At the Edge of Eden

Outside the Wall

Vannor

"So that's them huh?" I asked my sister as we sat near the exiles. Naturally they couldn't see us yet.

Lilith smiled lightly, "I think I would recognize my ex and my literal replacement Vann."

Well that's fair enough.

"I wonder what they did..." I trailed off before shifting into my human form. Lilith grabbed my arm.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" she hissed. "They're the only two humans, moron."

"Well didn't those angels show up in their human forms from time to time? It's not like they were entirely isolated." I tried to reason, shaking off her grip before continuing, "besides, helping them build shelter would be an easy way for them to trust a demon, no?"

"Whatever," she grumbled. I cautiously approached the humans. The man was Adam, I knew that, but the girl...

"Hey there Adam!" I shouted at them. He perked up.

"Hello. Are you here to help us? Has God forgiven us for my wife's idiotic act?" he asked, throwing a glare at the woman.

So he does think I'm an angel... as if those prisses would step ten feet out of their little garden.

"No, your act was far too evil. I am here to help you make a shelter."

The man agreed and I quickly utilized my strength to build a small hut for them. The woman, Eve, was forced to sit by a tree.

Once done, Adam thanked me for my help before yanking Eve inside the house.

That night, all Lilith and I could hear were her screams.

"That bastard," Lilith snarled, her nails digging into the bark. I was reclined, twirling a dagger in my hand.

"We could always just-"

My sentence was interrupted by a pure white light.

Lilith winced, "son of a bitch!"

Once the light went away, we were able to see another woman.

She was dressed in all white, clearly an angel. I've never seen one look so furious before, and I've made many angry.

"Oh this is gonna be fun."

Elymd

Shitshitshitshitshitshit.

As soon as Eve's screams pierced my ears, I couldn't help but rush to help her. In the heat of my anger, I barely registered the fact that despite having everything handed to them, they had managed to build a hut before nightfall. Impressive.

Not as impressive as the ass-whoppin I'm about to give Adam.

Phasing through the door, my eyes fell upon a gruesome sight: Adam had whipped Eve to the ground and torn her bloody dress into pieces.

Angels are not meant to have fury.

Angels are not meant to touch humans.

Angels... are not meant to betray orders.

"Adam," I thundered. He turned to face me, horror painting his face. He fell to his knees, blubbering about forgiveness and praying.

Weak.

I reached out slowly before slapping him into a small coma. It did little to soothe the rage, but it felt good.

I took a glance at Eve.

Already broke one rule, might as well help her.

I walked outside and created another room for their hut. I was just about to grab some wood when I heard a voice behind me.

"Well well... What a sight this is."
