ROLEPLAY HQ - damned

this wasn't how it was supposed to be. I wasn't supposed to fall, no! not like this. I never intended on falling. I am a child of God. The Man in the sky. I devoted my entire life to him, and helping others, so why didnt you trust me when I said I wasnt involved in those shady actives that fallen angel did. I thought you were forgiving, the mortals tell stories of you. "repent your sins and you'll be forgiven" is what they say but does that only apply to them? I pleaded my case to you. "I was only helping! I was trying to show them the light and they casted me in the dark, please father forgive me!" I said by you didnt.. why didnt you forgive me? I was telling the truth, I knew you knew but you didnt forgive me. Why does the act of sins apply to humans but not angels? why do humans get so many chances to be forgiven but we dont. I had so many questions as I fell, to the human world it looked like a meteor passed the night sky only for it to be an angel casted out of paradise. I landed harshly in an open field creating a creator. I was injured, my wing, broken, my face, covered in dirt, my legs and arms as well with some bruises. It wasn't a pretty landing. I coughed as I managed to stand up and get a look of my surroundings not knowing you were hot on my trail. "Earth" *I say as I collapse back down in the dirt tears streaming down my face. Why... why did it have to be like this? @untilthenewera II please tag me after each response you make ty II

"Another one for the count." This one seemed extra easy, God must've been pissed. I was already moving towards the estimated area when they gave the alarm. I was trying to beat another guy today, he was at 5 and I was at 6, and here was my lucky number 7. I couldn't help but think about how I would do it this time. Easiest way would probably be to off 'em and feed them to some animals, the scouts indicated it was somewhere in a field, but they always try to go to a shelter, especially if it's a church. That's the thing about angels, all faith and no common sense. This was going to be an easy mark for sure. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

I would have smelled your foul scent nearby. A demon. I knew it as I would get up and crawl out the creator I created and began to limp away creating a distance.. so when you approached the creator it would empty, but little did I know the wing that was broken and bleeding was creating a blood trail to my new location. I arrive at a fairy tree, a beautiful tree home to many faries, this one however, seemed to be lifeless as the once pink glowing leaves where a dull grey and no faes to be around. perfect! as I would walk into the tree and hide myself away in a corner, starting to heal myself with what magic I had left. I felt my aura changing almost effectively and I didn't know how to react, my first thought was heal myself and deal with the other issues later. @untilthenewera

"Mmm... angel blood." I arrived to the crater and found it empty, but the beginning of a blood trail gave me the exact notions I wanted: This angel is injured, and they're leaving me bread crumbs. A little bit of this victory was sour, because I'd have to come back and clean this, but that would be a spec of dirt on this otherwise perfect setup. I began to quickly pursue the trail, attempting to keep silent as I approached what appeared to be a tree of some sort.

I was too busy healing myself to even notice to where around. All I knew was you were close and it would have been a matter of moments before you found me but all I could do was pray. Pray to the man who betrayed me to keep me safe. To keep me afloat and not found. As I continued to heal myself I found myself strong.. ish enough to get up as I did.. this will do for now as my wing stopped bleeding that was the goal as I would begin going deeper into the tree exploring trying to find good areas to rest .. Not knowing you were already here @untilthenewera

As I circled around the tree, I could hear someone moving inside of it and all I could do was smile. "You're already injured, Angel. Don't make this harder than it has to be." As I say this, I prepare to enter the tree and pursue you to whatever corner you choose to die in. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

My breath drew heavier hearing your voice. The cold chilling voice, the one of the damned as I shudder in disgust and fear. I’d cover my mouth to stop myself from hyperventilating and from you being able to hear as I quietly whimper looking around for an escape. As I’d get out my hidey hole and move onto the next.. again.. and again until fuck! I reached the last one where nothing but bark was blocking me as I turned around hoping you weren’t nearby as I summon the only thing I could at this time. My holy flaming sword, the very one Gabriel wield @untilthenewera

At first I was sure that this Angel would've died naturally at first, but as I rounded the corner, my eyes were immediately drawn to a bright beautiful sword, dawned in white divinity, wielded by the angel I had been hunting down. "We meet at last... Angel." With this, I pull out my trusty pair of twin daggers, the words "RED" and "DEATH" etched into them respectively. The blades glowed with an ominous red hue, nearly contending with the white light that brightened your foreseeable grave. "I'm actually impressed... haven't seen a fighter in awhile." I slowly step towards you, the red glow swallowing the space behind me as if it was a void. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

I would looked at you, my blue eyes widen seeing you take out the pair of twin daggers. I wasnt expecting an actual fight "w-wait I-" I would stop myself as I would watch you step towards me id grip my sword tighter as I wasnt planning on fighting you at all.. the red and white tint meeting in the middle lit the room up slighty as I would force myself to step forward as well "p-please dont hurt me" id beg "you can change..." Id say lowering my weapon as youd see my face, it was slightly bruised, a knick on the left side but none the less, flawless and innocent looking @untilthenewera

Something felt... wrong. Usually this angel would be dinner for some animal by now but something was gripping my chest, almost like a barrier put in front of her that my body could get through but my mind could not. What was going on with me? What kind of spell was she casting on me? I needed to defend myself. "Whatever dirty gimmick you're using to make me overthink this, drop it now and I'll promise you a faster death." I couldn't even bring myself to move towards her. What is this hesitation within me? You damned angels are nothing but targets to me! @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

I would softly whimper as I’d lower my weapon completely and there you say my face. It was beautiful damn near perfect of it wasn’t for the minor scars and bruising that was slowly healing on its own “I-I don’t know what your talking about!” id exclaim moving slowly towards you but halted hearing you say it would be a faster death “I-“ id whimper again softly staying a distance we were about a good foot apart as I stared at you “p-please don’t kill me..” Id plead my voice filled with sorrow as I stare at you tearing up id reach my hand trying to lower your weapon, my arm shaking but it had to be done I didn’t want to see your weapon anymore @untilthenewera @untilthenewera

I stood there in awe. I couldn't bring myself to move. To act. My body screamed in bloody aggravation to slaughter this being, but my mind found itself shrouded in conflict. This angel is supposed to die. By my hands. Now. Kill her. Now. Go. Move your knife. Move your body. Do anything. But nothing occured. All I could bring myself to do was allow the angel to lower my hand, bringing my weapon next to it's sheath as I felt my whole body run cold. An angel's touch. Soft, gentle, nurturing and comforting as a mother's love. But I'm supposed to kill her. I can't. I have to, but I can't. I sheathe my weapon. "I won't... I won't kill you. I don't know why... but..." I trail off, trying to understand what is happening with me as the last notion to kill you dies first.

13:18

@.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

I would gasp softly as you allow me to touch you and bring your weapon down as I did and immediately moved my hand back away from you. I stare at your with pity and sorrow as I listen to your voice trail off. You seemed confused on why you couldn’t even do your job right as I chime in “Thank god” id gracefully say putting my hands in the prayer gesture as I bow down to you in grace and lifted myself offering a hand to you as I introduce myself “My name is Aloy..” @untilthenewera

What. The. Hell. Did this angel just introduce herself to me? When I was going to STAB her? That is the most ridiculous thing- "Ronan." Aaaaaand I told her my name. Way to fucking go Red Death. Can't kill her, and now she has something to track you down with. Excellent job. I hesitantly put out my hand and softly grasp yours. "Uh... nice to meet you?"

