UNDERWORLD'S ANGEL
They call me Sinner, but my given name is Nero and with pale skin, snow white hair, a lean build and blue eyes I am every mans secret fantasy. At least that is what Von keeps telling me. He owns Fortuna's only place for forbidden pleasure, Heaven's Underworld Brothel and he desperately wants me to become one of his "Angels of the Underworld". I constantly tell him I'm not interested. I mean why would I be? I have a beautiful girlfriend and a respectable job. If I were to become an Angel of the Underworld, I would be disliked even more than I already am. Plus who is going to want me? My right arm isn't something one sees everyday with its bluish glow and red scaling, it normally repels others. I wouldn't make money and neither would he. And yet he still insisted. Even though I thought it would never happen, I actually took him up on his offer, the day my life came crashing down all around me.
It started on Valentine's Day, a cold bitter Valentine's Day. I just finished killing several Scarecrows that the Order wanted me to take care of. I was exhausted, slightly cut up and covered in black blood not to mention freezing. All I wanted to do was go home but the Order wanted me to report to the church. Upon my arrival I saw every member of Fortuna's military stand outside the doors of the church. I had a very bad feeling that I wasn't going to be too happy after this meeting.
"Wow, I didn't know we were having a party. Should have told me to bring something," I greeted everyone.
Some people chuckled and it was the kind of chuckling one likes to hear when they make a joke. It was more like there-is-a-surprise-in-store-for-you-punk chuckle. It made me feel even worse. So to distract myself from this awkward moment, I pretended to be concerned on how cold I was by rubbing my hands together. That's when the doors opened, I was saved. Once the doors were fully opened everyone flooded inside and took their seats. I did the same. However I wasn't seated for long because I was ordered to the front. As I walked down the isle I became extremely nervous. Everybody was staring at me. I felt that I would spontaneously combust that's how hard the men were glaring. I think some even smirked. When I was finally done with the walk of shame, Credo, the Savior and the case in which Red Queen came out of met me. Yeah this isn't good.
"Hello Nero," the Savior greeted. "I suppose you are wondering why we have all gathered here today. Am I correct?"
I nodded in return. He looked towards Credo and that's when I realized the wide smile threatening to cut his face in half.
"Credo will inform you on why."
Credo stepped forward and spoke loud and clear for the whole room to hear.
"Well Nero," he began patting my shoulder in the process. "As much as it pains me to say this I have no choice. Nero the Order has decided to relieve you of duty. Your presence is no longer needed. In other words you're fired."
"WHAT?!,' I shouted "Why? I one of the best you have. Why the HELL are you letting me go?"
"There have been too many complaints from citizens about destruction and injuries. We have had too many fatalities and property damaged is in the thousands. We are going to need you to hand over Red Queen," The Savior explained.
"Fine," I said calmly, yanking my beloved sword from my back. "I don't need this. Fuck you Credo. Fuck the Order and fuck Fortuna!"
Credo placed Red Queen back in her case and I stormed out of the building. Even though my back was turned to them I knew they were all smiling.
Later that day I came home to find Kyrie sitting on the brown leather loveseat in the living room. Her body language told me that something was bothering her. As I walked closer to her, she stood up and met me half way. That's when I noticed how her brown eyes were bloodshot and puffy. Her cheeks were rosy and tear stained. The beautiful bright smile that usually graced her face was replaced by a frown.
"Kyrie, are you okay?"
She didn't answer me right away. Instead she gave me a hug and kissed me on the cheek. She took my hand in hers and said "Nero we need to talk." She led me over to the loveseat and sat me down. This day was only getting worse. I already knew what she wanted to say to me. I know she doesn't feel the same like she used to. I just wish we didn't have to do this tonight.
"Nero," she took a long pause before she started up again. "I…I cheated on you. I feel so guilty about it. I'm very sorry."
I was speechless. The one person, who I thought loved me, betrayed me in the worse possible way.
"How could you? How could you do that to me Kyrie? If you didn't want to date anymore why didn't you just say so?," I shouted. I looked at her and felt the tears wanting to fall. I stood up and pushed my way passed her as I headed for the door.
"Nero please wait. I promise it won't happen again. Nero please don't leave me. I need you."
Before I opened the door I turned towards her and whispered something I thought I would never say to her, "Good fucking bye Kyrie."
At midnight I was standing in front of Heaven's Underworld gates. I pushed open the gates and made my way to the run down brothel's doors. The doors opened before I could even knock and standing before me was Von.
"Nero! I glad you came. Come on in. Welcome to the Underworld."
Once I stepped inside the place, something deep down inside me, told me I was going to regret this.
TBC…
