Ramshackle's Angel

17

About a week after Lorelai gotten sick, she and Vinnie stood outside Ditch's place. Vinnie had brought her along just in case Ditch or his crew tried something.

"Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Lorelai asked her, fiddling with the end of her new dress.

Since fighting the monster fish to save Stone, her original dress was starting to literally fall apart at the seams. So, she went out to find a replacement. Luckily, she found a beautiful short, off-the-sholders black dress that had a light gray corset with red details. The bottom was a little torn but, hey! She loved it and it gave it character. Plus, Stone this adorable little skull pin and gave it to her. So, she took it and put it on her choker. She then finished the outfit with a dark gray fingerless glove, thus giving her a sorta edgy, emo look. But she loved it.

"And are you sure wearing a black dress when it's sunny out is a good idea?" Vinnie replied, side eyeing her.

"Your forgetting where I lived for the first 15 years of my life" she deadpanned.

"....you got me there."

"Yeah, I know" Lorelai told her with a smirk.

And with a deep breath, the two girls walked into the warehouse to see Ditch waiting for them.

*I'm too lazy to write the lyrics rn, so deal with me.*

"STONE! SKIPP!" Lorelai yelled as she ran over to her boyfriend and the boy who was more like a little brother to her before falling to her knees.

Vinnie was hyperventilating as she progressed what was happening. Lorelai sobbed as she heard two nearly silent heartbeats. They were alive, barely, but still alive. Ditch laughed as Vinnie tried to wake up Skipp. Lorelai looked at her injured friends as she slowly stopped crying before her breathing quickly got heavy. She felt something inside her shift around, only fueling her building anger. Suddenly, three small strands of a blood-like liquid slowly flowed from her bottom lip as her body burned. But this time, it was different. Her hands balled into fists as a low growl came from her. She knew she was turning into her demon form, and she didn't want to stop it. She slowly turned her head to Ditch as the whites of her eyes turned inky black. His eyes widened as she stood up and her hair turned more red then ever before. Her small horns and cat ears came out, only this time they were followed by two bigger dark gray horns. The ends of her fingers turned into black razor sharp blades as her tail came out. Along the top of her tail, small, red, sharp spikes came out as a red pentagram appeared on her shoulder like someone was painting it on her.

"Oh, you fucked up" Vinnie said as a demonic, sinister giggle came from the Cambion.

You should've thought twice before hurting them.

Her voice....it was nearly unrecognizable from how demonic it was now. Vinnie gulped as she moved the boys to the side. Ditch then snapped his fingers and his men surrounded her. She only gave out a laugh.

So be it.

Then they started attacking her. Vinnie watched in both horror and amusement as Lorelai somehow went feral but didn't kill anyone.

"Guys! Wake up! Lorelai is kicking ass!" Vinnie yelled.

Finally, after a minute, Stone and Skipp finally woke up, just in time to witness Lorelai's hand phase into Ditch's chest. Then, slowly, she pulled it out until her hand was free, showing a glowing dark golden orb inside of it.

"W-what is that?" He asked, looking at her with terror in his face.

What else would it be? Your soul of course.

His soul is then engulfed by red magic before turning into a paper. A contract to be more exact.

Sigh it.

"I beg your fucking pardon?!" He asked her.

If you wanna keep your pathetic life, you'll sigh the goddamn contract.

Ditch's hesitation hung palpably in the air, torn between meeting his demise at Lorelai's hands, and the desperate desire to cling onto his soul. In a frantic flurry of thoughts, he tried to find a loophole, a slim chance to excape the looming threat of the feral cambion. Yet, Lorelai, sensing his inner turmoil, ignites Ditch's soul ablaze and starts to consume the very essence of his being as he screamed in pain.

Tick-tock. You're running outta time, Ditch. What's it's gonna be?

"Alright! I'll do it!" He said in a panicky, strained tone.

With trembling hands, Ditch reluctantly accepted the black-glowing quill pen, it's eternal light casting an eerie glow onto his features as he hesitantly etches his signature onto the contract. An irrevocable pact sealing his soul to Lorelai. Lorelai's dark chuckle resonated through the entire warehouse, a chilling echo of triumph as she casually discards the once feared gang leader, now reduced to a pitiful figure sprawled across the cold floor, a stark reminder of the mercyless grip of destiny.

If I catch you hurting any of my friends again, I'll purge your soul from all worlds. Understand?

A red spirit chain manifested and forms around his neck as he struggled to get up. A black heart lock then snapped into place, forever locking it. Lorelai then pulled the chain, forcing him to look into her black and red eyes.

Do I make myself clear?

"Y-yes...." he replied with a nod, stammering.

"Good. Till we meet again, Ditch" she told him, her voice retuning back to normal.

"Lorelai?...."

She gasped a little before she turned around to see The terror in her friends's faces. Skipp's most of all.

"Skipp, I-" she went to gently touch his shoulder when he smacked it away in pure fear.

"....W-what are you?" He asked, tears in his eyes.

She gasped again before realizing what she did. Ashamed and terrified, she ran out of the warehouse.

"Lorelai!" Stone yelled as he tried to go after her but failed due to how badly beaten he was.

Crying immensely, She ran through the alleys and across rooftops before she arrived at the lake front. Once she arrived, the sun had set and the faint moonlight glistened over the gentle ripples of the water. She fell to her knees and into the sand, sobbed loudly, failing to see a creature about her size pass through the water as it came close to the shore.