16:09

@.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

I would snicker, not like I knew who you were anyways. For heavens sake you made a name for yourself in heaven. All the angels talked about you, so only to meet you was surreal and yet scary? “A- I knew that already” Id lower my hand “the red death” id air quote “you made name for yourself in heaven, all the Angels were on their toes when they came to earth in search of souls..” Id say as I began to back up.. I wasn’t done escaping I just needed to distract you and this was the only way to do so. Act kind, it was in my nature afterall.. and you fell for it. Sorry! I knew I’d apologize for it later and I definitely will— but you were so hesitant and helpless.. and I valued myself so I’d summon my blade and slash your knee and began running for it as my weapon disappeared “I-I’m sorry!! I’m so sorry!” id shout my voice was sincere however as I’d round the corner and began to find the exit to the tree @untilthenewera

Huh. The slash in the knee burned like a thousand suns. That definitely wasn't the real one, or I'd be dead right now. But I couldn't help but smile. Now I have no hesitation in my body. As I stood up I took a step but found myself limping, that'll teach me to hesitate ever again. Not bad, Aloy. Now you're done. I began limping towards where you went, following the trail of blood as my body began to slowly heal. I'm killing this angel if it's the last thing I do. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

I would make a few fast lefts- and rights eventually finding the big exit in the tree. I’d exhale catching my breath slightly. I knew I didn’t have time to wait. But I also knew that wound would take you decades to heal. The only way to heal it was from an angels touch. I gaze back to see if you were behind me, luckily you weren’t as I’d make my escape leaving the tree running into the forest and stopping at a smaller tree far from the fae tree to fully catch my breath. I’d lean huffing and puffing as id wince feeling the sharp pain on my side from all that running. I’d look down to my body, thank god my wounds were healing faster, it was a good sign, by the time I ran out the tree my face was fully healed. Now it was the matter of my wing. As I gazed back to to it unsure how to fix it. That’s a later issue Aloy. As I look ahead. Where to run and hide next.. I knew I wasn’t your only target. I knew there also was other demons on the prowl for me so I had to lay low somewhere until the demons forgot about me. @untilthenewera

Why won't this damn wound heal already... It felt like it was healing, but then it would stop. Then heal just a little, then stop again. I continued limping, but I wasn't going to catch her at this rate. I had to figure something out. I kept going forward, forcing myself to keep at least a jog, but it was excruciating to continue. By the time I got to the exit, the blood trail was thinning. Fucking angel healing... I'm going to have to track her down to get this healed anyway. I took a moment to take a breather, the pain was starting to get to me pretty good. It was the perfect motivator. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

I felt your weakness.. the aura around you grew thinner and thinner like you were on the verge of death. I felt awful about my mistakes but I had to put myself first. I’d gaze back seeing you in the distance you eyes filled with hunger and rage ready to kill me the moment you put your dirty hands on me. I’d stare at you. You looked like you were in pain. Tired Exhausted. But that didn’t stop you from continuing. I was hesitant on even running. I hurt you, and I needed to heal you but apart of me told me to leave you be. As I heard a voice echo in the distance “I found the damn Angel get her!” as another demon would appear swooping down and grabbing me as I’d scream in horror being held by the demon but the demon covered my mouth to. Prevent me from speaking as he’d lower his head whispering in my ear “now now be a good girl.. it will be easy quick death” hed whisper as muffled screaming was heard as I continue to struggle @untilthenewera

Absolutely not. This one is mine. "SHE'S MINE. DON'T LET HER GO. I'M CLAIMING THIS ONE." *At this point I was almost ready to pass out, but I forced myself to at least limp towards where they were holding you, feeling my vision fading on the way there. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

The demon looked at you and laughed “Pathetic and you call yourself the red death?!” hed say as he kicked you away from them “Sucks to suck red death but she’s mine” the demon would say looking back at Aloy like a prized possession summoning up his demonic blade and stabbed Aloys side. As Aloy would whimper in pain tears falling @untilthenewera

As I fell to the ground, I felt the strangest thought enter my mind. I'd rather kill him then the angel. When I saw the knife stab Aloy, something... awoke in me. Something I haven't truly felt in ages. True, unfiltered, Rage. I got up off of the ground and readied my blades. If I can't have my angel, I'm killing anything that takes my revenge away. I walk towards them, a little hobbled, but ready to fight. "Then join her." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

The demon would let me go as If fall to the floor helpless. Being stabbed by darkness.. unholy ness was my true weakness, and ontop of that I was a fallen Angel! I didn’t haven’t my normal angelic strength. As I was gasping for air. Gripping to my side to stop the bleeding. I had to do anything. I wasn’t going to die like this. No.. not like this.. as my vision started to fade black.. and the last thing I saw was the demon attack you. I passed out my hand going limp as the pool of blood stained my beautiful white dress… The demon would attack Ronan, attempting to stab his neck but clearly missing @untilthenewera

"Disgraceful." I cut him in the back of the knee and maneuvered towards the angel, using my leg to move her to the side a little bit, so she can be out of the way of combat. "You will share a grave with this one." I once again prepare for an attack, this time taking a defensive position in front of the angel.*

07:38

@.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

The demon stared at him. Was he really protecting this freak?! As the demon bursted out laughing “You! The so called red death taking a side of the Angel! Why!? She’s dead now look at her!” hed exclaim pointing to my lifeless body “this shouldn’t be a fight! The job is done let’s move on we have other angels to catch!” hed exclaim staring at him. He wasn’t going to put up a fight with him it was pointless! @untilthenewera

Got him. "You're right brother. I guess the flesh wound must've gotten to my head. I apologize. We will need to capture an angel to heal this properly I believe. Do you have any meds I can borrow for the moment?" I put my blades away, leaning against the tree and placing my hand by my side.

@.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

The demon scoff and walked off “No I don’t” hed exclaim “go solve it yourself or I don’t know use that angels blood to heal you!” hed point to my body “Fucking scumbag…” @untilthenewera

I could only feel pain at this point. I sat against the tree next to the dead angel, and I felt more emotions then I was able to process. I slowly felt my eyes close... this better not be death. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

I would twitch my fingers feeling someone nearby.. my eyes slowly opening only to see it was you. Oh great you found me.. as I’d weakly place my hand on your knee. And mumble a prayer as your knee began to glow in a golden hue.. and everything healed. I didn’t say anything to you as I did this process only the prayer was heard out of my dying lips… As my hand fully went limp and fell off your knee. I’d gaze back down to the stab wound that other demon inflicted upon me. Great.. not even 15 minutes on Earth and I’m dying or well a dead women as I’d close my eyes, awaiting for my last breath. I’d remain quiet again, closing my eyes and just accepting faith. If the demon infront of her didn’t kill her it was only a time she’d bleed to death, either way a lose lose @untilthenewera

Some time later... You find yourself in a bed, your wounds mostly healed. The walls of this place look decrepit and run down, and the smell of mildew immediately fills your nose. Your wings have been repaired as best they can, and a crossed the room is me, sleeping on the floor.

