“I Got you baby.” Kit held Tina tight, cradling her in her arms as she rocked them back and forth. Tina’s grip on Kit’s arms was a tell-tale sign that she was scared senseless. She hadn’t said a word since she’d opened her eyes and everything around her was shattered and broken. Except Kit. She was right there with open arms holding her trying to placate some of the discomfort and anger from her dreams. As the images replayed themselves over in her mind like flashes of pain she cringed and squeezed Kit tighter. “It’s ok, I’m right here.” Kit’s warm and motherly hand rubbed broad and soothing circles across Tina’s back.

Tina looked up to Kit and asked, “Was…was that her?” Kit gave a small nod and saw the way Tina’s eyes steeled on the door in front of her with absolutely no emotion. Kit was preparing herself for something, anything, any indication as to how Tina was taking the information, but nothing came. Tina’s grip lessened and she was breathing heavier, with emotionless tears spilling freely down her face.

With a staggering voice and haggard breath she asked, “What is she?”

“She’s demonic.” Kit said hoping that would satisfy Tina’s need for answers.

“I can see that Kit, but she’s something more. What is she?” she asked again through gritted teeth trying to stop her tears.

With Tina’s legs resting on hers she looked at the fierce anger in Tina’s eyes and saw so much hostility that it almost frightened her. “Like so many Angels before him, he loved his God with a love and loyalty that could not be shaken. Once he fell from grace he took several Angels along with him as brides. Those who defy him once, must prove their love and devotion to only him. She chose to kill an Angel and fight for his return to The Heavens. She, is Angela and her husband is Satan. They killed your mother to return him to glory.”

“So… this demon is a fallen Angel who killed my mother to return Satan back to heaven?”

“She is more than a fallen Angel, she is his first wife. And she was once my sister. Our sister. When she killed your mother, she broke her ties to our bloodline and sealed her destiny to him.”
