1986
(Gamer's POV)
Michael forced me to stay at the Light Temple for the day, he thinks that if I talk to the sisters of the temple, then I'd learn to be a better angel… nothing impresses him, when does anything impress an archangel? I walked along the balcony of the temple, obviously alone... like I always am. I'm an angel, but no one talks to me and keep their distance as if I were the plague... only Michael and the guard angels I work with acknowledge my existence... but its always because I'm a failure and can not do things right other than guarding a stupid brick wall. I don't even have any 'special' power like every other angel... I'm just boring and plain- I accidentally walked into someone dressed in white, immediately realizing who- "S-sorry sister"... I'm also the clumsiest angel in Heaven, along with the fact that I always drift off and stop paying attention to my surroundings. "Its okay, I walked into people by accident too" she giggled a bit as I noticed her features. Warm pale skin, long white hair, a huge pair of pure white wings, a few freckles lightly dusted over the bridge of her nose and her cheeks, but her eyes were what caught my attention... beautiful gold, never seen an angel with gold eyes, even as bright as hers. "I-I apologize- I need to pay more attention-" "Don't be sorry" she smiled "Getting lost into thoughts isn't a bad thing, neither is seeking the truth-" "Sister Mangle is right my dear" we both looked at a woman with ebony-brown hair, warm ivony skin, dressed in white and gold "Mother Zoraida" the sister bowed her head, I quickly did the same as the blind woman smiled at us. "I had a vision, a bit dark, but good- here he is" Zoraida looked up at the sky, we looked in the direction to see Michael, he landed beside us "Sister, Mother Zoraida, forgive me, but I have to take this angel" no, for once I'm free of your harshness, meet nice people- who am I kidding, no way in Heaven am I ever gonna get a say in things. Next minute I knew, I was flying back with Michael "There's been a breach, something has made its way into Heaven, one of the guards have managed to shoot it twice but its still roaming the area"....
Half an hour later...
"Check everywhere, he couldn't have gone far" the main angel guard yelled, a demon had been spotted near the eastern-wall, we have been searching for the demon for about half an hour now and we still haven't found them, this demon has been classified as 'Highly Dangerous' and if we do find them, it'll be the first time I'd see a demon, maybe not up close, more like from a far distance. "Once you find them, bring them to me. I'll dismember them, cut him up and force him to watch it all happen, then I'll throw him back to Hell" its scary to hear an angel say that. A few more minutes had passed and I heard heavy breathing "Did you hear that?" I asked an angel closest to me "Hear what?" ".... nevermind, I'm hearing things, probably just a little on edge" "Then calm yourself Gamer, we need to be focused and stay in our own heads" "Sorry" I walked to a different building to search, hearing the breathing again, I thought I was hearing things again until "Fuck!" I heard a harsh male whisper a word I never heard an angel say before, also hearing a hiss of pain I immediately thought the demon had injured an angel. I rushed around the corner and stopped dead frozen.... it was the demon. He had blackish-brown hair, warm ivory skin which was covered in black clothing and had amazing umber-brown eyes anyone could get lost in, well actually he have a deep cut in his shoulder and his right eye had been ripped out of the socket with blackish-red blood running down his face and arm. How can this guy be a demon? He finally made eye-contact with me "F-fuck.... please don't hurt me" he shielded his face, ready to be killed. I lowered my spear, I can't hurt him while he's like this, he hasn't even hurt or killed anyone here, for all I know, he could've just accidentally wondered into heaven or is probably lost.... I held out my hand "I'm not gonna hurt you" he looked up at me "I'm gonna help you" he hesitantly took my hand, I guided him back to my home, luckily I live alone. We made it without being caught, I locked the door behind us and took him to the bathroom, getting out the first aid kit. I took out a needle and thread, sewing up the cut in his shoulder as he hissed in pain, when I was done I cleaned up the blood and moved onto his missing eye. I cleaned the blood around it soon stopping in my tracks as I noticed that the demon was watching me "I-I'm sorry" he looked away, did he really just apologize?! I thought demons didn’t do that. Even though he’s a demon, am I suppose to be nice to him? I mean, I’m already helping him and he clearly does have manners…. “I-I’m Gamer” “Death” “Oh…” of course that’s his name “Sorry about my name, I didn’t mean to-“ “It’s okay, it suits you” I smiled a bit which actually caught him off guard, but what he did next really surprised me… he hugged me “Thank you” he also thanked me… this guy seriously can’t be a demon, or maybe this is what demons are like and we’re the one’s in the wrong. “Oh shit” he stopped hugging me and grabbed my wrist “Fuck!” I looked at my wrist to see a star…. if a demon or devil touches an angel, the angel will receive a star on their hand “I’m so sorry, now your stuck with that, its all my fault! I shouldn’t have gone wondering!” looks like demons know about this rule “I-It’s okay, I can just cover it up” I tried to assure him “I’m sure it was just an accident” I smiled as he hugged me again “Thank you so much Gamer”…..
