" He lives in a graveyard? " i ask Patch as we trudge around tombstones.

"Yeah. He likes places where death is around."

"Will he read my fortune?"

"Yes."

"Why would he help us?"

" I have something he wants." Patch takes a silver necklace from his pocket. I touch the similar silver necklace on my neck.

"An archangel's necklace?" i guess.

"Dabria's necklace when she was an archangel" Patch nods.

"Cupid wants it ?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"The necklace holds a lot of power."

"Will he do something bad with it?"

"Don't worry Angel. Nothing bad will happen to us." Patch takes my hand.

He puts his hand to his lips.

Angel. He's over there.Patch mind speaks to me. He cocks his head side ways.I glance beside me and see a shadow near a cluster of trees.

Are you going to call him or what? I ask in his mind.

He squeezes my hand nervously and positions himself infront of me.

You're nervous. Will he hurt me? Is he dangerous? I ask patch worriedly.

"Cupid! I have an offer for you!" He calls at the shadow.

The shadow shifts and moves forward.

"I have your sister's necklace." patch continues.

A blond boy steps out from under the trees and runs to us.

"Give it to me" he snaps. His eyes are blood shot as they settle on the necklace in patch's hand. Greedily , he tries to snatch it.

"Wait. You have to give me something in return." Patch holds the necklace back.

"What?" Cupid snaps impatiently.

"Read her future" Patch gestures to me.

Cupid seems to notice me for the first time. His eyes narrow.

"Well, have we got here. You're Nephilim! You would make a nice nephil vassal !" Cupid's voice starts to get even more greedy. At the words nephil vassal , Patch growls. He steps infront of me and shields me with his body.

" Hmm...interesting" Cupid muses as he looks at Patch.

"Do you want the deal or not?" Patch snaps.

"Give me the girl and the necklace and i'll do anything you want"

"No! Only the necklace." Patch growls.

" me the necklace."

Patch drags the sharp edge of the necklace against his palm , leaving a trail of blood.

"I will give Cupid Dabria's necklace after he reads Nora's future. If I break this vow, I will turn back to the dust from which i was created from." Patch vows.

Cupid grabs a branch from nearby and slices his palm.

"I will read Nora's future. If i break this vow, I will turn back to the dust from which i was created from."Cupid vows.

They join hands and Patch turns back to me. He pulls me into his arms and locks his arms around me.

"Read her fortune now" he says to Cupid.

Cupid steps forward and touches my arm. I flinch. Patch nuzzles my ear.

Don't worry.I will keep you safe. He whispers in my mind.

Cupid's eyes turn white and filmy. He shudders and then his eyes turn back to normal.

"There's something weird about her" he says , eyeing me suspiciously.

"What?" i ask weakly.

"Something that doesn't exist in this world. It's blocking me from seeing your future. You're future is black. All black." his eyes shift to my stomach and he continues " I see. You're having the Angel's baby aren't you? " he reaches over and touches my stomach. I jerk back. Patch slaps away Cupid's hand.

"What will happen to her?" Patch growls at Cupid.

Cupid's eyes start turning milky white again.

"Not good. Not good. Not good." he keeps whispering. I start crying.

"I'm scared" i whisper.

"Angel, don't cry. You're going to be ok." Patch tries to sound neutral , but i can hear panic leaking into his voice.

I can't give up. I have to stay with patch. I can't die.

" I...think i know someone who may be able to help" i choke out through my tears.

"Who?"

"Detective basso"
