A Demon's Angel
Chapter 1: They're Back

*** This is a sequel to An Angel's Demon (located at www.fictionpress.com ), and it would make sense to read An Angel's Demon first, as you'll know what and the who better. ***
It was a strange find – it was nothing like anything in this city – yet here it is, sitting in the middle of the room. Although strange, it had a certain beauty. It was well carved, almost too perfect to be done by hand or machine. The two creatures, human in appearance, sat back to back in perfect stone. A look of love and sorrow, such perfect emotion displayed. It seemed almost real, as if not made of stone the two would be alive and move about. This perfect, yet strange statue rests in the center of the Naughty Ottsel. It was the last shipment ordered from Krew. Why he wanted it or where it came from is unknown. All they know, or think they know, is that it's old and it isn't from Haven City.
"Well it must be worth a lot of money."(Jak) "That ugly thing?"(Daxter) "It's not ugly."(Tess) "It's got so much emotion..... I wonder if they were lovers..." (Keira) "Maybe.." (Tess) The four think for a moment as they survey the statue. "What should we do with it?"(Tess)

"Tohee.... Alavoo maki sor amiey....corday hijii....corfii sheno ladime.... Awaken...." Erol's eyes opened slowly and squinted to see in the dim light. "What....Who?"(Erol) The last thing he remembered was crashing and.... dieing! "I am Rakiyu."(Rakiyu) "Where am I?"(Erol) "You are alive, that's all that matters now. They will soon awaken...."(Rakiyu) Erol goes to reach his arm up but realizes he can't move. "What the fuck! Why am I tied down? I-"(Erol) The woman shakes her head. "You are not tied down."(Rakiyu) Erol makes a face. His eyes slowly search his surroundings. "What?"(Erol) He finds himself looking up, no down, at the floor. He looks at himself and his condition. His body is held to the ceiling by clamps on his wrists, ankles and one on the lower part of his stomach. He is wearing shorts and blood soaks his body. The ceiling around him is dripping blood.
"It is part of the ritual.... You will be down soon. For now you must absorb the blood."(Rakiyu) Erol makes another face, noticing the blood smeared on her body and the blood markings on the floor. "W-"(Erol) A wave of sleep flows over Erol and he falls unconscious. The blood runs over his body as if gravity did not exist and the blood markings on the floor glow eerily. Rakiyu smiles as she watches the scenario. She licks her blood covered fingers and leaves the room.
When Erol wakes up he is lying on a large stone table. He goes to get up but his body is too week. "What the hell is going on!?!" (Erol) His voice echoes through the seemingly empty room. Erol turns his head, only to spot Rakiyu standing beside a wall with an old looking book. "What are you doing?"(Erol) Rakiyu looks up from the book and puts down the pencil. She has changed her outfit. She now wears a tight leather belly shirt with bone trimming, a short double slit leather skirt, and a pair of shaggy furred leather boots with straps extending up her legs. A belt with a bone dagger rests on her waist. She walks over to the table, keeping her eyes on Erol in a trance0like way. "Waiting, preparing a few things...."(Rakiyu) She places a hand on Erol's chest. Erol looks down at her hand, noticing his 'new clothes'. He is wearing a tight dark blue shirt and black pants. "What is going on? Why am I here?"(Erol) Rakiyu draws circles on Erol's chest. "You see... You and I have things in common.... Things we want gone....and power... the need for power. I brought you back, Erol, so we can have these things...."(Rakiyu) Rakiyu smiles, sending a chill down Erol's spin. "Where am I?"(Erol) "Here... on a table... with me.... In my new hide-a-way."(Rakiyu) Erol makes a face, not exactly the answer he was looking for. "What exactly do you have in mind?"(Erol) Rakiyu leans close to Erol's ear, her cool breath trickling it. "Well.... It's a, you scratch my back and I scratch yours deal.....plus a bonus....." (Rakiyu) She kisses his ear. "Really...And if I don't agree?" (Erol) Rakiyu pulls out her bone dagger and holds it to his throat. "Then I get to torture and kill you. Besides after you hear my plan, I'm sure you'll agree it's one of a kind and a chance of a life time deal." (Rakiyu) Erol makes a face and tries to get up. "Uhg... "(Erol) Rakiyu leans closer to Erol and whispers in his ear her plan. As Rakiyu speaks, Erol thinks it over – various expressions mask his face. ".... now, do you agree? If you truly do then you will be able to get up... if not... well we know what will happen." (Rakiyu) Erol smiles an insane smile. "I agree..." (Erol) Erol sits and slides off the table. Rakiyu smiles and the two walk out of the room.

"Maybe there's a plaque or something on it..."(Jak) He walks over to the statue and places a hand on it. "We could sell-"(Daxter) He is cut off by a blinding light that swallows the room and throws the four back. The stone peels on the statue, revealing living flesh beneath. The two beings glow for a moment, neither seeing the other. The two turn into beams of light and race to the sky. One passes through a hole in the city barrier, but the other hits the barrier and is sent back down, crashing through the new hole in the Naughty Ottsel ceiling and thudding to the floor. The young man looks up at everyone in the room.

And cut! Ok people time for a rest! So how was it? It's short but I don't wanna stuff too much into the first chapter. This chapter's just to get everyone started and set the rest into action. Well hope you liked it! Please review! Thanks!
