Starting line:
Chrys was unsurprised to hear footsteps behind her on the snowy path; she hadn’t been able to hide the flash of defiance when he’d set her his task. Knowing that Father Michael, the real Father Michael, had died because of her, and this…thing, this creature, had taken his place made swallowing the orders given to her that much harder. Almost harder than accepting the demon in her own head.

Ending line:
Lucifer’s smile matched hers. “Indeed we shall.” He raised his voice. “Sound the call. Everyone must pray!” He moved to Lyla’s side. “And you, child, must come into the safety of the inner chapel. We cannot risk you.”

Darling:
An automation had more emotion than the shell of the man that waited for her, snow falling on him like a shroud.
