Chapter Seventeen:
"But, Father!"
No, Angela. The task is far too dangerous for a Guardian Angel.
She looked up at him with confusion. "I believe that is the strangest thing You have ever said to me," she commented, receiving a piercing look from Him. "I am a Guardian Angel. Is it not my place and duty to Guard and Protect the people from the Evils of the World?"
Yes, but—She interrupted Him. "Is Dracula not considered one of the Evils of the World?" she asked. "You ordered Gabriel to destroy him once. Surely, I can make it final this time?"
Angela, do not interrupt me again.
"Sorry."
Listen to me. You may go. You may fight him. But you may not kill him. I shall send Gabriel with you to do that.
"But, Father," she said. "This isn't fair. If I kill him, I would lose my Grace feeling satisfied. If I don't kill him, I would lose my Grace anyway because of who my Guarded is. At least let me kill him unpunished, then lose my Grace to save my Guarded! At least allow me that! Have I not been a faithful Guardian Angel? A faithful servant? This is my only request from you, Father!"
Are you trying to reason with me, Angela?She blushed. "Yes," she answered, quietly.
He laughed. You would use your only request to kill a Demon without losing your Grace? Not a common request from the Angels.
"I am not a common Angel, Father," she said. "Do I have your permission?"
Yes, Angela. You do. Now, go and do good in the world.
