Rose held onto Raphael tightly, burying her nose in his chest, soaking in his warmth and his scent. When she answered his question her voice trembled and reached barely above a whisper.
"Ever since I got here I was afraid one of the angels might find out and share Mr. Biehn's opinion. That night I jumped out the window? I lied at the banquet, I knew exactly where I was. I had just woken from a nightmare in which Michael had been hunting me, calling me vile names, claiming I was Satan's creature and had to be killed. I met Adam in that dream and he fell down a slope and then Michael reached me and I stumbled and fell down the slope as well and then I woke up. Shortly after that Michael barged into my room and I could only think that he had come to finish what he'd begun in the dream so I jumped out the window..."
She shuddered and breathed in deeply, hugging Raphael so tightly it had to hurt.
"And then you found out and I was so afraid you'd kill me or you'd tell your brothers and they'd kill me or you'd tell your God and he'd order you or your brothers to kill me and my pack. It's not only my life at stake if someone finds out. And I just can't risk it."

A distressed whine emerged from her throat.
