Meeting My Angel

5

My aim was a bit off. Quite a bit off. I'm not sure where I am at all. My vessel is burned badly and my true form is as well. Even with my Grace, it'll be hours before I'm healed. Well, hours in Earth time. And I'm not sure exactly how Hell time works.

My true form is completely revealed, and so are the demons. I'm still a functional angel, so the second they see me I'm dead. This may not have been my brightest idea. Crap. A couple of demons seem to have noticed the light. I grab for my angel blade, not sure why, especially with my luck recently. I'm injured, noticeable, and weapon less in the pits of hell with no way to call for help.

I start just smiting the Hell-creatures left and right, but it only seems to bring more. So I begin running up an especially convenient staircase, which I would seriously worry about if I wasn't running for my life. I glance back for a second and when I turn back around there's at least 10 demons in front of me. Today is seriously not my day. I've killed about half when I feel that I can't anymore. I'm simply too exhausted and wounded to use any more Grace on killing. I knock a couple to the side and, being completely out of options, scream,

"Lucifer get your Hell-whores off of me!"

They paused for a second and I took the pause as a time to knock the rest of them away and continue up the staircase. I'm about to collapse when I see Lucifer next to me and go back to big sister mode, muttering,

"Hey there little bro." He turns to me and glares; I snicker and grin back as he teleports us back to his office or whatever it is he stays in.

Once I'm breathing properly he starts talking,

"You killed or injured about 100 demons down there."

"Yeah."

"And it wore you out?"

"My landing was a bit off. I was kind of charred."

"I presume you've already visited the others."

"Yeah. I always did save the worst for last."

"That's rude."

"So is trying to destroy Earth."

" I'm not. I'm trying to destroy humans."

"The main inhabitants of Earth. Heard of this thing called a food chain? It kind of crumples when you take out a factor. Especially an important one like humans."

"Just guessing, but you did not come here to lecture me about science, right?"

"Maybe."

"You came here for my plan. Well trust me, you aren't getting it."

" Are you sure that's why I came?"

"There's no other reason for you to be here."

"What if I just wanted to check up on you. See how the 'impending doom' thing was going."

"About as likely as me planting a daisy garden."

"Hasn't that happened before?"

"No. Those were sunflowers and it was a field, not a garden." I snorted in amusement and he shot me a glare.

" You ought to get a sense of humor."

"I have one. I might have an extra for you laying around." I feel that my body is healed enough overall to teleport again so I stand up, trying to get a better hold on my landing area. Before getting out of there, I state with as cold a voice as I can,

"Remember Lucifer. I am much more powerful than you and I am not on your side."
