Day 6: Deals With A Demon Are More Heartbreaking Than A Deal With The Devil

It came as a shock to how easily John accepted me. I except more of a fight for the truth than that.

Right now John was silent. He sat on the foot of his bed, listening to my story, how I came here, why I stayed, and the people after me, i even told him of the battle between the Dammed and the Terrorizers.

"What separates them?" He asked.

This was perect. Just a gentle conversation with my loved one. I sat on his chair in front of him so we were facing eachother.

"Dammed are born and Terrorizer are made." I shrugged. "Terrorizers are more unstable to be honest."

"Since Demons exist, do Angels exist too?" He asked. He was like a little kid asking his teacher mindless questions with such curiosity. I smiled.

"Yes, but not all are as pure as you might think." I chuckled a bit as i ran my fingers through my long brown hair. "What about Guardian Angels?" John asked, his chin resting on his fist.
"Yeah, Lafayette's Guardian Angel is the only angel that I've actually had a stable conversation with, and your guardian angel was a fucking asshole."

John laughed at me, and i was thankful he didn't ask me about who is guardian angel was.

"Since i don't happen to have an angel, does that make you my-" He trailed off. "Guardian Demon? Yup'" i made a popping sound with the 'p'. He seemed. . . happy with my response.

Finnaly, as I looked out to the almost darkening sky, i felt it was time to tell John why I would be gone tomorrow. . .

"John." I said to get his attention. He perked up and smiled. "Yeah?"
I let out a sigh before continuing, "John. I love you. Remember that okay? Because, come next morning I will be reduced to a pile of ash."
He looked confused and a bit frightened. "Wait- you're leaving me? How? Why?"

I stared at the floor. My hand held onto John's knee. "When a demon goes into the world of the living, he has 7 days to complete his task, if failed; sunrise on that seventh day, the demon will be no more." I gulped, "Today was my last day of life, if you could even call what I have life . . .and John . .  .I'm glad i could spent my last few days with you."

After a while I saw droplets of tears hit the floor. John was hugging himself, his eyes closed, but tears were escaping. "P-please Alexander, Alex, i- i can't loose you, i lost Mary, please I need you!"

His broken voice broke my non-exsistent heart.

"I can't." Was my simple answer.

I felt my own wet cheeks. John wiped them away, he held my hands and kissed them. "I'm gonna miss you, i just wish. . ."

I nodded. "I'll miss you too, my love."

Somehow we ended up kissing. It tasted salty with tears, but i didn't mind. We huddled close together on his bed, the blanket over us. He hugged me tighter by the minute.

"You were worth everything, John Laurens. " I whispered in his ears.

2:47 a.m

Five more hours. So close yet so far. I couldn't sleep of course, so I sat up in John's bed, John himself was in a deep slumber. I kissed his forehead. He was so precious and adorable. I love him. Oh devil i love him so much. I would die for him, which i was.

I heard sound coming from outside and i was scared if it would awaken my John. I went to take a look with my demon form.

Outside of John's house I saw a shadow behind a tree, along with a soft giggle.

With a growl I pounced on the creature. There was only a short yelp beford the creature said, "Wow, i didn't think it would be this easy to get you ontop of me."

I got off to look the creature's face. It was a Terrorizer, but a female one. She had dark skin and long curly hair, her eyes were a pure black. Her clothing was dark and seductive. A black and red crop top and a very short black short.

"I know who you are." I spat.
"Do you now?" She giggled a bit.
"Angelica the Angelic, the worst of your kind, you lure men for sex and kill them, sometimes woman as well."

I raised my wings to look more intimidating.

Angelica only snorted, "Oh please, put those bad boys away, though they are surprisingly large, I'd like to see something much larger." I caught her eyes glancing at my crotch. She licked her lips.

"Get away from me Terrorizer, why are you even here?!" I barked. She looked at the watch she had one and smirked. "Buying time."

I raised an eyebrow at her, "For what?"

"For my dealer, hope you said goodbye to your human." She waved her fingers at me and dissapeared.

John.

Without a second thought I expanded my wings and flew as fast as i could to the room. I frantically scanned the area. "John? John!" I yelled, my whole body swelling up with fear.

I saw the bits of light coming from the bottom of John's bathroom. With that I felt like I couldn't move for a minute. I quickly snapped out of it and ran.

With a powerful slam, I opened the door to see John next to a bottle of pills.

I let out a scream of fear, anger and regret. How could i have been so careless as to leave him alone? 
On my knees now, i crawled tochis body muttering words of denial. This couldn't be happening. Not to my Johnny.

I closed my eyes and hoped for him back. But alas, no one but the Devil had the ability to bring back the dead. Demons and Angels could prevent it, but to rehabilitate a soul? I felt so useless. I felt so lost.

With my eyes still closed I could feel a holy presence. I turned my head upwards to see a raven haired woman in white. I glared, "You."

"It's been a long time, Alexander." Elizabeth curtsied. She had the nerve to curtsie at me.

"You fucking whore, where the hell where you when John needed yoh most? Where were you when John almost committed suicide? Where were you when he was going though all this fucking hell? Hmm? Out with that boyfriend of yours?"

She didn't respond for a moment.

"Your friend Maria was just here. . . thought you aught to know " She raised her hands, and with a flash of white she took John's soul. She ignored my questions.

As much as I wanted to tell at her, i knew she was the one taking John to a better place.

I dropped the vessel in which previously held my John and stood up. "Where do your souls go?"

Elizabeth looked at me with a plain expression. "To heaven. is that all?" She turned to leave, but i held onto her sleeve.

"Wait!. . . .just. . .just take good care of this one." I pleaded. She looked me up and down before nodding. "No worries Al', i will. May i ask what are you planning to do? I've heard the rumors of your loved human, not that he's gone what will happen?".

I walked out the bathroom and Elizabeth followed. Outside the night was still dark, but we both new sunrise was upon us.

"I'm going home."
