"Are you going to be civilised?" Sally questioned the angel and crouched by his feet.
"Why would you ask such a question when you have chained me to a wall like I am some sort of monster?" The angel stared the human in the eyes, expressing his faithful soul.
Sally blinked and stood up, a little embarrassed. He could see she was hiding the fact that he spoke the truth.
"Ben." The guy sitting at the computer turned on his swivel chair, expressing some form of immaturity that irritated the angel when they were in such a serious situation. "Escort the Demon to the next room please."
Ben's face lost any form of emotion.
"Aw come on, Sally please don't-"
"Now, thank you," She beamed and crossed her arms.
Kaiden was glaring at Ben, a faint smirk upon his lips. His eyes were fully blacked out, trying to scare him as much as possible. Ben was already intimidated by the Demon's big build and tall structure. He is much more handsome than him and hated it with a great passion.
"Can we at least sedate the freak?"
"If he tries anything, then yes. But just get it done." A man's voice caused both Sally and Ben to stand up straight with their hands respectfully behind their backs. The supernatural beings watched the stranger step forwards, his suit was looking far too expensive to be in a place as shabby as this room. "Is the demon causing you much trouble?"
Kaiden pulled against his chains when the guy crouched, scuffing his polished shoes.
"What did you expect?" The demon growled. His enraged eyes were like nightmares for any human to witness. "I'm chained to a damn wall!"
The angel flinched from the harsh tone and deep voice. Yet, he had a point. The supernatural beings can't be expected to play nice when they are in such troubling conditions.
The man in the suite adjusted his collar and clenched his fingers.
"You should be privileged that we haven't killed you." He lifted his podgy fist and punched the demon in the jaw. The back of his head hit hard against the concrete wall, sending a ripple of pain to sit right behind his eyes. The human punched him again, and again until his nose bled.
Kaiden winced and his head fell forwards. However, he has experienced the wrath of the devil, this pain was nothing to the agony of being tortured by Lucifer. Expressing a sinister smile, the blood from his nose leaked into his mouth, covering his teeth in their rich red colour, allowing him to look more like a raging lunatic.
The angel clenched his jaw but said nothing. Even though he hated demons, especially this one in particular as he tried to kill him, he found it harsh for them to simply afflict their violence on him just because he is a demon. They are both angry from being captured, humans shouldn't be so brainless and expect peace from such a creature.
"Drug him and transport these two into the next room." The presumed boss straightened out his blazer and brushed it down like nothing happened.
"Yes, sir." Sally walked back over to the angel with a patronising smile. "It's a good thing you're small, I can handle it if you flip out on me too."
The demon sniggered, still finding it amusing how the angel was so pathetic and weak. But Ben kicked him in the chest, knocking the air out of his lungs.
"You don't have to be so cruel to him," The angel mumbled when Sally yanked on his chains, making him stand. The demons wheezing echoed through the cold and dull room.
"I'm sorry? He was trying to kill you-"
"It doesn't matter how we treat each other," The little angel stared into the amber eyes of the big demon, seeing the slight confusion as to why he would stick up for him. "But he has done nothing wrong to you. He is a demon, what did you expect from him?" A deep frown arrived on Kaiden's forehead while he continued to stare back. "You are just humans, you have no right to hurt us."
Sally turned her nose up with ignorance, refusing to believe that what she was doing is wrong. She is responsible for putting a very bad name next to the human race.
"Drug the demon and get them out of here," She spoke coldly before pushing the angel towards someone else. The woman didn't want to deal with them if they are trying to make her feel like the villain.
"Get away from me!" Kaiden growled when a man in a heavily compact suit invaded his personal space. His arms were padded with thick cushioning, not wanting to get injured. A long thin needle was held tightly in his grip. His hands were discretely trembling when Kaiden glared with all the anger he could possess.
"Hold his head." Another human placed thick gloves on the side of the demon's face and Kaiden started tugging on the metal chains. They scraped the ground while the angel was pulled through the door. Kaiden caused his wrists to ache as he tried to squeeze his hands out but they were too tight. His skin was cutting and leaving red rashes of friction around the metal.
The human pulled his head to the side, exposing his neck to the big needle that was effortlessly stabbed into his skin. The demon tried to bite the man but whatever he was drugged with knocked him unconscious almost instantly.
"Jesus, I hope we don't have to regret capturing him."
* * * * *
Those eyes, so pure and rich with ambition. The gentle shimmer of emerald green was the brightest thing in the dull and tiny room. The angel had enough space in his chains that he could rub them, feeling worn out from the stress.
