed out, Bernie turned to me.

“Brielle, after today I won’t see you again—well, not in this form. I’ll always be with you, but I won’t be permitted to converse with you like this.”

For some reason, that made my heart pinch. “Oh.”

He reached out a glowing hand and placed it on my chest, right over Lucifer’s devil mark. “I just want you to know that I heard every prayer, felt every ounce of pain and desperation, and I’m so incredibly proud of the woman you’ve become.”

A tingling trickled across my chest and then down my arms, tears pricking my eyes as I felt this incredible unconditional love wash over me.
