Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck-

FUCK

I'M SUCH AN IDIOT F U C K

I booked it back to hell as fast as demonly possible to deliver the letter and flowers to the General (The Bouquet may or may not have been down a flower cause hey- I still needed something for Eliza)

Once back underground I flew straight to the Generals quarters. I burst through the door, panting heavily from the intense flying I had just done only to find the room empty

I quickly dropped the flowers on the desk and placed the letter nearby and scribbled my own apologetic note 

Delivered straight from Martha, she sends her best wishes

Once that was done I booked it straight to the cages, bashing my way through rock after rock to make sure I got there as fast as possible

Once there, I flew over to Eliza's cage and attached myself to the side, looking in at her

She was laying down in the corner like she normally did, but now that I was fully paying attention, I realized how sick she looked

The soft glow that had always accompanied her was now all but gone, flickering dimly in the dark underground light. She looked extremely pale and her wings looked like they were molting

I shook the cage gently to try and wake her up, but it didn't work

"Damnit please don't be dead-" I prayed to myself before trying again

Thankfully this time it worked,  and Eliza woke up with a groan

She looked over at me and immediately coiled away "L-leave me alone.. y-you've already done enough.." she croaked out

Her once sparkling eyes now seemed dull, almost dead, she look miserable which- I couldn't blame her

Damnit why didn't I think about this happening before-

"Easy.. I'm not gonna hurt you.. I'm getting you up to the surface" I said and started looking for the key which I usually kept on me

"Th-the surface..? B-but won't someone see me...?" Eliza asked and turned fully towards me, wincing in pain as a dull white feather fell from her wings and down into the pit below

"I don't care, I shouldn't have kept you down here for so long" I said and finally fished the key out from my bra

Hey they dont make pockets for demons, I had to improvise

I unlocked the cage door and flew inside, doing my best not to shake the cage too much

"Come on, I'll help you out" I said calmly 

Eliza shook her head "N-no.. j-just leave me be-" She said and wrapped her molting wings around herself

"Elizabeth if you stay down here you're going to die!! I'm trying to help you!!" I said and advanced towards her

Eliza backed herself further into the corner "B-but why?! D-demons only help themselves!!" She cried and I finally stopped

Selfish?? Us??
