Elizabeth hoped Theo would think about all the girl had said and know that she and their daughter were doing just fine. Still, she was now less certain than ever if what she had done was right. Had it only caused more pain? Reopened old wounds?

As for the girl’s parents, the journey had come to a destructive end. They stopped at a tiny roadside motel late into the night to get some rest, and spoke to each other in whispers so as not to wake the young girl they now feared.

“I thought maybe Abuela was speaking through Floramaria, or perhaps God. I was scared but also proud that maybe my daughter was a prophet, but no. She has only caused pain. And if the Lord has not led her down this path, given her this information, then who else could it be but Satan himself?”

“My daughter is not evil.”

“Nor is my God.”

“Perhaps she will grow out of this.”

“And if she doesn’t?”

Neither seemed to know what to say. The room fell quiet for a few moments as the parents settled into sleep. Elizabeth alone remained alert and on watch. That is, until four familiar angels entered through the garishly painted walls to join her.

“We told you this was a bad idea,” spat Alexis, the lead angel of their household. “What did you expect to happen?”

“Is true. Why you no listen?” Vlad asked in his heavy accent.

“I know it’s hard to let go, but you’ve just gotta for her sake.” Julio pointed to Floramaria sleeping soundly on the motel sofa. “For all of their sakes.”

“She’s not going to recover from this,” Julio said with a sigh. “I can tell. It’s one thing to hurt your own charge, but do you realize what you’ve done to each of ours? Bad things are coming.”

“Yeah, and it’s all your fault,” Alexis huffed. “So, so selfish.”
