“She is in her bedroom with some of my guards blocking the door—”
“Damn you. I’m saying goodbye to her and then leaving this place.” Fatou stormed off.
I trailed after her.
Several minutes later, Fatou talked with her mother. Although the door was wide open, I could barely catch their hushed conversation.
Outside in the hallway, Jade studied me. Curiosity filled those pretty eyes. She smelled like warm vanilla, cinnamon, and sweet sugary milk. But. . .I could also sense the powerful darkness spinning within her.
How much control does she have of her power? I may need to train her when she gets older.
Jade gave me a shy smile. “How. . .”
I leaned my head to the side. “Yes?”
“How did you know that angel?”
“I’m a pretty interesting demon.”
She giggled.
“Seriously.”
“What was his name?”
“Raphael. He’s one of the seven angels who stand and serve before the Glory of the Lord.” I touched my chest. “But, he’s become a cool friend.”
“Wow.”
“Wow is right.”
Jade looked back at the opened door and gazed at her mother and grandmother. “And. . .you are you my mommy’s friend too?”
“I am.”
She looked back at me. “You helped her save me from the bad man?”
“I did.”
I lowered to one knee and extended my hand. “My name is Azar. Nice to meet you.”
She placed her tiny fingers around mine and shook it. “I am Jade.”
“I know. Your mommy has told me so much about you.”
Her face brightened.
I tilted my head to the side. “Jade, what type of animals do you like?”
With no hesitation, she grinned. “Butterflies.”
“What color?”
“Purple.”
“Aww. That’s easy.” I called the illusion to me.
Beautiful shimmering butterflies fluttered their purple wings around her. Lavender filled the air.
