swallowed in black

chapter one:

fallen halo

I had allowed myself to be attached to the human world, to a certain someone, to a human. I was suppose to guide a soul to heaven but I couldn't allow myself to bring that person to heaven, it was the one who had betrayed me, who killed me when I was once a human and then repented before his death to a priest. I wanted him to rot in hell and instead god deemed me unworthy of being an angel, they took my wings and ripped them off my body, I screamed and screamed for mercy but they wouldn't give in until a loud crunch and then it flew from my body, blood was everywhere in that little white room and somehow I survived with all of that blood loss, Raphael held me down as Gabriel ripped my wings off, Gabriel always had a sick sense of humor but this probably took the cake and Raphael had a sympathetic look to his face but I know he had no intention of doing this, even though Michael told him to do it god was the one who told him to hold me down on the ground.

No longer an angel of heaven, I was tossed down from heaven and landed in hell when I've been cursing gods name ever sense. I was once a high archangel, like my father Lucifer the archangel, I was called a princess of heaven instead of a prince, and was always below the rest of the males always trying to catch up to the others, they always seemed so much further then me, and I was just below there ranks but above the ranks of any angel and the most strongest and most beautiful female in all of heaven.

Then Lucifer has swindled his way into my soul, and took me into his home where I saw his cruelty first hand and became adjusted to the horrible screams below in the canyons of fire, where the damned where to be tortured for there crimes on earth. I also slowly grown accustomed to his random rage of fits, and his cruelty to his staff of demons. There where a few times I wished to run away and beg Michael and god to take me back to heaven, but those cries would go to empty ears if they even managed to hear me, especially sense my father was Lucifer.

After one thousand years I was finally allowed to leave the castle grounds, I began to wonder though the nearby villages where demons served meats and fruits of all kinds, even a few from the human world was served here. I always hated bird meat, even the duck was too gamey for me to eat and though I was fed by Lucifer and an occasional good soul I began to wonder back to human food, angels where accustomed to human food because we didn't have a dark void in our hearts to fill that only tortured souls could fill. While I still had a demon heart I still had the body of an angel, and very few angels came down here, unless of course they needed to deliver a soul and it was rare that a high being such as me even thinks of going to hell and I never even thought of going to the demon market, til today of course.

After finally paying for an apple with a bronze coin, I had multiple demons surrounding me, mostly dogs but I could care less, they where the lowest of the low, some of the humans called them werewolf's but I call them mangy muts "your not welcome in this side of town Missy" Missy? haven't been called that in a while I thought to myself casually, I crunched down on the apple as the juice slid down the side of my mouth, "and why not sparky?" they all chucked at my nickname for him, he growled and silenced there laughter, apparently he's the pack leader, interesting. He walked up to me and grabbed my chin "you may think your better then us Missy because you live in Satan's castle, but around here the demon dog clan runs this territory" I slapped his hand away and yawned "and your point is?" he growled "my brothers the damn leader!" I looked around me, thirty of them surrounded me all ready to nip at my feet, take me down, and rip me limb from limb easy killing I thought to myself sadly not even worth my time.

I sighed "you guys aren't even worth my time" I sighed and said "but I bet I could take you all down with my eyes closed" they all chuckled, even there leader laughed a little bit "you against thirty of us?" I raised my eyebrow "too hard for you, then I'll only use one hand, my left one, it's my weakest one" they all busted up laughing the leader stopped first and then silence filled the air "all right Missy, I'll take you on, and thirty of my men it will be, starting... now!" they all charged at me and I closed my eyes using only my left hand I blocked each of there moves and threw them like rag dolls across the market, including the big mouth right into a large pot making it break and spilling water with fish all over the place and on his lap.

I bit into my apple once again and walked off waving and yelling behind me "see you around kiddy's", I walked toward the forest for some fresh air, doing not even a morning's exorcize was not even worth the effort, but ad least I had some fun during that time. I managed to make it to a large oak tree and I sat on it with my legs crossed, I planted the apple core five feet from the oak tree. "Such an interesting thing your doing there" I looked up and found a pare of red eyes staring at me in the tree branches, I looked back down "I figured sense the tree gave me something in return I'd help it by reproducing it another tree" he jumped down and I got a better look at him, he had black midnight hair, pale skin, and red eyes for his appearance, he wore a leather jacket that exposed his chest with feathers on the rim, and tight leather pants with high heals on, but the thing that caught my eyes where his wings, usually demons didn't have wings because they where cased down from heaven, unless of course they where from the bird demon clan which have very close ties to Satan himself.

He smiled at me and asked "did these catch your eyes?" he pointed to his wings, I turned away and blushed "of course not" I lied, usually I was a pretty damn good liar but somehow, I was caught off guard by his wings I should've never left the palace, " forgive me but I have to go" I tried to leave but he caught my arm "will my lady please tell me her name before she leaves? surely a beautiful woman such as yourself should have a name" I looked down "I only have one name to speak of, but it's from a horrible past and should never be spoken again" he smiled, it was a beautiful smile "then how about I give you a name?" I looked at him and nodded "then what name should you give me sir?" he smiled "how about the name Autumn, it matches your orange eyes and your creamy skin" I smiled at him "yes, thats a perfect name, thank you, I shall treasure it always, goodbye" I ran off, toward the castle I ran until my legs could carry me.

I collapsed onto my bed, thinking of that man over and over again, he was sinfully beautiful, more beautiful then any other man I have ever met, especially the demon ones. I want to meet him again I thought, damn it why the hell didn't I think of asking his name! I cursed in my head. Of course doing my internal battle I didn't hear the knock on the door and the mini mouse whisper asking for entry, and of course I changed to my demonic form due to my stress, my black fur, orange eyes, black cat ears, and a thin tail showing when I changed forms "why the hell didn't I think of that sooner!"

She meeped and got almost scared shitless, she was new to the demonic world but also new to meeting Satan's daughter in her true demonic form "wait Blare!" but it was too late, she shut the door quickly and waited for me outside my room, her frantic heartbeat could be heard from across the hall. I sighed and changed back to my human form, I went to the door and opened it "sorry about that Blare, I just got a little stressed is all" it usually happens when I'm either scared or stressed out, but rarely was I scared about something, to be scared about something showed weakness in character, in which case my father cared for only things, power and strength.

Without power you couldn't rule over the demons and therefor have no strength and without strength you'd have no way of enforcing that power, so he devised his strongest men to rule over the different sections of hell, thirteen in all including his domain which was in the middle of the twelve other sections. Each person that rules the domain is a different animal and each a equal share holder of hell, but are only renting the apartment sort to speak. The moment they show disloyalty to him, they are instantly condemned to the darkness, the void between hell and a place where nothing exists and nothing comes back. Even the demons that live near the edge don't dare go there for any reason, those who come back are mangled beyond recognition, even my father hardly speaks of that place, saying where unlawful demons of unknown power lived in that black void.
