Ms. Kittenface’s Story
I sat in the small park, somewhere towards the middle of my small town, waiting. My dark tail wagged slightly at the prospect of who I was waiting for.
My ears perked when I heard footsteps clicking in this secluded part of the park.
Still sitting, I turned my head towards the clicking of shoes on the cobblestone pathway. Smiling on the inside, I went up on all four legs before jumping up .Midair I transformed back into my human form.
My short blonde hair flew every which way, almost reaching my red eyes which shined with joy. I ran towards the person who walked my way. I jumped into his open arms, hugging him, a smile on my face.
I eventually let go and looked up at him. His dark hair reached his shoulders, covering one of his bright blue eyes. He was a head taller, so he smiled down at me.
“ Hello Sklea.” He said still smiling at me.
“ Hey Drake” I replied cheerfully, grabbing his arm and continuing his walking. I finally noticed the sadness in his eyes and the feeling he was giving off that said he had something to tell me.
“ Drake,” I called “Are you okay?”
He looked down at me and tried to cover it up , “ Oh course , Puppy” He replied using his pet nickname for me.
“If you’re sure, Angel” Using my pet name for him, but that simple name seemed to hit a sore spot. He winced and tried not to look at me.
“I’m not.” He said after a while of silence.
“What?”
“ I’m not okay.” His head was now down in what seemed to be shame. I soon found out what was wrong. He released his wings, which he hid from normal people. I gasped and looked around to see if anyone was close. Satisfied we were safe, I went to scold him but gasped again. His once pure white beautiful wings were now a deep raven black. They gave off a sinister feeling instead of the usual calming and safe feeling I got from them. I took an involuntary step back, which he immediately noticed.
“I’m still the same man, Sklea!” He snarled, clearly hurt.
“H-how?” Damn, I couldn’t get the fear out of my voice.
He sighed, “The council of Angels. They” He paused looking at me. “They think you’re a Demon. They told me I must stop being anywhere near you. That you were changing me and I could change another Angel, because of you.” He sighed again, looking with a loving look. “ I told them no. That I loved you way too much for me to just stop seeing you.” He chuckled slightly “ They told me if I refused I was going against the laws. Well I told them where to stick the laws which didn’t help their decision to keep me much. So they forced me to become a Fallen. “ He looked away, now the look of shame back.
I stepped towards him, ignoring the feeling his new wings were giving me and hugged him, like I have never hugged him before, tears forming in my eyes.
“Oh god, Drake, I’m so sorry!”
“Heh, You know how I feel about you using His name in vain.” He chuckled.
I let go of him looking up at him in disbelief. He just became a Fallen and he still defended that jerk!
“ I still hold the same beliefs , Puppy. Like I said I’m the same man.”
I smiled up at him realizing he was still the man I loved. The man who gave up being an Angel for me.
What more can a girl ask in a guy?
I giggled slightly and reached out to touch the raven-like feathers. They even felt sinister.
I shivered before pulling him in a hug again. He still made me feel safe, even if his wings didn’t.
He laid one hand on my head, kissing it slightly, before pulling away and tensing up.
I looked up and saw him glaring at someone behind me. I let go of him for the third time that day and looked behind me.
Standing there looking satisfied, stood Lucifer. The first Fallen. His wings lazily spread out behind Him, making Him look powerful. His skin seemed to have a red tinge to it. His short black hair had that just-got-out-of-bed look to it with two small horns poking out of it. His red eyes looked at Drake smugly, before turning to me.
His eyes roamed and I sent Him a warning glare, though it was filled with fear.
“Hello Drake.” His voice seemed silky and had a sing-song tone to it.
“Lucifer” He replied coldly, still glaring at Him. “ What do you want?”
“You.” He roamed around us, sizing us up and liking what He saw. “You’re a Fallen now. So you and your mutt are coming with Me.”
I tried to glare at him again , but faltered when He sent me one back.
“Why would we do that?” Drake seriously asked.
“Because, one, I’m not stupid. You gave up Angelhood for her. I’m not going to break up you two if you would do something like that. It’ll only end badly for me.
And two, you’re now mine!” He hissed that last bit.
“The Fallen are mine, so you shall now live in Hell with Me.” He acted like this was nothing too serious, like He was asking us about the weather and not telling the recent Fallen he’s living in Hell.
“I- I…. No! I’m still an Angel at heart!”
