Chapter 13

Friends and Foes

Only one blade nicked her thigh, and she didn’t even notice it until later when she felt something wet roll down her leg.

She flew above the clouds. The two-hour journey from Boston to Mr. Patterson’s bookstore was nearing its end, and she hoped to get there before Metatron’s cronies. She didn’t want to imagine what they’d do to the old man. She banked slowly and tucked in her wings a little as she began her descent.

What would she do if she came face to face with Metatron? The thought that his ugly face would be twisted in fury made Kara smile. She’d enjoyed seeing him squirm.

The lights of the city gleamed like stars, and her chest tightened as her thoughts moved to David. She remembered the last night they’d been on a date together. The night lights had lit up his eyes, and she remembered how desperately handsome he was and how she wanted to kiss him.

Would she ever get to have a normal life again with David? Would the end of the world come too soon?

Hopefully Metatron wouldn’t take his revenge out on David. But Metatron was such a loose cannon of an archangel, who knew what would happen to David. Hopefully Ariel would knock some sense into the legion’s commander. Hopefully. But even if Metatron pardoned David and the others, they would be ordered to fight the archfiends in a few hours anyway. The thought of the legion fighting alongside the black-eyed demons sent a wave of fury through Kara. The demons weren’t in alliance with anyone but themselves. Ice in her gut spread into her black veins. Somehow she would prove to everyone just how treacherous the demons were.

She had gotten but a taste of the archfiend’s power when she fought the knights. What other creatures had the archfiends created? How much more powerful were they now that two seals had been broken?

Kara knew that Mr. Patterson’s so-called unauthorized mission was still the right thing to do. She had faith in the old man, and she suspected that the archangel Raphael did, too.

She knew what she had to do. She was going after the third knight on her own.

As she flew toward Montreal, she brushed her hand over the places on her neck and shoulder where she had been wounded. She let out a little startled gasp. Her wounds were gone. Her skin had healed.

Kara wasn’t all that surprised. She felt different. Her skin felt different. It was almost as though her M-suit had shredded away like snakeskin. Her new skin didn’t need to replenish itself. She wouldn’t need to go to Horizon to replenish her strength because her wounds healed themselves. And she felt stronger than ever.

She suspected she could never return to Horizon again, not because she had escaped, but because of what she felt she was becoming. The monster that brewed inside her was not angel, but something else, something darker, something much more sinister. She tasted it. She felt it. It was inside her, and it was cold and dark.
