The Price of His Redemption

“Have you ever had to fix a dimension when it was inside a person?” Emma asked Michelle.


“No, because an empath with a powerful connection to a Guardian has never been stolen by another Guardian in order to siphon power from somebody who had no business possessing a Guardian’s power,” Michelle said, matter-of-factly. “And if we want to get through this peacefully, please try not to mention that fact to Gideon. If we want to get this done, his stubbornness won’t help anything.”


“When do you think we can get this done?” Jesse asked.


“Do you have the spell memorized?” Michelle asked.


“And what about tonight?” This was back to Jesse; he could see the battle warring behind Emma’s eyes. “I’m not a threat to you as long as my walls are up, you said. But I can’t do anything about it when I’m sleeping. Is that going to be a problem, or do I have to sleep in a guest room?”