12:45

The room has a nightstand and an open doorway, but it otherwise barren.

12:49

@.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id awaken immediately to the fresh smell of mildew hitting my nose. Sitting up as I groan looking around. Where was I? Everything looked old and run down.. as I’d see I was laying in a bed. Who’s bed was this? I got up analyzing the room I was in. Just seeing a nightstand and the open doorway. Nothing else decorating the plain room as I’d stare at the open doorway. I’d blink and gaze back to the bed, and then down to myself. Oh my stars! I was healed— well mostly as I’d lift my wing and seeing how it was fixed as well. But the only downside I saw was a blacked feather. I’d gasp in horror immediately plucking it. I’ll deal with it later as I pocketed that feather. I didn’t even notice you sleeping on the floor until I began walking towards the door way only to accidentally trip over you as it’s stumble forward and catch myself before I hit the floor. I turned and see, there you were sleeping on the floor? Wait a minute did you take me in and heal me!? Was I trapped in this room with you? Was this all some sort of sick trick. As my thoughts ran millions per second as I stare down at you. Was this my chance to escape? As I turned I remembered.. I hurt you. I needed to heal you. As I approach you and kneel down looking at your knee— seeing it’s been healed already.. did I heal you before I blacked out? I must’ve completely forgotten.. as I look at you now our faces inches apart @untilthenewera

*I woke up to an angel inches from my face, I guess I did die. Wait a minute, no. I'd never make it to heaven. I realized that Aloy finally woke up, and I adjusted myself a bit to face her. "Good morning." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id see your eyes open as I’d back away from your face, sitting on my knees as you propped yourself up. Was I still in danger? I’d stare at you as you get aquatinted with yourself and then heard you spoke. “M-morning sir-“ *id respond my voice quivering as I was looking down at the floor my wings slightly covering my body like shield like it was ready for an attack @untilthenewera

"Alright, so." I sat up and faced you directly. "Clearly you need brought up to speed." I sat with my legs crossed and hands in my lap. "So yesterday, I was going to 100% kill you. You did whatever you did to make me not do that, I spared you, you slit my knee and ran (fuck you for that by the way) and then you got fucked up by the other demon, and that's all you remember right?"

16:28

@.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id listen to what you have to say.. my mind only listening 50% of the time as I was staring into your eyes wondering what you’d do to me, I looked like a lost and confused puppy it took me a couple of seconds to register everything you said as I’d reiterated “I remember I cut you knee.. I’m so so sorry I- I needed to escape I valued my life and I didn’t want to die please .. forgive me..” id say as I’d stare at you before remembering what else I had to say as my face flushed red embarrassed “I then remembered running through a forest.. next thing I knew was a demon grabbed me and stabbed me.. I blacked out only wokeup slightly to see you were injured I-I didn’t see the other demon so I remembered healing you? I -I think.. she spoke a bit embarrassed she didn’t know if she fully healed him, partially or rarely even but to know he was alive she must’ve done something! “and then I wokeup here.. that’s all I remember” @untilthenewera

"That's... more than I expected. Here's the rest: When I woke up my knee was healed and you were..." I trail off a moment. "Alright you've been in better condition. Anyway, I saw you laying there and I used some of my magic to heal your wounds and then I brought you back to the hiding tree thing I chased you through. I found a bed and put you in it and took the opportunity to get some sleep. Small problem though, you should be dead, and I should be home. However, all they know is that I tried to protect an angel, and you're still alive somewhere on Earth. So now we're both fucked. They want you dead as much as they did before if not more, and now they want me dead for technically being a traitor. So that's where we're at." I look at you with a somewhat serious expression. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id stare at you in utter shock “a demon doing a kind act?” Id say as I’d sit up on my knees, my posture straight as I looked at you * “thats so rare” *Id chime as I’d smile gracefully “thank you..” as I listened to the rest of you story I didn’t seem panicked or worried I kinda expected this to happen especially given that he healed her and vis versa “Bummer” id say with a cheeky smile, just still dumbfounded you saved my life “I guess we have to hide.. it won’t last long I know demons and Angel tend to forget over time…” Id say as if itch my head and looked around getting up “Maybe we can just stay here.. it’s big enough and if you don’t want to deal with me there’s plenty of space” Id say as it walked around the small room making hope out of a dreadful situation “Thoughts?” id playfully giggle looking back at you @untilthenewera sorry for wait!

"We're not mean all the time... well, I guess to angels we are. But yeah, that's essentially the scoop." I get up and groan, my legs and back sore. "We're going to have to move, demons have started keeping files on failed targets and stuff. They will forget eventually yes, but someone will read the file, and the hunt will begin again. For now, my plan is to lay low until I can get back to the Underworld, and I'm going to try to repeal my case so I can go back to my normal life. I turn back to you. "And I'll try to make a case for you as well, but I wouldn't count on that." I begin packing up some of the things I have. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖° (No worries!)

Id faintly smile as you mentioned you try to bring up me, even though I doubted that you would it was the thought that counted right? As you began packing what little was around I’d step out looking around the area, exiting the tree and looking outside as well making sure there was no one nearby. As the coast was clear I’d await for you to come outside. And when you did I’d point in the direction of where I knew there was a nearby farm “if we go that way there’s a barn we could stay at.. I must’ve been abandoned cause I saw boarded windows when I fell.. I was going to explore it but then demons started to come for me..” Id rub my neck looking down “Maybe we could lay low there..?” Id suggest @untilthenewera

"Not a bad start. Any chance those wings of yours retract by the way?" I began carrying our stuff towards the barn.

15:28

@.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id nod as my wings retracted back in as soon as you mentioned it as I began following you towards the barn “From what I seen it looks small.. so maybe I could create a barrier for us to have our own space..” id suggest looking at you, frankly I didn’t care if we had to share a space but you seemed annoyed already with having to deal with me, so I figured this would be a viable suggestion @untilthenewera

"If that's what you want sure, I really don't care either way." I continue carrying our stuff, letting out labored sighs every once in awhile.

