Chapter 26 - 25

after school...

"you coming Alex?" Roxanne asked, Alex was reluctant to this whole plan "I don't trust this boy Roxy, he is bad news, how did he even find out about-" "I don't know Alex but he knows something, i must know more about this, this could be a breakthrough and I may not be the only one who can see the dead" she said as she continued to shove things into her backpack, including holy water "how did you-" "I made it a long time ago bud, sorry I didn't tell you, anyway I'm bringing this in case anything goes wrong" she placed the small bottle in her bag and placed it on her back "so, you coming" Alex growled before agreeing to go with her

the two walked through the woods to the creek only to see no one there "so, where's the boy at" Alex said as he stood proud next to Roxanne, his black hair laying in the wind as the tree's whistled, Roxanne looked down at her watch "he'll be here, we're two minutes early" she said to him, his face had worry and yet he tried to mask it with confidence to ensure that Roxanne would be okay, Roxanne chuckled before placing her small hand on his large claw "Alex, don't worry, I trust him, he won't do anything and if he does, I'll break his nose, I can handle this I promise" she smiled sweetly to him to ensure that she as safe, Alex relaxed a bit and smiled back at her "that's what I like to hear Roxy girl" the two then turned to the sound of movement from a pair of bushes, Roxanne stood still with a look of seriousness, a cold fist laid in her stomache as she saw Rodney slowly rise from the brush "you ready" Roxanne said in a flat tone , Rodney walked toward her, the wind still flaying the leaves on the trees around "yeah, i am" he said as he urged his hand toward her's, she accepted...

Crocell and Raguel were at the angels home for the confrontation of the demon locked in the iron prison "prepare yourself Raguel, this is a class A demon we're dealing with, are you sure you want to do this" Crocell asked the shaking angel "you only live once my dear, I'm ready for what hell may come" he said shaking a bottle of holy water and sage, Crocell nodded before pulling out the metal ball from his briefcase and placing it on a pentagram drawn with the blood of innocent animals, crocell then stabbed his finger with a needle and let it bleed on the ball, he then began to chant Latin...

Roxanne, Alex, and Rodney were all headed to the school, the sun was coming down fast so they didn't have much time "how would we get in, we kinda don't have a key" Rodney said "yes but you forgot, I have a D.B.F.F" "what the hell is that" Roxanne sighed "demon best friend forever" "aw that's sweet " Rodney said "shut up" they got to the school and of course, the front doors were locked "hey Alex, can you go inside and open the doors?" "sure thing Roxy" to Roxanne, she was only asking her friend for help but to Rodney, she was talking to the wind "im guessing thats your demon friend?" "Yeah, why, can't you see him?" she was confused now, she assumed that since Rodney knew that's she could see dead people that he could also see the dead as well, Roxanne sighed at her false hope "no, my demon told me you had a demon too" "who's your demon?" she asked, the door then suddenly opened before the too "thanks Alex" she said as she lifted her hand into the air "no problem Roxanne," Alex said as they high five, the three then began to look around the school for any sign of a demonic presence but so far, nothing "so Rodney, how did you meet this demon?" Roxanne asked "well it was when I was in first grade, I lost my way to the school so I tried to go back home but then I lost my way home, so then I decided to try and find someone who would let me use there phone but no one would, so then I just kinda decided to walk around the town until I saw a monster trying to eat a family of birds, I freaked out and told him to stop, he said he wouldn't stop unless I had something else for him to eat in which I gladly gave him my lunch, we then started to talk and became friends, how did you and Alex meet?" he asked "its a long story that I will tell you later, Alex's gots something," she told him, Alex was picking up on the scent of the other demon "he's not here, he's somewhere else" "where is he" she asked him "get on my back, we have to get there fast" he began to morph into a type of demonic dog "get on" he growled, Roxanne got on which confused Rodney "come here, he's going to take us to your friend" "your floating in mid air-!" she grabbed his wrist and forced him to sit on Alex's back "lets go Alex" Alex roared and took off running into the night in the most ungodly speed, Rodney held on tight to Roxanne's waist to not fall off "is he usually this fast!!" he shouted "no, he can go faster if you want!!" she shouted back as Alex continued to run through the cold, dense wood.

