Demonic Redemption

Power Date

It was date night. Vlad picked Molly up and drove off to the heart of Pentagram City. The sky was a beautiful crimson red with dark purple clouds on the horizon. Then an explosion killed the silence. It was another turf war. The date plans had just changed. Vlad sped toward the explosion and pulled over. It was Sir Pentious and some lesser demon this time. He grinned. This was going to be fun. He jumped out of his car, armed and ready to jump into the fight. Molly sighed and pulled her favorite firearm out of her hip pocket. While she had been hoping for a nice night out, she wasn't one to miss out on some real fun. She jumped out of the car and onto Vlad's shoulders, firing the first round. Vlad grinned and held her steady as she fired more bullets. Although very surprised, Sir Pentious appreciated the assistance and soon the odds were in his favor. Molly had a few explosives, a gift from Cherri Bomb, and tossed them. The lesser demon's minions scattered. Vlad laughed. While not the date he had had in mind for tonight, this was definitely more entertaining. Vlad raced off with Molly. They laughed and agreed that they should do this more often. But for now, it was time to grab a bite to eat. Instead of some restaurant, they settled on a café with live music. At least it would be less crowded and they wouldn't have to wait as long for food.

After eating they took a stroll along one of the few beaches in Hell. Of course, they had to sneak in because it was after hours, but whatever. It was a calm evening. Molly picked up a few seashells and tucked them into her bag. Vlad had already noticed the seashell necklace she was wearing and made a note to himself to get her a bracelet to match. He wasn't an expert at shopping, meaning it was time to enlist some help. For now, he took her hand and played it cool. She smiled and locked his arm with hers as they continued down the beach. Vlad grinned. Things hadn't exactly gone well for him in like. But here in Hell, things were finally turning around.