16:11

@.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id looked back ahead the the sun rising infront of us, the sky peppered with all sorts of beautiful colors as I’d look towards you each time you sighed id sigh and grab some stuff to hold as we near the barn after a good 20ish minutes of walking, the barn was quite small enough to fit a family of 3 as we approach it I’d open the door for us and set down the things I’ve carried for you in the middle “So.. this is it” Id say with a shrug, unsure how to go further about it as I’d begin to look around, there was 1 bathroom and luckily 2 bedrooms with a small living room and kitchen “Atleast we get our own rooms” Id chuckle making light out of the dark @untilthenewera

"Hey I'll take it, you scared of sharing a bed with me angel lady?" I begin setting our things down, trying to keep everything organized. I then sat against the wall, sighing and closing my eyes. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

my face would tint red as I’d look at you “No sir I just thought that it would be weird..” Id say as I’d watch you begin to organize things Id walk into the room and summon up blankets and pillows for us trying to make it all cozy and comfortable as I began making the bed. When I finished I’d sit on the bed and sigh, taking out the black feather I kept in my pocket, staring at it @untilthenewera

I take the time to organize our clothes and I sit on the bed with you. "Damn... what a day." I lay down and close my eyes. "What's with the feather?" @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

* I'd jolt hearing your voice question my feather as I quickly hide it. there was no point in lying, afterall lying wasnt in my blood as Id sigh and turn towards you* "its a sign, ive fallen and slowly turning into the corrupted, im losing my fate in god.." Id then say looking down in defeat "But I refuse to fall.. I know he made a mistake.. but im trying to prove him wrong, clearly I cant do that now given the situation.." Id look away from you @untilthenewera

"I'm... sorry to hear that Aloy." He takes your hands. "But hey! Look on the bright side! You're kind of free now! No more following someone else's rules, now you can follow your own. And the black and white feathers will look badass." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

"er.." id look baffled unsure what to say, as my face flushed red as you took my hand, id look towards you "I-i dont know.. I just want to show God he is wrong.. I dont want to fall... I dont want to be damned" I say sighing removing my hand from yours "I dont know what its like to be free.." @untilthenewera

"Well, it's pretty awesome if you're not in this particular situation." I take a seat next to you. "Listen, I know God is real important to you and stuff, but what does he know? Clearly you were doing your thing right, and he still tosses you! What an asshole! I'm thinking we find our way back to heaven and talk to him ourselves. Maybe after I get back to hell, but at the very least right after." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“we!?” I spoke in utter shock, why would you of all people want to help me! “I-I don’t know I don’t want to piss god off anymore, I mean I’m with a demon sharing a home with them! That’s a sin itself and I know god is watching us!” Id sigh in defeat hiding my face in my hands “there’s no point. No matter what I can do he will look at it wrong.. and all I can do is forgive, but it’s not right” Id whimper as I’d lean slightly on you, burning myself in the slightest due to the demonic aura and my holy aura clashing, but I didn’t care “When you fell from heaven what was your first thought?” @untilthenewera

"Um... I was never in heaven actually. I was born to demons." He was slightly shocked as she leaned onto him, he grabbed a blanket from nearby and used it to create a little barrier. He then put his arm around you carefully as to not burn you. "There we go. Little more comfortable. If I got booted out of heaven, I guess I would just make it work where I was at." He snickered for a second. "Then I'd go slaughter every single one of those motherfuckers who kicked me out. But that's just me." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

"hmp.. I see" Id quietly say rubbing the back of my nape, embarrassed As you put the blanket around me, Id blush softly, mouthing the words thanks as I felt your arm around me, Id look up to you, with a glint in my eyes "Thoughtful.." id tease with a smirk as my smirk dropped when you mentioned the killing "e-er.. right.." id say as id yawn closing my eyes "I dont understand why you are being so kind to me.." Id look at you with my eyes glowing the soft blue a confused expression "it must hurt you to be so kind to me.." @untilthenewera

"No, it's really strange don't get me wrong, but it doesn't hurt me a bit." I smile at you. "Sorry if you aren't into the killing stuff. I guess angels do the whole turn the other cheek stuff right?" @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id furrow my brows hearing that as I turned to you “What—“ as I’d stare at you smile. What was this feeling.. it felt, lustrous just seeing you smile I couldn’t help but reciprocate! It was a first seeing a demon smile ever “Yeah.. those who repent their sins and ask for forgiveness we help seek them and guide them on a sin free path, helping them undo their wrongs” Id say as I’d push off you, resting my head back on the bedside and laying my legs on your lap, getting more comfortable as I’d yawn “It’s quite hard with you’re kind around tempting those who seek forgiveness” she chuckled slightly “But that’s the job..” @untilthenewera

"It's not my fault I make people want to sin angel face. It's in my nature to turn good people bad." I snicker as you lay your legs on me. "You're getting real comfortable with somebody who had every intention to turn you to pig feed less than 48 hours ago. You angels are seriously fucking nuts you know that?" I smile at you again as I adjust to make it more comfortable. "You get some sleep. I'm going to try to get a plan going. My first order of business is I need to throw the scent off of us. Luckily, I think I have an idea for us both. I'll tell you about it when you wake up." (We could time skip here if you'd like to Miss Sab.) @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id chuckle “I guess I am insane then but everyone deserves a second chance.. this is just your redemption Mr demon” Id say with a sleazy smirk forming as you call me nuts as you say I could sleep I’d lay on my side getting comfortable as I’d move my legs off your lap, curling into a ball as my wing would expand and wrap over me like a blanket and I began to doze off I’d quietly mumble “Good night Ronan” as I’d doze off TIMESKIP— THE NEXT MORNING The next morning I’d awake a little while after the crack of dawn, my eyes slowly opening as my hair was a hot mess, my wings all ruffled too due to tossing and turning as I’d slowly open my eyes.. and sit up rubbing them, yawning as I spoke “Ronan.. you still here?” @untilthenewera

Ronan was nowhere to be found, but a small fire could be heard outside. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id rub my eyes, as I sit up seeing you were gone. Id sigh, as I get out of the bed and summoned a new outfit for herself, a cute white disty dress with a corset. Id make the bed and turned around walking out the room as I heard the cracking of the fire outside, id open the door and walk out towards the fire in hopes to find out "Ronan.. are you out here..?" @untilthenewera

SPOILER

I was tending to the fire, cooking up what seemed to be a decent breakfast. "Morning. I went out and hunted some food, stole some eggs and vegetables." I was wearing a plain red dress shirt with black pants and black shoes. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id walked over with a grin “oh wow.. how thoughtful of you…— minus the stealing” Id say rubbing my arm “You understand you have to pay those you steal from back yes..?” @untilthenewera

I give you a look of confusion. "That's a rule for your kind, not mine. If you don't want to eat stolen food though, then by all means you can try to get some money and buy some." I stand up. "However, you'd have to avoid the demon assassins. Not to mention most jobs you can do on short notice are probably a worse sin then eating stolen food. Especially when you didn't steal it." I smile and begin making you a plate. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id huff looking away from you for a bit thinking “But it’s wrong..” id quietly say as I turned my head back towards you watching you fix me a plate “….” Id gulp as I’d sit down by the fire warming up looking down to the grass “I-I guess…” id say as I’d closed my eyes and mumbled quietly to myself “Forgive me god.. for I have sinned..” Id say as I’d then go one and silently pray. As 1 minute passes Id open my eyes and hold out my hand for the plate @untilthenewera

"Sinning is better than starving fk death. Even you have to agree right?" I give you a plate with some meat, vegetables and eggs. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id take the plate nodding to you as a thanks as id smell the meal "smells good." id softly say taking a bite of the meat, shed place her hand over her mouth as she spoke "er.. Id have to disagree.. we undeads dont need to eat alot you know.." @untilthenewera

