"Ozzy"

'Mirani thinking'

'Belial Thinking'

'Ozzy thinking'

Later that night

"Having a rough nigh Baby doll... I bet I can make it better" Ozzy Laughed and wrapped his arms around her, "Have you been kissed by another man? Don't worry I know the whole story. He came to me first, it was punishment... but not for what you think" he placed his lips on her neck, kissing her. He was talking really fast and she wasn't in the mood to talk. Ozzy picked her up and carried her to his room, he was lucky he had as nice of sheets as Lucifer did, but his were red. "Leave me alone... You stood me up today... you weren't even there to help me when I needed help... Ozzy you can't do this to me!" Mirani growled and pushed herself away from him, she backed herself into his bed. "Baby doll, it was on Belial's orders I didn't help you. And Lucifer insisted that I don't interfere." He advanced on her since she had nowhere to go; she moved to the side, he was going to back her into the corner.

Mirani took a step back from him as he reached out, she took another step back and hit a wall, Both his hands shot for her, she flinched but the hands never touched her. The hands were rested on either side of her, pinning her in so she couldn't move. "Now you listen, I had nothing to do with the things that happened today I don't need your anger and if you are going to bitch at me I will do something about it..." He moved his face about an inch from hers and touched his forehead to hers, he whispered "I love you so much, don't push me away"

Mirani slipped out from his arms and walked over to the bed. She laid down in it and closed her eyes enjoying the softness of the sheets. Ozzy moved over to her and tucked the sheets around her; he sat on the bed next to her and stroked her cheek for a second.

"Baby doll you just rest, its been a long day and I understand what you are going through."

Belial was watching from the cracked doorway 'so she fights him as well' he pushed open the door and silently slipped in. Ozzy looked up and put a finger to his lips; he stood and walked over to him "You did a number on her Belial..." Ozzy whispered, "she isn't used to me and my punishments, at least not this one." Belial whispered right back and took Ozzy out of the room with him "Is she angry with you?"

"Angry with everyone it seems, I think she is used to being protected by people..."

"People?"

"Yeah like Raphael and Arion..."

"Oh them, well Raphael protects her from Rosiel, Arion protects her from everything and everyone..."

'That's the point... Ya'll tell me to keep out of it so I kept out of it... I think she expects it."

"Well she needs to learn how to protect herself... Soon not even I will be able to make her flinch... This is a good thing because she has been treated like a child all her life all she knows how to do is be protected."

"Trying to model her perfect for Lucifer aren't you?"

"Of course, we did the same with you didn't we?"

"Yes but, she is different"

"Only in your eyes it seems"

"I don't really know what I am anymore... I was once faithful to him. Now it's like I am nothing. She is well liked, I am disliked. Ya'll did this to me on purpose I bet you knew what would happen in bringing her here."

"Yes I did... and I did expect you to fall head over heels for her the moment you laid eyes on her. She is simply a companion for Lucifer, you are merely his follower"

'Merely his follower, before I was his companion. I remember them telling me that I was too keep Lucifer company, time with him really changed me.' "Oh... I should have realized that when she got here..."

"No we didn't quite figure it out what we were going to do with Mirani till about a week ago, but it wouldn't matter what she was now. To you she could be the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. To me she is like an awkward pet and To Lucifer we will make her into the most loyal companion there is, but not one that will flinch at the wave of a hand."

"She flinches easily, I can hardly move my hands when she gets cornered... I think she has spent too much time with that Rosiel... I heard he was lurking somewhere around here searching for her, I went looking for him but all I found was White feathers. But Raphael is doing his part in heaven to keep him away, I sent Arion to tell Raphael."

"Very good, the only thing we can do about him is just watch out; I told her he isn't worth her time. She was too focused on pleasing him when I first met her. And A trip back to heaven would damage what we are trying to do, the last step and the hardest teaching her not to fear."

"She will learn quickly I can see her willingness to learn and the way she listens is almost making me jealous of her."

"Because she gets the attention and you are left in the shadows..."

"She is near I saw that slimy fallen Ozzy when he was looking for me the other day, all I need to do to find her is to get to him." Rosiel laughed and pulled his cloak over his face hiding himself from the view of others. Katan came into view he was running "Lord Rosiel we have her Location but she is heavily guarded by everything it seems..." he put his hands on his knees he was panting from his run. "Well then we will have to draw her out into the open, wont we Katan?"

"You aren't going to feed her your chip are you, Lord Rosiel?"

