The Alleluia Files (1999)
“With the slow, awkward downbeats required by lowterrain flying, Jared came after her, and he admired her speed. Just in case she had confused him with someone else, he called out to her a few times—“Hello, there! Don’t be afraid! Wait for me!”—but as he had expected, she didn’t even falter. Either she was afraid of angels, or she was afraid of everyone, because she kept racing away from him as fast as her feet would take her.
It wasn’t fast enough. Several times Jared closed with her, coming ne...ar enough to touch, and he felt the faint shock spark from his wing tips to his shoulders as his feathers brushed her skin. The sensation jolted her, too; each time she redoubled her efforts, straining ahead with desperate determination. It was hopeless, of course. Angels had incredible strength and unmatched endurance, and even the fleetest human could not expect to outrun a flying angel. She either didn’t know that, or could not rationally accept it. She ran. She ran.
