A/N – this is a very short chapter but was some needed dialogue from the other side, the faction which has been pulling the strings. Leads back to the last story and the unanswered questions

God's work would be done and the Devil must be stopped!

"We have the pictures our team has gathered,"

"Yes brother, the angel is with the Devil's concubines!" The speaker almost spat the last word,

"This is good, the spells we have cast, continue to keep the angel here on our plain of existence,"

"Should we be the ones keeping one of God's children prisoner like this?"

"We must!"

"I agree, the greater good is all what matters!"

"I agree too,"

"Still, it looks like the angel has been corrupted by Satan's influence."

"She has been misled, lied to, deceived on every front, that is his power and the prince of lies can be very charming."

"Truth sister, we need to separate the angel from the group and make her see that her loyalties are misplaced!"

"Why would an angel have loyalties to the demon king?

"He must have told her all manner of lies, as he does!"

"Again I hear truth but what are our next steps?"

"We need to take her and bring her into the truth of God's words!"

"She probably knows them better than we?" A sarcastic voice cut through,

"That maybe, but she has been turned somehow, somehow the Devil has more influence than her own farther."

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know brother!"

"Can we actually bring her in?"

"Yes,"

"How so?"

"We have found in the ancient texts that a certain combination of herbs will render an angel powerless and then we can easily bring her into the fold."

"This sounds wrong to me, attacking an angel, how have we come to this?" The stress and worry clearly evident in the woman's voice,

"Don't worry Sister Emma, we will be gentile, your sarcastic comments earlier aside."

"I think we are making a mistake." Emma made her presence known more forcibly this time, the rest of the shadowy group remained stone faced and silent, "we are trying to control an angel, to make her fight the Devil, does she even stand a chance?" Emma was clearly concerned about this course of action,

"Don't concern yourself sister, once the angel has been brought under our control, she will happily destroy the Devil, how could something so pure not want to destroy evil?" A superior and condescending tone was heard across the room,

"I concede the point brother, you knowledge on this is unmatched and the plan is sound, but I can't in good conscious not say that actually imprisoning and angel is the best way forward!" Compassion from the woman was felt by the group but ignored,

"It is the only way!" A quiet but finite response is what Emma got, it was wrong and she knew it! Emma would find a way to help, even if it meant making a deal with the Devil.
