Beautiful Spirit (demon x angel) [ON HOLD]

~Chapter 10~

Phoenix's POV

My lungs felt like they were being pressed up against the wall behind me, my eyes felt like they were being gauged out with nails, my bones felt like they were slowly cracking everywhere, and my heart felt like it had slowed down to five beats a minute. My throat felt so raw, it burned every time I took a breath in. I couldn't see, due to the fact that my sight was so blurry I couldn't see anything but blobs of colour. One thing, that stayed completely normal, was my hearing. I could hear the sound of a man breathing heavily, who I knew was about ten feet away from me; and I could hear the sound of pages being flipped.

"Von has quite the interesting mind, for a demon, don't you think?" I heard what I thought was Satan's voice say from a small distance away from me. I heard a door slam open, and fast footsteps walking towards where Satan is.

"Sir, I am here to inform you that demons and fallen angels are starting a war in the Veil." I heard a small voice whisper to Satan.

"I see... Send all the projections you can." Satan said.

"Yes, sir." The small voice said, and I heard footsteps rush out of the room.

"Your friends and my sons are starting to annoy me quite a bit." Satan said. I couldn't even think straight. I felt like a vegetable. "Maybe I should rid of my son." I tried to speak but all that came out, was a large breath of air. "Right. Well, this is no fun if you can't see or speak!" Satan laughed, and my overall pain lessened.

"You'll never win..." I said. Woah. Where'd that come from?

"Oh, someone's hopeful." Satan said, and I narrowed my eyes at him. "Well, whether you like it or not, I'm going to destroy the Veil and everything anyone remembers about it."

"If you did, wouldn't that destroy Hell? I mean, if you think that I'm the problem then maybe you should look in the mirror and figure out who the real problem is." I growled. "Plus, Hell is part of the Veil. You can't destroy the Veil unless you destroy Hell."

"No, he'll isn't part of the Veil. You're lying." Satan yelled, obviously angered. He looked at me with blood red eyes and a darkened face. "I will destroy you." Satan took a step towards me, but flew back, making a crack in the crimson wall. A shadow of smoke formed and kept Satan pinned to the wall. A cloaked figure came into the room, and helped me up as my pain decreased slowly.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm a friend. I'm here to help. Now, come with me before we are both destroyed." A woman's voice came through the cloak, and the figure dragged me out the door, and I felt my weight leave my body once again. We appeared in a room full of fallen angels, and I froze. "It's alright. They are all fighting with you."

"But," I said, "where are my friends?" The cloaked figure revealed herself, and she looked like neither a demon or angel.

"Grimm and Scarlet are already here. Von on the other hand..." The woman trailed off, and my thoughts trailed over to him.

"He's not on earth is he?! God, there was a thing that looked exactly like me that sent me back here and-" I started but the woman put a hand on my shoulder.

"No, he's not on earth. He discovered that the projection wasn't you. He detected a few things about you that the projection didn't do." She explained. "Now, let's go to a separate room and I'll explain everything. This one is a little bit crowded." The woman dragged me through the room of fallen angels, and they all started whispering and looking at me. The woman led me into a separate room from all of the fallen angels, and I was bombarded by a large hug from Scarlet.

"Oh my god! Are you okay?! Do I need to murder a bitch?!" Scarlet said, pulling away from me and checking over me for injuries.

"I'm fine. All I need to know now is if Von is okay." I said, looking at the woman. Scarlet backed away, looking down at the ground, and walked to Grimm.
