Chapter Ten

This was going to end in disaster, John was certain of it, but what choice did they have? He was apparently one of the fabled generals, on the same page as Dante, Taylor, and Derek. The only difference was that he did not follow the same rules they did. The demons could come after him for years and years, slowly working down his resolve, driving him mad, and waiting for the opportunity when his patience and morals were stretched so thin that he might attack a house of orphans and kill everyone inside before his senses returned to him, and by then it would be too late.

“I don’t want her help any more than you do,” Kale assured him, taking his hand and squeezing it tightly. John found he liked the comforting act and was always more than willing to let Kale do it. “We’ll protect her for as long as we need to, and when this is over, I’ll speak with the council. If they say no to offering her immunity, then it’ll hardly be our fault. We’ll have genuinely tried to keep our bargain.”

Kale would be sincere about it, too. His deal with a demon would not allow him to be anything but when it came time for him to speak with the council on Annabel’s behalf. There would be no shirking of his duties in this.

John allowed himself to tighten his fist around Kale’s hand, but he did not look at the other man as they strolled casually through the park that was only a few minutes’ walk from Dante’s house. They were attempting to lure some of the stronger demons out, but that was not his cause for worry.

“And what will you do when the council will not allow you to come back to Earth?” He heard the sound Kale made deep in his throat. Kale also refused to look at him. They were both pretending that this was not a serious conversation and that the things they both feared were simply part of an uncomfortable conversation.

“I don’t know,” Kale said, being honest with his chances at acting out this forbidden romance of theirs for the first time since it had started.

John was actually a little proud of him.

“Just remember that they want something from you. Likely they will overlook this…this sudden lack of common sense once you have fulfilled your mission and returned to them.”

“Great,” Kale said, and then he looked up at John for the first time since they had started walking. Twenty minutes, and so far there had been no attack from the little pestering demons or anything more powerful.

“You know I would stay if I could, right? I’ll do everything I can do to get back down here to you. I won’t give up until they let me come back.”

This had been another of those things they had discussed. Kale would have to go back, eventually. The entire purpose of making himself John’s guardian was to defend him and defeat the forces that wished to transform him into one of their own.
