The Dark Angel

Goodbyes

The Devil stands up and says: 'Thank you, you're so sweet and kind to me. You gave up your powers to save me.'
I weep my tears away and say: 'Of course I would. It's my fault too, I believed him.'
The Devil looks at me and says: 'It wasn't your fault, I envied you. I never felt sympathy or compassion for anyone. That's because I've been made this way. Please spread love and kindness around the world. I won't stop anyone who spreads love and kindness any more.'
I look at confused at him because did the Devil just say that? 'But what about this place? What about you, will I see you again?' I ask.
'If there are people who are against you, people who would spread hate. Those people I will send to Hell' the Devil says. 'Look around on your journey, if you see a man in a nice black suit with black hair. It will be me in disguise. I'll watch over you. I promise.'
I thank him and say: 'I know this means we have to say goodbye. Can't I just stay here?'

The Devil looks at me with a sad face and says: 'Sorry, it's just not possible. You're just too valuable for this place. You need to walk around on earth. You don't deserve to live in Hell and I won't let you! I'm going to miss you so much, but it's better for you.'
'I'm going to miss you too... Sorry I was such a pain in the ass' I say while a tear rolls down my cheek.
The Devil laughs and says: 'HAHA yeah literally sometimes. But we had fun together, you're a really nice girl and very cute too haha.'
'I have to go now' I say while wiping away some tears. 'But you have to take me I can't fly any more.'
'I'll fly you home okay?' the Devil says with a sad face. 'Hold on tight, we have to through the gates of Hell.'  The Devil takes me in his arms and flies through the gates of Hell to earth. 'Where do I have to bring you?' he asks.
'My last flight' I think. 'You can take me home, it's right there.'
The Devil nods and lands swiftly. He changes in his disguise. 'This is goodbye then' he says.

'I guess it is' I say.
A teardrop rolls downs the Devil's cheek. 'Goodbye, be careful.'
'Don't cry' I say and I weep away a tear. 'You will see me again. Maybe I'll burn down another house and go down Hell someday.'
The Devil laughs and says: 'Please don't, you are far too good for that'
I kiss the Devil on his cheek and he starts to blush.
The Devil changes back into his original form, looks at me and says: 'I have to go now.' He kisses me on the forehead and spreads his wings. He flies away and while I look to the sky until he disappears a tear rolls down my cheek. The sky is growing brighter and brighter until I'm blinded by the light.

The brightness disappears and I see a shadow next to me. Everything becomes clearer now and I see that the shadow next to me is my mother. She is holding my hand, I lie in bed. Wait what, where am I?
My mother sees me and she starts to cry. And she shouts my dad's name. My dad walks in too and he is also crying.
I look confused at her and ask: 'Where am I?'
'You're in the hospital for about a week now' she says. 'You had an accident while you went to school. You got hit by a car when you were riding your bike and you were unconscious.'
I remember that, but was everything that happened a dream? The Devil, the fight, being a Dark Angel? While I'm still thinking about my dream I see a doctor walking into my room. He looks familiar, he has nice dark hair. He asks how I'm doing and I answer a few of his questions. But then it hits me, it's him! It's the Devil, and he clearly sees I recognize him. He winks at me and tells me I can go home in about an hour.
I thank him and I fall asleep again. Knowing everything that happened was real and that I have a new friend.
