Chapter Eight

John did not wish to leave Kale’s bedside, but if taking the risk of capture by the royal guards and coming back to the very edge of Purgatory would somehow heal his injured love, he would do so.

He had not been caught, but he had still been careful. He knew how to get by undetected, how to disguise himself, so that even the angels trained to detect trickery looked past him when John found himself traveling by a small patrol.

Now he was here, on the very edge of this desolate place, and he wished his second was with him.

“He can be with you, you know.”

John scowled. He’d been waiting here too long, it seemed, and he’d allowed his mind to wander for Annabel to so easily read his thoughts.

He half turned to the sound of her voice. She hovered in midair, some ten feet away from him. Her knees were up and legs were crossed, and one hand held her cheek as she studied him, as though she were reclining on a sofa instead of simply floating there.

“Annabel, you look terrible,” John said, though he hadn’t done so to cut her with his words, even though that was a nice addition.

Her normally glossy blonde hair was in complete disarray, with strands poking out all over the place. There were burns there as well, which made it uneven and black in some places, as well as more burns on her hands and even on her cheek. Her normally perfectly red, manicured nails were chipped, and she wore no makeup today.

She wore a skintight, red leotard with no stockings, and her red, spiked high heels were still in place. Her long, ropelike tail with the spike at the end whipped around behind her, as though she were an affronted cat.

“Don’t take it too badly,” he said. “Your clothes are still in decent shape.” The clothing she wore, despite how odd it always was, seemed to be the only thing on her that was not damaged. She perhaps might not have had the energy to spare in healing herself and producing more color for her lips and eyes, but she would certainly have put together enough power for clean clothing.

“Yes, well, two losses on my side. My superiors are not happy.”

“I find it interesting that you would ever admit to even having superiors,” John said, and then he frowned as he recalled why he was here. “You sent me a message. What did you do to Kale? Can it be reversed?”

She smiled at him, the ugliness of her aura and general disarray fading into nothingness as she spotted his eagerness for help.

Good Lord, he should not have let his feelings get the better of him. It was the very reason why he wished to avoid Kale after they’d shared that kiss. It gave the demons far too much power when they learned there was something that he could not bear to lose.

“Let me come just a little closer, and I’ll tell you what I want.
