Sins & Sympathy I: Book Of Edges

Broken Boundaries in "Human" - Chapter 2/Page 1

Sin stood there. His eyes were widened, and pupils tight. Those words Nigel had said, 'You are a demon, Sin.' haunted his ears, echoing down each and every corridor of his body. "What's wrong, Sin? Did that cut do a little more than just bleed? Or are my words eating away at your mortality." Nigel mocked. But Sin wasn't dying, far from it. That's when something deep inside his head was forged. The essence of a true demon, lashing away at whatever humanity it had left. "Y-You're joking! You've gotta be!" He yelled. Nigel smirked and said "Someone had to tell you the truth, Sin. Even though we are demons, we couldn't lie, if we felt like not doing so." Nigel said, perking to his Self-proclaimed better self. "But I'm afraid I must be off, demons to awaken, a plan to follow...You're head-mount in creation as we speak...That brings the question. Would you like Brimstone, or Mahogany? Either one will do in my book, but--" He was interrupted by Sin firing a bullet, in which Nigel caught just before impact with his forehead. He then coin-flipped it to the side, as he finished. "It's all you're choice." Sin collapsed on the floor, and woke up the next day in the Legion's Armored Truck, it was on it's way to Campbell, Ohio. The grass was green, unlike the sandy bricks of his home-town. Yet the people weren't all that swell. We didn't have the cocky, smart-aleck Sin like before. He was rather serious now, until the vehicle stopped. "Alright gentlemen, I expect you to keep keen eyes for the abnormal, as well as liesl. And while your at it, help our friend, Jack here, to find some affordable housing for the time-being. Sin, go find Liesl, and please, don't do anything stupid." Roxford said. Sin was walking down the trail, when spotting a group of kids trotting down a river-path. He didn't suspect to follow them, not knowing much about Liesl in the first place. He kept walking until he bumped into someone. He stumbled back, and said. "My apologies, I--" He looked up, and saw the demon. the Shadow from his town. And more of them. He went straight for his blade, when the Demons started falling over. In the forest background, a woman, similarly aged to Sin was standing there with here arsenal held high and slaughtering the demons from behind. Sin didn't even budge, but crossed his arms in dissapointment. "Really? You do all that, when the fun was right in front of me." He said. The woman walked forward loading her weapons, as she put her barrel in front of his forehead. "You don't look like a civilian, who the hell are you? Walking around my day-camp route armed like you own the place?" The woman said. Sin didn't hesitate to put his hands up, until he remembered. He put his hands down, and covered the barrel of the gun with his palm. "Sorry miss, but I can walk with a bag of shit on my back around these routes. Last time I checked, pretty little mishaps like you didn't bare arms at a day-camp." He chuckled as she shot at him. He fell over, then got back up from the fire." Put a silencer on that thing, the signs didn't say it wasn't Hunting season." She looked at him in dumbstruck. "How on Earth!?, What the hell are you!? You're not wearing a Kevlar." She got a call, delaying her shift to a halt. "Well, I don't have time for this, ma'am. Would you know where a girl named 'Liesl' is?" The woman looked at him like he was joking. "I am Liesl." She said. Sin looked at her, and then the picture of her during enlistment to the Legion. The picture looked like a focused, sexy woman who would follow commands to the end of the Earth. He looks up, only to see a 16 year-old girl in a trimmed leather jacket, skinny jeans, and purely low attitude, but still looks sexy. "Are you sure you're Liesl?" He says, as she swipes the picture from his hand. "Oh...you're from the Legion." She murmured. Sin was all in ears for that sentence, then replied "Why yes I am, my friend." He tried to have Roxford's down-to-earth serious tone, but failed immensely. "What do they want?" Well, 'Liesl', my home got torn apart by a Brimstone Titan, tearing through the streets. And--" They were interrupted by a flock of demons, in which they presumed to attack, and speak. "And it was pouring like rain with these guys, their all pushovers in my opinion!" He exclaimed while fighting off the hoard. "Do you know what they want?" She said, as She was downing each one with accurate headshots. "I don't know, but one of them thinks I'm his brother, and he wants to bring that thing back to life! You know, for evil, tear-apart the world for demons to rule type of things!" He yelled to her. After the hoard of Lies died, or fled, they were left with Damnation, and four unique looking enemies. The 4 were unarmed robes with glowing red eyes beneath the umber of the hood. Damnation pointed it's finger at the 2 of them, and the four were sent to battle. "The hell are these things?" Sin said. That's when one of them unhooded itself, and revealed a Silver Skull with red glowing eyes. Sin started firing, but was stopped by hands emerging from the ground and pulling him in. Lies came to the rescue by kicking it over, and continuously fired until death. The demon fell over, and shrilled the word "WRATH". That's when another Wrath did the same to Liesl, in attempt to her pulling sin out of the ground. She was done for, until one of the hands touched her breast. She then switched target to the Wrath she stared at with Anger, and slight embarrassment. "You! You Pervertive! PERVERTIVE SON OF A BITCH!" She cried, as she started to rain lead on everything demon in the area. After the four were killed to her rage, Damnation fled back to the depths below. After Sin plucked her from the ground, they continues down the trail.
