Chapter Twenty

Serenity

When Ryan told me he wanted to talk to me and that what he had to say would impact me in ways I might not understand, I didn’t know what to make of it. First I thought he was here because he wanted to talk about the kiss. Now that I’ve heard everything he has to say, I can safely say the kiss we shared was the least of his concerns and now of mine.

I want to believe he’s lying to me. That this farfetched story he told me is just that. A story. A lovely little nightmare he thought up on the fly because in actuality he didn't much like me and this is his way of dealing with it. Simply ignoring me would have been enough, but hell maybe he’s inventive that way. The thing is, I looked in his eyes as he told me how conflicted he is and I know he’s not lying. The truth is there. He wears it clear as the daylight.

He'd been wearing it when he kissed me. I knew yesterday that the expression he wore after the kiss meant something and now that I know what it is, I find myself believing in it. Wanting to know more about what’s in store for me and inevitably for Ryan.

Silence has filled the room since I mentioned not having to go through this alone. I guess I should’ve expected that considering he just admitted to being a demon sent here to control me into becoming Lucifer's wife. He’s conflicted though, and if he really is willing to go against the only way of life he’s ever known, the least I can do is help to make sure he didn't have to do it alone.

All of those times my grandmother called my ability a gift came flooding back to me. I begin to wonder if she’d known about me. What I am and what I would mean to the world and if in her own way, she'd been warning me of it. The way Ryan spoke of me, the real me, it makes me think that maybe she had.

“Are you saying what I think you're saying, Serenity?”

“If you think that what I'm saying is I would fight with you, using all of this so called power to help you change the path you’re on and doing the right thing, or at least what we believe to be the right thing, then yes.”

“I can't ask you to do that.”

“Well it's a good thing you're not asking, huh?”

“Why? Given what I am and what my purpose so far has been, how can you offer to fight beside me knowing that at any moment I can revert back on course?”

I hadn't really thought about it, him turning his back on me. Obviously it was a possibility, but one I found myself not as concerned about as I should be. For some reason I just knew it wouldn't happen.

“Honestly, I'm not sure. I mean, despite the fact that everything you've told me sounds bat shit crazy, I believe you.
