(just a warning, i know this chapter sucks lmao i wrote it in the A.Ms so,,)
Leaves crunched and branches broke under Opals feet as she sprinted through the forest. just a few more kilometers before she reaches the next town.
She breathed heavily, her lungs and throat stung from the cold air, winter was now in full throttle, and its had begun snowing quite heavily. but why was Opal running so quickly with panicked breaths?
well, there was an angel and several police officers behind her. and she had little to no stealth, considering parts of her glowed in the dark.

flashback

"Hey, girl." a deep voice suddenly appeared behind Opal, "what are you doing so far from home?" he grinned under a mask.
Opal spun around, traveling a hunting path in the woods at sunset, theres no excuse she could think of for this.
as she turned she noticed the cops with him, 'I didn't even hear them approach!?'
The angel waisted no time, using his yellow magic to create an explosion, aimed at the ground, injuring Opals legs and destroying most of her pants, "Just as i thought!" he said, the smile clear in his tone.
he let off a smaller explosion at her torso, but she jumped into a tree, propelling herself with her tail.
"Hmm~ you're bound to get cold with your new shorts!"

With most of Opals clothes now in rags, she took to the trees once again, at least maybe the foliage would provide even a little cover for the time being.
Opal took off what little that was left of her sweater and ripped it, wrapping some around her arm, and some around her leg, effectively covering the markings.
she knows that angel see's her, he's just playing with her, but at least now she has a chance at stealth again, although the cold from only wearing a bra now would slow her down.
Then she had an idea.
she jumped down from the tree and put a defeated look on her face and she raised her arms, "I give up! I'm sorry i just... wanted to live peacefully."
"Oh? you filthy demons don't get that kind of choice! anyway, killing around ten people every day doesn't sound peaceful to me. but who knows! you demons are monsters after all!" the angel laughed.
he walked towards Opal, who still hung her head in defeat, "huh? you really are giving up? no fun! i thought you'd attack after i called you a monster!" he let out child like whines and he pulled out handcuffs, and the police moved in formation, surrounding them just in case.
when the angel got close enough, Opal turned, revealing a grin, "filthy, huh?" without giving the angel any time to react Opal burst into flame, instead of her normal blue ones, they burned a bright pink, and they were much hotter, knocking the angel down, and incinerating the nearby plant life along with the cops.
the angel barely survived, now covered in burns he was still determined to kill Opal. the flames died down, now only the trees around them burned.
before the angel could get back up Opal sprinted at him, and grabbed his face and arm, pinning down his other arm with her leg, and she shoved her knee into his stomach anytime he tried to move his legs.
"MY RACE IS FILTHY?" Opal screamed, her voice becoming deeper through magic she didn't understand, "MY RACE DOESN'T KILL HUNDREDS DAILY JUST FOR HAVING DAMNED HORNS! SO I HEAR YOU SAD FUCKS ARE MOVING ON TO BEASTMEN NOW EH? HAHAHAHAHA THATS SO FUNNY!! DEMONS ARE FILTHY, FILTHY, FILTHY, FILTHY!! I'LL CUT YOUR DAMNED HEAD O-" Opal passed out for over use of her magic, landing on the body of the angel.
