Chapter 36 36: Don't Worry, We Will Survive!

Shock hit Alex; he could honestly tell himself he wasn't surprised, but he was still shocked at the revelation. He wasn't sure on how to react, and his mind burst with thoughts for the first time in a small while.

'She didn't kill me before... And now she wants, no, has to kill me? Fuck, does that mean we're going to fight? Where's that damn Grimoire when I actually need it? Hell, where's Asmodea when I actually need her? Hell, where are Nyssa and Lauryn when I actually need them? Can I even fight an angel? This will be more of a life-and-death battle than all my fights in school combined...'

Alex managed to get out a few words, "Ah, so you are going to kill me... I don't suppose there's any way I can convince you not to?"

"Do not worry... These past weeks, I have begun to feel doubt within my faith... Why would God give me such an evil power? The power of darkness within an angel? Why would such an abomination exist? I have never fit in within my community, nor have my superiors ever really liked me." Alex could feel anger welling up from Aureal's words.

"There was an agreement between my superiors and the previous Lord of Lust. To allow you to live until you are a mature amount of years old, and then you would go to your post as Lord of Lust. Yet even though demons were involved, angels got something in return, and yet they still wish to not honour their agreement. Angels can be no better than demons in some ways."

Suddenly, a new voice appeared from within the class room. "Well, well. I knew it was going to happen. Aureal, with the rumoured power of darkness living within her, and is conversing with a demon. It is so obvious that she would be a betrayer of her own people. "Are we on the path to becoming a fallen angel?" There were two more people, whom Alex assumed to be angels due to their unique armor.

It seemed that no angel owned a set of armor alike. The one talking was a female, the one besides her, a male. They were perfect in every way, just like Aureal.

"Danna... Linias... I was right to doubt my faith, should anyone have faith in me. You are correct; I was never destined to become a true angel since my creation." Alex could feel resolve emanating from Aureal's words.

"This demon has proven that even the most evilest of existences can still hold kindness... While you have proven that even the most pure and holy of existences can hold malice." Aureal then whispered something to Alex.

"I am going to bring the two of us somewhere open, so that this coming fight will not endanger the students. Run to the open window behind us. I will distract them for but a few seconds, you will know when." She whispered into his ear.

Upon saying that, Danna opened up her rather annoying mouth again, "Yes, yes, some philosophical speech that will never work on us. We are here because a certain Archangel knew you wouldn't be able to accomplish your mission. We were sent here not only to eliminate the Lord of Lust, but you as well. It is an insult that an angel should even be associated with darkness. A demon must have tampered with your birth. We know you all too well, we will finish you both off." Danna was interrupted as Aureal made her move.

Linias was staring coldly at Alex, not noticing Aureal's actions, and Danna just seemed to love to talk and was spouting her insults nonstop, so she couldn't notice Aureal's next move.

Aureal pushed out her hands, sending out a burst of bright light, Alex looked away and started for the window.

The light not only disoriented the opposing angels, but also sent a wave of energy pushing them, and any tables or chairs between them, backwards.

Alex had already made it to the window and jumped. Instinct told him to jump, so he hoped he could survive the fall without damaging anything.

His worries were for naught.

Aureal grabbed Alex, wrapping her arms around his chest and under his arms, as he was at the top of the arc of his jump, and she flew.

She flew straight up in order to avoid and prying eyes. Aureal headed for an abandoned factory in the city.

Alex pulled out his phone and sent a text to Lauryn, as she was the only one of his group that held such a convenience. The text read as follows:

-being attacked by angels

-get asmo and neriss and follow me

-with a friendly angel

-said we're heading to that

-abandoned factory near 7th

-...

Autocorrect fixed most of Alex's frantic typing, and he managed to send the text despite the uncomfortable position in which Aureal was carrying him. He still didn't know how to fly, so he had to be carried.

Alex yelled over the sound of the wind rushing by them, "Hey! We might die soon!"

Aureal returned the yell in kind, "Yes, we may, though I do not doubt mine or your abilities!"

"I've never been in a fight against something supernatural before! And I just wanted to ask you a question!"

"Question?"

"Yea, you've probably haven't had very many friends in Heaven, have you?"

"You are correct, not even the ones who showed me kindness deemed themselves to be my friends."

"Yeah, well, how about we be friends?"

Aureal was at a loss for words, so Alex continued, "The past conversations we had these last couple days, they mean a lot... You barely knew me, and I was made out to be some mad monster, and you never had reason to trust me considering what other demons have done. In my opinion, that should make us friends. You don't object, do you?"

Aureal managed to stutter out a few words, which Alex found cute, despite the wind howling around them, "No, I don't... I've just never had a friend before."

"Trust me, if we live through this, you'll meet more than enough people who'll respect and like you." He reassured, "I won't be your only friend, that's for sure."

"Yes... We will live through this. I can promise you that." Declared Aureal.
