Author's Note: To start, I'm going to answer a few questions. First for Twiphase, Xandar is going to receive a demon disguise. And trust me, it won't disappoint. For Reading Beta, Xandar, due to his deal, does have mild superpowers. This includes agility, jumping out the window and landing painlessly on the ground in "Murder Family," for example, strength as shown in a few chapters, And high pain tolerance when he's angry. And to answer your other question, the demon who contracted Xandar, will come into play soon. Or least, the why. That's all I'll say for now.

Finally, for The Book Of Eli, there will be others who cast their eyes on Xandar. But you'll have to read to find out. With that being said, let's begin!

Last time on Xandar's Helluva Adventures, Xandar took down a giant fish monster, got a promotion and received a threat. Now...Xandar gets a surprise visitor on the same day.

Chapter Fourteen: A Surprise Guest

Xandar's P.O.V:

I rode the bus. The demons of Hell honestly haven't been targeting me as of late. Stolas apparently made an announcement right after the events Loo Loo Land and told the citizens of Hell to leave me alone. That was the good thing.

However I still received glares and not so subtle death threats. Nothing major. Just a throat cutting motion here and there. Also the mutterings of, "One day we'll get you." I sighed hearing this muttering again. Lord, please let this bus ride be quick.

After a half hour of stops and starts, I arrived at my destination. It was a cheap apartment, just 50 soul dollars a month. So you can guess how it looked. Well, to put it politely, the place was a shit hole.

The foundation was sturdy. But the windows were fractured in places, the doors had peeling paint, the bricks were cracked and the walls smelled of something sour and something more.

As I made my way inside I sighed again. I pulled out the apartment key labeled "61," placed it in the lock, turned the key and opened the door. I took a deep breath and was met with mold and mildew. Groaning in annoyance, I walked toward the couch and sat down.

"What a day," I mumble grabbing my face. Aside from the kidnapping and hypnotizing, today was great. I killed a giant fish monster and got my promotion. That kill though...it felt good. That was the problem though. I enjoyed it. Does this mean I'm evil? Am I really no different than the demons?

I take another deep breath and look at the coffee table seeing my book. It was a mystery novel. I couldn't tell you what it was called. The front cover was faded and the page with the title was blacked out. Rolling my eyes I picked up the book and resumed the book.

I was on page 500 of 1,500. As I continued to read, I swear I hear footsteps. Eh, it's probably nothing. As I get to the interesting part, a sex scene, I hear a knock on my door.

I groan in annoyance again. "You gotta be fucking kidding me," I hiss getting up to answer the door. I make my way to the door as fast as possible. I wish the door had an eyehole so I could see who it was ahead of time.

I open the door and my jaw drops. It was Loona! "Loona?" I ask in surprise. She looks at me with red eyes and running mascara. Oh God, she was crying. She felt worse than I thought. "Are you ok?" I inquire genuinely.

She looks at me with an "are you serious," expression. "What the fuck do you think?" She growls.

"I'm sorry!" I say in fear lifting up my hands. "I was just trying to be nice-" I try to say but she cuts me off.

"Xandar, when are you going to learn that being nice gets you hurt!?" She yells. I flinch. "Jesus, you're such a fucking stupid human! Gah!" She yells punching the wall. I step back startled.

I feel tears in my eyes. She was so nice today, she was praising my work! Now she's being cruel? What the fuck!? She looks at me in anger and takes in my look. Seeing my tears, she growls again.

"Fuck!" She roars again. "You're such a pathetic baby! You can't even take being yelled at! What is wrong with you!? Are you fucking re-" she starts. But she doesn't finish. I don't let her.

"Ok, you know what?" I begin with a glare and a growl. "I AM too nice. I AM fucking stupid! And you know what? I did nothing to you! I don't deserve this treatment!" I begin. I take a step towards her and she takes a step back in shock.

I decide to continue my rant. "Ever since I was little, everyone mistreated me, used and abused me and kicked me down so much! And since I got here, I had to deal with so many threats. I had to deal with Moxxie and Millie's fucking attitude and your fathers-"

"Only on paper..."

"-Asshole behavior! I had to make a deal with Stolas so I could survive! What's worse is that I CAN'T die and I won't be able to die!" I seethed.

"Xandar...I-" Loona starts eyes wide in shock. But I continue.

"To make matters worse? I can't even remember WHY I made that stupid deal. And every time someone other than me says deal or anything like that, I get a flashback!"

