For weeks to come, it was the same thing every night. Work the club, schmooze the demons to gain audience and tips, leave to go home, get jumped by Crowley. It was never in the same place either. He had taken her in the alley way, public washrooms, if they were still in the club, he had no shame, taking her in the less used halls, behind the bar, and he didn't care if any of his demons saw, they didn't dare interrupt their king.
The sex was heated and raw, but Tevy knew there couldn't be emotion in any of it for Crowley. That was the only thing that scared her about any of it. Not how rough he was, or how she came out of every session with new cuts and bruises from him, but how there wasn't any way he would ever have feelings for her besides his prey. It scared her because she knew if she kept this up and let her guard down, she might start to fall for him.
'How fucked would that be…' She thought to herself, locking her door and walking out of her building. Tevy popped her glasses on her face and stuck her hands in the pockets of her spiky, patched black vest, walking down the street towards the park. Her mind wouldn't shut up. She hadn't been in touch with any angel in years. The only two she had ever even considered "family" were killed years before now. Gabriel and Balthazar. She missed them dreadfully. Having been cast down for disobedience and refusal to fight with the Garrison, Tevy was an outcast to all angels, but the two of them accepted her after they both assumed a life in hiding on Earth. The three of them leading a hedonistic lifestyle together for a few years before splitting up. She wished they hadn't, then maybe they wouldn't have met such an untimely demise…
Tevy sat beneath her favorite tree in front of the pond and drifted off into her mind as she watched the water….
Her mind immediately ventured into a favorite memory which took place the night Gabriel and Balthazar had found Tevy. The three of them cooped up in Balthazar's living room on a stormy night. She sat, curled up with a mug of hot chocolate in a recliner after they had found her out in the forest, broken and alone. The chair was facing a huge bay window looking out onto the forest.
"How long have you been down here on your own?" Balthazar asked as he began to towel dry her hair for her.
"I don't know…" Tevy sighed, "Forever?"
"She wasn't in heaven very long after her creation," Gabriel entered the room with a bottle of white wine and three glasses, walking over to Tevy and placing them on the coffee table. "Zachariah was so enraged that she wanted nothing to do with being a warrior for the Garrison or following any of his orders that he felt it was more necessary to burn off her wings and cast her down instead of simply taking her grace."
Tevy sighed as she presented what was left of her poor wings to them. All that was left was two stumps about 2 feet long with a joint in the middle, the skin was scarred from burning and the ends jagged as though her burning wings were broken off while in flames.
Balthazar poured her a glass of wine and took away her hot chocolate. "I think this calls for something a little stronger than hot cocoa." He said as he kneeled in front of her, putting his hands on her leg as she sipped at the wine. Gabriel followed him and looked up at her sympathetically. "What has happened to our heaven?" Balthazar sighed.
Tevy looked down at her 'brothers'. The feeling of family hadn't ever come over her when she thought of the Angels. Yet here were two of them, one of which an Archangel, both of them willing to stand by her and comfort her even if she hadn't ever done anything for heaven. She couldn't help but smile.
They both smiled back as both of their sets of wings appeared behind them, Gabriel's were massive and gold, almost shining in the darkness. Balthazar's were smaller and a beautiful shade of bluish grey. Tevy almost dropped her glass as she sat up slowly, almost entranced by the sight. They both knew how much she wished to see wings again by the look in her eyes. Gabriel took her glass as she reached out to touch both of their wings at once, one hand gently ran through Gabriel's feathers as the other caressed Balthazar's. The boys both inhaled sharply at the touch, making them grip her thighs tightly and slowly standing up. Balthazar walked himself over to a giant L shaped couch and sat in the corner, leaning back and spreading his legs as he unbuttoned his shirt looking at Tevy with beckoning eyes.
Tevy couldn't even react before Gabriel scooped her up as if she weighed nothing, carrying her over to the couch and placing her on her rump in between Balthazar's legs who immediately wrapped his arms around her and began kissing her neck, she turned her head and without a second thought their lips met and then parted, his tongue softly making his way in her mouth. Seconds later she felt Gabriel crawl over her and gently grab her chin, taking her away from his brother and looking into her eyes for a moment, smiling, before kissing her tenderly himself. Tevy moaned into Gabriel's lips as she felt Balthazar nip and kiss at her neck again as he reached forward and gripped her hand, holding it tight and Gabriel did the same with her other hand as he parted her lips with his tongue, the other hand holding her cheek and caressing it softly. Their wings had slowly curved inward and overlapped, creating a wall around them of angelic feathers. Tevy had never felt so safe in her entire life.
Silent tears began to roll down her face as she opened her eyes. She clutched her knees and buried her face in her arms as she wept, wishing desperately that she could go back. She would give anything to see them again. It was painfully obvious to Tevy that she was in fact alone now that they were gone. She looked up to the sky and wondered if she would ever share that bond with another angel again.
