Everlasting Fate (Third Book)

Chapter Ten

1988 A.D.

It's been one hundred years since I have seen him, Alduin. A hundred years since I have loved, felt warmth in a single hug or a finger tip's touch. I am lost. I belong to Lucifer now, who is cold and unfeeling. He is indifferent towards me as well. He sends me on unimportant missions because he cannot trust me. Not even Luci wants me. How fucked up is that?

"Gabby, hurry and finish your eyeliner, you crazy bitch!" A demon named Mina squealed. Mina was another Fallen like me who was never claimed by another God and thus, became Luci's property. I had a tight circle of demon friends. No self-respecting angel, Fallen or otherwise, would ever be seen with a creature claimed by the devil. Not that I blamed them, but it sucked ass for me and meant that my choices of friends were limited.

A female blood demon beside Mina leaned over me and stole my bright red lipstick. She slicked the creamy stick over her lips and smacked them together. Her long ebony hair had a strip of silver in it. She wore a skin tight mini skirt, a hot pink off the shoulder shirt, and a pair of cute black booties. Her hair was teased to high heaven.

"If we're late to this concert I swear I will drop you both on the side of the road." Mina crossed her arms over her chest. Her brightly dyed magenta hair was pulled into high bouncy pigtails.

The blood demon named Ketsueki hissed at her and then winked playfully. Sueki had two sides; an innocent playful teenager and then a cunning seductive demoness. I didn't know whether to fear her or put her in my pocket. She had a woman's form in a tiny body, giving one the illusion she was small and weak. That was not the case.

"Do I look okay?" I asked the small group of demons. The group consisted of three female blood demons and three male demons who were originally angels, and Mina and I. Sueki and Mina were the only ones, of this group, that I knew well. Although it's kind of hard to say that I'm "close" to Sueki. One is not simply "close" to a blood demon. I smirked at the thought.

"Your hair isn't thick enough." A male demon winked. His fluffy black hair was definitely teased plenty.

Mina groaned and stomped over to me. She ripped the comb through my heavy hair sprayed hair.

"Uh, ow!" I snatched the comb from her.

"You look perfect. Can we go now?" She huffed. I observed my black rimmed eyes, scarlet lips, and my huge hair. I loved the 80's. I wore a cropped denim jacket revealing half of my stomach, acid-washed jeans, white pumps, big silver hoops, a stud in my nose and a small hoop on my eyebrow.

"What are you wearing under that jacket?" The male demon peered at me curiously. The group set its sights on my chest.

He knew full well what was underneath it. So I cockily grinned at him and undid the buttons and opened the jacket. There was a chorus of cheers and laughter. Most of them were already drunk and high on something sitting on the coffee table in packets. I pulled the buttons together again over my bare breasts and shook my head.

Sueki giggled hysterically as she stumbled to my side and held onto my arm. She walked with me for support to the van. We loaded up inside and drove to the concert location.

Of course we had arrived a bit late, but my hazy friends didn't seem to mind that. They were chatting and laughing as we handed a nondescript person our tickets and quickly filed into the large building. Loud pulsing music already filled the hall and led us into the massive auditorium.

As we found our seats, Pour Some Sugar On Me started playing. The jeans clad-no shirt band invigorated the crowd. The first few seconds caused waves of shrieks and excitement. My group of friends turned to each other to freak out for a mere second and then started jumping up and down singing the lyrics. I couldn't ignore the overwhelming need to bounce around and head bang. The crowd was a sweating heavily intoxicated mass. The couple in front of me were making out and grinding against each other.
