CHAPTER SIX

Michael watched as Gabriel exploded through the looking glass with a shower of shards and water that reformed and resettled once she’d cleared it. Collapsing in the shallow pool, warm light beamed up at her. Her knees were bent beneath her, and her hands below the surface held her body up, while her head remained bowed. A few deep breaths were drawn, the sight of her back clear as silver tainted the crystal clear water. The bleeding from her slowed and as she sniffed back tears she froze momentarily. Splashing water up to cleanse her face, she looked sidelong. “Who’s there?”

In her state, she hadn’t felt Michael’s presence straight away. But he’d been there the whole time. Watching. “You almost didn’t survive him this time.” At the edge of the looking glass, Michael shook his head as Gabriel spun around with a splash. Anger speared through him at the close view of her injury. An injury that could have killed her. Since the beginning, he’d always kept a close eye on her, especially when it came to Lucifer. She was too blind to the fallen angel’s charms. “You almost died in vain. And not for the first time.”

Gabriel eased onto her backside, face scrunching at the pain of it. Looking up at Michael as he towered over her, she seemed so small and fragile, so in need of protection. Even if she didn’t want it. She was so close to perfect—and Lucifer would never be worthy of her or God’s love.

“I know you saw,” Gabriel spoke up at him, that poisonous hope still alive in her teary eyes. She regarded his battle clothes with a frown but said nothing about it. “I almost got through to him. He forced me to leave him.”

Though no shadow was cast as Michael stepped onto the concaved glass, his feet disturbed the resettling water. He shook his head, dark locks softly curled and swaying. “You are blind to him, Gabriel. You always have been. You choose to see only what you want to.”

Gabriel grunted as she pushed her healing body upright. Her hands remained tense at her sides, looking like she was restraining from curling her fingers into fists. “I am the messenger of God. I choose to know everything that I have witnessed with my own eyes. I choose to see the whole picture, the bad, and the good. To…” She frowned again, trying to look past Michael’s huge frame. “Who is with you?”

Remiel stepped to the side as Michael glanced over his shoulder. With his hands clasped before him, his eyes were kind but filled with sadness. “When will you accept that Lucifer is not like us?”

When his eyes fell on the silver-stained hole in her robe and the healing flesh beneath, Gabriel crossed her arms over the damage. With nothing but endless light around them, there was nowhere else to look—or escape to. She was too weak to fly up to heaven. And that fact would serve Michael well soon enough.