His eyes examined the demon who sat too close for comfort. The room they were in suited the size of a cupboard and if he felt claustrophobic, he would have freaked out by now. it was just over a metre and a half wide. Kaiden's legs were on either side of the angel and his feet stopped next to his knees.
He stared at the demons face. His expression was exceptionally calm. There wasn't a fragment of resentful emotions which was rare to witness. The angel found himself examining everything about him that caught his attention.
He wasn't dirty like the usual demon. His hair was clean, as were his skin and clothes. He had a certain scent that could easily become addictive. He seemed to have the time and effort to look after himself. These were odd habits for a demon to consciously think about and it raised some suspicions.
Yet, the angel remained cautious and alert. The demon was close enough to kick him if he woke up and that was unnerving. His big and worn out boots looked like they could cause some damage. He didn't know if he would be able to reach him with his hands. Deciding the length of his chains was difficult.
"please, someone rescue me," He whispered and wrapped his arms around himself. His gaze scaled the bare walls. The emptiness would drive him insane if he didn't have the demon in front of him. Although, he wasn't exactly a sight for sore eyes. Yes, he was ridiculously attractive, but he was an extreme enemy to the angel and the situation frightened him.
nevertheless, he would power through. He might not be physically strong but he was far from weak and would fight for his freedom. He didn't have the capability to give up and accept his fate. His life will always be worth living, even if other angels disagree.
The fact that his mentor abandoned him was appalling. That in itself made the young angel shake from the anger. It wasn't the morals of an angel, it was greedy and selfish. It wasn't possible for him to be taught how to be a respectful angel with a role model like her.
As his mind started to drift towards the unfair laws of heaven, the Demon frowned, instantly bringing his attention back to the present.
His deep scowl felt familiar to him while Kaiden shifted his heavy leg and gently brushed the side of his calf. The angel froze and watched with an attentive stare.
Like last time, Kaiden's head felt heavy as it fell forwards, his mind was left in a mist of groggy emotions. He was sore, achy and exceptionally moody. He roughly groaned and did his best to peel his eyes open.
The first thing he noticed was not the fact that he was trapped in a tiny room, or that he was still chained to a wall with very little energy, it was that he faced an angel.
"You-" He slurred and his vision blurred. His heart thumped around his body, giving him an unbearable headache. Just the sight of something so holy was provoking his demonic mind.
Suddenly, he propelled himself forwards. He was so fast that a simple blink was too slow for the angel. His cognitive thoughts could register the danger, elevating his heart and sending alarming shivers through his body. His breath caught in his throat when the chains dragged against the floor and the demon grew close. His outstretched hand darted forwards but almost like it was planned, the shackles reached their capacity. The angel's wide eyes stared down at the cold fingers, grazing his cheek. That was all the demon could touch apart from his legs.
"Why?" The angel whispered, trying not to be distracted by his uncomfortable contact and the crazed look in his amber eyes. "Why does my life mean so little to you?"
Kaiden clenched his jaw, hating that he wasn't close enough to grip his neck. Yet, the soothing voice of the male angel made him forget about trying to break one of his legs.
"It's just a life. I'm doing my job," He muttered and slumped his back against the wall. Not once did he disconnect their gaze, knowing he could torment the innocent being.
"How can you look with such a shielded mind?" The angel's fingers ran along the cool concrete floor, feeling the dirt and little cracks within the foundations. "If it wasn't your job-"
"Well, it is," He snapped.
The angel pursed his lips together and pulled his knees up to his chest when the demon shuffled his boot closer.
"It's not just a life."
Kaiden scoffed and cracked his knuckles. The sound allowed the angel to shudder, he didn't like that.
"You're not important, you are a pathetic angel. Your mentor quite happily left you for dead."
"You don't know a thing about me." The angel's voice was low while he dared to stare into his strong eyes. He felt like the demon was judging every little thing about him. Yet, he was prepared to show his pride. "My name is Milokan, an angel of honour, self-respect and dignity. You are a demon of failure, you show extreme negligence towards this earth and you are a worthless soul, you mean nothing to nobody."
Kaiden, for only a moment, shined an element of astonishment towards his bold attitude. He has never met an angel who dared to speak to him in such a disrespectful way. He almost respected his courage.
"Well, Milokan," His name rolled off his tongue like it was a sin to even speak it. "You won't have an ounce of dignity when I feed your soul to the Devil."