"Of course not, she isn't special enough to get my chip; she will suffer a great deal before I do anything to relieve it." Rosiel smiled, a thought of her in pain was enough to send a smirk to his lips...

"Uh-huh now when I think Ya'll are angry with me I'm supposed to think of that person as something I am not afraid of. So Instead of flinching I face my enemy head on. You just met your worst nightmare." Mirani doubled over laughing; she found that new task funny. "I'm going to think of something funny when that happens. Ya'll can just deal with my laughter at the same time."

"And Mirani there has been a sighting of Rosiel in this area... You know he will do anything to get you back"

"Aye Belial, I think I know that much... I saw him from Ozzy's window. He prowls like a tigress stalking her prey. And Katan is always right behind him, silly me they kinda look like a bunch of monkeys... I wonder if I threw a Banana at them, would they leave?"

"This isn't a joke Mirani, this is serious!"

"Well its Amusing to me, Leave me be!" She ran out of the room and down the hall

'Oh boy is this going to be hard... she is going to go looking for him we wont be there to stop her from getting hurt and imprisoned again... Better go talk to Lucifer about putting a leash on her'

"Lucifer, I need to ask a question about Mirani" Belial knocked on the door. "Yes, what is it." The door opened for Belial to step in. "She is going to get herself seriously hurt or even killed now that Rosiel is stalking our grounds"

"Well then get the army to drive Rosiel away and keep her locked up"

"The army is all on vacation it seems and they wont be back in time to help us with our little trouble maker. And she seems to be the master escape artist with her steel toed boots and Magic keys... The damn girl keeps them down her shirt I know they are there but I'm not taking them from her."

"Have Ozzy take her keys and we can always deal with her boots when the time comes" Lucifer sighed and ran his hand through his black hair. "Ozzy wouldn't think much of sticking his hand down her shirt would he, sire?"

"Of course not that's why he is perfect for the job, Now go I would rather be alone right now" Lucifer Pushed him out and shut the door behind him.

"Hey what are you doing... Me take off my boots! NEVER IN MY LIFE!"

"Now or I will force them off your feet" Belial ordered as Mirani groaned and mumbled something no one could understand. She sat down and unlaced her boots, then undid the straps and clips and then slid them off her feet revealing two large Blades. "My god woman do you fight as well?"

"Oh I forgot where I put these... erk..."

"Do you have anymore?" Belial took clips and pins out of her hair, and undid her necklace of keys. He put all of that in his pocket, "Take off your trench coat and give it to me"

"Okay?" She removed her trench coat showing blades strapped to either arm... she grinned "I can explain, I was in wars and I got into the habit of hiding my weaponry. And I like to hide my blades in weird spots but easy to reach spots..." She took the blades that were strapped to her thighs and placed them with her other blades. "Well does this mean I can't have my boots back?"

"No you can't but you can stay in this room till we can get Rosiel off the grounds."

Mirani walked to the window and looked out "Gee, kinda feels like a prison"

"It's only for a little while..."

"See her up in the tower, Katan?" Rosiel pointed to Mirani who was sitting on the window ledge. "Yes, Lord Rosiel I see her."

"Go get her for me, bring her down here" Rosiel smiled, he was getting his way and there was no one to stop him. "Aye, Lord Rosiel" Katan spread wings and flew up to Mirani's window, "Hey 'Rani why so down?" He called to her; she looked at him eyes wide. "Katan what are you doing, you know that god forbids angels to come here"

"Well we came for you... Lord Rosiel and I would like you to come back to Heaven"

"I'm a fallen angel I'm banned from Heaven, remember? And Anyways I rather like it down here, Go tell him to kiss his own ass, I ain't going to be the one to kiss it" Mirani got off the window ledge and walked to the door and took her hair pin out of her hidden pocket and started to work on opening the door. "Mirani it would mean a lot to us if you came with me..."

"Belial won't like it..." Mirani heard a click and the lock opened she stuck the hair pin back in its place; she felt a hand grab her shoulder. "I know you don't like him but maybe you could give him a small chance, for me?" Katan was persistent about her coming with him. 'I could do it for Katan, its not like Rosiel could hurt me anymore than he already has and I am growing up faster than they both would have guessed. I will try I must not let my thoughts betray me that is all' Mirani's black wings emerged from her back and she pushed Katan out. "This is only for you so don't get your hopes up, Pretty boy" she looked back at the door which was now open and sighed... Belial would worry if she was missing too long... Maybe a tad bit angry. She jumped and soared to Rosiel, "you know that I am not here for you... and I will leave any time I want"

"That is fine..." Rosiel glared at her though his words were sweet. "You do not make the rules; you did not serve your punishment fully either. By the way you do have lovely wings; it would be a shame for you to loose them. Again," He watched Mirani step down onto the ground in her bare feet. "You aren't thinking about doing something that Vile are you, Rosiel?"

