Chapter 7.

The minute I was in the sky, an address appeared in my head. I knew that was where I needed to go in order to find my next Target.

I’m on my way, Tabitha, thank you.

Good, this one is being stalked every night. He’s terrified, so be wary.

I nodded, though she couldn’t see me, and flew to the hospital where I’d been directed. I did have one advantage over these Demons. Being able to access my Targets during the day meant that I kept a lot more of them alive.

I felt good having something to do. Kadie was still in my thoughts more than I’d prefer, but at least this renewed my sense of purpose and reminded me why I was here. At the end of the day, I helped Kadie. I got to love her with my heart and my body. I would never forget what she had done for me. And I would try to see her again.

But protecting a Target was a good distraction from the heartbreak, from the way her scent still lingered on my skin and the way her lips touched my cheek.

I flew up to the rooftop of the tall building and there he stood, my Target. Standing on the ledge of a two-hundred foot building. About to jump.

No. Don’t do it. Don’t let them win.

He couldn’t see me, and I kept it that way on purpose.

He must be in a lot of pain to feel so strongly about taking his own life. Many angels so this as proof of a human’s weakness. To a degree, I agreed with this assessment until I spent time among them. Humans did not have easy lives. Those who still looked at each new day with a hopeful smile were strong, those like Kadie. To have Demons add to the despair made it impossible to resist the temptation of death. I no longer believed those who contemplated taking their own lives as weak, though those who overcame such thoughts were strong.

I flew up further into the sky and moved around to the space in front of him so I could catch him if he jumped. Not a preferred choice to interfere with the natural order like that, but with Demons in his head, the man could be forgiven for wanting to end his life.

He still couldn’t see me, which was something I’d wanted to test. I’d thought that maybe my Targets would be able to see me in my invisibility since Kadie had, but once again, this situation simply proved her the exception. It just made the magic she possessed that much more intriguing. What else could she do, exactly?

But I could not think about Kadie now. I needed to focus on my target.

The man, Dr. Terence Winters, stared at the cement below as though it held all the answers to his life’s problems. Which unfortunately, if he was being terrorized by Demons, would only be the start of his torment.

He leaned forward, his grey suit flapping in the breeze.
