Episode 5- They're Back

"Oh my devil", I exclaimed. I walked up to her, "How did this happen"? "I don't know, I felt a sharp pain in my back and when I looked in the mirror, they were back"! I didn't know what to say. "Satan they hurt... they burn"! "Well are you able to fly with them"? She stood up and spread her wings, groaning in pain. "Aah", she screamed as she flew into the air. Her eyes glowed yellow as she fell back down. "What do I do Satan"? "There's nothing we can do". "Can you try to put them away"? "She let out a quiet sob as she put her damaged wings away.

She hugged me. "What's wrong with me Satan"? I pushed her off of me, hugs made me uncomfortable. "I don't know Angelica... I don't know". I stayed there with her until she fell asleep. Now I have even more problems. I couldn't help but think it was my fault that Angelica was in pain. Normally I wouldn't care but with her... I can't explain it. Instead of sleeping I came up with a plan to heal her wings.

In the morning she came downstairs in just a white robe. "I guess you plan on staying home today"? "Yes, until I can figure out what to do with these wings". "I have an idea... but it's risky. We have to sneak into Heaven... well you have to sneak into Heaven"/ "Are you out of your damn mind? I was banned, I don't even think it is possible for me to return". "We're going to have to try". She hesitated before saying, "Fine I'll do it. But give me time to recover. Give it time for no one to expect it".

We waited four months and over that time Angelica became my best friend. She felt better than killing people, and that's a lot. We finally decided we were going to do it this particular day. "What if this goes wrong", she hesitated. I sighed, "Trust me". I walked upstairs to change. It was about 5 o'clock when we stepped outside. The healing powers of heaven should restore her wings. She groaned as she sprouted her wings.

"I love you Satan", she said, flying away. My heart sank. She... loved me? That couldn't be true. Was that really what she said? Even if she did say it... she doesn't love me... no one does. She only feels that way because she's spent so much time with me. Or is that why she loves me? Looking up into the sky, I saw Angelica coming down with healed wings. But she was... unconscious? I saw another angel coming down after her. It looked like she was going to blast her with a ray of light.

If that happened Angelica would be burned to a crisp! My eyes turned red and my horns and wings sprouted without my knowing. I grit my teeth and remembered why I was the devil of wrath. I pulled my spear from hell and flew into the sky. I threw it at her and it struck her heart. I got closer and reached for her halo, it burned my hand. "Dammit"! I grabbed it again and snatched it off. She turned gray and fell to the ground.

When I turned to Angelica, she was about to hit the ground. "Don't let me fall"! My chest started to hurt, knowing I wasn't fast enough to catch her. "I got you", I said, as she hit the ground. She coughed up blood. "Angelica... Angelica no". She body was starting to turn cold, she was dead. "I love you too", I said, holding on to her. "Why did you have to die on me? You were the only person who's ever truly loved me". I couldn't even go to Heaven and get revenge or I'd die.

Then it clicked. Angelica was banned from Heaven, so that meant she was in Hell! But who ruled over that domain... me! Looks like we're going back to Hell. I drew a pentagram with fire and stepped on it. "Devils staff", my staff flew into my hand. I hit the ground with my staff three times and woke up in Hell. "I'm here Angelica".
