As I watched the demon slide down to earth, her golden hair breezing past her face and tangling around her horns, I was in awe for the first time. At first, i just thought it was because she had somehow made it out of her cell and to the stairs without being caught. Later in life i would find out something different.
I ran home, eager to tell my mother what i had seen. After some time, I got her attention.
"Yes son? What do you want?" She said, not even looking at me as she rearranged the flowers.
"I saw a demon!" I say, estatic.
"Oh? Did you finally go down to the dungeons?" She said, picking up a vase to set on the table.
"No ma. I saw one go down the stairs!" At this she dropped the vase, making the flowers and water spill with a shower of glass.
She quickly hurried to the door, shutting it abruptly and then going to the windows and shutting the blinds as well.
"Tell me what you saw."
"This girl with honey blond hair rode down the banister earlier today." I said, suddenly nervous to tell her about the girl.
"Which set of stairs?"
"The one to the city that the humans call the big apple."
"You will go there, and you will bring her back. If she doesn't corporate, which i know she wont, kill her."
"Yes mother."
I walk out the doors to see the blinding light of my home, every marble building and diamond dome sparkling from the afternoon sun. I continue my small trek through the city to the stairs i had seen earlier that day.
I fold my wings in, well aware that my back has gained some tattoos that resemble my wings. I then take a coat, since i know it will be freezing down where the girl went, since it is winter.
I look at the banister, remembering the girl, her hair dirty, her smile blinding, her clothes torn and her feet barefoot. I remember the look of pure freedom and determination that was on her face. I feel a sense like a longing, wanting to see her even more than before.
I brush off the feeling and climb onto the banister, and before i knew it, I was speeding down the stairs to the human world for the first time in my 6 centuries of living.
