Go to hell(?)

"Go to hell" he screamed at the girl sitting 2 seats away from him when she declined his offer of a drink.

"I can't," she replied with a small chuckle. He man looked at her with surprise and wonder. "I already went. Satan still has a restraining order on me."

The man's eyes widened, astonished, he asked her to explain further, thinking the woman was only drunk and delusional.

"What else is there to explain? If I was you and someone said Satin himself had a restraining order against them I'd be out of that place in a split second." She explained.

"Maybe it's the fact that I'm attracted to you, or its this vodka," he babbled with a slur, "but I want to take you home. I don't care who... Or more importantly at this time, what you are but I want you to prove it to me."

"You really want to know?"

"Yes." He replied.

"Okay, don't say you weren't warned. Come with me and this is your choice so if you die I'm not responsible." Then she grabbed his hand and lead him to the back door as best she could with him stumbling around from too much alcohol.

The couple went out the back door and into the dark and foggy alley. The atmosphere was eerie and the man began to shiver not from being cold but from the breeze of someone's breath on the back of his neck. He looked up from where he was walking to find the girl he had just met looking back at him, her eyes widened with fright and pity. She looked right beside his head and that was when he was certain it was something not of this world; or at least nothing any mortal had ever seen.

"Well, my boy hasn't ripped your head off yet, must be something different about you." The man stared at her, the look of fear still in his eyes but he seemed to relax. "Ya see, no human has come into contact with this thing and lived to tell the tale."

"What about you?"

"You can't tell? I guess you don't realize I've never had a drop of alcohol in the past 3 centuries."

"Oh..."

"Exactly now let's take you downstairs to figure out what the hell is up with you being so cool about all of this and why my hell hound here didn't bite your head off."

"Okay." And in that moment the woman turned around to walk into another building but froze dead in her tracks. There was an almost silent whoosh and she turned back to see the man had beautiful enormous pure white wings spanning about 10 feet across.

"John?"

"Hello Lucy, long time no see. You're the only fallen one Satan would put a restraining order on ya know?"

"Oh... Right" and she let out a small chuckle.
