The women walked into a large building called SCQ Marketing, they greeted the secretary and headed towards the elevator.
"Have you heard about Cassandra?" Kira asked her with a mischievous grin
"Not this again, why should I care what Cassandra is doing. By the way, I don't care what she's doing" Deanna explains to her
"I heard she's sleeping with your man and has been doing that for a while now" Kira smiled at Deanna waiting for her reaction.
"My man, what are you talking about" Deanna getting more annoyed with every word coming out of her mouth.
"You know Mr Decon" Kira in a very quiet tone
"What eww, he's our boss that doesn't make sense. Wait, you haven't been telling people I've been sleeping with the boss have you" Deanna rubbing her head
"Of course not" Kira in a hi pitched voice
The elevator doors open up into the office. The office had lounge areas for workers to take breaks. A Library of sorts to the back where the computers are if you walk further down you'll see the conference room. Everyone had their station which they can personalise however they want.
The office provides its workers with an open kitchen on the higher floor where they can cook or store their food. Kira rushed out of the elevator heading over to her station with Deanna following right behind her.
Deanna grabbed her hand and spun her around. She looked into her eyes and what Kira saw paralyzed her. It was like she was sucked into a different plane of existence, she found herself in a dark room surrounded by fire. The fire took the form of Kira in her teenage years, she had a child in her hands. The flames shifted into a large apartment building, walking up to it was young Kira was met on the outside by an older man.
Kira looked as if she was trying to explain something to him but was turned away. In tears, young Kira ran and ran until she came to a bridge.
The flames turned blue as soon as Kira got there. She looked into the river of fire with tears then the vision ends.
Kira covered her mouth backing up into the darkness, tears ran down her face as she started to scream. In the background of her screams, someone was laughing and the aura of the void seemed to change. Kira turned around to see Deanna down on a throne with horns, molten wings and a broken halo. The halo had a black liquid falling out of it, each drop would immediately evaporate on contact.
"What are you?" Kira screamed
Deanna leaned forward with hands-on her cheeks smiling mischievously. She got closer to Kira the size differences truly showed. Compared to her Deanna was almost six times the size of a human being.
"Whatever you're thinking at this moment is probably is correct," Deanna said in a seemingly seductive voice.
Kira started getting migraine driving to her knees, the pain started driving her mad and her tears slowly turned into blood. Kira started pulling out her hair and grabbing at her throat, the laughter of Deanna echoed in the caves of her mind
She finally snapped back to reality in tears, Kira pushed Deanna away breathing heavily and confused. She checked to see if her hair was fine then turned to Deanna with venom, rushing up to her grabbing her by the collar.
The other office workers gather to see what's going on. Someone tried getting everything under control just to be pushed away.
"How did you know about that Deanna, who told you" Kira seething with anger. She pushed her against a wall demanding those answers. Her tears weren't blood but her migraine remained
"I know your angry right but you'd better get your hands off me right this second. I didn't know anything about that prior but I felt every emotion you felt" Deanna trying to calm the situation
Fearing what else she could do, Kira let her go
"You bitch, I know you're the devil aren't you. Ever since you came here you have been nothing a slut and a nuisance. Just look at your skirt length, you devil woman, your always looking for validation" Kira started spewing nonsense
"How am I dressed like a slut?. I'm dressed properly for work mind you, my skirt is quite literally past my knees. You're not even making sense at this point and I'm looking for male validation miss "I don't know how to do anything". I do my job extremely well that's why I'm still here unlike you. Because the only reason you're still here is that when you bend over everyone could see your grandma panties" Deanna snapped back
"That's not true everyone knows that you're a slut. Tell her Cassandra" Kira shouted to her
Cassandra looked at her and started fiddling with her thumbs trying not to say anything
"See this is why I don't like you. You always pretend to be everyone friends just so could behind their back and talk shit about them" Deanna rolled her eyes
Everyone in the office was there just watching them face off. In the back of everyone, someone clears their throat loudly. It was a man in grey pants with a light blue shirt and a dark blue tie, when everyone saw him they froze up.
"Come back to work everyone the show is over," He said clearing everyone in the area
Kira looked over to Deanna and whispered "Looks like your man came to help you" before walking away
Deanna looked at her like she was crazy. Then started heading over to her station to start work.
"Yo DD walk to me the elevator" He called after her
She exhaled very audibly and rolled eyes then walked over to him.
"You know I have a lot of work to get done that you've given me right, Decon" Deanna tiredly
"Yeah Yeah just walk with me would you" Decon with a smirk
Decon was a 6'7 handsome man with a light brown skin tone, he the northern star tattooed on his neck. His hair was extremely curly with piercings on his right ear, Decon's smile could make almost anyone feel warm on the inside.
