Na'eemah looked at her mother and felt a bit remorseful.

" Mother, it's been over a hundred years that I've been with him, if anyone was going to do anything to keep us apart it would have happened already."

Kebechet sighed " Do you think the Gods don't know patience? We have all the time in the world."

Na'eemah pursed her lips " Why do you hate him so much?"

Kebechet scrunched up her face " Because, he's no good. I can tell. He's been sullied by the wars in Hell and is no match for you. Do I believe he is good? No. Do I believe he used to be? Yes. He may be good to you but that shouldn't be the only factor you go on. "

"But mama, how they do things are different, he has to spill blood and it's not like he's harming innocent people. He's just doing his job."

"I want you to think about him carefully. This demon that has killed for you, and throws away his duties for you. Do you think he has always been truthful to you? Do you think he'll stay by your side forever?"

"It's because he does all those things for me that I want him by my side forever. He helped me get revenge and when I call for him he shows up no matter what. The fact that he did what he did knowing it would set him back from going to Heaven, I know that he loves me and I love him."

Kebechet stared at her daughter silently then spoke after a while. " Do you really love him?"

Na'eemah looked at her as if she were an idiot. " Of course I do mother, how is that even a question?"

" I'm serious 'Eemah. Do you really love him or are you so blinded by his supposed infatuation that you think you love him too? PLus when you add in his attractiveness and your feelings of gratitude into the mix and the sex, well you could be fooling yourself and him as well."

Na'eemah crossed her legs and her arms. " So we're going from 'he's a bad guy and if he really loves me' to ' do you really love him' tactics?"

Kebechet shrugged " I just noticed how you speak of him is all. Attractiveness isn't all there is to it nor is it okay to feel that things are okay because the monster your with isn't a monster to you. Are you really okay with what he does? Don't you really wish for someone who not only fights for good, but is actually on the side of the good?"

Na'eemah shifted " Well yes but he's going back to Heaven soon so he'll be on the side of good again."

" What if he's so far gone this time that God doesn't want him to come back?"

Na'eemah shook her head. " Nope, I'm sure his God knows his heart is still good and will accept him despite what he had to do in Hell."

" What if he is given the chance to go back and doesn't accept it? He did so once before." Kebechet asked sipping her wine once more.

" No, he wouldn't do that. He loves me but he loves his God more."

" What if his God says that he wants the demon to drop you?"

Na'eemah clasped her hands together " Then...Then I'll just have to deal with the heartbreak then."

Kebechet sighed " I tried to keep you from the trouble. You just know, I've been keeping his involvement in your life a secret for many years and I can continue doing so until things work as you think you have planned. But the moment he does anything, anything at all, that truly makes me question his integrity and ethics, I will speak to Anubis."

Na'eemah sucked in her breath " You stopped speaking to grandfather before I was even born."

Kebechets' jaw ticked " I would do anything in my power for your well being. If I have to speak to Anubis to break you two apart I will. But I hope you two will have ended things on your own before then."

Na'eemah huffed " You'd wish ill will upon us mother?"

"No, I just want you to see what I see. I don't want you to go through the heartbreak I went through and end things now, if not then I'll do what I must."
