CHAPTER ONE
Feathery black wings came off my back while permanent purple tears fell just beneath my eyes... a shameful creature I had become... nothing more than a foul demon meant to perish in the pits of Hell and for what? I was promised a life in Heaven, but my mind corrupted me and turned my pure heart into nothing more than a black void and for that I hated myself for.
"Axel? Are you alright?" asked a far too deep and attractive voice to belong to anything humanoid. My eyes shifted to see a man decked out a black suit, longish hair with bangs pushed off to the side. If I hadn't a clue who he was, I would be drooling over myself at how insanely sexy he was.
"A demon is never by and by, alright as you put it so easily, Lucifer" I informed him. He put on a charming smile before placing his hands on my shoulders informing "We have a situation, so if you could lay off the cock, that would be great." He shoved a piece of paper on my chest before leaving in a burst of fire, nearly burning one of my wings. I mumbled to myself "Fucking dipshit." I then glanced at the paper and read the address I was supposed to be at so I could guide another soul to Hell. I crinkled the paper and shoved it in my pocket before flying off to the house. When I landed, I glanced into the window to see a girl with black hair coughing up blood and I felt bad for her but worse for her parents. I read the paper out loud "Screamer, doesn't behave, ill mannered, drowned pet dog in the tub, eee, Fuck. Xion Mints, you are a naughty, naughty little girl." Soon enough, she collapsed on the floor and a black mass floated out of her body looking scared and timid. I snapped my fingers and entered the house and stood near the stairs with a smile on my face. I gestured with my finger for her to come towards me and she obeyed. In a snap of my fingers, we were back outside and I dusted the blackness off of her and held up her chin. I commented "My, my, you're a cutie."
"And who are you? You cock sucking whore?!"
"A sixteen year old with quite the mouth on her. I'll tell you what, Xion, you don't cock me off and I won't cock you off, deal?" I smiled deviously and extended my hand to her. Though she glared at me before shaking my hand. I then added "I'm Axel. Got it memorized?"
"Sure, why the hell not?" she mentioned and I smirked.
"That's where you're going too," I mentioned and she seemed shocked. I snapped my fingers and we were back in Hell where Lucifer was adjusting something on one of the many torture devices held specifically in this room. I called out "Lucy!" He turned to me and I shoved Xion towards him informing "Here's your precious puppet."
"Good, I want you to be her trainer," he instructed and my jaw dropped. He had to be kidding me, right? I asked monotone, "You serious? Me? Axel Harley Taylor? The demon you use as a fucking toy?! You want me to train the new chick?" He gestured to the wall of hideous devices mentioning, "Unless you want some trips along the wall." I folded my arms saying, "Fuckin fine... I'll do it. No need to get all pissy." I flew up in the air and hovered a bit mentioning "I need some fresh air, tell me when I'm needed!" I flew off back to the surface of Earth and sighed reaching an old barn I always stayed in. Though, there a different smell in the air, there was something repulsive about it and yet it drew me in closer. I heard talking inside and I stood by the cracked window and listened. A deep, soothing voice insulted, "Then you were an idiot and a liar!" I thought to myself, "Sheesh, what's gotten into him?" The other voice pleaded "Please! Please! Let me go! I can't go to Hell!"
"NO?! I can already smell one of the beasts here for your pick up!"
"Don't make me go!"
"Get inside the fucking light before I change my mind again!" yelled the man before a flash of light nearly blinded me. I had to glace away, but I still heard the conversation inside starting with the terrified man, "This is what I wanted all my life. To see God." That was an angel inside there?! I've never heard of a foul-mouthed angel. I had figured all of them were nothing except good and light and boredom. When I realized the light was gone, I stood, glancing inside for a moment before I went and opened the doors wide, making a grand entrance remaking, "Such strong, hate filled words for an angel. Wouldn't you say? I've heard demons with less foul mouths than you have." The angel's wings were pure white while his hair was a sky blue. His eyes beaming gold and an X shaped scar on his face. He growled to me, "Foul, shitty thing you are. Why have you come here?"
"I use this barn as a get away from all the drama in Hell, for a few hours anyways. Why have you come here? Or was it just for a pick up?" I asked as I flew up to the loft and perched myself there. The angel grunted explaining, "Some lunatic that had a dream to become an angel decided he would castrate himself... and ripped open his back so he'd have wings... he was also a murderer though. But apparently Hell doesn't take men with no balls." My eyes widened, damn he sounded out of his mind, why didn't we take him? That sounded no less pure than me besides him having no testicles. I put in, "Hell is one big gay for all, no one's straight down there, I swear. But, no one is committed either and everyone's just a little fucked up in the brain. Fuck, even Lucy and I have fucked each other... that wasn't something I had intended. I was drunk and so was he."
"Hell is bunch of animals who can't stop masturbating for five seconds to realize there's pure in the world," he mentioned. Well, I was a victim of that too. I then decided to introduce myself, "I'm Axel, got it memorized?"
"And the moment I say my name to a demon, you can throw me down there with you!" he yelled, but I smirked and stated, "Oh, you are a cunning one. You don't have to, we demons extract information from the minds, we just need ten seconds of anyone's time to stare into their eyes and soul and we can know they entire life's story and that includes an angel's." He growled "Well good thing I'll never let you stare at my eyes for more than three seconds so send your hopes and dreams in a flaming pit. Good day, you vermin!" He flung open the doors and left and I had to admit, it was the first time I ever talked with an angel before and damn, I felt like I was talking with a demon, he was feisty and something about that intrigued me. I wondered if I'd be able to find him again. Well, I had his scent so that's all I needed. I sighed and flew down to his suspended corpse and just as the angel had said, cut open his back and hung himself on the loft. Crazy fucker. I then checked inside his pants and he was right there too, no balls.
"What kind of loony would even do such a thing to himself?" I thought out loud. I sighed and let it go before I too exited the barn and smelt the air and nothing caught my attention so I decided to head back to Hell since apparently now I had some bitch who needed training. I created a portal to Hell and upon getting back, Lucifer was glancing to me, as if I did something wrong. I asked, strutting up to him, "How can I help you, Lucy?" He rolled his eyes before informing, "Room ten fourteen down the west wing is her room. You know the basics." He glanced away from me and informed, "I have business I need to attend to. I'll see you later, Axel." I nodded and watched him leave to the surface before making my way through Hell and down the hall I was told to go down. When I got to the room, I knocked and asked, "Xion? You in there?"
"Not sure why I wouldn't be!" she called back and I smirked before opening the door. She was sitting on the bed, now in a black dress instead of the clothes she died in. I leaned against the wall and asked, "Need to talk?" She shrugged as she sat with her legs against her chest. Though, she sighed, admitting, "I never though Hell really existed so I guess I'm… confused? Something, I don't know. It's just weird…"
"Well, yes. Weird is one way to put it," I replied.
"Never thought I'd get such a welcome to Hell either. I knew I was bad child, but…" her voice trailed off and I sighed. Oh, Hell, one of these cases. I explained, "Disrespect to your parents as you did is worthy of Hell and to think it's not is blasphemy. You didn't murder anyone, but your rage is what gained you a spot down here." She sighed and shrugged, admitting, "Just fuck off for now, Axel. Give me some time to think."
"So be it," I told her leaving the room and heading to my own. Fine, it's not like I wanted to talk much either.
