Chapter 3 - Demon-Angel

"What do you mean you didn't do it?!" the Lord growled in anger while Damnetra and her dragon listened to him with their heads bowed down.

"She is just a child, what could she probably do?"

"A cursed witch child born to a human and a witch couple, and by not what destiny says you are altering the realities and the future of the universe! Now go back and bring her soul to the Gates of Haven before I take away those wings of yours!"

"Yes, my Lord." Damnetra cursed under her breath as she flew back searching for the witch child.

Down on Earth, in a lonely alleyway, a little girl was crying with her head hidden behind her knees as her arms enveloped her body.

"Why did you leave me alone...? How am I supposed to live now...? I am hungry."

"I hope you like pastries."

The little girl looked up from her arms, she spoke in a weak tone," You are that angel from earlier…my parents…" before finishing the sentence she began to cry again.

"I am sorry to hear that…would you like to eat this strawberry pastry? You must be hungry."

"Really? Can I eat that?" Damnetra nodded with a light smile.

After finishing eating the pastry, the little girl thanked the angel in front of her."

"Are you not scared of me?" Damnetra asked in a meek voice.

"Nope! We are witches, we have had a lot of angels visit us before…but I have never seen one with horns like you…oh! What is your name though? I am Sal Vacio`, nice to meet you angel!" Sal happily introduced herself.

"I am Damnetra, the dragon on my shoulder is Prima,"

Hello! I am Prima, a healing dragon."

"Nice to meet you too, Sal. As you can see, I have horns. I am a half-angel."

"Half angel?"

"Yes, I am a half-angel…and half Demon."

"Wow! You are so unique!" Sal exclaimed, surprised by Damnetra's description.

"Come, let's take you home."

"But my parents are not there anymore, who will take care of me…?" Sal said with a sad look on her face, her eyes beginning to tear up again.

"I will."

"What?! She brought the child back to her home?!" the Lord was furious upon hearing the report on Damnetra from his spy angel.

"We have been keeping an eye on her as you ordered. As said by her, she will be taking care of her from now on."

"That damned angel…Damnetra, you will regret this."
