The Divine Whisper
going to let me finish?”
    “I thought you were done.”
    “I stopped to take a breath… that’s all.” When he said nothing more, she went on. “Someone would notice if something out of the ordinary was happening at the mark’s house, but somewhere that has more people, not everyone is paying attention to what’s going on around them.”
    “What about in between school and her home?”
    Tori was already shaking her head before he finished. “It’s too unpredictable. We don’t know exactly what she does in that time.”
    Gemariah was about to pull out his hair in frustration. “Exactly! Then why are we acting right away and not observing her routine for a few days?”
    Tori scoffed at the idea. “You’re kidding, right? There is a possible demon hanging out around Trinity. Do you not see the significance here?”
    Of course. He needed to get his head back in the game, because he had missed that key point. The situation had just gone from bad to really fucking bad.
    Not too long ago, their world was turned upside down when Malachi confronted and battled his great-grandfather, Azazel. In all the chaos beforehand, Azazel had Trinity killed while Malachi was helpless to do anything.
    When it was all over, Azazel was gone, but so was Trinity. That’s what they all thought anyways… Apparently, unknown to any of them, they all had one soul mate that could be turned into a nephilim, bound to them forever. Trinity was Malachi’s, and they had already mistakenly started the turning process before she was killed. That was the only reason she was able to be brought back.
    Of course, to be brought back, there was a catch. The turned nephilim was an exact equal to their partner. Feelings, thoughts, pleasure, pain… everything was shared. It also included death. The only way to kill a turned nephilim was to kill their counterpart.
    It was for that reason, why everyone was worried about discovery. If the high profile players for Darkness figured out how to make more nephilim, and that they were virtually indestructible, everyone would be in for a world of shit. That was why they were trying to keep Trinity separated from everything. If there was a demon planted in the school, it was safe to say that there was already some speculation going around.
    To him, it sounded like too much of a responsibility. To change a soul mate and be forever bound to them… He would pass.
    Thinking of Trinity, he had a new resolve and with determination, he mentally started running through the layout of the school. He had gotten to know it well from the time he was assigned to watch over Trinity. “Okay, so what’s our best option for getting her alone?”
    “I’d say, the best way is to head to the office, show our badges, and ask for them to call her down.”
    “You don’t think they’ll be somewhat leery of handing over a minor to officials without their parents present?” Gemariah could already see how that scenario would play out.
    Tori looked at him expectantly with eyebrows raised. “Maybe there’s something we can do to make them feel a different way. Better yet, what you can do.”
    He thought about it and figured it could work, but that didn’t mean he was comfortable with it.
    Every nephilim inherits certain powers from their celestial bloodline. They all have numerous abilities, but one stands out above all others. For him, it was the ability to control other’s emotions with a single touch as well as being hyper sensitive to what others were feeling.
    All too well, he remembered the time before he learned how to build a mental barrier. They were extremely hard years, and he still didn’t know how he came out in one piece.
    He had used his abilities on many different missions, but he could never shake the nagging feeling of deceit with each person that was unaware of what he was doing.
    “Fine. She gets to the office, then what?”
    Tori thought for a minute, before shrugging. “We’ll just ask if there’s
