I thought I had gotten rid of you and then your stupid friends showed up." Kathleen spat hatefully as she eyed Andrew and Gloria angrily. They all turned in unison to face the demon and Andrew didn't waste any time in stepping between Kathleen and Monica protectively. But it was then that the angels realized they were not alone with the demon. There were others. Seconds later, they emerged from the darkness as well. There were two of them. One was another demon, Gregory. The angels had faced him before as well. But it was the third, which struck fear into every one of their hearts. It was the very one who did this to Monica in the first place. The one who created and maintained every last bit of evil on the planet. Satan himself stood there and he wasn't about to give up his pray so easily.
He said nothing, only moved over to where the angels were standing and, grasping Andrew painfully by the arm, he wrenched him away from his friends and held him harshly with his arm behind his back. "Gregory, restrain Gloria." He ordered in a voice so full of hate and evil that none of the angels dared to even breath in his presence. Before they knew what was happening, Gregory had restrained Gloria the same way the devil had Andrew and Kathleen moved toward Monica, who was still free, but so battered and bruised that she wouldn't have made it far if she had tried to run.
"Kathleen, finish the job." Satan commanded without much thought to the matter. It was clear that Kathleen felt near to nothing either, for she wasted no time in grasping Monica's wrist the same way. That done, she poised the point of the dagger she still had in hand over Monica's heart and prepared to do her duty. But Monica took a brief moment to say something before it happened.
"Kathleen, I just want you to know, no matter what you've done or felt, I will always love you. You were my greatest friend and, if this is what it comes to, then so be it. But just remember, you meant so much to me and I love you." She told her over her shoulder as Kathleen stood behind her with the arm clutching the dagger wrapped around to the angel's front. Kathleen pondered Monica's words for a brief moment but quickly pushed any feelings she had down and tensed the muscles in her arm around the dagger. But, as the words found their way back up to the demon's heart, she felt her arm relax again and her features became gentle. She couldn't do it now. Monica was her best friend too and she tried so hard to get Kathleen back after she left. She loved her.
When he realized what was taking place, Satan growled in frustration. "Ugh, Kathleen, you're pathetic. I'll do it myself." He vowed as he motioned for Gregory to switch with him and restrain Andrew. He wasn't too worried about Gloria being released. She was young and inexperienced, and didn't pose much of a threat.
Gregory grasped Andrew's wrist in his master's place as the devil moved over to wear Kathleen and Monica were standing. Giving Kathleen a violent shove away from them, he ordered her to get out of the way as he took her place. Clutching the dagger tightly, he tensed and readied himself. Monica braced herself but Andrew's urgent cries cut through the moment. "Monica! No!" He yelled at the top of his lungs as he struggled in Gregory's grasp, but to no avail. Satan gestured in Andrew's direction. "Silence him!" He commanded Gregory, who then pulled a dagger of his own from behind his back.
But Monica couldn't bear to see that. "No don't!" She screamed, suddenly freeing herself from the devil's iron hold and made a run for her friend. But, unfortunately, the evil one was faster as he spun around and plunged the dagger into her upper stomach.