"You angels definitely have some strange priorities." I prepare myself a similar plate. "So, plan for today is I'm going to try to get rid of our aura so they can't track us down. Then we get somewhere nicer to sleep then this, and work out a plan of how to ki-" I pause and use a moment to take a bite of food, chewing and swallowing. "-to... convince our respective communities to accept us back." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id swallow my food as id nod "in what ways can I help?" id ask you as id set my plate aside, focusing on the tasks for today "and how do you plan on convincing god and lucifer to accept us back!" @untilthenewera

"Well, that's actually where I was about to go..." I put my plate aside as well. "I need you to go into a church for me. I need a rosary, a cross, and probably some holy water to be safe. I'll go collect the things we will need for you." I stand up and dust off. "Also, I'm not going to convince them to accept us back. The minute I see Lucifer, I'm going to slaughter the whoreson myself. As far as God goes, do that however you want. I'll take a trip upstairs and wack that old fucker too if you want." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id nod as I’d get up dusting my dress off too as my wings expanded. The right side peppered with black and white feathers and my left side was completely white still. I’d glance back noticing my wing as I’d sigh and then look back at you “You will do no such thing to God!” Id. Boast with anger as I’d glare at you, before taking off into the sky to gather your materials @untilthenewera

"Just offering... sheesh." I clean up the remnants of breakfast, and teleport towards my desired location for gathering materials as well. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

30 minutes passed As I’d come crashing down nearby the home, rolling on the floor all bloodied up and panting heavily, my right wing torn as I’d be laying on my back with the items you requested scattered around me, I’d close my eyes trying to calm myself down @untilthenewera

"ALOY!" I threw the stuff I collected down and rushed over to you, beginning to mumble healing magic to fix you up.

08:11

@.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id swat you away as I’d cough my wounds were healing slowly by itself already as I’d use your arm to help myself up, sitting up “I-I was I -“ Id lean forward resting my head on your chest “They found me somehow I don’t understand.. I- I had to hurt them to escape” I began sobbing, not because I was in pain but because I had to inflict pain on demons @untilthenewera

I held you and stopped the healing. "It's okay... demons are bad anyway. If it's you or them you gotta pick you Aloy. I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself." I hold you gently, trying to hold your wing in place. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id whimper as you held my wing. I couldn’t bare looking at the damage as I’d let silent tears just fall. I felt disgusting covered in my blood and demons blood “I.. I got your stuff..” Id say quietly pointing to the stuff you asked just scattered around “Let me pick it up for you..” Id push myself off you as id force myself up limping to grab the holy stuff @untilthenewera

"Aloy, take a break. I got this. Let me try to find you a bath or something." I grab a small chair and put it next to you as I begin grabbing the holy items. "Ow! Fucking son of a bitch." I toss them into a pile off to the side. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“Language!!” Id Mutter as I’d sit down on the chair finally looking at my wing as I’d gasp in shock. The reality setting in seeing my wing half ripped as I froze I didn’t know how to even feel, infact I was already regretting looking at it as I’d force myself to look away and at you “I told you I could have picked those up for you. Why didn’t you take help?” she spoke as she got up, stubbornly making her way to the holy pile @untilthenewera

"Because you have yourself to worry about. I got this." I finished putting the holy things in a little area for myself. "Alright. So here's the plan. I'm going to perform a ritual that will temporarily make both of us as close to human as possible. We will have about a month before we have to do it again. We're going to lose all of our powers during that time, but we will be unrecognizable as an angel or a demon. No aura, no nothing. You'll also lose your wings during that time. Everything sound good to you?" @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id sigh, nodding “will our physical appearances like our hair change as well or no?” id say as I’d look at the pile of holy stuff @untilthenewera

"Maybe a little bit. I honestly don't really know. I'll do mine first and I'll help you after." I begin to arrange the items in a circle and begin mumbling some ancient magical scriptures. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id nod as I sat down watching you do this process, a little smile forming on my face as I’d softly hum @untilthenewera

"Montreum Ragnathan Lumon!" There's a bright flash of light. A warmth fills the area as the items with the circle are consumed, and from the ritual circle appears a more human looking Ronan. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id look to you and smile softly “not bad” Id say as you began doing the same spell on me. My glow wound dim down into nothing and my eyes would become a lighter blue. The holy aura surrounding me would vanish along with my wings and halo, as I’d look to my arms and legs “I haven’t been a human in a long time” Id chuckle looking back up to you “I just hope it works..” Id say (Minus the cat ofc lol) @untilthenewera

"Fuck yeah!" Ronan does a small celebratory gesture. "I didn't know if that would work but I nailed that! Alright, next step is to find somewhere better to lay low while we figure this out. God... this human body already sucks. I can feel mortality." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“Yeah..” id chuckle tucking my hair behind my ear “It feels weird.. knowing that I can actually get hurt by the little things..” Id then began walking gesturing you to follow “Come on let’s go into town, we can get a nice hotel there” Id say humming softly “I was going to suggest flying but I forgot we can’t” id snicker as I’d grab your hand knowing it can’t burn me, as I’d drag you @untilthenewera

"Alright alright..." I held on and caught up with you. "Should we take our stuff with us?" @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“It’s very little.. we can get more” as they would enter town, the town light up with fairy lights everywhere and carts out. People out chattering as it seemed to be some kind of festival “Woah.. it’s beautiful here” Id say as id let go of your hands to walk ahead slightly to see all the stands. Some had jewelry, some had food. It was a whole variety of stuff as I’d point to the one with clothes “Let’s go there!” id say not like you had a choice as I run off to look at the clothes. My eyes settling on this beautiful set as I’d check the price for it “…” id step away and then looked towards you “$25.. it’s fine come on, we should check into that hotel” @untilthenewera

SPOILER

"Agreed." I walked besides you, taking in the beautiful town. "This place is a lot nicer then where I'm from." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id chuckle “I bet..” id say as we’d walked towards the hotel. Little did we know there would be an demon watching us from the corners of the street. Due to us being in our mortal form we lost our senses to pick up on auras.. As we’d walk in id walked to the bellboy and smiled “How much for a room.. for hmm.. let’s say a week?” Id ask as the bellboy would smirk leaning forward “For you my beautiful lady, free~” hed chuckle grabbing her hand as I’d blush slightly moving my hand back “awfully kind of you sir.. but it’s for me and my friend..” I’d say peering back to Ronan with a look of help, I don’t know what to do here @untilthenewera

"Hey partner, I appreciate your hospitality." I step forward and put very little distance between me and the bellboy, moving in front of you to create a barrier. "But I'd like you to keep your fucking hands off of her." I pull my knife out just a tiny bit, the demonic power from it temporarily gone as it appears to be a regular blade. "The key." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

The bellboy would snarl looking at him,, until he pulled out the knife he’d jump handing them the key “Hey— you didn’t have to be that aggressive you know..” Id say as id pull you away walking towards the elevator as we’d get in going to the 4th floor “Thank you though..” id say as I’d get on my tippy toes and peck your cheek, lowering myself as we got out the elevator and walked to our room. 408 as I’d take the key and swipe in, walking in Id immediately notice it was one bed.. a queen size with the view of the ocean “Woah—“ id say as I’d look out the window in awe, and the. Turned to the bed “I-I guess we can do a pillow barrier? Or I can sleep on the floor..” @untilthenewera

"Much better." I went with her into the elevator, feeling proud of my accomplishment. "Yeah maybe I didn't-" Her pecking me on the cheek made me pause, filling my body up with an unfamiliar feeling. It gripped me in the chest, and it almost felt like getting injured, but it was warmer than that. Straining almost, but not quite stressful. I quickly tried to shake it off and move on as we went to the room. "I don't need any of that stuff Aloy, I'm fine with sleeping next to you if you're fine with sleeping next to me. Though I may try to use the bath. I feel like I smell awful." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖° (this is set in medieval times right? figured the hotel would have some kind of bath or shower type deal.)

