Chapter 4
______________


The demon covered his ears.
"STOP!" he screamed and all of my duplicates and I laughed.
I took this moment to home to end this forever.

I ran as I drew my sword high enough to get the best cut.
He looked at me confused.
When I was close to him, with a fast pace, I drew down my sword which sliced through the demons neck.

It's head fell to the ground with a thud and black blood spattered around my face.
The thick mist cleared around the forest and I was greeted by the rays of the sun.

I heard faint crying and sniffling before I could investigate, I took out a spare cloth and cleaned off the fresh blood from my face.

I headed to the crying, as I walked deeper into the forest and the cries got louder.

🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕

By the pound deep in the forest was a little girl, crying.
What was a human child doing in the middle of the forest?

I walked to her and placed softly placed my hand on her back.
Without hesitation she hugged me.
To be honest, I didn't feel comfortable been hugged but nevertheless I softly brushed her hair with my fingers.

"Dear, what are you doing here?" I asked as I broke the hug and looked at the now calmed down child.
" I was playing and then I got lost! Can you please take me home?" She stated while ridding her tears.

"Don't worry dear, I will take you home! Now lift up your hands" I stated with a smile as I bent down and lifted her up.
"Thank you" the girl thanked me as her golden lining around her soul glowed brightly.

"Dear, do you want to hear a story?" I asked.
"Yes" the girl replied.
"Long ago when the world was still new, God had created humans but he added something special to them, a gold lining around their souls to show their purity. However because of this golden lining, demons started to pray on these pure humans, either making them corrupt, which means doing bad things or killing them. When God saw this, he sent down some of his trusted angels and guardians to protect the humans" I narrated.

"Do I have a golden lining around my soul?" She asked innocently.
"Yes and the most brightest, never loose that golden lining, stay gold! " I replied with a smile.

Soon we were by in the village and I put the girl down.
"Bye, Miss! " She bid me goodbye with the brightest smile before running away.

"Well, I never believed what Namjoon said but now that I've saw it with my own eyes, I'm shocked" an unfamiliar voice stated as I sensed two familiar presences and two unknown.

I turned around to see the two Arch Angels from before.
"Namjoon? Yoongi? What are you two doing in the village?" I asked with a forced smile.
The other two looked at me shocked.

"Did she just?-" one with the deep voice stated but stopped.
"Call them by their names?" The other completed the sentence.
"I don't mean any disrespect but people will get suspicious if I all you all by your titles" I stated loud enough for them to hear me.

"Oh, well then let's go somewhere where there's no eyes and ears?" The Namjoon stated.

I followed the Arch Angels into the forest.

🌕☀️🌕☀️🌕

The Arch Angels exchange a few glances before one of them spoke.
"I'm Park Jimin, the Arch Angel of Kindness" Jimin introduced himself with an eye smile.

"I am Kim Taehyung, the Arch Angel of Love" Taehyung introduced himself with a boxy smile.
"I'm (Y/N)" I simply said before another round of silence followed so I took this time to take a good look at the two new Arch Angels.

Jimin has a squishy round face, a small button nose, light brown eyes, his black hair is parted from the side. He's wearing a loose white shirt, with leather pants and brown boots.

Taehyung has a slight rounded face with soft yet defined features, a pointy nose, deep brown eyes, his black hair with slight curls cover his eyebrows. He's wearing a loose white shirt, leather pants, black boots and a robe that sits perfectly on his shoulders.

All the Arch Angels are wearing human clothes, loose shirts, leather pants and boots.
Leather pants only royals or nobles use them when they are going out.

Someone cleared their throat and I realized it was Jimin.
"You're a demon, which means that you're the farthest thing from kindness but yet you helped the little girl" Jimin stated.

"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult!" I stated bluntly.
"No, no (Y/N)! I meant that you're different from all the demons I meant!" Jimin defended himself.
"Jimin, it's okay!" I stated.
"Again with the name calling!" Taehyung stated.
I raised a brow at him.
"Well, all of you are fallen which means you no more hold the title of Arch Angel" I stated.

"True, but that doesn't mean that we don't want to get back our titles!" Taehyung stated with bitterness laced in his voice.

"How exactly are you Angels gonna do that?" I asked.
Taehyung looked like he wanted to say something but he kept quite.

We heard rustling and a twig break, a foul scent hit my nose.
The smell you get when a person loses the golden lining around their souls.

Out of the bushes was a hunter, who smiled at all of us.
"Well isn't this strange? Four men and a beauty in a forest! You all better get going before it's too late" the hunter stated.
"Why's that?" Namjoon asked.

"Well, there's a lot going! It's a demon who haunts this forest! It's said that she kills whoever enters the forest at night!" The hunter stated.

"Do you any idea of how the demon looks?" I asked.
"The desperation oddly resembles you but then again I've seen stranger things!"
