Hey guys, I just wanted to thank everyone for reviewing!
So here I was, standing before my father with a hole in my shoulder and a gash on my stomach. None of it was fatal though, especially because due to my demon blood, I heal twice as fast as a human but it still hurts. That guy will pay. After I explained to him what had happened, he was eerily calm.
"You have failed me again, Maximum. I expected better of you." he lectured.
Although I had no recollection of the last time I had failed him, I decided not to argue. He would probably kill me. Instead, I stood there quietly and with a stoic expression. When he had finished his speech, he made a remark that captured my attention once again.
"Now this angel you spoke of, I do have an idea of who and what he is."
"What would that be, Father?"
His lips curled in to a cruel smile, "Have you not heard the rumors? How ill informed you are."
"Don't patronize me." I warned, "And tell me what you know."
"Of course not, dear daughter." He practically spat the word daughter. "Now, this angel you were defeated by is a very powerful one indeed. You see, he's not even entirely angel. It appears that one of my most trusted demon servants had an exotic and forbidden taste in women. So tell me, Maximum. What do you get when you cross a demon and an angel?"
"I-I have no idea." I confessed.
"Well it's simple. You get an angel of darkness. Such as your little friend with a vengeance."
"An angel of darkness?"
"Yes, an angel of darkness." He said with an exasperated sigh at my slowness. It's not my fault this is something I never knew was possible. And the fact I was almost killed by it. "However, this certain angel is not only dangerous but also has a God complex. Which is also why he has achieved a reputation."
"And what would that be?" I questioned.
"He has a knack for killing almost hundreds of my men singlehandedly in battle and for hunting them down when they're going about their business. Do you have any idea what a problem he has been causing me? All of my demonic on earth are being wiped out and majority are because of this nuisance. As of now, he is the biggest threat to the underworld since the archangels are unable to walk earth due to their power that the mortal world cannot hold. Therefore, I am giving you the chance to redeem yourself."
"What may I do for you, sir?" I asked wearily.
"I need you to go to earth and retire this threat. And if you fail me once more Maximum, then I will have no choice but to punish you to the extent of my abilities. Have I made myself clear?
"Crystal, Father." I mumbled.
"Perfect. Prepare for departure immediately."
"Yes, sir. But before I go, does this angel have a name?"
"I believe he calls himself Fang." He stated impassively as if he were bored and had already lost interest in the conversation.
As I stalked out of the throne room to go meet my friend Iggy and inform him of what happened, I had only one thought running through my mind.
I am so screwed.
(Fang POV- surprise!)
Damn it all. I let her get away. Stupid. I kept repeating that word every time I hit the punching bag that was hanging from the ceiling by a chain in an old abandoned warehouse. This was my home sweet home. For now unfourtunately. As soon as I exterminated the vermin that walk among and attack the humans, then I am free to do as I please. That was my mission on earth, to eradicate them. All of them. And that's exactly what I plan to do.
As of now, I am in the middle of a run down neighborhood in Las Vegas. It seems that the demonic love Sin City. That's not very surprising though.
This is my routine. Sleep all day, eat, work out, go on patrol, kill some demons, and then i repeat. This time is an exception though. She had gotten away. To make it worse, I didn't even make it in time to save the human. I failed. I hate that word. That's why I never fail. Ever. Until now, that is. Which is also the reason why I am beating my punching bag to death.
When I had finished, I changed into clean clothes, all black, and headed out. I needed information on this girl. She was no ordinary demon. I could sense her presence but it was different compared to others. I almost didn't attack until I felt the demonic power become more prominent when she killed the man.
Anyway, I was on my way to one of my contacts. A psychic named Angel who was also one of my only "friends", I guess. She also has a brother named Gazzy who I speak to as well but he is not a psychic and has digestive problems. He's not as helpful as Angel, as you could have guessed. He was still great company though, so I enjoy talking to him.
I finally arrived at Angel's shop, which is a little hole-in-the-wall located in one of the less prestigious areas in the city. I opened the door and the little bell rang and was followed by the sound of rustling in the backroom. From behind the curtain, emerged Gazzy who called back to her.
"Angel, Fang's here!"
Sorry guys, I'm back from marching band and am extremely tired. Expect an update tomorrow though!