Id nod as I’d sit on the bed “I’m okay with sharing a bed with you..” Id softly say looking at you chuckling “Oh go ahead the bathroom is right there..” id point to the door across the bed , as id focus back on the bed moving pillows around to make sure we both had an equal amount of pillows @untilthenewera (yup!! There definitely would be, maybe not as advance and the water would take a moment to heat up!)

"Sounds good to me then." I lock our door and begin stripping down in front of you. My human body wasn't quite as impressive, my body more frail and skinny. I kept a decent enough physique, my legs definitely still having the muscle from before. I got down to my underwear before I paused a moment. "My apologies, probably shouldn't do this in front of you." I then walk into the bathroom and turn the water on. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id stare at you for a brief moment analyzing you as you stripped down willingly infront of me- my face flushed red as I hide my face in embarrassment and awe as I’d nod “Y-yeah you shouldn’t..” id say as I’d head the door close in the bathroom and removed my hand, taking a long sigh in relief my heart pounding in that moment feeling flustered meanwhile the demon that was following them would contact the others telling them our location “yes in the hotel! No I didn’t see what room they went in. Yes they are in mortal form! Fools they are weak now..” the demon would hiss to another annoyed “now scurry tell Lucifer! We must know what to do next..” as the demons scattered back in the room Id be hanging our clothes in the closet, as I was now wearing pj pants and a bra as my top since I didn’t have any spear comfy tops, as I’d finished I’d wait for you to exit the bathroom, humming to myself as I looked around the room.. suddenly my stomach growls as I’d look down damn this vulnerable body..as I’d get up and leave the room to get us some food from the lobby.. returning back with a tray of food for us, apples, meats, crackers and cheese all on the table as I began munching on it @untilthenewera

I came out of the bathroom fresh and clean, my hair messy around my face as a towel covered my lower half. "I'm so glad you thought about food, I forgot that being human means you have to eat. Let me get dressed and I'll join you." I grabbed some clothes and went back into the bathroom, putting on some underwear and a pair of comfortable trousers and putting my shirt on as I exited. "Alright then, let's get to this eating stuff." I took a bite of the meat, and immediately felt my face strain. "Food in this realm is very... different. Not terrible but this is going to need adjusting." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“It surely takes time to adjust that’s for sure” id say as I’d bite into the fruits avoiding the meat at all times id gaze towards you feeling my face flush red slightly. Your wet hair and just your outfit and physique made me blush.. you just looked so adorable as a human.. as I’d shake my head away from the thought. No. I couldn’t call inlove with a demon “I assume the meat is bad?” id chuckle seeing your expression after taking a bite @untilthenewera

"It's... not my favorite." I swallowed hard and tried some of the fruit. "Now this, this is fantastic. Humans did something correct for once." I ate another piece and smiled, relaxing on the bed. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“Mh the fruits are my favorite, very juicy” Id say as I’d walk to the bed and sit on the edge of the bed looking out the window “Do you think they will find us..?” id yawn tired for once as I’d rub my eyes “wow mortals get tired easily huh..” @untilthenewera

"Probably. I have a few defense mechanisms in place already. If worse comes to worse, my knives only look normal. I will still attempt to fight them even though this body probably sucks at combat." I continue eating but I move on to the crackers. "I'll let you have the fruit, and yeah they really do. We haven't even been doing much and I feel exhausted." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“Oh - no no I’m full thank you..” id say getting an uneasy feeling like someone was watching us.. little did we know there was a demon in the shadows watching us. But due to our mortality we didn’t know.. Id get off the bed and pull back the blankets, laying down as I’d pull the blankets back up on me, looking at you while you ate the crackers , getting all nice and warm “We should practice our combat skills tomorrow morning…get used to the human body?” @untilthenewera

"We? I thought you angels are supposed to be pacifists or something." I continued eating, watching you get comfortable. "Honestly, I'd rather avoid fighting in this form if possible. Aren't humans prone to their hearts attacking them or something? They can't handle much to my knowledge." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“… not necessarily..” id rub my arm “if we have to engage in combat we will” Id say as I’d lay my head on the pillow “Yes humans are weaker than .. us but I want to practice if we encounter a demon.. then it’s over for us.. er unless we get holy water but still!! It’s good to practice no?” Id say as I’d turn on my side looking at you eat @untilthenewera

"To be honest with you, I don't really know if I'll need practice. I've been killing angels and demons and humans for so long it's kind of second nature to me. I might need to teach you how to fight though, or at least how to defend yourself properly." I finish eating and get up, putting the tray on the table and cleaning myself off. I then come over and lay next to you. "I haven't been in bed with a woman since I left the underworld to..." I look at you for a moment then back at the ceiling. "It's uh... been awhile." I pause for a moment. "I never really said sorry... for the... you know. Trying to kill you thing. I apologize. Work related only I promise." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id nod “yeah.. teach me please.. it would be good to know.. given that… I don’t… yeah..” my voice trails off as you’d get under the sheets. I’d then furrow my brows as you said that “what is that suppose to mean?! You haven’t been in bed with another women..” id say a bit furious.. taking it in the wrong way as I’d turn my back to you, and put a pillow between us “…” id stay quiet as you apologize I wasn’t all there honestly with that I knew demons had to tendency to lie.. and you haven’t proved yourself to me so I simply refuse to believe you were sorry as I’d quiet say “Lies..” and left it at that.. as I’d drift off to sleep @untilthenewera

Shit. Bad move Ro. I removed the pillow and tossed it aside. I wasn't a liar... no problem though. She probably believes those old wives tales about demons being wicked little lying assholes. Scary how accurate those things were. I got up and snuck to the door, packing my knives and some water in a glass bottle. Time to go "borrow" those clothes Aloy wanted. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

*Id be fast asleep not even noticing the pillow barrier was removed. I kept my fair share of the side curled up in a small ball feeling a bit uncomfortable knowing I was sleeping next to you, a demon.. but I also wanted to give you a lot of room since you were taller than me. I’d hear the door open and close but didn’t think much of it, I assumed you were using the bathroom as I’d turn to the other side, my hair falling onto my face as I was knocked out..i didn’t get up til the next morning @untilthenewera time skip to morning love!!

