Chapter 1:Moonstone
The streets of the Greed ring is one of the many horrible places to end up in hell but this was the best location for a girl like Sugar to do business. She felt no fear and no nervousness. Her tail flicked as she waited for her target to arrive. The various demons walking along the streets took notice of her but she couldn't tell if they were suspicious of her or curious about her. A normal reaction to here presence in this town. Creatures like Sugar weren't common in this town. She flashy silver tank top and black mini skirt contrasted white the various reptile-like demons in suits and long dresses. As much as she disliked being this noticeable, that was the goal. She needed her client to easily be able to recognize her.
"Are you ?"
A imp in a white suit approached her with a huge grin on his face. He looked at her carefully and cautiously. The imp looked at least 30 years old and had a large scar across his neck. His short white hair looked ratty and messy like it hasn't been combed in days. He was a bit sweaty and out of breath. "It's Tristen. I made a call earlier requesting you."
"Just call me Sugar. was my mom." She smiles and approaches Tristen. Her white and bat-like wings fluttered slightly as she moved closer to him.
Tristen laughs "Oh yeah. Your ad called you Sugar baby the hybrid. My mistake. You're a lot cuter in person."
Sugar slightly winced after the mention of that ad. He hated being called that and wished she had protested more about it. Despite this, she forces herself to smile and playful stroke Tristen's arm. "That's right, cash first then we can get started"
Tristen fumbled around in his wallet and had handed her a bunch of crumbed up dollar bills that added up five hundred "Let's see if I'm willing to pay an extra hour"
She counted the money and gently stuffed it into her purse. She was irritated by the wrinkly and worn out look of the dollars because it made her feel like a cheap stripper but she gritted her teeth and accepted it. She had a bad history of her attitude ruining her appeal to her clients so she tried to be as polite as possible. Because tonight wasn't a normal job. She just had to be patient.
"Mister. I'll give a once in a lifetime experience. I promise. Where are you gonna take me? Not many places to have fun in this side of town . You didn't specify where you wanted to go when I scheduled you."
"I'm not interested in that fake date crap.I rather spend my hour in other ways. I'm the type of guy that likes things direct and straight to the point." Tristan kissed Sugar's hand and then started to drag her down the street.
She felt an overwhelming feeling of anxiousness. There were so many ways this could go wrong. This man could kill her and nobody would even notice she was gone. No one would mourn her. Her soul assimilated into the environment of hell without a trace of her. As she felt the tight and rough grip of Tristan's hand, her tail twitched rapidly. This plan had to work and she tried to keep faith that it would.
The two demons arrived at a park lot the had no more than ten cars spread out across it. The ground was littered with beer cans and plastic wrapper. The area felt cold and isolated.
"This is my car. Ya like?"
Tristen grinned as he pulled her towards his sliver Studebaker commander. It looked rusted and the paint was clearly chipping on all sides. There was a bit of dried brown stuff on the wheels. Sugar clearly did not like it.
"What are you waiting for? Get in. We're starting right here." He shoved her in the back seat of the car the pounced next to her.
Sugar laid back against the brown leather seat and chuckles "Careful. I can't afford any damage to my body. I can see why you paid for my services if you're this rough and impatient with women ."
Tristen looks her up and down then laughs "You're kinda snobby for whore. It makes this a lot more fun"
He pins her down by her shoulder hard and kisses her forcefully. As he did this, sugar glanced out the window.
A group of seven shark demons and one female impwere hiding behind the Cadillac next to them. Between the group was an elder imp with a black hat and large striped horns. Sugar smiled and was relieved at the sight of the elder imp. It was her boss, Crimson Knolastname.
Crimson stood between the group of sharks smiling. By his side was his right hand man Alessio and six other men.
"Looks like our little doll was a good bait after all. She ain't as useless as I thought she'd be"
Crimson took out his rifle and set it on top of the car. His thumb was on the trigger and smirked. It's been a while since he's had an easy target like this and he was itching for an opportunity to show off.
"How's it looking Cherry?" Crimson glance over and the female imp next to him and laughs "Does Sugar have that idiot completely captivated?"
The female imp who is referred to as Cherry sighs. She pushed his pushed her short white hair out of face and looked in the direction of where Sugar and Tristan where located. She spoke softly in a thick southern accent. "It's lookin good. That gurl is definitely experienced." She looks down at Crimson's rife and where he was pointing "Boss, your aim is off."
"Shut up. I got this.I'm the boss here. That means get the finishing blow." Crimson snarls and continues to stare at Sugar. He wanted to make certain he didn't hit her, he waited a bit for the perfect moment.
"Boss you got a clear shot. Just shoot." Alessio pats Crimson on the back as a sign of encouragement. But this only made Crimson more anxious.
"Fuck off I'm tryin to focus" Crimson's tail flicks because of his annoyance.
A shark demon with white tip fin and claws named Leo spoke up "Move the gun to the side a bit. It'll make in easier on ya"
"Holy Satan! Will you idiots shut the fuck up!" Crimson ready himself to take the shot. A bit of sweat drips down his face. He breathes heavily as her anxiously waits for her to get a signal.
Sugar started to struggle to move Tristen off her. He had his entire body around her. His long and thick vermilion tail was wrapped around her waist as he kissed her. It was a suffocating and crushing feeling. She couldn't take it anymore. She wanted this guy dead. Sugar gently lifted the sharp heel of her sliver boots between his legs. It painfully poked him like a knife. The pain caused Tristan to back up and hold his crotch in agony.
Tristan growled "You bitch-"
Suddenly a bullet flew past both Tristan and Sugar. This caused Tristan to turn around. His face turned a more intense shade of red. His bright yellow eyes began to glow.
He laughed "Ah, The Knolastname family. Let me guess, you're the honey pot?"
Sugar wings began to flutter "Shit. So close."
Tristan grabbed her tightly by her arm as he dragged her out to the car towards the Knolastname gang members who all have guns out.
Tristan held a gun to Sugar's head and smirked at Crimson. "Ya almost got me there Crim. Are ya finally going blind old man?"
Crimson scoffs while the demons behind him pull out their pistols. "I'm just as functional as I've always been. Just accept your death quietly."
As Crimson and Tristan bantered with each other, Sugar was racking her brain on how to get out of Tristan's grasp. She breathed heavily as she felt the cold metal against her head and the tight grip on her arm. She began to feel a sense of impatience and irritation. Why isn't anyone shooting? Are they seriously holding back because of her? These thoughts only seem to frustrate her. If Crimson wouldn't hurry up and kill this asshole, she would. She remembered she had eyebrow shaping scissors in her black, heart shaped,crossbody bag. While everyone was distracted, she grabbed the scissors with her tail and stabbed Tristan in the side. This caused him to drop the gun and stumble to the ground. The gang rapidly shot him in the chest twenty times. Causing sugar clothes to get covered in his blood.
"Sugar Cookie, Get your ass over here." Crimson smiles as Sugar skips towards him. "Ah, my girl. Good quick thinking."
Sugar shivers as she looks down at the body of the clearly dead body of Tristan. She looked up at crimson and the rest of the gang with an expression of annoyance "My clothes! Couldn't you idiots at least wait a few minutes to move away from the body but turning him into Swiss cheese."
Everyone starts laughing at her as Crimson pushes her into the passenger seat of his car. He gave her and kiss on the cheek and stroked her wings.
"Welcome to the family sweetheart"