"You are something else, you don't want another restraining order on you, do you. The last one you got slowed down business" he said
"That girl had it coming also that was in self-defence" Deanna responded
"You're lucky that was the case because trying to keep you here would have been more than impossible" Decon laughing
"Yeah yeah, what do you want from me?" Deanna growing more impatience
"What was that back there because that didn't look like a difference in opinion" Decon looking at her with concern
"It was just her being jealous of my beauty while she's a solid two" Deanna answered
"Just keep at that level ok DD" Decon pleaded with her
"Yeah yeah, you heard the rumours going around right. Kira was saying that we're sleeping together" Deanna explained to him
"Eww" Decon thoroughly disgusted
"Exactly" She agreed
"Well I guess it's good to cover for me," He said jokingly
"Literally everyone knows" Deanna annoyed
"I'll deal with this when I get back from this meeting okay. Also, I got you an assistant so enjoy that" Decon said
"An assistant" Deanna confused
"Yeah, you have been swamped with work so I thought you could use one. Also, I need you for some recon if you understand what I mean" Decon smiled at her
"No, I'm not doing that again" She instantly refused
"There's a bonus included" Decon smiled mischievously
"You should have begun with that" Deanna agreeing
They got to the elevator and Deanna saw her friend off
After their altercation, Kira headed to the restroom to wipe her tears. Still furious she stared into the mirror. Her reflection slowly faded away then the mirror turned black- the reflection of her younger self walked into the frame.
It touched the glass like it was asking her to do the same. Against her better judgement, Kira touched the glass. Her younger self smiled with tears and it spoke to her, it said: "I regret what we did".
Shackles flew out the darkness fitting around her neck and arms before being pulled into a fiery gate. The demon form of Deanna appeared on her throne smiling at her, Kira found herself getting agitated. She started cursing at the entity then started punching the mirror, the more Kira hits the glass, the harder the entity laughed.
The glass finally shattered after minutes of abuse. Shards of it stabbed her in hand, some flew slicing her all over her body. Screaming was heard and other female workers rushed over to try to stop the bleeding.
An ambulance was called and while she was being carried out Kira saw Deanna. When they locked eyes rage filled her.
"YOU CURSED ME DIDN'T YOU. TAKE IT OFF OF ME NOW, I DON'T DESERVE THIS DAMN IT. EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES OKAY I'D BET YOU MADE SOME TO" Kira screamed but Deanna just walked away.
Inside her head, she could hear that laughter as loud as possible followed by screams.
Her screams
In another realm, a ball of light flew a lake of fire. It reaches a large obsidian gate with pinkish gems sticking out of it. It was guarded by demons with multiple heads, they had a black robe with a silver belt. Their wings were leathery and bat-like, they had spears made out of a murky black substance.
"You're not scheduled to be here until tomorrow" They spoke in unison. They sounded like a broadcast being played on a muffled speaker
"We ended up switching the dates last minute," the ball light said
The demons shrugged and let him enter the gates, inside was an ever-expanding Kingdom, there were flowers made of fire but we still beautiful, azure coloured jellyfishes floated about the kingdom. The containment cells were next to each other in rows, the path between them was crimson with magma flowing through them. The surrounding areas had mountains with a similar crimson colour. It had magma falls in the distance.
To the centre of the kingdom was the castle, it on a piece of rock in the middle of a void. The light entered the throne room.
On the throne, itself sat this extremely beautiful man, he had darkened skin tone with long straight hair. He wore a low V'-neck shirt that was black, it showed his well-sculpted muscles. He had a choker that looked thorns, black jeans and boots.
"Michael you're here a day earlier than expected. It does matter we could still do game night" He said
"Lucifer I'm not here for the game night" Michael answered
"Can you take form please it's irritating for me to talk to you like that" Lucifer asked
"Oh, my apologies" Michael apologies. A bright light took over the entire room, he wasn't handsome as Lucifer but wasn't bad looking either. He had on a white robe and his hair was jet black.
"That's way better thank you now what is that you want," Lucifer asked
"I have a message from father" Michael answered
"How's the bastard" Lucifer rolling his eyes
"You shouldn't call our father that Lucifer," Michael warned him
"You're right I shouldn't call him that. How's the fucker" Lucifer said
"LUCIFER" Michael shouted
"What does he want" Lucifer gets annoyed
Michael collects himself and then explain his reason being there
"Your services are no longer needed. We are going to reconnect with the humans guiding them as we should" Michael said
"What does that have to do with me. Let's be honest they're still going to die anyway and most of them are coming here just based on their google history alone. So who's going to monitor them here" Lucifer complained
"He works in mysterious ways" Michael shakes his head
"Don't give me that bullshit. Explain what's going on here" Lucifer gets up from his throne
"If you don't vacate the throne I'll have to remove you by force" Michael threatened him
"You may have been ranked up to seraphim but that doesn't mean you're stronger than me," Lucifer said while he showed off his beautiful swings, they were white with black edges. He snapped his fingers summoning the lords of hell. Demonic energy in the room was so immense if a lesser demon or angel were to enter they would stop existing. They looked like they were ready for a fight "If you want me off this throne then you'll have to force me off"
Michael smiled at the declaration
