sending his demon spirits to kidnap young girls that fit the description of Claudia.” Katherine looked at me blankly.
Katherine’s words had just confirmed my hunch of why Claudia was missing. My heart sank thinking about her, how scared she must have been, and with no guardian angel to protect her.
“ Claudia needs to be protected at all times,” Michael stated, his eyes pleading with his request.
“ We have been ever since we found out. I’ve assigned Austin to be her guardian angel,” Katherine replied.
“ She doesn’t need one, she already has me.”
Katherine looked harshly at Michael. She didn’t like his response “Have you not heard a word I said? You are from Crossroads and you are out of jurisdiction. I run Earth as I see fit. I’ve already assigned Austin and that is final. It was her grandmother’s wish.”
I blinked in surprise. I didn’t make the connection until now. Gamma was an Earth angel; of course she would know Gamma.
“ Lucy Reed and I were good friends. She begged me not to tell anyone about Claudia and her secret. She asked me to watch over her if something were to happen to her. May she rest in peace. I’m sorry we couldn’t help her. She kept everything to herself. I’ve fulfilled her request and assigned Austin.”
“ But…” Michael continued.
Katherine interrupted. “I’ve heard many things about you Michael, good and bad; what you did in the past and what you have done presently. I could use your help, but we need to do things my way, not your way. Understand me clearly, disobedience from you, and you will no longer be welcomed on Earth. You’ve already broken one of your Divine Commandments; You’ve fallen for her. I can feel it in your heart and I can feel it from her.” When Katherine set her eyes on me, I immediately gazed down, unable to look her in the eyes.
Katherine continued. “I have the gift of emotions. I can feel your sorrow, pain, hatred, guilt, love and every emotion you can think of. I’m assuming Philip doesn’t know about this. I’m not sure what he would do, but I know that he cares for you deeply. He may even pretend he doesn’t know. Yes, it is forbidden and we ingrain it in your minds that it is so, but falling in love is the least of our concerns. We have more important things to worry about. We were not created to judge. That will happen when Judgment Day comes. But that doesn’t mean we approve of angels falling in love just because we do not reprimand them. You’ll be reprimanding yourself when you are left with a broken heart.
“ If I had it my way, angels and humans would cohesively live together, but Philip and a few others do not agree. At the end, we are left behind with a broken heart and the humans move on to their Heaven. This is a long story and I don’t need to bore you with this. Let’s talk about the plan. We need to draw Aliah out of hiding. He sends his demon spirits to do his dirty work because he can’t leave his dimension. He is stuck somewhere, what we call Between. Since he is aware of Michelle and Gracie’s betrayal, they cannot locate him. We need to use Claudia as bait.”
“ No!” Michael rebutted. “That’s not a good plan. I won’t allow it.”
“ Michael, I will remind you again. You follow my orders, you will be able to protect her too, or else, you’ll be sent back and will not be welcomed. You decide.”
“ There has to be another way.”
“ I’ve weighed the odds, and I see no other way. We’ll have to capture one of the demon spirits and have him take us to Aliah’s hide out. He’s already killed several Claudia Emersons, thinking they may be the one.”
Michael looked distressed. I could tell he didn’t agree, but he had no other choice. “Could I stay with her at all times?”
“ Michael, you know that I cannot grant that. I can only allow you to stay as long as you can. That was agreed upon with the Royal Council; I cannot undo what has been done. Since you cannot
