[ WP ] A demon saves a family from an angel .

`` Heh. The angel over at the Robertson's house is falling. She's been with the family for years but she keeps arguing with God for power. Wan na come watch? The house is pretty well cleansed so we ca n't go inside but it'll still be a riot.'' My friend, Kilro, imparts to me after a night of haunting an innocent child's dreams together. 
 
 `` Maybe. Which angel is it?'' I say, slightly interested. 
 
 `` A new one... Umm... About a couple hundred years old. About your age. Umm.. What's her name?'' He says. 
 
 My stomach ( or where my stomach would be if I had a proper one ) starts to ache. It is a leftover thing from when I was human that means I'm feeling uneasy. I think I know which angel he's referring to. 
 
 `` Agnus?'' I offer, wincing a bit at the name. 
 
 Kilro slaps his green, scaley hands together and says: `` That'' s it! How'd you know?'' 
 
 `` We have unfinished business.'' That's all I feel comfortable offering about the subject but it is extremely vague for the circumstances we'd been through, Agnus and I. 
 
 `` Are you okay, Lob?'' Kilro asks, fixing his yellow eyes on me. 
 
 `` Yeah. Yeah just... I need to haunt my home base. The Larsons have gotten just enough rest to think they're safe. I'll catch you later.'' I answer, knowing that that explanation wo n't be questioned. 
 
 `` See ya.'' Says Kilro, picking his nose absently. 
 
 As I head to my home base I reflect on Agnus. She's the reason I am what I am now. We used to be married. She broke my heart. I spiralled into madness and sold my soul before I hung myself due to the consequences. 
 
 As I come up to the home I regularly haunt, I stop. My will just is n't in this now. I want to get back at Agnus. I need to get back at her. 
 
 I spin around on my heel and head to the Robertson's. Everyone knows where those do-gooders live. I just never knew it was Agnus supposedly protecting them. 
 
 When I get there I'm taken aback by the light the house emits. Agnus ca n't be falling too fast if the place looks like this. Damn. 
 
 I get as close as I can without feeling pain. That happens to be the front steps. 
 
 `` Aggie!'' I shout before I can stop myself, surprised by the word as it comes out of my mouth. 
 
 Then I see her. She's standing at the window and looks like a caricature of herself. She's in a white, flowing gown bathed in white light. I intake a breath sharply. 
 
 `` Who-'' she starts, but then she looks into my eyes. They're the only thing that has stayed relatively the same except for their colour ( purple ). A look of recognition spreads pver her face, and then a look of contempt. 
 
 `` Come out here. We need to talk. It has been long enough.'' I shout, folding my arms. 
 
 Agnus floats through the door and crosses her arms, mirroring me. She always did that. 
 
 `` What do -you- want?'' She asks rudely. 
 
 `` Geeze. I thought angels were supposed to be nice. I just want to... Ummm...'' I start, but all the angry things I wanted to say to guilt her are gone. I just want to hold her. But I'm a demon. How is that possible? 
 
 `` Oh, look at you. Have you been sucking up to God? You're getting a kind of glow. You sicken me.'' She says, turning away to walk off. 
 
 `` Agnus! I never thought I'd say this but... I forgive you.'' The words come out of my mouth with a sour taste, but they're there and I mean them. 
 
 Agnus scoffs. `` Forgive? What? I'm tired as shit of all these people forgiving me. As if I was a horrible person in life. As if. Wow. I'm a fucking angel, you know.'' Just as she says this, her glow starts to diminish and I feel a chill as a cloud covers the sun. 
 
 `` Do n't you see, Agnus? You're falling. You've become prideful in your time as an angel. You need to stop or you'll end up like me.'' I say, feeling pain for her. 
 
 `` Nope. Not becoming like you. You're soft. You're deteriorating. At this rate you're gon na be reborn human to get a second chance. What a horrible fate.'' Agnus says, almost spitting at the word'human.' 
 
 At this point it's starting to rain and I can see Agnus falling further. `` At least leave those poor people alone. Dear God, do n't make those people have to deal with such a horrible fate. Please.'' I all of a sudden really feel what I'm saying and can see a sort of glow start to surround me. 
 
 `` Newsflash: God does n't listen to demons. Let alone puny ones like you.'' Agnus retorts. 
 
 In an instant Agnus starts to scream. She is sinking through the ground as if she's pudding going through a sponge. I warned her. She descended to hell. That's exactly what I was trying to prevent... However, God knows best. 
 
 I can feel myself fill up with light and start to ascend. I can hear God in my head: `` Nathan. Let's give you another shot, shall we?''
