Beloved by a Fallen Angel

II

Lance was surrounded by females almost throwing themselves on the poor boy. His face showed disgust to the his classmates who are basically shoving their boobs on his face.

‘Dang it women, have some dignity’

They were indeed sluts and he hated it. They are utterly annoying. A lot of them went to him and asked his number.

‘I'm so happy that the boring class is done---well the only bearable part was when I did something "cool". ‘He thought and imagines Rian’s confused face. It made him plaster a smirk on his face.

He then saw Rian walking out of the classroom. She looked at him and he tried to make him more confused by giving her a wink and a smirk.

He unconsciously found himself comfortable in her presence, despite only meeting for the first time and by “comfortable”, meaning, he just found the perfect playmate. She may even become his human friend.

Now back to his work, although he just arrived in the country—on the realm of the mortals rather, he needs to do his job of fetching the souls of the dying. He found his job troublesome but it is the job of a Fallen Angel after all.

After walking for quite a distance, he had arrived on the said vicinity, angels like him has the ability to sense a soul departing from its body and also the smell of death. He went to a corner to observe the people that were involved.

A woman was attempting to jump of a bridge. He let out a sigh of frustration and his eyebrows knotted. He felt himself glaring at those unworthy people. Humans, can't they just value life. They are just killing themselves while others are doing this kind of job in order to reincarnate and live again.

Some people just don't deserve to live the life they're living. A lot of people just don't understand.

Lance had always dreamed of having a normal life with his one and only true love but he was not mortal and he doesn't have a place in the three realms. He doesn't belong to heaven, to hell or to the earth. It wasn't his choice to embrace being a demon, it was a decision he had to make in order for his parents’ sin to be forgiven by the two gods.

Back to the woman, she was preparing to jump when a hand held her’s so that she wouldn't fall.

'Ah! Just die already and get this over with. I wonder how does one face with the embarrassment of a failed suicide.’

He moved a little to see the person who saved her, his eyes widen and dramatically rolls his eyes in irritation. It was Rian.

‘I'm beginning to get super angry right now, I walked kilometers away from the school to get a soul and then my hard work was stopped by the one and only Rian.’

‘She got here before me? I walked in a fast pace! Ahhhhh— right! Why didn't I ride a vehicle again? Dang Im stupid.’

"Stop this madness now! Aren't you guilty of the sadness you caused mother!? I don't care if mom likes you more than me but you just can't jump and give up on life. " Rian said

‘Well said.’

He tilted his head from side to side and the next scene that he saw almost blew his hiding place away as he covered his mouth with his hand, trying to control his laughter. Rian’s sister had slapped her with much force.

Girl fights had always excited him. He knew that women were just too unpredictable and unique.

"....I want to die because I hate you, I loathe you from the bottom of my heart, I want you dead. I want you to die before the next year comes." Rian’s sister said.

Lance had hoped and trusted himself that he could contain his laughter. This is the first time that he saw a scene where one gives a schedule to suicide and he thought it was funny as hell.

‘Well wasn't that harsh? How much does she hate Rian that she told her to just die? But dang— I want those popcorns to appear before me.’

"Fine, after all no one will know and care that I am dead right? I'm just a girl who has no meaning to anyone..." Rian said and bitterly smiled.

Lance’s heart felt like it was being crushed when he heard that. Just because someone told them to die doesn't mean that they will just follow them. He had been watching people die since the day he came to hell and it was never good— except those sinful people who deserved to die and those people who died due to stupidity.

He had that feeling again. He started to think that Rian and his sister doesn't deserve to live too. They are just competing about who dies first. What about all those people that didn't want to die? Those people who gave their all just to cling to life? How about those poor unborn babies who never opened their eyes and just died because of the stupidity of their parents?

‘How about both of you die?’

He was growling. He tried to calm himself down but his inner demon wanted to come out. The hardest war was not with others but within yourself. At this point. He just wanted to kill.

He got out of the hiding place and started walking away before he could ever do anything to the two as he wasn't allowed to kill anyone and anger the God of Heaven. Along the way, he realized that he doesn't have a place to go to and some money that would be needed in the human realm. He sat on a bench, waiting for some well-off looking person to come.

After a while, someone came and he stood up and ‘accidentally’ bumped the man who immediately cussed at him. He then apologized and as they part ways, Lance smirked as he holds the man’s wallet in his hands.

‘Jackpot. God, you’re so evil. Ah right— were both a demon.’ Kei, Lance’s demon spoke to him with the use of telepathy. He and Kei share the same body. Kei is the reason why Lance is also branded a demon. He is a “thing” with two souls inside of him. The moment Lance finishes his punishment, Kei will finally go out of Lance’s body and Lance shall finally be reincarnated.

He was left to find a place on his own and thankfully, the money was enough to get a condominium. The price was rather cheap because no one took it because it was rumored to be haunted. It honestly looked creepy and but it was in good condition.

‘Ghosts? Who cares. Were demons.’Kei said as he let out a sickening laugh.

What he said was true, Ghosts and other poltergeists were afraid of demons, much more to an Angel-Demon sort of thing.

He sat on the sofa and looked at her new home. It was unbelievably decent looking and it was such a shame that everyone was too afraid to even look at the inside. He didn't even sense any ghosts. Just because in the outside, it looks like a creepy-ass place doesn't mean that the inside is the same.

‘What is up with humans and outside appearance?’

He then looked at the basket that the landlady had gave her. It consists of raw meat; chicken, pork, beef and other kinds of ingredients. He scoffed.

“Talk about co-existing with other creatures in this planet. It looks like humans are the one that's in control of everything.” He spoke out loud and let out a laughter. His eyes then went to his bag. He opened it and got Rian’s diary out.

“I wanna read it all.” He said out loud.

‘Then read it. The hell with privacy. Besides, all they banned is killing.’ Kei said.

He opened it and started reading it page by page. It seemed like this is where he hides all her secrets from when she was a child. About her family, the time when she almost killed her sister accidentally— everything. But one thing bothered him.

Entry #28

September 16, 19XX

I finally found the answer to all the questions that I have been having. I realized that I can sense Ghosts, Demons and all those stuff that others cant. Im scared. I tried telling those creatures of the dark to stop pestering me. And about my sister, I didn't try to kill her— they did. It was all a misunderstanding.

-Rian

‘This may lead to something bad.’ Kei went serious.