the pentagram began to glow a ray of orange as the ball began to float in the air and spin uncontrollably, the angel held the small bottle of holy water tightly "ANY SECOND NOW ANGEL, BE READY FOR ANYTHING!!!" Crocell shouted as a large fiery vortex began to form, the wind blew and roared at the two as Crocell continued to chant demonic phrases, the ball slowly began to crack which illuminated an orange ray, Raguel stared in amazement and horror as Crocell stood in the path of the twister of flame "CROCELL BE CAREFUL!!" "DONT WORRY ABOUT ME ANGEL, STAY BACK!!" he shouted as the ball continued to crack "THIS IS IT ANGEL, GET READY!!" Crocell's hair flayed in the air as he entered the vortex, ghoulish screams echoed in the vortex as Crocell reached for the ball, as he grabbed it his hand, the vortex was sucked into his hands which caused them to light on fire, Crocell screamed demonic chants as the pain grew, Raguel could only watch as his friend endured the pain before finally, the ball exploded and the fire disappeared, Crocell fell to his knees as thee iron pieces of the ball shattered but inside the pentagram stood a demon who wore a black tux and a black fedora with a pair of black and white shoes with gold buttons on the sides of the shoes, his hair had a thick curl in the front as the rest was gelled back "now angel now!!" the angel nodded before quickly grabbing the bottle and sprinkling the outside of the pentagram "NO!!" the demon shouted as he tried to escape the pentagram but the power of the water stopped him from escaping, creating a giant dome around him "NO NO NO NO NO!!" he shouted as he banged on the walls of the dome, Crocell stood up thanks to the help of Raguel and walked over to the dome "who are you and why were you with a human boy!?" shouted Crocell "LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, I FUCKING COMMAND YOU!!" the demon then grew large nails and began to claw at the dome "NOT UNTIL YOU ANWSER MY QUESTION!!" "LIKE I WOULD OBEY A MORTAL!!" "IM NOT A MORTAL, IM JUST LIKE YOU DEMON, NOW WHO ARE YOU!!!" Crocell was pissed and banged on the wall of the dome to claim his dominance, the demon inside scuffed at him and turned his back to him "YOU WILL OBEY ME!!" shouted Crocell, the demon growled at him before adjusting his hat "if your a demon, then you should know who exactly I am" Crocell's face twisted "what do you mean?" the demon in the dome chuckled "7,000 years ago, the great extinction of the dinosaurs, the great disaster" Crocell raised a brow "the destruction of countless areas of hell, the invasion of the angels as they killed thousands" "because of the help of a demon" "yes, the demon was never found" the demon chuckled "it was me, Tobias, general of the 14th army and master of the 5th area, tell me, do they miss me down there..."

it was 9 at night and yet Roxanne and Rodney road on Alex into the town, the lights lit the street but it seemed that the moon could out glow their rays, the stars were like a path for the group who were on their way to finding a lost demon or even worse, kidnapped. Alex suddenly stopped "what's wrong big guy?" Roxanne asked him, Alex, then uncamouflaged himself which terrified Rodney "someone has just made a ritual," he said before roaring in the air "HOLD ON, I KNOW WHERE HE IS, I CAN SMELL HIM CLOSER!!!" he shouted before charging off into the street still seeable to the human eye, Alex ran faster than he ever had while Roxanne and Rodney struggled to hangout "YOUR FRIEND IS HUGE!!!" Rodney shouted, "YOU SHOULD SEE HIM WHEN HE'S NOT A DOG!!" Roxanne shouted back before they came to a sudden stop "we're here" Alex said grimly, the two looked up to see a large luxury home with large vines growing on the outside "who's house is this?" Roxanne asked Alex "we'll have to go inside and see" the two got off of Alex as he morphed back into his demonic form which scared Rodney "whoa, he is big"

