CHAPTER 13

(Return to Jules’ Point of View)

After Helena phases away, I turn to Anna and anxiously ask, “Can you tell if she went to Desmond’s house?”

Anna sighs disappointedly and shakes her head. “No, she didn’t. She’s in Hell.”

I sigh too because I thought we were really persuasive in our arguments about her seeking Desmond’s help.

“Maybe she just went there to think about what we said to her,” I suggest because I can see how upset Anna is over the possibility that she failed in her mission. “I don’t think Helena rushes into things. She still might decide to go to him later.”

“I hope so,” Anna replies, but she doesn’t try to hide her despondency from me.

I look up at the white marble statue of Cade. I never met him in person, but if this is an accurate depiction of what he looked like while he lived on Earth, I can see why Helena was attracted to him. Anyone who says looks don’t matter in a relationship is lying to him or herself. Sure, it’s what’s on the inside that counts in the long run, but initially, all you see is their outward appearance. There has to be a mutual physical attraction in order for the propagation of the species to occur naturally.

I notice that the marble pedestal the statue is standing on has Cade’s name engraved on it in a gold script. Right underneath his name are three words: warrior, friend, and father. Below those words is the sentence: “He will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him and even luckier to be loved by him.”

“From what Helena said to you, it sounds like you can phase to Heaven,” I say, looking away from the pedestal and back to Anna. “Is that right?”

Anna nods. “Yes, I can. It’s an ability I inherited from one of my ancestors.”

“Why do you think Cade doesn’t want to speak with you?”

“I honestly don’t have any idea,” she replies, looking troubled by his reluctance to see her. “People tend to deal with grief in their own way. I suppose this is his way of coping with what happened.”

“So does God visit you on a regular basis? You sounded like not seeing Him for a few months was uncommon.”

“He only started visiting me when Malcolm and I found one another. I’m not sure why He hasn’t been to see us lately. I’m sure He has His reasons though.”

“I have to say, I wouldn’t mind meeting Him one day. You know, without having to die first, that is.”

Anna grins. “Well, if you stick around with us long enough, I’m sure you will.” She tilts her head as she considers me for a moment. From the look of curiosity on her face, I know she wants to ask me a question.

“Go ahead and ask,” I tell her. “What is it that you want to know about me?”

“Am I that obvious?” she inquires with a smile.

“Just a tad.”

Anna doesn’t ask me what she wants to know right away.