"Its Lord Rosiel to you"

"That's what you think... I serve only one and he is waiting for me"

"Who might that be, Mirani?"

"Belial"

"Oh him well he can wait" Rosiel growled... Mirani's eyes lighted up she started to giggle quietly. "You can wait too... I just wanted out of that room"

"So they lock you up too, do they?"

"No It wasn't locked I was just in there to think"

"Who are you fooling Mirani, Me or yourself?"

"Well at least I'm not the one in love with my sister... Oh I understand Alexiel is beautiful but she chose us, not you." Mirani took a couple steps back to avoid Rosiel's right hand that made a grab for her. "What happened to the Innocent little angel who would do anything for me?" he growled "She disappeared a year ago when I learned there are better things in life than serving losers. I wouldn't serve you even if you bribed me with everything I like. You lost me when you ripped my wings from my body, go pleasure yourself with someone other than me for a change, I am not a child anymore and I demand to be treated better by everyone!" Mirani spread her wings and shot off into the Sheol sky. She landed on her window sill just to be face to face with Belial... "Oopsies, eh heh..." She stepped onto the floor and bowed. "Just taking care of some business"

"I know I could hear your yelling. But you know he isn't going to leave, He is going to only try harder to win your stubborn body back."

"Bring him on..." Mirani Laughed, Belial looked at her and sighed "If you ever do get taken by them, Look for Karin and you will find me. I advise you to stay away from windows for a while."

Mirani pushed open Lucifer's door "Lucifer-sama are you alright, I haven't seen you for a long time"

'Did you ever hear of a thing called knocking?" He sighed and crossed his legs; he was resting on his bed "Oh, sorry Sire..." Mirani climbed onto his bed and sat next to him.

"I am fine Mirani; I was just resting... or something"

"I wrote a story... want to hear it?"

"Alright, It better be good though"

"It was 1789 when it happened.. Lestat had been drinking off of me for three nights. I was out of my mind with hunger and thirst, since it had been four days since i had last tasted a real meal. Gabrielle came to me the next night and pushed me against a wall... I was too tired to move anyhow so she had it easy.

She sunk her fangs deep into my neck and proceeded to turn me into a vampire. I got all my blood back plus some of hers... I don't know why though kinda like how you got a lot of the blood back too, Daniel

"Grew up in a small town
and when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of what could be
and if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)"

"Well she and Lestat sent me off to hunt every night... I taught myself how to do everything. On one of my Outings I came across "Theater Des Vampyres" I watched them do there plays Five nights in a row before Gabrielle finally came to me one night at the Theater... And asked me... 'Is this really what you want' I nodded, Armand let me stay and I joined in on the plays as the mortal woman Louis thought he saw killed"

"Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway"

Cathryn paused for a second then continued "When Louis Burned down the Theater I escaped with Armand on Gabrielle's wish 'I never be hurt' Louis Hated me for Escaping Even though I didn't help with his capture. Golden Brown hair and Green eyes would make anyone suspicious of whether they helped or not.

I made passage to America New Orleans was my home for along time then I went west to California... The Bright lights were blinding at first but I managed to get by. I lived in the out skirts of San Francisco, San Jose.

"I'll spread my wings And I'll learn how to fly

Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye,

I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway"

"It was Hard when Akasha came back because she seemed to like following me before she took Lestat... I should have died I don't know why I didn't. I was going to kill Lestat for what he was not because I hated him... which I did. I didn't go to the meeting, I just Listened and Watched From afar... The thing was I agreed with everything Maharet had to say. You were younger then But I knew of Akasha and I ran from her each time she came near... I nearly fell from my Hiding place when she showed up. She only glanced in the silent way she had always done. I was scared for everyone in there... Gabrielle the most... 'But they had been spared once haven't they will you save them again like you have me?' I silently asked her... I think she heard, because she turned and looked at the others inside the house."

"How was it sire?"

"It was great, are you going to add more?"

"Yep..."

Note: Yes I did use Anne Rice characters in that fake story, It isn't real so I shouldn't get into trouble. Thank you again.
