The next day rolled around and Alfred woke up his claws were gone. "hey artie!" Alfred said shaking Arthur awake grabbing the clothed portion of arthur's body. "artie my claws are gone! Can you believe it?!" Alfred asked.
"it means you've learned to be temperate…" Arthur said. Arthur looked at his arms and saw that as Alfred learned his lessons arthur's angelic powers also faded. Arthur gave a slight smile.
"however I'd still like some food…" Alfred said.
"I'll go get some then." Arthur said standing up. He summoned a coat and pulled up his hood. Arthur grabbed the box of records.
"WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Alfred yelled running over to Arthur.
"Alfred I have to sell these, these records are classics." Arthur said.
"exactly why we should keep them!" Alfred said. "we cant sell these!"
"Alfred, we only have two choices, continue to not eat, or sell these and get food." Arthur said.
"b-but!" Alfred tried to fight.
"it's one or the other." Arthur said looking at Alfred.
Alfred let go of the box and looked down. "w-why do we have to?" Alfred asked.
"because Alfred, we cant always get everything we please… if we give these away we get food…" Arthur said. Arthur set the box down and put a hand on alfred's shoulder.
"but they're so good…" Alfred said looking sad.
"I know Alfred, I've enjoyed them since I went to heaven, but I'm willing to give them away to get you food… do you understand?" Arthur asked. Alfred looked at Arthur.
"i… I didn't think of it like that… w-we don't have to give them away, I don't need to eat… I promise…" Alfred said.
"oh Alfred… you know just as well as I do that your stomach will begin to growl… let me do this for you alright?" Arthur asked. "you aren't used to fasting, and it's obvious that we are on our own for now…"
Alfred's tail whipped and he sat down. "f-fine…"
"they will be going to people who hold them more important than we do." Arthur reassured.
"sure…" Alfred said with a sigh, moving away from a pout.
"I'll be back." Arthur said with a sympathetic smile. He ruffled Alfred's black hair with his gloved hand.
"Just… come back soon… and take the record player too… what's the point of having those records if they don't have something to play them on, am I right?" Alfred asked with a bit of a sad smile. Arthur smiled.
"Help me with it?" Arthur asked. Alfred nodded and got up grabbing the heavy record player. They loaded it in the car. "I'll be back in a couple of hours alright?" Arthur asked.
"Yea… be safe ok? The roads must be pretty icy…" Alfred said.
"I will ok? Don't destroy the house while I'm gone alright?" Arthur asked climbing into the car.
"I can't make any promises!" Alfred said with a laugh. Arthur chuckled. He drove off towards the nearest town.
Alfred waited for Arthur for hours and it was pretty late by the time the door opened. Arthur looked exaughsted. Alfred looked at Arthur. "What's wrong?" Alfred asked.
"Nothing… It's fine…" Arthur said walking to the kitchen and dropping the brown bag on the counter.
"uh… it doesn't seem like it Arthur…" Alfred said.
"Alfred your horns are gone." Arthur said. Alfred still couldn't see Arthur's face, but Arthur touched the top of Alfred's head.
"Yea, they are, but what happened? Did someone try to rob you or something?" Alfred asked.
"No actually… I was out of the town when it happened…" Arthur said.
"What is 'it?'" Alfred asked. Arthur tried to push past Alfred holding his arm. Alfred grabbed Arthur turning him around and he pulled up the sleeve being careful not to touch the skin. There was a mark on Arthur's arm, it was still bleeding. "what happened?" Alfred asked looking at the mark.
"a-ah… y-your friends… k-kiku… a-and g-gil something… t-they tried to attack me…" Arthur said.
"what?" Alfred asked looking shocked. "oh shit…" Alfred said.
"they ruined the car… i… I'm sorry Alfred…" Arthur apologized.
"no Arthur don't apologize about this ok?! You're going to be ok!" Alfred said. He lifted Arthur up and ran around finding the door to the attic. He opened the door and climbed up there laying Arthur on an old bed. "they wont give up on finding you unless I tell them otherwise ok? They'll come here and I'll tell them to go away." Alfred said.
"a-alfred they wanted to kill me… I don't suppose that will work…" Arthur said.
"Arthur if they don't… then I will make them…" Alfred said with a growl. Alfred touched arthur's hooded head and then climbed down to the house and closed the door hiding Arthur. The door exploded and Alfred walked out to the living room.
"alfred?!" asked alfred's friend. He was albino, his eyes were red and he was lean. This was alfred's friend gilbert.
"hey gil… and kiku…" Alfred said walking. He crossed his arms.
"oh my god… he made you hideous…" kiku said almost about to cry out.
"because I was the very personification of the seven deadly sins… when I learn to turn them into virtues I'll be back to normal…" Alfred said. "I've already started."
