Vaggie's POV:

Because of how worried I was for the safety of Charlie and her people, I knew I needed to have a chat about it with her.

I left her a text to say that I wanted to meet up with her later and then got through another day of work.

When it isn't the day of the extermination, all we do at work is discuss ideas, plan for the next extermination and make new and even more powerful weapons. It's extremely boring but I just have to get through it otherwise I have no money and can't really do anything.

I'm always extremely tired because I stay up all night thinking of Charlie and my fellow excorcists have gotten used to that and just don't give me as much work these days. But today, my coffee really seemed to be kicking in and I was much more active to the point I was hyperactive.

I kept on suggesting plenty of ideas (not ones that I actually wanted them to use, but ideas), sharpening spears at the speed of light and getting the angels to pile on more and more work for me.

Most of my excorcists were astonished and even clapping, but I could tell Lute was concerned. There were quite a few times where she would walk up to me but I would shoot straight past her and continue on with my work.

Once the work day was over, I flew back to my room and waited patiently for midnight...

A few hours later, I did the usual and crept out of my bedroom and the flew over the buildings of Heaven. But just as I was about to fly down and was on the edge of the cloud when I heard a voice from behind me.

"Vaggie?"

I turned around to see a concerned Lute. When we my eyes locked her, she then furrowed her eyebrows.

"What are you doing?!" She exclaimed.

"Nothing!" I replied.

"I've been noticing recently you've been going out of your room at night a lot, what have you been up to?" She asked.

"You've been stalking me?!" I exclaimed, "Stop being such a nosy bit-"

She then walked up to me and peared down below.

"It's almost as if-" Lute paused and then came to a realisation, "Wait, are you the angel who's been helping put Charlie Morningstar?"

"I umm..." I stuttered.

"Deep down I knew it, I feel I've been going too soft on you lately..." She said, "But I honestly don't understand why you're hanging out so much with 'Miss Butterflies and Rainbows'"

"How dare you talk about her like that!" I shouted, "Says you who's dating one!"

"That's it, I've had enough with you!" Lute yelled.

With that, she summoned her angelic spear. She tried to aim it at my heart but I managed to stop her. But because I was so distracted by that, I couldn't stop her from poking my eye out.

While I was screaming in pain, she then tore off my wings and kicked me in the back of the legs, forcing me to kneel down.

"Here's what you get for dumping me!" Lute yelled.

"You're still upset about th-" Before I could finish my remark, she put her hands of my shoulders and pushed me off the edge of the clouds, the edge of Heaven.

As I was falling, the last thing I saw was Lute smiling smugly and she looked down at me while showing off her spear that had my eye on it.

I let this happen... I let this be my downfall...
