 I wanted to believe that this was all just a bad dream; something that could never actually happen to someone like me. All I ever wanted was to protect everyone; to do what was best for everyone. I tried to hold onto that belief until the very end. However, once my body hit the hard, cold ground I felt something entirely new; pain and betrayal. Is this the pain of a sinner? No... there had to be another reason, right? Perhaps I had a purpose to serve here?

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" A soft, yet panicked voice entered my ears.

I opened my eyes and took notice of a girl with rosy cheeks peering down at me, worry evident on her face. My eyes widened, tears threatening to fall as I took notice of who the girl before me actually was.

"You're," I paused for a second, struggling to push myself into a sitting position, "Lucifer's daughter, aren't you?"

Earlier that morning.

"Emily?" I knocked on the girl's door rather softly, feeling a bit nervous. "Are you in there?"

"Oooh, uhh yeah sure am!" she replied, her voice sounding cheerful, yet a bit off.

"Are you going to the meeting today?" I asked, nervously rubbing the side of my arm. "Sera said it was really important. She said all high ranking angels needed to be present."

"Oh, no I don't think so I've been pretty busy," she replied hastily behind the door. "You know, being joyous and all that ahahaha."

"Why haven't you been answering my calls?" I asked rather bluntly, a pit forming in my stomach. "You don't seem like you've been yourself lately. Actually, I haven't even seen you at all lately. Are you okay?"

I hadn't really spoken to Emily in over a month; which was weird since we were pretty close. It wasn't like her to not share things with me, or for her to be distant. For the most part she was like an open book, always eager to share everything. She shared the good, the bad, and the in between. What on earth was she hiding?

"I'm doing just fine!" She spouted.

"Okay, um..." I paused, biting my lip, "Actually, I came here because I wanted to talk to you."

"Now really isn't a good time," she said, her voice sounding surprisingly blunt.

"Emily, are you avoiding me?" I felt my stomach churn. Was there more of a reason as to why she had been avoiding me for so long? "Did I do something wrong?"

"Of course not!"

"Then can I please come in for just a few minutes?" I asked. "I really need someone to talk to."

"I...." She trailed off. "Yeah, but can you keep a secret?"

"Yeah, of course," I replied, trying to hide the overwhelming curiosity that suddenly enveloped me. Normally, she isn't hesitant to tell me something. I knew it must have been really important.

She opened the door, revealing a tall, snake-like angel standing next to her. She quickly shut the door behind me, putting a finger to her lips, signaling for me to keep my voice down.

"Hello," I said, very confused. "Are you...Emily's boyfriend?"

"No, I already have relations with another female..." the snake said, sounding slightly offended by my comment. "I think."

"Sir Pentious is... a reformed sinner." Emily stated. "He rose from Hell and made it to Heaven."

"A reformed sinner?" I asked, excitement filling my voice. "Wow, I didn't know such a thing was possible!"
