Cade's future, Abigail's ghostly voice replied in her mind.

"Evil," Val whispered. "Suffering."

I didn't know what it was, but I knew it waited for him. And I knew it would be worse

than everything else he'd endured.

Suddenly a bright gold light spilled over Abigail's grave, but Cade didn't look up. It was as though he didn't see it. Yet Val sensed… something coming from that light. An emotion—a patience, a kindness so infinite it brought tears to her eyes.

The presence spoke to Abigail, its voice a gentle thunder imbued with a texture she could feel on her skin, a taste that filled her mouth, exquisite and alien and indescribable. But though she could feel the sound reverberating in her chest, she couldn't understand the words.

Abigail could. I can't just go! the ghost's voice protested. I can't leave him like this! Can't

I help him?

The being replied in a long, rolling rumble. It was frustrating, Val thought, like hearing half of a phone conversation. Yet somehow she wasn't sure she wanted to hear what the golden presence said.

But I could help him?

Now the rumble sounded like affirmation and warning, all at once.

I don't care. I'll do whatever I have to. I can't let it have him.

WRENCH!!

Val sat on Cade's bed, her head swimming as she stared at the ghost floating before the stained glass window. She swallowed. "Was that… God?"

Abigail shrugged. I don't really know, but I don't think so. I believe it was an angel.

"You gave up your chance to go with it so you could stay with him?"

The ghost smiled. I couldn't do anything else. Could you, after seeing what waited for

him?

"No." Val frowned, reassessing her mental image of Abigail. She'd thought the ghost a cold little bitch, but now she realized how much love and loyalty lay beneath that ruthless willingness to do anything for her brother. "How did he react to having you suddenly appear?"

Oh, he didn't know I was there until Ridgemont Changed him. As a mortal, he didn't

have your power. Another eighteen years would pass before he saw me.

"You followed him for eighteen years without ever talking to him at all?"

Valerie, I'm dead. It's not as if I had anything better to do.

"Good point. What happened then?" Suddenly she wanted to know more, craved to know more.

As I said, he wandered. Images flashed through her mind: Cade, slumped in the saddle of a tired horse, a five-o'-clock shadow darkening his jaw as he rode beside a herd of weary cattle.

Cade, shirtless in the sun, swinging a pick. Cade driving a mule team, his eyes patient and bored.

SHIFT. Looking like the cowboy hero of Valerie's dreams, he rode hard on a galloping horse, his eyes narrow and hot with determination. A badge glinted on his broad chest. Until he joined

the Rangers. It gave him a sense of purpose again, the feeling he was doing something to

help those who needed it.

SHIFT. Another man, a badge pinned to his chest, standing at Cade's side as the two fired their guns at three men running from a bank.
