Return of the Angels

The silence was pleasant, not like hearing screams of men and woman being tortured down in that prison. Down in that thick heavy darkness is where it shall all remain, but the memories of hearing the screams from both man and woman would always be with him. The curses, the grunts of men raping the females, everything… none of it would ever be forgotten. But this silence was bliss, was all he could have dreamt for in that nightmare. But would sleep ever get to him down in that shit hole? No it wouldn't. He would always be awoken by those screams that tortured him.

You're silent…

Ah, Raven, you're on talking terms with me then?

Nothing else to do in this prison you put me in.

Zariel winced. Yeah he hated being imprisoned and hearing all the torture going on around him, but now that he could do it to others? It certainly didn't appeal well with him.

Sorry about this, but I need a body and you were the perfect one.

Why mine?

Because you want exactly what I want!

Which is what?

Figure it out yourself. That'll give you something to do behind those bars.

Asshole… and then he went silent.

"And you talk to the asshole… hmm… yeah that works…" he said and then shook his head.

He had managed to get some rest and since the waterfall and driven him into a peaceful sleep, he had awoken with a nightmare on his brain. Yeah that really helps him with his nights. He didn't want to become sleepless again. He hated having insomnia, he suffers from it enough. His gaze was on the blue ceiling, it was like the sky in a weird way, without the clouds obstructing it. He'd love to lie down underneath and just watch the clouds float by like big white boats of cotton candy. But if he ventured out into the open, he was sure he would be captured. They were on the lookout for him, so why risk being captured when he has a re-enact of the sky above him?

"Ah, this is bollocks…" he said and sat up.

"Well, surprise, surprise. Fancy seeing you here." He turned towards the voice and glowered at the girl sitting on the rock.

"Do I even know you?" he was going to play as Raven in this little scene.

"Don't be daft, of course you know me!" She quirked an eyebrow up and then laughed. "You've actually done it. You've possessed a human being." She was laughing so hard she nearly fell off the rock in her fit. Now he wished he launched a stone at her to knock her off. "Look, Zariel, you can play me as a fool all you want, but I know who's in control of that body."

"Oh, shut up, Sin." He growled.

"If you're going to pass as human in that body," she licked her lips, "then at least use the actual voice the body belongs to."

"Fuck that!"

"Language mister!" she scolded.

"It's English bitch."

"Oh is it? I thought it was German." She rolled her eyes. "Now then, I'm going to ask and you'd better answer correctly. What the hell are you doing here?"

"Gazing at the fake sky." He said and lied down on his back.

"Well, I've seen lies bigger than that, but whatever." She jumped off the rock and towered over him. She gazed up at the ceiling and raised an eyebrow and then looked down at him. He raised an eyebrow with a smirk on his borrowed body's face. "Okay, you weren't joking, but seriously what are you doing here?"

"I've already answered that question. Now come back some other time because you've ran out of free questions."

"I'm being serious, Zariel, what are you doing here?"

He pushed himself off the ground, bent one knee and rested his arm on it. His gaze was fixated out in the distance. "She knew…"

"She knew what you are?" he shook his head. "She knew you had possessed the body?" his silence was answer enough. "You messed up big time and that's going to cost."

"I don't need you to lecture me and I know the consequences."

"But do you know the rules?"

"Of course I know the damn rules! Keep at a distance from her…"

"And…?"

"If I reveal all of it now it'll ruin the story." He said pointing to the off screen audience.

She huffed. "Oh shut up smart-ass." She sat on her butt beside him. "How are we going to proceed?"

"We wait…"

"In this cave?" he nodded. "Just watching the waterfall?" again he nodded. "And being completely and totally bored that eventually we'll go crazy?"

"We're going to have to do something about that…"

"Damn right, I'm not staying here if you're going to be lazy and boring."

"How many…?"

"Not enough…"

"How many?" he repeated.

"Fifteen, and like I said, not enough!" she nearly snapped at him.

"Seriously, Sin, knock off your attitude because I've already got one of those caged up."

"You're going to cage me up next?" she said raising an eyebrow.

"If you really wind me up and then it's definitely going to happen."

"So what exactly happened when you met her?"

"I lost control…"

"You lost control…?" she said questioningly and he nodded. "With what…? Anger…?"

"Lust…"

"You were going to force it on her?"

"You know I have troubles with my lust, so shut up."

"You're like an incubus, always wanting sex every day of your damn life."

"And don't forget three or four times a day."

"You're gross, seriously. You try anything like that with me and I'm going to snap your cock off."

"Thanks for the pre-warning, now if you'll excuse me, I'm thinking."

"I'd like to see how that turns out for you." He glowered at her and she put her hands up in surrender. "Okay, I'm shutting up."

"That's not shutting up."

"If you stop talking to let me shut up, then I'll shut up."

"Bitch…"

"Asshole…"

"And another one, I guess that'll be my new name now."

I guess everyone just agrees you are an asshole.

Shut it you, before I make sure you're unable to speak in that prison.

Asshole… although it was muttered, Zariel was able to have heard it.

There were fifteen of them, besides Sin and himself making seventeen, but that was not enough. What could fifteen do? Not much really, they would barely damage anything. He'd have to wait and see to estimate their power combined. But really, fifteen…? Was that it? He's underestimated their thinking. They're idiots. If they think that seventeen of them would be able to actually do something, they must have lost their minds already. They were old, like really, really, really old. Maybe the age has deteriorated their minds use. Well he surely couldn't rely on them if they were only sending fifteen of them, plus Sin making sixteen. Least he had the load of and knew what was happening around here. He had been on this planet for years, just waiting patiently in a torturous darkness.

He looked over at Sin. She really was sin in its purest form. She's deadly, dangerous and gorgeous, but he can mess her about as much as he wants and she won't be able to do a thing. Her hair is ebony black and it flowed down to her waist. Those emerald eyes are piercing and sharp, never really missing much when she examines things. She's a great tracker, hunter and killer. That's why she's a warrior, anything less or more and she'd be angry and displeased. She'd want someone's head on a stick if that happened.

Compared to him, she's great. He was just the… asshole of the operations. He does a lot and gets little credit. Just a lackey, commonly referred to by those that are in charge! Like he cares! It just so means that he has able to do anything and get away with it. As long as it wasn't something crazily stupid that would seriously get him into a heap load of shit. When that happens, he'd be punished twice. One by those in charge and the second by Sin! She's like his sister by looking out for him, scolding him when he's done something wrong and even making sure he's at least responsible.

"Zariel…" he realized he had been staring at her for two long. But her emerald eyes were not concerned about that. "What if it doesn't work out?"

"It will," he reassured her. "Just because the odds are against us doesn't mean anything. As long as we keep monitoring our enemy, we'll do fine."

She nodded. "Let's just do what we do best."

He nodded in agreement. "Does that include what I do best?"

"No it doesn't, Zariel, no it certainly does not." She said with a smile. "But perhaps another time you can satisfy you're achy needs."

"Don't put it in my head." He said with silent growl.

She chuckled. "Alright, I'll try and lay off you. Can't guarantee." She said with a cheeky grin.

He sighed. "What a bitch…"

"Yup!" she agreed.
