Angelica was walking alone,deep in thought. She was confused. First her father told her the plan was to protect human bonds but then he allowed her to have the bond of an angel and a demon(which he shouldn't even approve from the start),then she was poisoned by an enemy she didn't know she had but God knew and He didn't tell his daughter. But then He sent her quickly back here as if telling her to prepare for battle. Generally speaking,she didn't know what to do.

She was lost so deeply in thought she didn't see the man in front of her before she fell on him

"Watch where you are going lady" the man turned and then Angelica couldn't believe her luck. Anthony. Again.

"You again? What,is this some sort of twisted bayback for running into you with my car and now you thought it would be funny to do the same with your legs?"

She didn't have the energy to deal with me right now.

"Sorry. No,the fault is mine. Thinking while walking is not an excuse to bump into people"

"Hey,are you okay?"

"Why do you ask?"

"When we met the other day you were so confident it was annoying. Now you seem a little lost. Didn't you find what you were looking for?"

"That's the problem. I found it. Why do you care anyway?"

"I don't know frankly. But my friend is out of town for a few days. He found an old collector in New York that owns a pretty rare book and he went there to buy it . He said that he will stay for a few days so why don't you come over to my house for a drink?"

"Alcohol?"

"No,orange juice. Of course alcohol. What? You were born yesterday?"

Why is he so keen to help me? Well,i suppose me being what i am we were bound to have some sort of connection

"Sure why not?"

"Great. My car is parked right around the corner. We will be in my home there in no time"

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Provided you don't leave a trail of bodies behind you with your reckless driving"

"I will pretend I didn't hear that. You know, you are an interesting person. Sometimes you remind me of my friend,sometimes you remind me of myself"

A few minutes later

"I admire you girl. You drank 3 bottles of red wine and even after that you manage to avert my questions"

"Because if you knew,three would be the outcomes "kill,love or lock""

"Eh?"

"Either you would kill me,either we would become very good friends or last and most likely scenario you would lock me in an asylum. Oh no i said too much"

"Finally. Loosen up a little. It's not like everyone is ought to get you. Let's sum up. Your father gave you a job but you did something different from what you were asked to do but your father congratulated you and told you that was the job all along and then he told you that you have opponents that want your job ruined and now you don't know what your job is and who are your opponents. Right?"

"Yeah,that's it. Pretty much"

"Your father must be God. Only He does stuff like that"

Angelica nearly choked on her wine

"You should know. As a demon you were an angel so you were pretty close to God"

"How do you...?"

"You said it yourself ten minutes ago."

"All right. Time from some serious conversation. Who are you?"

"You asked that question 23 times already. And i answered it"

"With lies"

"Careful. I don't take lightly being questioned"

"And i don't like being fooled. Even if i said i am a demon a normal person wouldn't pay attention to a drunk up's words. Believe me I know. I had a mental breakdown in a bar once and I must have mentioned it around ten times. No-one even flinched. And you stand here calmly like i told you i am 35 instead of 34. Start talking. Now. What are you angel,demon or human?"

Damn it. Better be as honest as i can at this point. I don't want to anger a demon. Even this one.

"Neither. I am what you would call 'God's latest creation"

"I thought that was humans"

"Humans need some...help, so to speak. I can not tell you much more right now. All i can tell you is...."

Suddenly a dark aura flooded the room. Even anthony got scared

"What is that aura"

"Quickly. We must run away from here"

"How did they find me?"

"Who are they?"

"My enemies"

"I thought you said you didn't know them"

"I don't but my instincts know them and they are rarely wrong. It's them. And i don't want to face them unprepared"

"Why should i run with you? You can escape by yourself"

"Oh God? What should i do? If they find him here it will be like leaving behind a personal file of mine behind. Think,think"

"Okay let's make a deal. If you follow me now I promise to tell you everything you want to know. All of it. What i am,what is my job,what God is planning,as far as i know,. Deal? And make up your mind quickly"

That was a lie but she was running out of options right now

"A very tempting offer. And that comes from a demon. Deal. But where do we go?"

"Since things have come to this at least lets avoid telling the same thing twice"

"New York. Let's go see your friend. I'm sure he will be equally interested with what i have to say"

"Ok. Lets go. And don't fall behind. I will not save you if they catch you"

"Believe me,if they catch me,your quality of life will be very different after that"