I was passed out like hell, my body as far on the edge of the bed as possible. The pillow was replaced, and I had removed my shirt sometime during the night. On the table was the outfit you were looking at. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖° being called love >>>

As the sun rose id wakeup the moment the sun shone through the windows. I’d roll over to see you on the far edge of the bed as I’d sit up rubbing my eyes. It was about 6am as I’d carefully get out the bed and walked over to your side , placing more blanket on you. As I’d pivot about to head into the bathroom my eyes gaze towards the table with the clothes. I stare in awe wondering how it got there.. until I’d gaze back at you sleeping too peacefully.. like a good night sleep after a heist and, I knew exactly how it got there. I’d stare back I felt guilty I knew I shouldn’t wear it.. it wasn’t even paid for .. I’d nervously gulp and walked into the bathroom to bath and wash myself, taking the clothes with me. As I’d finish I’d put the new clothes on, and look at myself in admiration in the mirror as I’d step out the bathroom letting my wet hair dripped as I’d sit on the edge of the bed, yawning id glance out the window and spotted two figured.. they looked suspicious dressed in all black clothing with a red wrist band.. and I could have sworn they saw me cause it looked like the vanished out my sight…. My eyes widen oh my god they did because the next thing I heard was knocking on our door.. “Ro-nan.. Ronan they found us!!” she’d whimper @untilthenewera if ronan opens the door it would be house maintenance there just giving the two more towels

I half snore as I wake up to you yelling. "Huh..." I flicker my eyes open. "What'd you say...?" I start to get up, tired looking but functional. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id back away from the door looking worried as I’d see you half awake “The demons— I.. I they here I saw two figures outside and I could have sworn the vanished when I looked at them and next thing I heard was the knock ..” @untilthenewera

Ronan paused for a moment, standing up. "Under the bed. Now." I get up and grab my knives, putting them on my side. I then walk up to the door and wait for you to hide. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id crouch behind the bed, not necessarily wanting to go under it since I wanted to be able to help. My eyes peeled at the door ready to attack and help @untilthenewera

I looked through the peephole and opened the door slightly. "Can I help you?" @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

No one would be there; rather on the floor was a basket filled with fresh new towels that smelled like lavender and some bars of soap Id get out of my hidey hole and walk to the door seeing nothing as I’d look down and then back up and away from the door “No— I could have swore it was those demons! Ronan you have to Believe me.. I was looking out the window this morning and say 2 figures in town dressed in black with a red wristband. They knew I was staring at them and they vanished not walked, nothing straight out of sight!” Id exclaim sounding like a crazy women. I was paranoid “I don’t understand—what if it’s a trap!? What if they sent those towels up!?” Id say as there was a note in the basket that just read Fresh towels curtsy of W&J hotels @untilthenewera

"Honestly, let em come." I take the towels and bring them in, putting them on the table. "Like I said, I planned for demons. There's at least three traps they'll run into, then they will have to beat me in a fight. Besides, we're going to stay on the move. How long did you book us here again?" @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“A week..” Id say as I’d walk over to the towels and smell them “they smell good..” id mumble as if sit on the edge of the bed rubbin my eyes “What traps what do you mean..?” @untilthenewera

"Glad you asked angel face." I go to my stuff and pull out a vial of grainy substance. "Demons can't pass through this substance without burning extremely bad. I sprinkled it around, and only I know the safe route. It won't do anything to you." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Aloy rolled her eyes as he called her angel face, walking over as she’d tuck her hair behind her ear listening to him talk “Okay but where is it sprinkled around?! And how can we be sure the demons would fall for it..” @untilthenewera

"I can't tell you." I tap my ear and make a rounding motion. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“…” Id furrow my brows a bit confused. It took awhile for me to get it and when it finally hit I’d go “ooohh…” “Hmp..” Id nod as if unwrap the towel wrapping it around me cause I liked the smell of it “Can we atleast go out?” @untilthenewera

"Of course, it shouldn't affect me while we are like this." I look at you and laugh a little. "Does the towel smell good or something?" @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“Smells lovely” Id say as id lower that towel and get up , stretching the two would hear faint music and loud chattering as Aloy would make her way towards the window again and swipe the curtain to the side slightly seeing what looked like a festival happening “Hey look..” *id say softly pointing to the people * “can we go there? It looks fun..” @untilthenewera

"Sure thing, but after that we need to get some information on how to get back to our respective places. Probably best to find someone else who's just posing as a human." I begin putting on some decent clothes I "borrowed" from someone. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

I nodded “it won’t be hard..there’s ought to be many witches here, like actual witches..” Id shrug “But as you know many will just deem them crazy.. or whatever, so I bet if we ask around they will tell us if they seen a witch” I’d suggest, I knew the towns folks would give some information there had to be a towns witch here that the local just deem.. crazy or hysterical as we’d leave the building and into town on the streets of the festival I’d look around holding to your hand tightly still afraid as we’d approach a stand selling drinks.. I’d fish around my pocket taking out some gold coins and handing It to the man, as they looked at us weirdly and back to the coins.. as they handed us the drinks as we walked away I’d put my hand in my pocket taking out a gold coin wondering why the man was so confused, realizing the coin was a heaven coin.. a wing on one side and a tail on the other usually given to those in limbo to determine there fate “oh..-“ @untilthenewera

"No complaints here, you got us free drinks! Kind of..." I took a sip of mine and smiled. The feeling of your hand in mine was pleasant, my hands were a bit rough in this form, still probably less so than my usual body, but they weren't dirty thankfully. "These humans really have this fruit thing nailed. Alright, go find witches now right?" I sip my drink and begin looking around for anyone helpful.

Id chuckle sipping to my drink nodding “they sure did” Id say as we’d stop walking “I mean… we can if you want… “ id say looking around “but maybe when it’s lets crowded. I don’t want to have folks deem us as crazy now..” As we’d resume walking we’d stop by a jewelry cart as the sales man would do his normal pitch “and the blood diamond ring is said to repel all things sinful..” hed say putting it on Aloys right index finger “we don’t need a pretty little thing like you to be filled with sins now do we” Hed wink “it looks beautiful on you..” @untilthenewera love you forgot to tag me!!!

I look at you, a little bit of admiration. "Well, we sort of seem crazy enough now." I observed the jeweler as he gave his pitch and something didn't really feel right. I didn't like the way this man was speaking, and something about him threw me off. "A little sin never hurt anyone. For the record, that doesn't even appear to be a real blood diamond. It appears to be ruby that was heated for awhile to appear darker and have some more shine to it. I'll assume you're also going to charge us an outrageous price, and upon our reasonable resentment, you'll offer us a lower price that seems more fair but is still ridiculously too high for the cheap product you're attempting to peddle to us." I look at Aloy and smile, then back to him. "I'll give you 5 gold for the ring because you're running a business, and it does look good on her. Attempt to con me a second time and I'll break your jaw." I sloppily reach into my pocket and toss about 7 gold pieces on the counter. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖° (I'm so sorry, very busy recently I'm getting sloppy lol. Been getting into DND again so trying to prepare things for that.)

