Of Angels and Demons

Chapter 3:

Richie let Eddie lead since he apparently knew the way to the demon.

Bad choice.

"Oh come on, please? We can't just travel and not see places." Eddie complained.

Richie rolled his eyes, "Eddie. That's not what I'm here for. I'm here to find the demon, and return to heaven."

Part of him felt a rush of emotion, the same emotion he felt last night.

Guilt.

Not for denying the demon, but for what might happen after they find the evil demon.

He was sure heaven wouldn't be very pleased that he travelled with a demon, to find a demon.

They'd probably expect him to kill him, or force him back to hell.

Every time he thought of it, he quickly pushed the thought aside.

"Come on. Just one." Eddie continued.

Richie groaned, "If we do, do you promise not to cause anymore distractions?"

The demons' eyes brightened, "Yes yes yes, I promise."

Richie gave him a look. If there was one thing this demon was capable of, was lying.

He sighed, "Okay. What do we do?" 

Eddie snorted, "Well, we go inside, decide on a movie to watch and buy tickets."

Richie gave him a look of confusion, but sighed, "Okay. What, pray tell, are we watching?"

Eddie looked up in thought, "Hmm. I was thinking about this movie that just came out. It's about a group of kids that fight to take down an evil clown. Sounds like something similar to what we're doing, hm?"

Richie lowered his brows, confused beyond, "Evil... clown?"

Eddie laughed nervously, "Yeah. It's actually scarier than it sounds."

Richie gave him a look, but sighed, "Fine. Let's go. Get this thing over with."

Eddie grinned, leading them inside the building.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Eddie was almost sure the angel was bound to lunge at the screen, but it was later replaced by...

Was he shaking?

Eddie looked at the screen in time to see the clown lunge at a kid, followed by screams.

He could hear the arm rest squeaking as Richie's hands clamped down on them.

Eddie wasn't sure whether to laugh or be concerned.

He started to feel bad for him, that was a fact.

Taking a deep breath, he carefully edged his hand closer to the angels'.

He gently placed it on top of his, carefully intertwining them.

He expected him to withdraw, but instead his hand clamped down on his.

Eddie nearly jumped at the unexpected pressure put on his hand.

He focused back on the screen.

It was a good thing he was a demon.

 If a human tried this, bones would be breaking.

About an hour later, the two left the theatre.
