apollos x serenity

part 12

"Oh come on now.." Apollos says with a rather seductive tone. "No need to feel like that... Don't you just love the power that is running in your veins...? The amazing dark wings. The ability to do whatever you want and serve the Dark Lord?!" He balled his fists and raised them up in the air slightly, feeling the power inside of him rushing through him.

"There is nothing amazing about any of this" she said sadly and on the verge of crying as she keeps her head on her knees.

"Nonsense.. Try releasing the powers you have gained.. Trust me. You will love it." He was a little hesitant, but he held out his hand, grabbed hers and pulled her up onto her feet. "Try!" He declared, letting go quickly.

She just walks away from him, not wanting to try anything. She messes with a locket that was hanging down from her neck as she walks sadly away from him.

Apollos attempt to help didn't work. He knew what he must do.. Even though he didn't like it. He summoned his wings, flew towards the waterfall from before and made his way to where he kicked the cross. He found the cross hidden under some rocks by some tall grass. He gulped, his fingers twitching from nervousness. He quickly snatched it and flew back to her. He hid his wings back into his shoulder blades and when he ran in front of her, his hands were literally melting. Oozing a black liquid. He dropped the cross on the ground and fell to his side. Burning with pain. "There... Take the cross."

serenity looks at the cross and her eyes light up when she see it but then she looks at the demon, and sees his hand melted, her look softens "you didn't have to get it" she says as she picks up one of his hands and tries to use the healing power she Once had as a angel.

"It's no use."Apollos said, taking a breath. "We heal over time. If I go to my chambers down in hell. I will surely grow them back." He stands up, staggering to get on his feet.

Serenity looks at him, "...ok'' she slowly lets go how his hand and lets it fall back to his side, worried about the demon, she thinks to herself 'can I really be worried about this demon' she looks at the cross thats on the ground in front of her.

Apollos nods to her before disappearing from her and the crosses sight. It didn't take long, but he soon grew his hands and claws back and felt his power and strength return to him. When he was done, he was unsure about going back up there. He was afraid that the cross would hurt him again. Too much exposure could kill him. He then wondered why he helped that angel? Did he just feel.. bad for her?

Serenity just stands there looking at the cross for a little bit, when she goes to pick it up but doesn't, because she reminds herself that she is a demon now so it will hurt her if she touches it, so she puts a shield around it and buries it so she always knows where it is. Then she walks deeper into the forest.

After Apollos took a break, he looked around his chambers. The other incubi haven't come by, which was odd. He assumed they were all busy with the market that just opened up. He hoped that they were not cheating by buying ny. It would break the rules of their game. Apollos knew they would eventually break the rules, being demons and all, so he rose up and flew towards the market. It didn't seem very full, until he heard a few demons who were talking say that there were a few religious groups out on the earth who had many crosses outside and lived in the church. It made Apollos feel a little angry. He thought it would be a good chance to get the remaining people who lived on earth. He then thought of a pan. /Heh.. I can just use that stupid angel to do all the dirty work... But how?\ He placed a finger on his chin and made his way back up to earth searching for the angel from before.
