A demon!

The demon lie, his black wings splayed, his tail flicking and his claws kicking in his sleep.

Aphmau stared at the demon. She'd heard of them, but she'd never seen one until now. It looks kind of cute, all curled up like that.

The demon's eyes slowly opened, and he yawned, revealing his small fangs. He got up and flexed his wings, then turned around to find himself face to face with Aphmau.

"Crap." He said, slowly backing away.

"It's okay... I won't hurt you." Aphmau said, reaching out her hand. "I'm Aphmau. What's your name?"

"I'm Zane. And I'm not a babyclaws. You don't need to talk to me like that." Zane reached out with his claws and grabbed Aphmau's hand.

"Well, Zane... thanks." Aphmau said, helping Zane stand back up, yet accidentally pulling him on top of her. They fell, blushing.

"You're welcome... ?" Zane said, confused and flustered. He got up off of Aphmau, only for her to trip and fall on top of him. They blushed even deeper.

"For keeping me warm. Nights here are a lot colder than I'm used to." Aphmau explained, getting up off of Zane.

Zane blushed a light red and looked away, as if he wasn't used to receiving praise. "Oh. Well, you were shivering. Besides, I heard what you said about having a second sun. I figured the Aether must be pretty warm."

Aphmau laughed, and Zane blushed redder. When Aphmau calmed down, she wiped a small tear from her eye. She was about to say something when a blue and silver blur came out of nowhere and tackled Zane. At the same moment, Aphmau was lifted into the air via Emmalyn's BookWing magicks.

"HEY!" Aphmau yelled indignantly. Katelyn, who was previously just a blur, had Zane pinned up against a tree, prepared to rip out his heart.

"Aphmau are you okay?!" Emmalyn asked, slowly lowering Aphmau down to the ground.

"NO! YOU JUST ATTACK HIM OUT OF NOWHERE AND LEVITATE ME INTO THE AIR! IM NOT OKAY YOU IDIOTS!" Aphmau screeched, grabbing her sword. In one swift movement, she charged Katelyn, knocking her off of Zane. Aphmau then held her sword up in defense, her back to Zane.

"IDIOTS?! APHMAU, ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?! THATS A GODDAMN DEMON!" Katelyn screamed back. Katelyn charged Aphmau, and the two quickly became a rolling, tussling ball of kicking, slapping, yelling, dust and anger.

Zane got up and walked forwards, standing right next to Emmalyn. Their fued forgotten, the pair watched the fighting angels in silence for a moment before Emmalyn, always eager for knowledge, turned to Zane and began to pepper him with questions.

"You're a demon, right? What kind of demon? How'd you get out of the Nether? What's the Nether like? Are you traveling alone? If you're not, then who-or what-are you travelling with? How do you keep mortals from seeing your wings and tail and horns? Do-" Zane put his hand on Emmalyn's mouth, cutting her off.

"Let me answer, at the very least!" He said as Emmalyn removed his claws from her face. "First off, I'm just a Demon Royale. I escaped the Nether through a Nether portal. The Nether is a giant cave with soulsand, lava, glowstone, ghosts, blazes, zombie pigment, and demons. I'm not travelling alone, I'm travelling with my brother and a friend. My friend, Michi, has illusion magicks. Are you satisfied already?"

Emmalyn nodded. She was about to ask something else when out of nowhere, a gray and silver ball of pure, screaming fury shot out of the nearest tree and tackled Zane, pinning him to the ground. Emmalyn stared curiously at the imp who was screaming her lungs out at Zane.

"I CANT BELIEVE YOU! SURE, JUST GO AHEAD AND TELL YOUR LIFE STORY TO THAT BLONDE LITTLE MOUSE, SEE IF I FUCKING CARE! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SUCH AN ASSHAT?! HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF LOYALTY, YOU JERKASS?! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!"

"MICHI! CALM THE SHIT DOWN! AND GET THE NETHER OFF OF ZANE!" This yell came from another demon, this one with the same wings, horns and tail as Zane. This demon walked right up and smacked Michi. Hard.

"Thanks, Vylad." Michi said, slowly and clumsily getting off of Zane. Zane got up, his tail slowly lashing.

At this point, Aphmau and Katelyn stopped fighting long enough to see Emmalyn calmly talking to three demons.

"EMMALYN?! WHAT KIND OF BULLCRAP DO YOU THINK YOU'RE PULLING HERE?!" Katelyn shouted, untangling herself from Aphmau.

Aphmau got up and dusted herself off. She calmly walked over and joined in on the spirited conversation Emmalyn, Zane, Michi and Vylad were having.

Katelyn sulked, then finally got up and joined in on the conversation. If Aphmau could trust demons, Katelyn could do the same.
