10. Former Church Girl
Olympia
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE PRETENDING THE APOCALPYSE DIDN'T HAPPEN would be easier. The outside world isn't what I remember, and I feel like denial can be easier than acknowledgment.
But now I'm in a situation where I have to acknowledge what is before me.
I mean I can't just ghost my new demon boss and pray he'll take me back. Would praying even work? I feel like it would be counterproductive unless I prayed to some demon.
Even then Akor happens to be high up on hell's hierarchy. Or at least that's the way it seems. I'm no demon expert much less on how hell works. It's not something I'm interested in either.
It seems a lot of problems stem from hell. From having to ditch my college to the deaths of my roommates and now the situation I'm in now. It's crazy how those batshit ladies from church were right about the end of times and repenting.
Although I don't think any repenting, I've done has helped me out. It seems to be they tricked me on that.
The best I can do is just push forward. Akor hasn't ordered my capture or death, so he's leagues ahead compared to other demons.
The only actual red flag of his is how flirty he is. I never really was flirted with, so it caught me off guard. And deep, deep down in me I enjoyed the flirting. I mean how can someone like me not be flattered by someone as attractive as he is flirting with me.
Although maybe I shouldn't be flattered. Maybe he flirts with people frequently.
My only experience with sex demons and demons in general were humans turned into demons. Apparently not even in the normal way of how humans can become demons.
I sighed as I leaned back in the bed. I had made myself a little cocoon of blankets and pillows.
A few days had passed since my job with Akor, and I spent most of it in bed sleeping. I would get up to eat, shower, and use the bathroom. Besides that, I preferred being in bed.
I had run out of books to read and purchasing books isn't exactly high up on my list. I mean I do have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, but it felt weird. Are the authors still earning money off of it?
Are some of those authors still alive? Typically, I don't let those thoughts plague me but since the night with Akor after the job so many thoughts consumed me.
The worst one being the red beryl necklace.
Akor had me steal that necklace under the disguise that it was some grand demon necklace that he desired. Something that he couldn't steal himself.
In reality it was just some ordinary crystal necklace At least that's what I chalked it up to be.
Believing that angels and demons exist is hard enough on my mental health. If I, could I'd just bury my head in these pillows and forget the outside world exists. In here there are no demons.
The thought of acknowledging more than just them exists isn't one I want to entertain.
This stupid necklace makes me have to entertain it. It also makes me have to acknowledge that I may not be human either.
Akor told me how crystal can end up being affected by angels, demons, and the occasional witch around them. That the powers rub off on them.
If I didn't have a slight interest in crystals, I wouldn't know what he meant. But crystals are capable of absorbing energy hence why they have to be cleansed. I had bought myself anxiety crystals before back before I became dependent on my anxiety meds to manage my panic disorder.
