His eyes glittering like gold, he stands there in the forbidden garden, holding her thin and tattered blanket. "Lucie?" He whispers, her name like fire on her tongue. It is not allowed to call out a demon's name, especially if the person is a mortal.

 But yet he sins. 

 She appears before him, startling him with bright fire for a burning moment, then it was gone. Only for her shining figure to float in front of him. Her red, fiery hair looks like it's floating in water, her skin was as pale as the moon, her lips black as the murky night, and her body was as thin as the stalk of a flower.

 "Aah, Ben. How nice it is to finally see you again." Her figure shifts, making her look like any other human. She wore a large grey coat, hiding her tail and wings. Her beanie covered the horns, just to safe. Her sneakers were old but inconspicuous enough to not attract attention from pests who decide to listen in on their conversation. Her pants were a jet black.

 Red faced, he smiles at her with genuine affection. He has fallen for a fallen angel. How lucky he is. And she has fallen for a mortal who will spend his everlasting days in Hell. How amazing he is to bear all the pain for her.

"Lucie.." He reaches out, then..

There was a shriek.
