Prelude
The Demon Slayer
I’ve been told my green eyes have a dangerous glint. The leather jacket I wear is adorned with symbols, each representing a demon I had slain. The jacket feels smooth and cool to the touch has a sleek silver blade in the sleeve, polished and at the ready; though it’s not my weapon of choice. No one knows how I take their heart but they don’t know the talent an angel left with me either.
So, why the knife? To carve into the dead the symbols as the angel had instructed. Oh yes, she was very particular.

Frank aka Seraphiel, an archangel. I’d seen her the first time, on a night of howling winds and restless trees. Beneath a leather jacket her blouse of silky material, open at the throat and on down, reveals the curve of her luscious breasts, nipples peaked show against the fabric. I shouldn’t notice such things but it’s hard not to. She moves with such grace which is surprising for a woman so tall.
She seeks her next victim, with movements swift steps calculated, her eyes scan the street for hidden dangers, namely the police. They know she chooses her victims ahead, rapists who’ve never been caught. As I watch, suddenly, her green eyes turn towards me but she cannot see me, of course. And I smile, intrigued by her as well as watchful.
I’ll have to be careful if I don’t want to lose my heart. I’m an angel of the highest order, but I’ll be human down there and the rules are very different. Still, I’m looking forward to this fascinating woman and the gift I have for her.
