      Maybe they can get along.

      After a long time of walking, Daisy sat down as she sighed softly, feeling tired. Israel stopped to look at her.
     "Tired?"
     "Yes." She nodded.
     "Never walked much?" He chuckled.
     "Oh shush." She blushed a bit. "I'm not used to it."
     "Oh sorry princess." He smirked. "We can rest here, but it'll be cold."
     "I have my wings to keep me warm anyway."
     "Oh, But I can keep you warm~" Israel smirked as he wrapped his arm around her and chuckled when he saw her blush and look away from him.
     "T-that won't be necessary.." He chuckled before looking out. "Are you okay?" She asked him.
     "Yeah. You said that this your first time out, right?"
     "Yes. I've heard a lot of stories about the outside world though. My father always told me to keep away from the gate and from Devil's Canyon."
     "There's a few good demons out there. But you won't believe me since I'm one." He said softly as he got up. "And don't say you do."
     "But-"
     "Shh. Someone is nearby." Israel said before he gently grabbed her and hid behind some bushes. A moment later two voices were heard. One of them Daisy recognized as the head angel from Golden City. What was he doing out here..? Israel looked at her before looking back as two figures came out.
     "Don't worry Lucifer. Everything is under control. And I'll make sure that little one is taken care of."
     "Thank you Calcifer. I already have her parents and I sent out that other angel. Once I get that golden flower and the staff then I'll be the real angel of Golden City." Lucifer chuckled darkly. "And as promised, you and your demons can go free." Daisy's eyes widened. W-what?? Lucifer was highly respected in Golden City and he actually wanted to take the place and make it his own..? What would happen to her parents..? Her best friend..? Israel growled softly as the two left and she got up before he grabbed her wrist.
     "Where are you going?"
     "I need to go back! You heard what he said."
     "You can't go back. They'll throw you out and call you a failure because you didn't complete the test. Do you want that?"
     "No.. But I don't want anyone in my home getting hurt.." She said softly as he loosened his grip.
     "This is why I wanted to get out and look. I didn't trust Calcifer from the beginning and this is proof that he and Lucifer are working together. But you can't go back until you have the flower."
     "I refuse to get it if he's using it for that. And how would you even understand?" Israel looked away before grabbing her hand and continuing on their way. She looked at him. Was he hiding something? Was there more to this that he knew about that she was unaware of..?