"Ok, that kind of explains the-"

"No! You zip it!" I roar and Loona flinches. She was never afraid of me before now. Seeing her fear me? It hurt. But I have to do this. "My mother was the ONLY person who gave a damn about me!" My eyes start watering and tears fall down my face.

"You know what sucks though? I AM a fucking virgin and a loser!" I yell voice cracking. Loona's eyes widen. "You were the only one who was nice to me!" I cry. "But even WHEN you were nice, you still were so indifferent to me!" This hurts so fucking much. But I Have to do this. I need to do this.

"I still receive death threats every fucking day! It wasn't until recently that your dad and Moxxie and Millie started caring about me. Stolas even adopted me into their family. But because of their poor excuse for a princess, I can't even be there!"

Loona opens and closes her mouth. It's like she wants to say something. But after a solid twenty seconds she finally closes it.

"And now? After the one day, the only day I could hold my own and save the human world. Especially you praising me? You come barging in my apartment to, not even vent, but treat me like I'm nothing. Yell at me because you got hurt," I finish taking a few shallow deep breaths.

I walk to the couch and Loona still stays at the door saying nothing. I plop down and grab my eyes. I cry heavily and sobs wrack my body like mini earth quakes. All I can hear is the sound of my pathetic crying and my scared beating heart.

I hear footsteps and I sigh. They are coming directly to me. She's going to kick my ass into the ground. Well, let her! I no longer care. She stops. I look up at her with teary eyes and slightly blurred vision. "If you're going to hurt me, then do it," I say weakly. "I don't care anymore."

She stays still, looking down at me. I sob again and look down. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." I look back up at her and she raises a hand. I look down again quickly and shut my eyes tightly. "Do it..." I say weakly expecting a hit, a kick or even a punch.

I let out another choked sob and I feel something. Two arms wrapped around me. I open my eyes in shock and lean my head to the right a little. It's Loona. And she's hugging me!?

I sob again. "I'm sorry," I gasp softly as more tears stream down my face. "I didn't want to hurt you." I'm about to say something else. I'm not given the chance.

"No," Loona begins. "I'm sorry. You're right. I did come here to yell at you. To scream at you. I just-I thought-I only-" she stops and scoffs. "God, I don't even know what I'm doing anymore." We sit together for a few minutes. Or it could have been seconds. I didn't keep track.

Loona gasps lightly and sobs. She actually cares about me. She cares. She then sobs once again. "Damn it, I'm pathetic," she cries.

I pull away for a moment and she leans back in surprise. "Loona," I begin sternly placing a hand on her shoulder. "You are NOT pathetic. You are the strongest woman I know. You're hurting right now. Believe me, I understand what it's like. To feel inadequate. Weak." She wipes her eyes on the back of her paw.

I sigh. "There's something I want to tell you. It's a saying I've learned from someone important to me." Loona looks at me with genuine curiosity. She then nods her head to continue. So I do.

"We tell ourselves we have moved on from terrible things. That we need to block it out. But that's not true. The only way to move on? Is to accept that these things have happened and to realize that, even if it's not ok...our past doesn't define us. What we do now? Our choices and paths? Does."

Loona smiles and looks down. Even though she's smiling, I can tell she's still upset. What do I do? I decide to ask her what's wrong. "What happened? If you're ok with telling me."

She sighs. "Vortex. He already has a girlfriend. On top of that, Blitzo is always on my ass! And just because he adopted me! To make matters worse, he ruined my distraction to get you out of your hypnotic state!" She growls after the explanation.

Before I know what I'm even doing, I move my hand from her shoulder to her face. "Hey," I say and she looks directly into my eyes. "It's going to be ok Loona. Trust me."

I stare into her eyes. They're red, much like the other demons. But for some reason, her eyes feel different. Almost comforting. Before either of us could say anything, she leans into me fast and presses her lips against mine.

My eyes widened and I resist the urge to gasp. I then close my eyes. Her tongue pushes in and parts my lips. We sit there, tongues meshing and sharing a passionate moment. She pulls away. Still smiling, she removes her short top and undoes her bra.

She pulls it off, revealing beautiful, though still furry, breasts. I gaze at them almost hypnotically before brushing it off and taking off my shirt. I stop for a moment. Loona tilts her head and gives me a concerned frown. "Hey. You ok?" She asks putting a hand on my face.

I smile. I look into her eyes. "I know it's too soon. But I love you Loona," I say. She grins and blushes. She leans in and our foreheads touch.

"I love you too Xandar," she replies as we kiss again. I hope this isn't a dream. And if it is? Don't let me wake up. Even though I'm in Hell and it's ironic to say. I feel as if I'm in Heaven.