"Tobias..." Crocell echoed, he stared astonished "yes me, Tobias, I said that now will you please let me out of here, I told you my name now let me-" "WHY DID YOU DO IT!! WHY DID YOU KILL THOUSANDS OF YOUR KIND!! HOW COULD YOU?!" Crocell shouted, Raguel quickly ran to his side and started rubbing his shoulders "calm down I'm sure he has a reasonable explanation" he cooed trying his best to comfort his friend, Tobias looked away ashamed "I know it wasn't right but I had too, the dark lord was trying to do unimaginable evil and had to be stopped" "THAT'S NO EXCUSE!" Crocell said as he banged his fist on the dome "YOU DESERVE TO ROT FOR WHAT YOU DID, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!" "so he never told you" "told me what" Crocell's eyes now filled with rage "he was planning on dragging angels from heaven so they would become fallen" "THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS YOU-" "you would have to commit a sin and then jump off from the edge of heaven and that's exactly what he did" Crocell didn't believe this but turned to look at Raguel who was shocked "I heard rumors about that years ago, in fact, the most beautiful of angels -" "Belladonna was the last victim" Tobias said grimly, Raguel threw his arms and sobbed "she was the purest of angels" he sobbed, Crocell ran over to him and hugged him "its okay angel, I'm sure she lived a good life" "not actually" Tobias added, the two looked over at him.

the three were trying to find a way inside the house "how do we get in" Rodney said as he tried to climb up a window sill, Alex grabbed him and placed him back on the ground "we could go up through the roof he said pointing at a large hole in the roof "good idea, could you-" "gladly" Alex said as he morphed into a giant spider "get on kids" he said to them, the two got on his back as he began to climb the side of the house and quietly entering though the hole "this must be the attic" Roxanne said as she looked at the empty space "then all we need to do is find the latch that leads to the next floor" Rodney said as they began to search the place for a latch "found it" Alex said as he slowly opened the wooden door and slowly let down the steps "let go kids" he said as he led them to the ground floor.

"what do you mean" asked Crocell, Tobias glared at him but then softened his face "are you sure you want to know everything?..." he said with caution, Crocell was about to say no until Raguel butted in, tears still falling from his face "I want to know everything you know demon...don't leave out any detail," he said as he pulled up a chair and sat in front of Tobias "every detail..." he echoed, Tobias nodded at him as Crocell then sat next to him with also eager ears "well 7,000 thousand years ago the dinosaurs ruled the earth, this was the time for the almighty and the devil to plan each other's destruction after Lucifer had fallen, the devil wanted to mock the almighty by turning his most innocent of angels into bloodthirsty demon's, I was supposed to lead about 20 demons to the gates of heaven..."

7,000 years ago

Heavens golden doors

Tobias and his band of demons slowly approach the golden doors with no problem so far, their task was simple, collect the following angels then get the hell out of there "you 10 go to the left and then you ten, come with me" the two groups went to opposite sides of the heavenly cloud, Tobias led his group to some of the more deserted parts of heaven where the proceeded to walk amongst angels secretly where they proceeded to ambush their targets by tying their wings and throwing them of the base of heaven , of course they screamed but no one seemed to notice, to Tobias, this was his duty but that tiny voice inside told him other wise "you all will stick together, I will proceed alone, we will meet at the golden gates" Tobias said as he disbanded from his squad and continued alone, there were the majority of males that were all taken as scheduled but then there was one female, she was the purest spawn from god, a blessing from mother earth and her name was Belladonna, her life was like a living promise, to cleanse the world of evil and it was Tobias's job to get rid of that promise, he ventured through heaven to find this angel and once he did, his heart shattered "..." she was the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on, her hair was as black as deadly nightshade and her eyes as violet as lavender but her wings outbright any other he had seen, the purest being was but a saint in his eyes 'I-I cant do this' he told himself but his body said other wise, he rushed toward her with such speed and continued to bind her hands, wings and mouth, she tried to scream and plead for him to let her go but there was no remorse in the demons eyes...until he looked deep into her's, she was an innocent soul, never did wrong, who wanted to save the world from evil and here he is, destroying his chances of maybe one day becoming an angel "hey" he whispered in her ear "im not going to hurt you, I promise but I need you to promise not to scream, is you say yes, I will un gag you okay" he looked at her, she nodded slowly and in so Tobias un gaged her "what are you doing here, what do you want from me?!" she whispered loudly, getting ready to sob, Tobias quickly tried to comfort her "relax, I need you to do me a huge favor for the saftey of both sides" "why would I help you" "because I too want to cleanse the world of evil" he said to her, she looked deep into his eyes, trying to find a sign of lies but nothing "can you until my hands please, they're starting to hurt and my wings if you trust me enough" she asked politely, Tobias nodded and proceeded to untie her, she rubbed her rashed wrist and looked at him again as he helped to stand up "now what is it you need" in a swift motion, Tobias got down on one knee and bowed his head "please tell the almighty that hell is planning on stealing angels from heaven, the devil will turn them into mindless slaves for hell, my group and I have already taken about 19 angels and made them into fallen so I beg for forgiveness" he said with dread, the women got down on one knee and placed her hadn gently on his back "I forgive you, now run, run like there's no tomorrow, I will tell them I saw a demon enter and they will come searching, run like there's no tomorrow" she smiled sweetly as Tobias rose from the ground, smiled at her, then took off.

