Demon of my Heartstrings

Nine: Questions

-Joy-

"I don't think this is a good idea." Zakary tells me once again.

"Hey you want to help her right? Well, the only way to help her further is to know more answers. The only way to get more answers is by getting Lucifer to talk." I explain to him once again.

"I get that, but he's the literal devil and he's been in a very bad mood lately." Zakary tries to persuade me.

"He's always in a bad mood Zak, he's the devil. Now go get him, your the only one who can." I tell him giving a pouting look now.

"I-ugh fine. If this doesn't end well, which it will then I'm blaming you." Zakary warns me as he teleports down in hell.

I smile in triumph as I always win against Zakary. I know dealing with Lucifer is very risky, now that he's the King of Hell but I'm also the Archangel of light. So I can protect myself from him, and I'll protect Zak and Brigid as well.

"Do you really think this is a good idea?"

"Huh?" I ask turning towards Brigid.

"I mean, dealing with the devil. The guy who made me into this-this monster? I don't think this is a good idea." Brigid tells me awkwardly.

"Everything will be alright. I promise. I won't let him hurt you again." I promised as I give her a warm smile.

"I think Zakary was right. What if dealing with the devil is a very bad idea?" Brigid asks worriedly.

"Pish posh! He might be the devil now, but he used to be an Archangel like me. He's my brother, or at least I like to think that he still is." I say looking away.

"He's your brother?" Brigid asks shock.

"Yeah." I say chuckling.

"How?" Brigid asks confused.

"My father, God created all of us which makes us siblings in a sense. Only the six Archangels were siblings though, the rest of the angels that came after us, we're simply "cousins" but they still called God father. It's the way father wanted it though, he wanted all of his angels to be his children. He wanted all of the Archangels to be siblings. So that's what we became." I explain to her remembering my past.

"So, if all of the archangels we're siblings then that means you have five siblings in a sense?" Brigid asks checking.

"Yup! Alastor is or was the oldest of us all. Then it's Michael; then Raphael; then Gabriel; then Lucifer; and then me. I'm sadly the youngest of them all." I tell her pouting.

"I think I remember meeting Michael. Yes, he was with us when we escaped Hell. So, he's the oldest now? What happened to your brother Alastor?" Brigid asks.

"I wish I knew. We were told that he tripped and fell, but that seems impossible. He's too smart to just trip and fall from Heaven like that. Gabriel believes that it was Lucifers doing, but father doesn't tell us anything. I lost two brothers that year, and it was so hard." I tell her upsettingly.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked." Brigid says looking away awkwardly.

"No it's okay." I tell her giving her a warm smile.
