Saved

Is That...Adam?

It's been a week since the extermination. Well, failed extermination. Lucifer, his daughter, and her friends managed to fight back against the angels. They even killed the leader of the exorcist army, and the first man, Adam. 

It's insane to think the first man is dead.

I made my way through the streets of hell, just trying to get home without an issues. It was the dead of night, so luckily not too many sinners were out. 

God dammit, I hate it here. I hate the danger, I hate the stress, I hate the fucking smell. 

As I passed an alleyway, I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I know I shouldn't look, but my curiosity got the better of me.

I stepped towards the alley.

"Hello?" I called out.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" Someone screamed back. I saw someone cowering near the back of the alley, their back pressed against the wall.

I looked closer. I could see the golden wings covering his body; he was cowering. 

Holy shit.

"Adam...?" I stepped further into the alley. 

There's no way this was Adam, the first man. He died, didn't he? It was on the news. So, what the fuck is he doing here? 

"I SAID BACK OFF, BITCH! I'LL FUCKING END YOU!" His wings shook slightly, but they stayed covering his body. 

Yeah, that's Adam.

Despite my better judgement, I took another step closer. 

He seems.. Scared? 

"Adam, do you need help?" 

What the fuck am I doing? This man could fucking kill me. Charlie said to always help someone in need, but I don't think she meant this. 

"I DON'T NEED FUCKING HELP! I'M THE FIRST MAN GOD DAMMIT!" He spread his wings out in an intimidating manner, but for some reason it felt like it was done more out of fear.

I looked at his face. 

Why... Where's his mask?

His robe was still stained with golden angel blood. 

"At least... Let me get you out of this alley... You don't know what kind of sinners are crawling around here..." Adam was about to protest again, but a loud banging erupting from the dumpster next to him caused him to freeze.

"Fine, bitch. Fine! But if you try ANYTHING I will fucking kill you." Adam made his way out of the alley and over to me.

Holy shit, what am I doing? This is the leader of the exorcist army. The first man! He's KNOWN for despising sinners! I'm a fucking idiot.  

As we walked through the streets, he kept his guard up, constantly looking around for any signs of danger.

"Most people are asleep, you know." I couldn't help but chuckle. Here was the first man, fearless leader of the exorcist army, cowering in fear walking down the streets of hell.

"Fuck you, bitch! I'm not stupid. You sinners are just.. fucking freaks!" He crossed his arms, grumbling like a child.

"Well, one of these freaks is helping your ass." 

I can't believe I'm helping this fucking idiot.

"I told you I didn't need your help. But why the fuck are you doing this? Gonna mount my wings on the wall or some shit?" He glared down at me.
