The Eyes of Heavenly Fire
Chapter 16
Rose
Rose felt Dimitri stir then waited quietly until he fell asleep. She quickly got off the couch and went up to his room. The candle he showed her the first night was still there. She grabbed the candle and asked it the question that Dimitri refused to answer.
"Show me what my necklace does."
Rose was sucked into a place that had a calm feeling to it. Dimitri was standing by a man that shinned like a true angel.
"Before you leave Dimitri. I have something for you."
The old man went to a shelf and handed Dimitri a small black box that contained her necklace.
"I'm flattered George, but I don't think I can pull this off."
"It's not for you. It's for Rose."
"What does it do?"
"It has a chemical that harms both angels and the fallen. Make sure she only uses it for emergencies. "
Dimitri nodded.
"And make sure she doesn't lose it. Sheridan made it."
"I will."
Rose felt a pair of hands pull the candle away as Dimitri looked at her with a disappointing look.
"What did you see?"
"Who's Sheridan?"
"Of course you saw that. Sheridan was George's wife."
"What happened to her?"
"A fallen angel killed her, so he could use her secret weapon. He didn't know that it was her necklace."
"What's in the necklace?"
"It contains poison only harmful to supernatural creatures."
"How do I use it?"
"You just have to throw it on them. The whole vile. It won't kill them, but a single drop of that can be rather unpleasant."
"Is there anything else I should know?"
"Just don't lose it. If the fallen gets a hold of this vile they can make mass amounts of this. Which wouldn't be good for our side in this war we've been fighting for centuries."
"I won't misplace it. I hardly take this necklace off."
He nodded and Rose bit on her cheek trying to think of a way to change the topic of their conversation. Learning all this angel stuff was fascinating but could get rather overwhelming at times.
"Are you hungry?"
He shook his head. "I'm actually really tired. Come on. It's time for bed. I think we've had enough excitement for one night."
She nodded following him to the bed as they climbed in she examined her necklace a bit more closely. She held the secret of harming supernaturals in her hands. It was both kinda awesome and terrifying. Considering the fallen had yet another reason to try and kill her. She was just that the intruder hadn't caught on the night they were here. She snuggled closer to Dimitri felling tired all of a sudden.
"When will Mia be out of the hospital?"
"In a week."
"We should go visit her sometime. I still feel bad for what happened to her."
"We will."
"I owe her my life Dimitri. She saved me."
"I should have saved you/"
"It's not your fault/ The car came out of nowhere."
"I should have pushed you out of the way."
Rose gave him a quick kiss and smiled.
"Just think of it as an I owe you."
"I'll gladly accept those terms."
She smiled and drifted off to sleep.
