“Are you serious?” Clark shouted. “Are you freaking serious?”

“How was I supposed to know?” Maya shouted back.

Clark, Maya, Zarachiel, and Michaela all stood around the dining room table. Later that evening, Clark had returned to the cabin to find Maya and Michaela in a screaming match. Michaela had her sword out, and Maya held a gigantic rock in her hand. Apparently—and this was the main cause of the argument—Maya had lobbed a particularly large rock at Michaela when the angel had tried to pursue Lucifer. Her aim had been good, her throw strong. Apparently—and this was another cause for shock—Maya had been on her convent’s softball team since middle school.

“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe not trusting strangers who could be the devil!”

“He’s not the devil!”

Clark reached across the table and slapped his palm to Maya’s forehead, feeling for a temperature. “Dude, what Kool-Aid have you been drinking?”

“Get off me,” Maya said, swatting his hand away.

“This is ridiculous,” Michaela said for the thousandth time. “Do you know how close I was to killing him before this little brat hit me with a rock?”

“You shouldn’t have tried to go after him!” Maya shouted.

“Of course I should have. He needs to die!”

“Why?” Maya spit, her anger causing little dots of pink to rise high on her cheeks. Her lightly colored eyes flared with fury.

Michaela turned to Clark. “Is she serious?”

“Look,” Maya said. “If he’s so bad, then why didn’t he kill me the two chances he’s had? Likely, he’s had more. Yet I’m here.”

“He’s using you! Obviously, he’s already brainwashed you.” Michaela turned to Clark. “She was letting him paw her like she was a dog in heat! He was halfway down her throat when I interrupted!”

“Just shut up!” Maya shouted. Her hand closed around a can of beans that had been left out this morning.

Michaela growled. “Don’t you dare throw that at me!”

Zarachiel reached over and eased the can away from Maya. She didn’t notice. “He isn’t bad now! I know it! If I could just talk to him—” she said to Clark.

“He’s Lucifer,” Michaela interrupted. “All he is is bad.”

“What are you saying? That he’s inherently evil because of a name? A title? What is it then? What makes him the definition of evil?”

“Look at all he’s done! He’s—”

“Look at all you’ve done!” Maya shouted back. “Look at how many Nephilim you’ve killed. Look at this earth after your stupid war. Look at all the death and destruction around us caused by holy angels. And you tell me that he’s the evil one? There’s no such thing as pure evil.”

“Wait,” Clark said. He remembered something. “Is this because you’re an atheist?”

Michaela’s brows rose. Zarachiel went on and took a seat at the dining room table, keeping the can of beans tightly in his grip.

“Maybe,” Maya shrugged. “I believe no one can be perfectly good. And I believe no one can be perfectly evil. There’s no such thing as a devil. He’s just an angel.”

“A bad, fallen angel who has tried to ruin Heaven for nearly an eternity,” Michaela said.
