Chapter 13

In spite of his resentment at being chosen for this mission, Judas felt a certain amount of compassion for her situation. He could understand why she would try to end her life, but still disliked the fact that this was a mission only he could perform. According to the papers he held in his hands, he was to go and find Lupercus and kill him, for only his death would put an end to the power he had so badly abused. His greed for evil had grown to such heights that he couldn’t be trusted anymore. It had caused him to go mad, causing such torment in this mortal that she couldn’t face another day knowing what she was. Her suicide attempt had come too close for comfort, and Lupercus had to be dealt with before his madness destroyed Hell and all its inhabitants. A scowl appeared on his face when his eyes fell to a hand-written note in purple ink. It implicitly stated that he wasforbidden to lay with her.
