CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Kayla

I was at the gym beating up one of those punching bag when I turned around to find Samael standing there.

“You know, crying doesn’t suit you,” he said.

“I wasn’t crying,” I snapped.

Of course he didn’t believe me. My eyes were probably swollen from crying, to the point where there was no way to hide it.

“What do you want?”

“Ethan wants to talk to you.”

“Oh, okay. Thanks.”

Instead of leaving, Samael walked over to the box where I kept the dagger that was now officially mine, and he grabbed a picture that Clarissa managed to get for me.

“Is this your human family?”

“That is my ONLY family.”

“They seem nice.”

“They are.”

“You should go back to them once this is all over. Get out of this lifestyle before it consumes you.”

I gave him a puzzled look.

“From what I heard you seem to do well going back and forth between this life and your human life.”

He grinned. “Don’t always believe what you hear. Besides, I don’t have a choice. You still do.”

“You don’t have a choice?”

He shrugged. “You know, Ethan seemed really eager to talk to you and he looked quite upset. You should probably get going.”

I knew I wasn’t going to get anything out of him and it was none of my business anyway.

I did need to talk to Ethan, so I just grabbed the box where I kept my dagger and left.

***

Ethan was still in the infirmary and the door to his room was opened.

I walked in and closed the door behind me. I thought he was sleeping until I turned around and saw that he was watching me with a shocked expression.

“What you wanted to tell me earlier, it was about Jennifer, wasn’t it?”

I nodded.

“You’ve seen her.”

“Yes,” he said in a sad tone.

I approached Ethan and sat on the bed next to him.

“I’m so sorry. I wanted to warn you before you actually saw her.”

“You have nothing to apologize for.”

“How did it go? I mean, what happened when you saw her… when she saw you?”

“In an odd way, it was as expected. She acted distant. I got the feeling that she remembered me but didn’t want me to know that.”

“Ethan, Jennifer believes in what she has become. I’m sure she remembers you, but,” I shook my head, “it’s like she was brainwashed in a way.”

Ethan smiled. “She’s what I thought she would become and exactly what they needed. She is pure. More so than any other angel I’ve ever seen. I could see that in her.”

“So you won’t try to talk to her? Try to fight for her?”

Ethan shook his head. “I can’t. The sin of trying to heal her when she was meant for something this great will be nothing compared to the sin of my attempting anything that would cause her to fall.”

That made me frustrated.

“I don’t see how any of you can accept things so easily.”

“No one said it would be easy.”

“I still don’t get it.”

“You do. You just don’t know you understand it yet, but one day you will. You’ve already made sacrifices and accepted them as a part of yourself.