"Alfred… that is the reason you were a demon in the first place! If you change those back you'll be human!" gilbert growled.
"I know… maybe I want to go back to being a human…" Alfred said.
"what are you talking about!" kiku cried out. "you cant do that!"
"because I'll have a second chance? Maybe heaven really is better… I don't know…" Alfred said scratching the back of his head.
"he's invaded your mind! Are you hearing yourself?!" gil asked with a his. "you were the most beautiful of all of us!"
"I know, but now I have a chance! I hated seeing all those other people being tortured! I hated torturing them! I cant stand that anymore!" Alfred yelled.
"don't you see that he's brainwashed you?! Alfred you didn't care before! Where is that bastard?! I'll kill him!" kiku yelled pulling out a shadow katana.
"if you try you'll have to get through me." Alfred said using his fierce appearance to his advantage. His head lowered and his wings raised. His tail whipped and his horns almost felt like they were burning.
"well then… looks like we're going to start a fight." Gil said pulling out his own sword. Alfred's hand pulled through the air and he pulled out his own sword. Every demon had their own sword of shadows, and since Alfred was the strongest under the king of hell himself he had the most powerful of demons.
"we don't want to fight with you Alfred!" kiku growled.
"like hell!" Alfred growled.
"we came so that ivan wouldn't have to!" gil growled. Alfred knew that gil hated Ivan briganski even more than Alfred did, and that was saying something.
"you're lying to me!" Alfred growled.
"now we aren't!" kiku growled.
"leave!" Alfred growled slashing his sword at his two former friends.
"you asked for it… we were only looking out for you…" gil growled. He grabbed kiku's arm and the two left the house. Alfred put his sword away and waited a couple minutes. Once Alfred was sure they were gone Alfred ran to the attic door and he opened it and climbed up and got Arthur. He carried Arthur down in a princess hold. Alfred laid Arthur on the couch and rolled the sleeve up again and Alfred put on a pair of gloves so he could touch arthur's skin.
"it's not over is it?" Arthur asked.
"no… they're sending in the big guns next… satan really wants me back… I'm really powerful…" Alfred said.
"I know…" Arthur said relaxing.
"what the hell was He thinking? Did He think you could really take on two demons?" Alfred asked.
"He knows what I'm willing to do Alfred…" Arthur said with a little mumble.
" well… I appreciate His faith and all that… but I don't know if you have the will or strength to stand up to Ivan…" Alfred said.
"He doesn't give any challenges we cannot overcome…" Arthur said closing his eyes.
"Arthur I'm not going to watch Ivan tear you apart!" Alfred growled.
"that's why you are here… you could never overpower him alone, but with my help you could beat him Alfred…" Arthur said.
"I don't want to get you involved with that…" Alfred said.
"He has power over everything we do, especially on earth." Arthur said.
"but Satan has power over Ivan…"
"And He has power over Satan…" Arthur said. He touched his gloved hand to Alfred's face. "don't worry about it…" Alfred grabbed Arthur's hand.
"I don't get it…" Alfred said.
"get what?" Arthur asked.
"I guess… I just never let myself realize before… but… you seem so famillure…" Alfred said. Arthur gave a sigh.
"I'd be lying if I said the opposet…" Arthur said looking away from Alfred. Alfred wanted to ask, he really did. But he also didn't want to push Arthur. So he let his hand drop and he looked over at the notes. Arthur looked at Alfred. Alfred then got up and started to explore rooms. Arthur followed after him nervously. He stood in front of the door leading to Arthur's room. For the first time Arthur noticed how Alfred towered over Arthur.
"hey artie can you move?" Alfred asked. Arthur looked down shifting uncomfortably.
"n-no…" Arthur said.
"uh dude? What's wrong? Why wont you move?" Alfred asked.
"i-it isn't time yet." Arthur said looking at Alfred.
"it isn't time? What?" Alfred asked. "dude seriously move." Alfred said about to push past Arthur. Arthur pushed on Alfred.
"no! it isn't time for you to find out about this yet!" Arthur said. He looked at Alfred with a dead serious face. Alfred looked at Arthur surprised and confused.
"what is going on?" Alfred asked. Arthur looked down nervously.
"I can't tell you." Arthur said. "I cant tell you about the notes and I cant tell you about what is in this room… I really just… need you to trust me…" Arthur said. Alfred's eyes gave Arthur a scrutinizing expression and Arthur squirmed under his gaze. "I'm sorry…" Arthur said.
"when will I find out?" Alfred asked.
"i… I don't know…" arthur said. "that's only for Him to decide…"
"that is crap…" Alfred said. "you just don't want me to know." Alfred said.
"not for now…" Arthur said. Alfred growled and turned. There was a crashing sound and the door flew through the large living room and crashed through the glass of the back door.