Two Days Later...
I walked out to the living room to see Death lying on the couch, obviously bored. He won't answer any questions I have about demons, devils or Hell, the only things he told me that he was basically alone and a torture demon, and that no one was gonna come searching for him if they did realize he was missing... now that I think about it, no one would come looking for me if I went missing. He had kept asking me to help him get back, but I'd keep reminding him that he needs to heal properly before going anywhere. I put my shoes on and walked towards the door "I have to go do some things so no leaving the house-" "Like you remind me everyday" Death rolled his eye, flinching a bit from the pain of the missing one....
I nervously walked into the Light Temple, I went to touch the holywater, but it felt like someone boiled it... I quickly made my way down the hall and out to the balcony, seeing Zoraida, I quickly walked over to her "Mother Zoraida-" "No need to rush my child" I looked around, seeing and hearing no sign of the sisters "Where are-" "They are praying down stairs in the furthest part of the temple". Zoraida turned to my direction "Is it true that... you can see visions and the future?" "Of course my child, but it depends whether I answer questions for those who ask... there are things to be kept secret for reasons" I looked at the ground, rethinking my decision "Something the matter my dear?". "Why do people frown on an angel and demon getting along?" "Because they're scared of the friendship, only two have dared that relationship, and now both are wedded and forced to live apart" Princess Ashunti of the Morningstar wing and Prince Jackal of the Reaper wing, an angel of creation and a demon of death, you always hear stories of how they changed their grandfathers and the world- of topic now. "What if an angel helped a demon?" "First time hearing that one... depends if the help is considered sin or not" Zoraida's eyes glowed "So what is your actual question?" she asked "...am I going to live-" "You're gonna fly" I smiled "I'm gonna live-" "You're gonna die" confused about what Zoraida said as my smile dropped "You said I'm gonna live-" "I said you're gonna 'fly'" "I am gonna live-" "Gonna die" Zoraida used her hands to mime something falling. I immediately started running "They'll know" she called after me, I ran faster, out the Light Temple... I need to get back and get Death out of Heaven now...
I showed Death the gab in the wall “Just remember that this is the very edge, once you're through be ready to fall” “Thank you again Gamer, I’ll remember this” “Goodbye Death-“ Death kissed my forehead “Goodbye angel” he smiled before going through the gab in the wall. “GAMER!” I turned around to see a huge group of guards “Oh shit” I started to run as fast as I could as the guards chased me…
Half an Hour Later….
"Check every building! Find him and bring him to me!" I freaked out a bit and ran into the bathroom, locking the door. I lifted up part of my shirt to see a glowing demon symbol above my left hip "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!" I whispered, letting go of the fabric, panicking a bit. Angels caught with demon symbols are considered demons and working with Satan, if found they'll be executed on the spot, meaning once they find me, I'm dead. I looked back in the mirror to see the reflection of a demon "No!" I punched the reflection, mirror breaking as my arms turned black. "Nonononononono, I'm an angel! I'm an angel" the black slowly disappeared, but still stayed on my fingertips as a glowing red 'x' appeared on my forehead as the door busted open, two angels grabbed me by the arms and dragged me out the door all the way to the court yard. "Please! Stop! I'm an angel! Please!" I begged, trying to get out of the angels' arms as another pointed a gun at me "Please-" the gun fired twice, both angels let go of me as the bullets sunk deep into my chest, the angel holding the gun walked over to me "You were born a demon. Made a demon. You're no angel" she whispered, I dropped onto my knees as my halo broke and my wings decayed, feathers falling around me, all of them dead as my chest started to bleed out. The angel dropped her gun, grabbed my shirt and dragged me to the edge of Heaven "Be with your own kind" and like that, she threw me over the edge. I was falling, no wings to help me fly. I blacked out as I fell into the graveyard of Hell....
