Heaven and Hell

Pain, misery, and love

Sage's POV

I always find my self in this situation, no not being in hell, but being terribly wrong. This time my life and my family's lives are in danger. In this house there isn't such thing as safe, we live right above the door to hell.

A door to death, pain, and nightmares. Hadrian was right, i need to get away from this house, away from him, but i don't want to. Something draws me to him, like a moth to light. Light, he's the exact opposite. Hadrian is darkness, but i still want to be with him. Theres a light under all of his pain, that causes him each and everyday, to fall deeper into the misery of hell. I will help him.

Hadrian's POV

I watch my surroundings, my fellow demons inflicting pain on the lives of the innocent. The reason we hurt the innocent, is because thats the one feeling we crave the most, innocence. Out of everything that has been striped away from us, family, joy, and love, innocence is what we need. We hope that by killing of hurting the innocent, it will come to us, free us from a life of hurting and killing others.

I know it doesn't, we are only adding layers upon layers of our crimes towards humanity. I look towards Sage, her eyes locked on a little girl, being drowned. I can tell she wants to help her, run over to her and brake the glass cage filled to the top with water. She cant, i wont let her, because if she did that, she would be punished.

I pulled on her hand, indicating to walk forward. She stands there for a moment looking down at the hard floor. I see a tear escape her eyes and fall to the ground. I pull her into my arms, she buries her head into my chest. I need to get her out of here. I pull away, grabbing her hand, and turn around, facing the direction of the door.

I reach the doorknob and turn it. Bringing her through the door, i regret my decision to bring her there. It would scare her forever, she will leave now, but i don't want her to. I love her, but that should be impossible.

Impossible for me to love her, i shouldn't feel this way. I should hate her, I'm wired to hate anyone that isn't apart of my army. Here i am, in front of her, wishing i could hold her in my ams and comfort her. I do, but i cant, and i know its forbidden.

My leader tells us that it distracts us from the war, to him winning is everything. Not stopping, we cant have families, because they "weigh" us down. I don't want to be apart of any of this, but its all i know now and i cant leave.

Authors note- yes i know its very short, and im going to make the next one longer(: i promise.
