Chapter 8 - The Oath

Rickey arrived at the new headquarters with Seth who was glaring at her. "I still don't understand why you went so far Rickey. You are definitely going to Hell now." Rickey rolled her eyes and tightened her ponytail while the walked into the building. "Look Seth, I broke The Oath a long time ago." Seth grabbed her arm forcing her to stop. She turned and looked at him annoyed. Silver eyes met hers and she reached up pushing a stray piece of his white hair behind his ear. She cupped his cheek in her hand, his grip loosening on her arm. "Seth...remember that I did this for a reason. We will get our revenge. Now let me go." she felt his hand release and they continued their walk. Seth looked at Rickey with worried eyes. He towered over her and was built like Rodrick. Tall. Ripped for days. Many found him attractive but he never returned anyone's advances. The Oath Rickey had mentioned kept him from it.

'I Name shall not partake in human luxuries. I will due my duty to protect humanity from those that wish to harm them. Demons are the true enemy and our goal is to erase them completely.' Words that don't mean much in today's world except to The Church of the Awakened. To Seth they meant everything, especially as an Angel. He was one of the founders of The Church and had been by Rickeys side since she joined as a child. He cared for her deeply and did not like the path she was going down.

Even if her actions were helping them get closer to their goal, he hated it. Rickey was an innocent sweet girl...and now she was a mess to him.

"Seth!" he felt a rough slap across his cheek snapping him out of his thoughts. "Ouch!" he glared down at his friend. Rickey laughed a bit. "Thinking about the good old days? They need our IDs." she motioned to the guards handing them her ID. Seth pulled his out of thin air making the guards tense up. "Go ahead and to the left. That is where the new recruits will meet their demons." the guards handed them back their IDs. Rickey placed hers in her wallet and Seth made his dissappear. They followed the directions they were given and walked into the conference room.

All eyes went to them as they walked in. "Boo!" Rickey said making a few jump before they realized she wasn't one of the demons. The chitchat built back up and the nerves grew. Despite all their training, working with a demon...anything could happen. "Rickey make me a promise." Seth told her while she poured herself a cup of coffee. "Sure my little angel. what?" she poured a crap ton of sugar and creamer into the coffee taking a sip. "If you find HIM...pray for me and I will find you." he kissed her forehead before sitting down in a chair not waiting for an answer. "Yeah yeah." she downed the coffee placing the cup in the trash. As she turned around a familiar figure walked through the door. Rodrick followed by Mith and a few other demons each approaching their partner.

Rickey smiled as Rodrick approached her, taking in his anger. She wasn't shy to admit that the events from a few hours ago had been fun. "Well hello lover boy. Are we gonna break this table together?" she winked at him. He approached her and raised his hand punching her, breaking her nose. "Bitch!" Rickey held her nose and let out a psychotic loud laugh looking at the blood as she pulled her hand away. Mith face palmed himself as all eyes went on Rod and Rickey. "...what a great first day..."
