There's a demon inside.

Chapter 10- Earth

"Why are we here?" 

"Because I'm bored and tired of waiting for Chris. So, Ryan, what do you want to do?" He thought for a few minutes before shaking his head. "We should go to the church, for old times sake." 

"I'm not sure that's a good idea, I mean if the priests know what we are then they'll try to kill us." I laughed and shook my head, cracking my knuckles in anticipation. Ryan looked at me and sighed. 

"Listen, if they try to touch us then I'll kill them. I'm not in the mood to deal with petty humans right now." I said, walking in the direction of the church. I knew they'd realize that we were demons, and I didn't care. 

When we got to the church and walked in, the new priests were there. At least, two of them were new. The third one's bright blue eyes seemed to gleam whilst the white wings behind his back seemed to tense up as we walked in. 

"Angelo." Ryan said softly, swallowing as he saw his old friend. I stared at Angelo and rage filled my veins. He was the reason Chris was being so horrid to me, why he didn't care about me. The lit candles burst into flames as he walked towards me. 

"Ricky, Ryan. I've missed you guys." Angelo had a pure smile on his face as he walked towards us. "Kellin, Mikey, leave us." The two guys nodded and left us alone. Ryan walked closer to Angelo whilst I stood there with my hands clenched into fists. How could he miss me, he'd never met me?

My confusion just added to the burning rage inside.

"What happened? I-I thought you died!" Ryan shouted, clearly rage had started to take over his relief at seeing him again. 

"No, the Archangels had a different plan. They changed me back into a human before turning me into an angel. The impurity I had was corrupting me and turning me insane, I wasn't supposed to become a demon. Similar to Ricky, he was supposed to become a demon." 

"Chris can't know tha-" 

"Can't know what? I didn't expect to find out that you two had left without permission an-Angelo?!" I tensed up as I realized that Chris had tracked us down. Angelo walked up to Chris and they hugged each other tightly.

The scene made me angrier and also hurt so much, I couldn't bare to lay eyes on either of them. Without a warning, I ran and left Ryan with them. I didn't want to see any of them, I wanted to be alone.

The pain inside my chest grew until it was unbearable, the rage began to burn like fire through my veins. I couldn't control this much longer.

In a fit of rage I used my hellfire and set a bunch of cars alight, slowly losing control and letting my rage consume me. 

(Chris' POV)

Angelo was back in my arms. I couldn't remember the last time I'd been this at peace. He was back. He might've been my complete opposite, but I didn't care. I didn't care that he'd hidden from me either.

All that mattered was that he was back, and I felt almost whole again. Almost. 

 "Wait, Chris, where's Ricky gone?" I let go of Ange and turned to see that Ricky had vanished. Oh no. 

The screams from outside told me all I needed to know, and I quickly went to kiss Angelo before he stopped me and shook his head. I sighed, annoyed. But I had much more important things to deal with, so ran outside and saw a horrific sight. There were black flames everywhere, people were being burnt alive and in the middle of it all, was Ricky. 

He was in mid-air with a pair of feathery black wings, covered in flames, protruding from his back. He had lost control, but why? It wasn't because I'd ignored him was it?

I growled and jumped, hovering at eye-level with Ricky. His eyes were black, his veins were black and he was completely out of control. I didn't know if I could stop this. But I'd have to find a way, otherwise he'll die.

"Ricky! Stop this at once!" I yelled, trying to get close to him, but a barrier of flames pushed me back and prevented me from moving an inch towards him. Buildings began to crash and collapse on top of people. The screams were ear piercing. 

Angelo and Ryan both appeared at my side and I heard Ange let out a gasp of horror. "He won't stop h-he's lost control. I don't know what to do!" I yelled. I'd ignored him for months, and when I finally saw him again I went to punish him. 

In all honesty, the moment I saw him, I wanted to pull him into my arms. I knew all of this was because of me. I hadn't helped him when I saw him in the church. All I saw was Angelo. And my heart tried to burst out of my chest.

I'd missed Ange, a lot. It was like I was missing part of my soul and my being. I just wanted Angelo and when I saw him, he took priority. My sweet Angelo.

"Chris, we need to go! It's not safe here." Ange said, whilst Ryan did his best to get to Ricky. He was determined to save Ricky. And so was I.

Bloody tears were rolling down Ricky's face and I knew I needed to make a decision. The church burst into flames and Ange shielded us with his wings. 

"You two need to go, I'm the one who caused this and I need to fix it. Make sure your higher ups know that this is being dealt with and they're not to interfere. Ryan go inform the council that until further notice, Justin is in charge. Now go!" 

As soon as they both left, I went over to Ricky. I wasn't sure how I was going to stop this, but I didn't have a choice. If I didn't then the Archangels would kill him without a doubt.
