A Night Out

Witching Hour

~~ Two Weeks Previous ~~

As the last bell rang, Satan gathered his things and turned to Simeon, who was seated beside him.

"Simeon, would you mind walking Sarah home? I have some business to attend to and I don't want her to be targeted if things go sour." Normally he would entrust one of his brothers to walk her back but he would rather not get them involved. This was something he had to take care of.

The angel paused, concern written on his face, "Does it have anything to do with why she was upset the other day? I pray she isn't too troubled."

Satan gave a nod, "I'm afraid so. There are a few witches I must speak with. If they are from the coven I think they are..things can get messy quickly if we don't see things eye to eye."

Simeon's lips twisted in thought before giving a nod, "I will look after her. Please be careful. I know you can handle yourself but trifling with witches, even here, can be dangerous."

A soft chuckle slips from Satan's lips, "Are you worried about me?"

Simeon frowned, "It may be hard for you to accept, but I do worry for you and your brothers. You may not have seen the radiant light of the Celestial Realm, but I still consider you as a brother."

The smile that once formed over Satan's features fell as he looked away with a scolding glare. "...."

A sigh leaves the angel's lips, shaking his head, "At any rate, I will look after Sarah for you." He places a hand over his heart, "By the light and grace of the Divine Father, I shall be a shepherd and see to it that the young lamb is ushered home. You have my word."

Simeon left the room and walked down the hall, calling out to Sarah, who had been stopped earlier by Luke. Satan stood by the doorway to see them exchange smiles as she greeted the older angel. Simeon placed a hand on her shoulder, making a hand gesture towards the door. She gave him a nod as the three of them walked out.

Satan struggled with the urge to scream in anger. Though he understood that Simeon only meant the best for him, he couldn't possibly accept being considered as someone related to an angel from the Celestial Realm. He was born from the pure rage and hatred Lucifer had upon his fall from grace. There was nothing about him that was akin to that of a heavenly being. 

How dare he..!

Simeon had no right to make such a claim! Growling under his breath, he pushed away from the doorway once Sarah and the angels were out of sight. He made his way through the halls and paused when he heard the witches who had been causing problems, gossip near the cafeteria.

"I still can't believe that girl has so many contracts. Like, we've been to so many summonings and gatherings to get power..and the most we can do is summon lesser demons to do our bidding. They aren't even that powerful. At this rate we will be the laughing stock of our coven."

 There was a pause, "What does that woman have anyways? She isn't special. She doesn't look all that attractive either. Just some fat ass human woman who has no talent. Yet she has six pacts. It's sickening. I bet she bribed them by whoring herself out. Hmph..damn that harlot.."

A low growl formed in the depths of Satan's throat as a dark aura washed over him. He was already in a foul mood, but hearing what this witch was saying pissed him off even more. Without thinking, he turned into his demon form and launched towards the witch. His right hand gripped her throat as his eyes glowed a dark green, snarling under his breath. When she struggled against him, he held her wrists in a tight vice grip.

"So..you're the little witch that has been causing my human distress. I would watch my tongue, if I were you. You know nothing of what you speak of, " he applied further pressure on her neck as she continued to attempt to wriggle out of his grip. "If you think you can handle a powerful demon, why don't you prove it? Use your magic against me and attempt to bind me. You better act quick before I tear you from limb from limb. Then all of Devildom will see how much of a weak coward you are for not defending yourself against a demon."
