The Devils Son

9. Hell on Earth

  We just went back to the pent house and slept. He never said another word to me or me to him. I knew he was mad at me and I wasn't too happy with him either but sometime during the night he turned towards me and pulled my back into his chest and held me close, putting his face into the back of my neck.

   In the morning he wasn't there. I looked on the side table and there was a note that said "had to deal with something. Don't go anywhere".

  I walked down to the kitchen but there was no food anywhere, there isn't even cups. I walk back upstairs and go into the closet, putting on some ripped denim pants and a T-shirt. I walked to the bedside table on his side and there was stacks of money inside. Typical. I grabbed 2 twenty's and put them in my pocket then walked down to the front door. Beside the door is a spare key so I grabbed it off the hook and went down to the bottom floor. When I walked out to the street there was plenty of people walking around and down the street I saw a cafe.

  I ordered a muffin and an ice tea and sat outside enjoying the sun. What could Levi possibly have to do?

  "Where did you get that" I hear a lady ask and I look up and she is pointing at my necklace. I lift my hand up and hold it.

  "It was a gift" I say then try to go back to enjoying the day but she walks closer.

  "You stole it" she says and I look up at her. "How" she asks

  "It was a gift" I say, I then stand up and start walking away. How does she know what it is? Just before I am about to walk across the street I feel her grab my wrist and pull me towards her.

  "You will follow me and say nothing or I will break your arm" She says grabbing me.

  She led me into a building and took me to the top floor then walked to the stairs and went up onto the roof.

  "Who are you?" I say and back away from her after she released me out onto the gravel rooftop.

  "Where did you get that?" She says and points at my necklace.

  "If you don't let me go you will die" I say warning her as she steps closer.

  "Levi gave it to you? Why? " She says and walks closer. She doesn't appear to be angry but more curious now.

  "He will kill you if you touch me" I say as I back up into a wall.

  "Hmm... alright so you're the one..I know that he broke the rules for you, but now you have to go back" she says and reaches out to grab my necklace but as she touches it, it burns her.

  "What are you" I say as she pulls her hand away quickly.

  "I'm here to restore imbalances like this" she says. Is she an angel?

  Suddenly I see a shadow and it all happened so quickly but Levi flew at her and tackled he down into the gravel on top of the building.

  He stands and walks to me and puts his hands on my face and looks me over to see if I'm ok.

  "You can't play god like this Levi, you know I have to take her back down" the girl gets up but now she has big white angel wings.

  "Touch her and I will rip your head off, don't try me on this one" he yells and turns to her and stands in front of me, blocking me form her.

  "Why are you protecting her?" she asks walking closer.

  "I wouldn't have to protect her if your god was fair" he says and steps towards her.

  "God makes no mistakes, he always has a plan" she says and he attacks her. He punches her in the face and she goes flying across the rooftop.

   "Is she really worth it" she says getting up. Levi's veins on his arms go red and she falls to the ground hunched over groaning. She then stands up, still in pain, her veins in her wrists are glowing a very faint blue colour and she seems to be blocking his power.

  "You know I can kill you, don't make me kill you!" he yells.

  "You know I cant stop tell my job is finished" she yells back with sadness in her voice. She started to run towards us.

  A second later he was over to her and snapped her neck. She fell limp but he held her and lowered her to the ground.

  A moment goes by of complete silence when he pulls her lifeless body close to him and shuts her eyes then lays her down. He is still for a moment and does nothing. Everything is happening so quickly

   He then gets up and I can see a tear in his eye but he quickly gets rid of it and goes back to his normal face. He walks back towards me.

  "How did you kill her? I thought you guys where immortal?" I look up at him.

  "We can only be killed by one of our own" he says then looks up at the sky.

   "So demons and angels can kill you?" I ask

  "Anyone in my world can kill anyone, a demon can kill an angel just as an angel can kill a demon". He says and looks back down to me.

  "Who was she" I ask quietly.

"Old friend" he says then clenches his jaw

  "Why did you have to kill her?" I look over at her body.

  "Angels don't break the rules... she wouldn't stop until you where gone. There will be others" he says then starts walking towards the door back into the building.

  The door was locked so he kicked it back so hard it came off the hinges. He walked me to the elevator then across the street and back to his penthouse.

   "Will god be upset with me?" I ask sitting on the couch looking at him.

  "No" he says then turns to me. "He will be furious with me but it's not like that matters much does it"

  "Who was she Levi" I ask standing up and walking closer to him.

  "We use to be friends. God thought he could use her to bring me around but she knew me better than that so she told me his plan and I went back to hell. She disobeyed him for me" he says looking down at me. "It was the last time any angel disobeyed him"

  "I'm sorry" I say quietly.

  "There will be others" he says and puts his hand on my cheek. "Not all of them will be gentle like her. You can't trust them, they can hurt you for information" he says

  "What" I ask confused

"They might hurt you for answers about hell and how we can cross over, do not give them those answers" he says cupping my face. "To them you are already dead and your soul remains in hell so they won't treat you like they would a normal human"