He laughed . He genuinely laughed. Tears started forming from his laughing fit
“ An angel at heart?” He asked through the tears, “You just told the council to shove the laws where the sun doesn’t shine! How the Hell is that Angelic?” He eventually stopped laughing at looked at us with a satisfied smirk.
“ I refuse to go with you! That was different! It was for my Love! This, this is because you think I belong to you! ”
His smirk turned to a displeased frown and he sighed.
“ Fine, you clearly want to do this the hard way.” He snapped his fingers and several Demons surrounded us and we instinctively took a defensive pose.
He walked up to us, and I realized He was taller than Drake. He grabbed Drake’s face and forced him to look Him.
“One way or another, “ He hissed.”You will be mine” He let go and walked away, but not before snapping his fingers. At the snap, the Demons attacked.
“ Yet, you’re already mine. You just have yet to realize it.”
We tried to fight off the Demons but the sheer amount overpowered us, His last words rattling in my head, I held on to Drake for as long as I could.
But as fate would have, we were soon separated.
I awoke next to Drake in His throne room.
I crawled over to Drake, checking to see if he was still alive.
Thankfully he was alive and awake.
Both of us sitting up, we looked towards Lucifer who had one leg propped up on the arm His Throne and the other hanging over it.
He sat there, His face in his hand, covering his eyes, tapping his claws away on his leg, clearly thinking something over.
We both stood there not knowing what to do. We were outmatched and had no idea how to get out of here, barging straight at him would make little sense.
Eventually our patience ran out and Drake made a small 'ahmm' noise to get His attention.
He slowly lifted His head and started at us before smiling and hoping off of His throne. Walking towards us, He held His arms out. He had put His wings away so he only had the horns and the reddish skin that told he wasn't normal.
"Welcome to My home, lovelies!"
We stared at His abrupt change in attitude, bewilderment on our face.
He seemed to notice it and sighed.
"My,"He paused as if thinking up a word to use. "helpers suggested I be slightly more.... what did they say... Ah yes. They said I should be more considerate to your situation." He said the word considerate as if it was a curse.
I was the first to speak up after His revelation.
"er, that's all well and good, but how are you being considerate? You kidnapped us and are, at the moment, forcing us to live here!"
He glared at me, as if daring me to speak again.
"I now realize forcing a new Fallen into a brand new lifestyle is difficult." He seemed to be speaking from experience so I shut up instead of saying several things on my mind. " I mean it wasn't a picnic for me either, but hey we all forget how it's like to be young ,right?So I'm willing to ease up on you two." He turned away, so we couldn't gauge His emotions.
Did.. did Lucifer just apologize to us?
Or at least what He considered an apology.
Drake accepted it immediately, his Angelic virtues taking control."Oh course, It happens to the best of us."Drake's eyes showing care. " Just let us live up on Earth, I'm still an Angel at heart. I can't stay down here in Hell."He waved his hand around, showing this was no place for him. I stood there, still a little shocked at Lucifer's apologizing.
"Oh but of course."Lucifer's voice rang out, cutting through my daze."You shall live up there. I just need to you to sign this contract I make all Fallen sign. But this one shall be modified, to fit your needs." Lucifer waved his hand to his left and a contract appeared which, for some reason still unknown to me, we signed immediately as if complied to sign it without reading.
He smiled knowingly and snapped his fingers.
This time the snap returned us to Earth where we both collapsed on the ground of the park we were originally walking.
Gasping for breath, teleporting takes a lot out of you. I turned to Drake.
"This is all my fault isn't it?"
Darke turned to look at me as well and smiled lovingly.
"Yes, yes . It is your fault. If you didn't turn into a stupid wolf, I might still be an Angel and not working for the God damn Devil!"
The first time. The first time he used God's name in vain, was when he yelled at me.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at him still smiling, but it had turned sour. It was a cruel smile. One that didn't belong on his soft features.
"Drake... I.." I couldn't finish. He was right. He was a Fallen now because of me. I ruined his perfect life. All because of a stupid emotion.Now there was one more evil creature on this earths. I doomed thousands to pain. All because an Angel fell in love with me.
I don't think i ever cried so much in my life. I just sat there sobbing as he walked away.
"Shhhh,"Came a silky voice to my right, one I recognized immediately."You caused enough pain on this world. Come with me."
He broke me. He broke me and now he got both of us.
So I followed Him into the depths of Hell.
