“You swear on your life, Becca?”
“Devin, I swear on my incredible power and on my unsettling life that I will not tell a single soul the words that pass your lips.”
“Okay. Well, remember when Teague took me down to Hell?”
“Yeah. I wasn't there but I remember.”
“Well...Fang wanted to know what had happened.”
“Okay?”
“Becca, I couldn't remember anything. All I remember is getting down there and then being saved. That's it.”
“So what did you tell him?”
“I had to lie. I told him Teague had tried to posses me.”
“Woah. That can only be done one way be his level of demon.”
“I know. But what was I going to say? I couldn't tell him I didn't know! He would have been worried.”
“You should tell him the truth, Dev.”
“Now?”
“When we figure out what's going on.”
“Okay. When we know, I'll tell him the truth.”
“Good.”
“I feel bad for lying to him, Becca. But...I felt like I had to protect him.”
“From what Dev?”
“Myself. I don't know why but I felt this voice inside me. Like a warning.”
“I've felt that way before. I understand. I am just very curious though Dev.”
“On what?”
“You.”
“Me?”
“Yeah. I mean, I can see how Erin and I would be targeted, just not you. Why you? It makes no sense.”
“I am an angel, Becca. A very powerful one.”
“Exactly! Why mess with an angel? No one can really see you unless you let them. So-”
“So do I know something you don't? Is that correct?”
“Yeah. What do you know?”
The two stared at each other. Devin kept Becca's gaze until she felt a buzz begin in her head. She stood, grabbing the cups.
“You won't find any information in my head Becca.”
“What do you know?”
Becca followed her as Devin moved towards the kitchen.
“Things you shouldn't. And you best keep out of my buisness!”
“I'll find out sooner or later Devin. You know I will! I always do!”
“Not this time Becca. You will never find out as long as I can keep it.”