his group of demons was at the gate when they saw Tobias running toward them "RUN FUCKING RUN, THEIR COMING!!" he shouted as he got closer, the demons screamed as they saw angels charging after them, they jumped down from heaven and warped back to hell with their prisoners, the angels were wiped from their white feathers as they were taken to another part of hell, Tobias didn't get to see what the demons did to them but once the angels came out, they were nothing but mindless monsters who were fed to various monsters in hell and even to Lucifer, who enjoyed his feast with a large glass of fine wine but 3 days later, the meteor that killed the dinosaurs hit the earth and angels charged into hell, killing millions to thousands of demons but the one who led the battle was Belladonna, she searched everywhere for her captived angels but only found their clipped wings, she took them and with her army, rose back to heaven. she showed the wings to the almighty where he turned them into stars to mark the battle of vengeance was truly won. the devil was furious with this, one of his own demons had betrayed him but which one, which one would dare go behind him but instead of questioning every demon in hell, he personally went to heaven with his large wings and kidnapped the one who led the army of angels to hell...Belladonna. she was carried to hell in a bridal style in the arms of the devil and placed in a cage above hellish fire "who told you about the angels kidnapping!!" he shouted at her, she refused to say a word "I'll ask again" he said politely before he then slammed his fist on the bars of the cage making the innocent angel squeak "WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THE PLAN!!?" the angel stood up and glared deeply into the eyes of the devil "I WILL NEVER TELL YOU, I SWORE BY OATH!" "THEN YOU SHALL SUFFER!!" he shouted in her face as he grabbed her by her hair and dragged her to a torture device where she was strapped down by her wrist and legs, the devil smirked at her, then lent down and whispered in her ear "I'm going to do things to you that would make god scream" Belladonna whimpered as he then grabbed a case with dozens of medical tools along with meat cutting tools, Belladonna looked at him with pleading eyes but was ignored

(people, this is where shit gets gory. this is a warning)

