Chapter 12

Chris had lunch with Tyler and Jacob. He was a bit shy at first about speaking to Jacob about his angelic alter-ego, but surprisingly, Tyler was the one to bring it up.

“So how does Janariel feel about Angelica, Jake?” he asked casually. Jacob stopped eating for a moment and appeared to be considering his answer.

“Sad,” he said. “You know he can't hate, not really. He's sad that she betrayed him and the others. But he was ready to take her on if he had to. I'm glad it didn't come to that though.”

Chris spoke up hesitantly. “You're okay talking about this stuff in front of me now?”

“Yeah, of course. You passed the test, Chris,” Tyler said in a friendly tone. “Martin passed the word to all of us that you're one of the family now, so to speak, and if we want to discuss this stuff with you, we can. If you want to, of course.”

Chris sighed audibly. “Thanks, guys. That is such a relief. I really wanted to talk to someone my own age about it, especially you two, since you're part of the whole 'angel' thing.”

Jacob grinned. “Yeah, the 'angel' thing. Good name for it. So, any questions, Chris? Because I think we have a few. But you're the new angel in town,” he said with a grin, “so you get to go first.”

Chris collected his thoughts and finished off his chocolate cream pie at the same time. He spared a quick thought for Chef's amazing cooking.

“Okay. I think my first question for you guys is, do you know who I have basically 'riding' inside me?”

“Nope,” Tyler answered after a quick look at Jacob. “Not a clue. Which frankly is weird because normally these angels know each other on sight, even if the host doesn't realize that they have an angel's soul.” He looked at Chris quizzically. “That's why we didn't tell you anything about it when we met you, Chris. We simply couldn't tell if you had one or not. Which is odd.”

“Yeah, Chris, what's up with that?” Jacob asked. “Janariel is actually confused, which is a bit funny because he's usually so smart about this stuff.”

“I think I know why, guys.” Chris waited a moment, not sure how his friends would react. “You see, I don't have an angel's soul inside me.” Both Tyler and Jacob began to talk at once but Chris waved them down. “Hang on, hang on. I'm not quite sure how to say this, so I'll just say it. I don't have an angel's soul inside me. I have an archangel's soul inside me.” Both of his friends stared at him with wide eyes. “Yeah, that's pretty much how I reacted too.”

“An archangel's soul?” Jacob's voice was hushed. He looked around at the other tables in the dining room but no one seemed to be paying any attention to them. “But, I didn't think that was possible, Chris.”

“That's what the judge said, too. But we saw him and I talked to him and yeah, he's really in there.
