I've been here for over 4 years now...
Horrible place...

Everything is locked in here.
We are all treated the same by the doctors...
Like freaks...

Despite the fall, God for some reason let me keep my wings.
Most angels don't keep their physical wings when they fall. But for some reason, I did.
Maybe it's God's way of mocking me, making it so that no mortal will ever want to go near me...

My wings however, are no longer white. They are now black.
Black as sin...
Only angels that haven't fallen have white wings. Or so I hear that is.

I am snapped out of my thoughts when I hear the sound of the door being unlocked. My heart races with excitement as I see the nurse step into my room. She looks at me and smiles softly:
"It's free time dearie. You can come out now."

I smile widely and nod my head then stand up and walk over towards her, my wings folded against my back. She steps out of the way so I can go through the door. She then leads me down to the Recreational Room talking to me in a soft tone of voice.
"So, I hear you've made a new friend Nyra!"
I slowly nod my head, quite shy about talking to the nurse for fear I say something 'wrong' and get sent back to my room. That's happened many times in the past.

"What's her name?"
I can tell that there is honest curiosity in her voice and that she's not afraid of me, which is quite a surprise.
But then again, there are many more terrifying individuals here than me.
I'm known here at the asylum to be nice, quiet, and reserved.
Therefore I'm given a bit more freedom than some of the other patients.

Before I know it, we've arrived at the Recreational Room. The nurse smiles down at me...
Flashback:
"You saved that pregnant young woman Nyra, I'm proud of you."
End of flashback.

I blink a couple of times after the flashback, a little bewildered at first.
"Are-Are you alright my dear? You seem a bit faint."
I shake my head a couple of times and smile.
"I-I'm fine ma'am, b-but thank you for asking."

She smiles again then goes to leave.
"I'll be back in a couple of hours to take you to the mess hall for Lunch dear!"
I watch as she leaves the room and goes down the hallway to one of the many doors here.

Suddenly, I sense something...
Something evil and malicious.

A demon!