Lucifer smiled at her as he tried to pick which knife to use on this unfortunate angel "you know, I used to be like you..." he said as he grabbed a large carving knife from the rack "I used to be an angel...I used to be the right hand of gob himself, I was his best friend" he drew the knife close to her face "I was loved by everyone, they cheered for me...until I fell...and do you know why..." he then lightly placed the blade on her cheek "because-" he then started to laugh hysterically "I WAS BETTER THAN HIM!!!" he lifted the blade to the air then with all his might, stabbed the girl in the cheek making her scream in pain "I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT!!" he said with a stab to the leg "I WAS PURE OF THE PUREST!!" stabbing her leg again "I WAS THE ANGEL WHO WOULD CHANGE THE WORLD!!" he then stabbed her other leg "I WAS GOING TO BE A GOD BUT NOW I AM, THE GOD OF EVIL!!" he then stabbed her leg again but instead of bringing it back up, he slowly began to drag it down within her skin "THE GOD OF PAIN!!" he did it again but this time, much, much slower, blood pooled out from the women leg as she continued to scream "NOTICE HOW YOU SCREAM IN PAIN, THAT PAIN WAS MY PAIN!!" he then grabbed her other leg and sliced off pieces of skin, the women screamed in horrible cries, her eyes wild and her mind breaking from the pain "THE WAY YOU LOOK WAS THE WAY I LOOKED!!" he then grabbed the now visible bone in her leg and began to stab at it "DO YOU FEEL THAT PAIN, YOUR PAIN WILL NEVER BE AS GREAT AS MY PAIN FOR YOUR GOD AS FORSAKEND YOU!!" he then ripped out her leg bone which released the most horrible scream that rang through hell "but I'm going to do so much worse to you, my replacement" he cooed as he took his hand and slowly snaked it to her inner thigh "I'm going to show you who your true god is" the women shook frantically which caused the devil to fall off of her, he roared before grabbing a butcher knife and grabbing one of her wings , she stared at him "please...please not my wings..." she sobbed, The devil laughed before roughly grabbing her wing and began to roughly rip feather out, she shouted and begged him to stop be he wouldn't he was having too much fun, blood dripped from where he pulled her feathers from but once all the feathers were gone he grabbed the two wings, she chocked on her tears as she looked up at him "I'm sure you know what I'm about to do" "please dont-" she was cut off by the sudden painful feeling in her back which made her let out an ear piercing scream, the wings wouldn't come out so what Lucifer did was hack at them with a butcher "YOUR WINGS WILL LOOK LOVELY ABOVE MY FIRE PLACE!!" he said as he continued to hack, blood splattered everywhere along with tears of the angel "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!!!" he cackled "HE'S PROBABLY EATING POPCORN WHILE WATCHING YOU SUFFER!!" he then with one final pull, torn the wings out from her back, she stopped screaming and began to cry pool after pool of tears "your a monster Lucifer, an evil monster who belongs down here" she sobbed weakly, the devil chuckled at her pain and admired his work, blood continued to pour out of her along with pieces of flesh that hung onto her body "you know, this is actually my best work i've done" "please, take me home, let me die home please, do me that one small merciful act and take me home to die" she said as she coughed out blood "then tell me, who told you about my plan" "i-i" "yes?" the devil drew close to her who then looked away from him "I swore I wouldn't tell" she cried, the devil gently grabbed her by her chin and made her look at him "if you want to go home, you must sin" "then-I can never go home" she cried again, the devil roughly grabbed her by her hair "then you will die here like your fellow angels did" he un locked her from her restraints and proceeded to take her to his bedroom where the angels once innocent mind, was snapped in two.

angels from heaven charged into hell to rescue Belladonna but it was too late, she was dead on the Lucifers bed, naked, stripped of her wings and cut open, the angels tried to carry her lifeless body from hell but because she had sinned by having sex with the devil, they knew they would have to leave her but to show some kind of mercy for the angel, the doused her in holy water and then dropped her into the flames of hell, Tobias found out about Belladonna and fled hell where he then proceeded to live on the surface of the earth where he survived off of rats and what other creatures he encountered until times changed and humans began to populate the earth so he began to adapt and live amongst them

"so...that's the story" Tobias said to the two, Raguel sobbed at finally knowing the truth of what happened to his fellow angel, Crocell held him close trying to shield him from reality "did he really do all of that to her, did he..." he stared at the demon trapped in the dome "I'm sorry, its all true "so all this time, you hid because-" "I felt guilty for what happened to her" "but why was she cut open after she was-" Raguel stopped in his words "raped, some said because Lucifer had a sick addiction to organs but other said because he had gotten her pregnant and ate the child" Crocell looked up at him "so Belladonna was pregnant with satans child" "I'm not sure, it was a rumor I heard" Crocell turned pale and so did Raguel "what, why so white, too much blood to handle" the two looked at each other then back at Tobias "the anti christ is walking amongst us" said crocell "so then-holy shit that's means-" "either there was some kind of ritual that I was not told of or Belladonnas child walks this earth" "but that's impossible, how would the baby last this long!!" "we are fucking demons for crying out loud, anything is possible if the devil is put in charge" Crocell told him gravely "but who is it, do you know?" Tobias asked crocell "its a 15-year-old girl and she goes to the same school as the human you were with" just as he said that noise from down their hallway, Crocell jumped up and pulled out a knife "who's there, show yourself" he growled lowly but was surprised to see Alex "Alex, how the hell did you get in here," he asked