Id look at you and then back to my ring as you talked about it. I’d look closer at it analyzing the color of it noticing he was right. It was a ruby just under heat for a long time. As he’d negotiated for it she’d smile softly feeling her face flush red as he complimented the ring on my finger as I nodded watching him take out the golden pieces and put them on the counter as the man would growl annoyed

“fine fine… whatever” hed say taking the pieces and waving them off as I’d look to you smiling as we walked off

“Tch you didn’t have to threaten him like that.. you know?” she’d say fiddling with her ring “but thank you… it is beautiful..” @untilthenewera (all good lmao)

"Yeah, the ring is beautiful too." A devilish grin appeared over my face as I walked with her. I didn't even know the thing was fake, I didn't know anything about some shiny rock. I know plenty about shady humans though, and they're all trying to con each other. Score one for me, and I saved us some gold on some trinket. "Where to next? Also, we may want to watch our spending, I only have about 20 gold left on me." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖° (there you go darling)

Id shrug looking around the festival thinking of ideas “No not really… maybe we should begin our search for that witch..” and if as on cue someone overheard her as they stop scoffing

“ye be looking for a witch. I swear I seen one shady lurking in the forest she had brown hair carrying a basket..” hed say laughing walking away

“I think he thinks any women capable of reading is a witch..” she’d sigh looking at him “Should we follow his lead..?” @untilthenewera

"Well, it's the only lead we have. Stupid leads are better than no leads. Let's get moving." I begin walking towards the area he had described for a moment, then I turned and looked back at the man. "Hold on." I walk up to the man and tap him on the shoulder. "I'll excuse the fact that you don't mind your own business, what makes you think she's a witch?" @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id nod as I’d wait for you to come back sitting on the bench and watching the people pass by

“she tends to wear dark clothes and whatever you call it under her eyes.. makeup? Whatever” the man scoffed “she looks odd and I see her collect the weirdest things in the markets…many just to stray away from her” the man shrugged as he’d then wave Ronan off

“don’t believe me, just wait til you and your wife see for yourself then you’ll know I’m not crazy!”

@untilthenewera

"You're a lot of things stranger. Thank you for the information." I walk back over to Aloy, smirking a little. "According to him, you're my wife. Might be a decent cover story. We're heading towards the strange lady then?" I offer my arm. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“Hmp..” she say as she’d grab his arm holding it “I- I guess it’s a decent cover story… but when we visit what would our reason be for visiting?” Id say as we began to walk “We can’t just go there and say we are a married couple.. we need a reason why we are seeking a witch.. and perhaps a dark reason..” Id say quietly, looking up to you knowing you’d be the best person to come up with a dark reasoning @untilthenewera

I chuckle softly. "A dark reason hmm? Alright, let's just say we're trying to temporarily enter the underworld. At the very least I could use a few things from home to fight demons and angels that may come after us." I look to you. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“W-what!!! What about me they will immediately tell I’m not from the underworld I” id say as id squeeze your hand as we’d enter the forest following the path the old man told us to follow “What if you shift into your demonic form and. I shift back into my angelic form! These spells arnt forever I would assumed we’d turn back to our true forms there—“ Id say as id look back at you, worried @untilthenewera

"Then I'll kill anyone who tries to stop us." I walk forward confident. "Besides, hell will probably make you look more like a demon every moment you're there. Never seen an angel down there but that's my guess." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“hmph..” id say as if look uncomfortable removing my hand from yours as I’d place them behind my back “Y-you think..” she say quietly rubbing her neck not liking the thought of it “what if the witch actually sends us to the underworld .. then what!” @untilthenewera

"Then we solved half the problem. After that we just need to figure out how to get you back to heaven and this whole situation is over." I pause a moment. "Until they send me to kill you again." I chuckle. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id look at you scowling as you said that “I don’t be so nice next time if they do! I was taught to fend for myself” id say folding my arms as we’d walk down the path, the trees getting darker as we’d enter a small secluded area where a house would be “This must be it..” Id say as we’d see an brunette outside, like she was awaiting their arrival

“ah.. the demon and Angel in human disguises please please come..” she say as Aloy would gulp walking into her house as Ronan followed

“so.. what brings you here…” the witch would ask

“How did you know we were… not human..” Id say curious @untilthenewera feel free to play the witch also to advance the plot!!

"You're creeping me out to hell lady, but hopefully that'll be good." I walk in, looking around the entire place and taking in the scenery. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖° I would but I'm high tomorrow I will lol.

the witch would chuckle as she’d sit down looking towards the two

“what brings you in today..?” shed ask looking at the Angel

Id gulp “er.. well Uhm .. we were wondering if you could help us.. maybe uh…” Id freeze up nervous unsure what to even say @untilthenewera

"We'd like to temporarily go to hell. I need to pick up a few things and talk to someone. The angel needs to come with me. We will also need to go to heaven for a moment too, but we need to be able to survive each other's environments. That about sum it up, wife of mine?" I turn to Aloy and smile. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

Id freeze looking at him.. and then slowly back to the witch “I-I guess..” Id say subbing the back of my neck “but wouldn’t my true form come out if we enter hell.. and vis versa if he enters heaven” Id say as the witch would sit back on the chair

“I can allow you both temporary disguises while you are entering each other’s territory” shed swivel on her chair opening her cabinet and grabbing two vials, handing one to Aloy and one to Ronan “drink these as soon as you enter ..”

“And as for portals… just note they don’t last forever.. how much time do u need in heaven and hell?” @untilthenewera

"In Hell, I could probably get the things I need and do what I need to do within a couple days. In Heaven, that's be up to her." I motion to Aloy. @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖°

“Probably convince god to take me back…” Id say as if expose my wings.. half my left wing covered with black feathers as some feather fell.. I’d sigh and looked at the witch who would be chuckling

“woof.. right coming right up” The witch said as she’d grab her spell journal and opened it flipping through it as she’d stop at a. Page chanting in ancient Latin as a pentagram would form on the ground “well hop in.” the witch said as Aloy would look to him hesistant

as the two jumped in and enter hell.. I’d immediately drink the potion as I’d form horns and a tail…my wings turning red as I’d take form of a succubus “I feel.. hmp..” Id say hugging myself @untilthenewera

SPOILER

"You still want that old bastard to take you back? If that's what you want I guess but I still think he can go kick rocks." I prepared and jumped into the pentagram, ready to enter hell. I looked at Aloy's new form and damn near felt my entire face turn red. She was cute before, but now she could block out the sun with her presence. I felt myself starting to get... unfocused. I quickly shook my head and tried to remember she was an angel, and I couldn't just defile her with sin like that. "You... look incredible." @.𖥔 ݁ ˖ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓢𝓪𝓫 ✧˖° GOOD FUCKING EVENING SUCCUBUS ALOY
