Chapter 3: Demon On My Right

Talking to Camille was like resurfacing after being under for far too long. It cleared my head and for the first time in what seemed like ages; I had someone who I didn't feel like I had to hide from, someone who listened and cared. Muriel and Demraziel cared, but not on the conversation, I began to yawn and Camille stopped me.

"Lay down Daniel, you are exhausted and I interrupted your rest," she smiled at me and I felt more awake but she was already pushing me back onto the cloud and wrapping me up in my own wings. She leaned down and kissed my forehead, her hair brushing my cheeks. "Sleep well, Brother."

"I should be laying you to rest, I am older…"I said to her but she interrupted.

"But not wiser. Get some rest."

"Stay. I've missed you. I don't want you to leave and then I'll wake up and you'll cloister again. You'll leave like you did the last time. Come and rest with me a while." I returned her smile and she slipped in beside me and whispered, "I'm not going anywhere, Daniel, I promise. Now rest." My eyelids felt very heavy and they started to droop, closing the light of paradise out. My mind went fuzzy and I realized that Cam was probably doing this on purpose: forcing me to rest.

"I promised you…. I wouldn't leave you…. Protect you…." My eyes closed and I fell blissfully into sleep.

I woke later, the stars above and felt Cam beside me, fast asleep. I smiled remembering her promise and the angel power induced coma she had placed me in. As children, we had always slept close, comforted by the nearness of each other, the sound of each heartbeat vibrant and reassuring. I pressed closer to her and realized how much I had truly missed my nest mate. I looked up and remembered the time when Cam woke with a night mare racing through her mind into mine, the same one that haunted my dreams when I was stressed, the one that came to me and left me in a cold sweat: losing Cam and then the fall of Heaven, the rise of Hell. A tormented world that was powerless and cruel. At times it still felt like I was in that night mare. Flying until my wings were in shreds and running until my feet were ravaged and never making it in time.

Seeing the stars tonight, glinting from here in Heaven, things seemed like they were never really that bad until I returned to my Earthly home and was met with the tragedy there: faithlessness, hopelessness, sinfulness, carelessness, and hatred. Here, things were never bad and it was deceiving. I knew the truth and the horror of it. I looked back at Camille; she smiled in her sleep, nightmare free, as she pressed closer to me and settled down further into sleep. I allowed myself to close my eyes and dream of world better than the one I had experienced so far. One where children didn't die and there was no more pain. Because in the end, the single worst thing was that the innocent, all of humanity, didn't deserve the suffering that they went through, though it was a means to a desirable end. I dreamed of a place where I was safe from seeing their suffering, a place where all I saw was that look that which was on that boy's face when he was no longer in pain. Turning over, I allowed myself to slip back into slumber, sleep overtaking me and I felt myself slip into a dreamless sleep.

The Take

There, in front of me, was my target. Slumbering with another of her kind. "Nest mates" as I remember them being called. My lip curled in disgust. Such brotherhood was disgusting. I woke her from her slumber, invaded her mind and drew her to me. And, keeping a strong hold on her mind, stole her away from this place. Her fear filled me and I reveled in it. Savoring it's virginal feel and letting it wash over me and sate my hunger for discord. This would inevitably cause war and this time, Hell would win. My Lord was counting on me to and I would not fail. I dragged her through "Heaven", meeting no resistance, to the portal and threw her down through it. So much for omniscience, not a problem in sight. I followed her through and plummeted to the Earth, I would let the scum of the Earth take care of the young bird. I knew for a fact that I had thrown her into the bowels of hell, so to speak. A place where a greater demon lurked. She would be taken care of. All of Earth would be looking for her if he didn't.

This Chapter is really short but i will be updating in the next day or so. Just have to make some corrections and stuff and it will be really interesting, i promise!

Read and review!
