from the couch.
    Every head turned and every eye steeled on mine, looking more surprised than anything.
    “No , Emma. You’re still human and only seventeen, which makes you a minor. So, Alaine has the final say,” James answered.
    It would be him to give an answer like that. He was the closest to her, and the oldest of the bunch, aside from Samuel and Danyel. 
    “Well, I don’t think that’s fair. If we do nothing but sit here, we’re as good as dead anyway. They will eventually find a way in, and Lucian will kill every last one of us. I agree with Danyel. If we have the slightest chance, we should take it. At least we’ll be fighting towards something that could possibly save us all,” I said. I was actually proud of myself for standing up. It was liberating.
    There was complete silence. Everyone stayed still, probably letting what I said, sink in. I knew I was right. I just needed them to agree with me. If I stood firm, I knew I could change their minds. They knew all about fighting, and not giving up…and I was practically one of them. 
    “I’ll do it,” I said loudly, breaking the silence. “I’ll go and speak to Lucifer.”
    “If you’re going, then I’m definitely going,” Kade said, with a wide smile. His hazel eyes glimmered, and told me he was in agreement with what I said. My heart swelled as I looked at his handsome face. I wanted to run to him, and wrap my arms around his neck, and hold him. I was so glad to see him back, even though he looked so weak.
    “I’ll go too,” Danyel added . “You’ll need someone to guide you.”
    “And you know that if you are going, Emma, I will also. I’ll be there to protect you. It is my duty as your father,” Samuel said, walking out from the bedroom, drying his wet face.
    Oh my God! I suddenly had a Lord of the Rings flashback…the moment they all decided to go on the quest with Frodo. Then, a picture of Jeremy and Lia, the best friends I left behind in L.A., flashed in my mind. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was Jeremy’s favorite, and I could picture them jumping at the chance to be my companions on this quest. But thank God they weren’t, because there wasn’t an athletic bone in either of their bodies and they’d probably both end up dead.
    I missed my two crazy friends , and the thought of them brought back overwhelming emotions, which I pushed to the back of my brain, so I could function enough to get through whatever was going on right now.
    With a large smile on his face Samuel walked up to Danyel and greeted him with a warm hug. 
    “It’s so nice to see you alive , dear friend,” Danyel said. He patted Samuel on his shoulders, and then pulled him into another bear hug.
    Then it dawned on me. This was the first time they’d seen each other since they were captured by Lucian, and i t must have been the first time they’d actually had a chance to speak. 
    “Yes! And it’s great to see you too, friend,” Samuel exhaled loudly. “But easy…my ribs are still on the mend.”
    “I’m sorry,” Danyel said, releasing his grip.
    “Danyel, thank you for saving my daughter,” Samuel said kindly, turning to me with a smile.
    “ How could I not? When I looked into her eyes, it was as if I were looking into the eyes of my old friend. I could not sit by and allow the fate of her father to become her own.” Danyel’s brow furrowed, and his eyes saddened. “And what did happen to you Samuel? How did you manage to come back from the dead after all these years?”
    “ It’s a long story my friend, and too much to explain right now. But, it looks as if we will get to spend some time together. I’m sure there will be a chance for us to talk.”
    “That sounds good,” Danyel grinned.
    “Well, my friend. It looks like we will be together on another mission. At least this time we will have a chance to redeem ourselves,” Samuel said. They both smiled and laughed.
    “Samuel! How could you do this to me?” Alaine yelled. She had opened
