That... is hard to tell?

My throat burned. Every muscle burned. Freaking Bee Ez Bulb. Well. "..." I tried stretching. I felt a bit better if nothing else. I could feel the light striking the sheet. Okay, I had to escape before it started torturing me more. I didn't see Chrissy around. She went for breakfast? Eew. Well, I wrapped my hand around the pillowcase and pulled. Causing it to snap. Good, with one free, I knocked the book off me. Finally.

Sunlight? Spring break. So it over twelve hours of being tortured! Okay. Chrissy might come back. I gotta be careful. I need water. What? Ah shut up you book. Huh? Come to think of it. Was it odd that I could hear it now? No, first water. Then I could worry about that.

Oh god, water. I just drank one bottle, then another. and a third. My belly was feeling bloated already but I had to be near dehydrated. I wanted a shower next if I had time. Walking into the bathroom, I caught it in the mirror. What! My hair!!!

"Our Lord!" I heard!

Well, so much for a shower. Hmm. Lets see, she has a slight advantage since I haven't gotten a chance to recharge in sunlight yet... huh? What was I talking about?

"Stacy! Why would you be so rude to our Lord! Huh... you don't look that much different. Just blonde hair?" She asked.

I pouted. "Its not like I asked for blonde hair."

"My Lord?" she said looking at the book.

Great, the book spoiled that I didn't break. I rushed forward and grabbed her wrists. She pushed me back. She was stronger than I realized, I guess I should expect hat from a freshly fed gluttony demon.

"My Lord-"

"I can hear him," I said.

Chrissy's teeth began grinding. "You... can hear Him and you are disobeying our Lord! Eeerg! I'll cru-"

She jumped back and landed on her heel. He called her off. You want me to do what? "Pardon me if I am a bit lacking to the book that tortured me for... what? Thirteen hours? Oh, sixteen. That is even better."

Shit! Chrissy was about to cast-

"..."

Darkness. Not just that silence. I couldn't see or hear anything. I tried feeling something out. I had to be careful now. Ouch, wall and... door. Hmm. Wait... what was that? She could have already used this to beat me because of her demonic eye. But, how did I now that? He told me I would figure it out if I relaxed. Shit. I see it.

These spells were just to get me to calm down so I would triggers my wisdom ability. Hmm, I wasn't good enough to use my sacred eyes to counter her demon eyes, but I could do one better. I snapped my fingers. "..."

Light and sound returned. Chrissy was holding the book tightly. "Huh? You undid the magic. But... your not a demon. I don't get it. How? Hmm? Okay."

What, I jumped back. Chrissy was moving so fast. I blocked her but she kicked me. "We can talk this through."

"My Lord-"

"I can hear him!" I reminded him! He wanted me to take off my shorts. "Fine!" I wasn't going to be able to fight Chrissy at her full power. Not like this. I needed to stall if nothing else. I pulled my shorts down. Wait, that symbol. That's the Mark of Micheal. The Archangel! "I'm one of Michael's angels."

Wait... what? I'm an angel?

"Wait what?" Chrissy asked. "Are you, messing with me? How did you become an angel?"

"Yes my Lord, her mark is as you described," Chrissy said.

The book was glowing a purple white color! Seriously, you were going for a full possession? How did I know about this! Ugh! As much as I disliked it, I already knew why. As an angel I was one of the beings with created with knowledge. Knowing I would always have and could never under any circumstances loose.

Sore loser! Well, I beat you once Bee-

Chrissy was covered in the black shadows. What? Why her? She already served him. That... Her body morphed slightly, it wasn't as extreme as becoming a demon, but her breasts swelled a bit. "What are you doing! If your gonna fight me, don't be-"

"Fight you?" She said in a husky voice that sounded too different to be anyway recognizable. "We made a deal. You won. I am here to discuss the terms of our bet."

"Huh? I..." I wanted to challenge possessing her but this angelic knowledge just kept kicking in making it hard to ignore the utility of what his possession offered me in terms of restoration.

"Had you been an angel of Gabriel, my assistance would have been more... conditional," she said. "Her final vow was that I would love and respect her. So, with-"

"Angelic power, especially Michael's Fire... you can do more than... either of us can do alone," I said. Michael's Fire was a unique angelic ability. Unlike the demons which were more hand picked. My angelic type simply matched my personality. Ugggh.

His form warped until it was a rather large man. Technically he was still using Chrissy's body but it now looked more like a three hundred pound line backer. "I won't deny finding the the irony of this situation a bit funny, despite you being innocent, angel. I am a demon lord after all. But, I shall not force the situation. It was your victory. It is your decision."

"I hate you," I said.

"Such fury, I see it was foolish of me to think that the needs of the body could overcome your heart. She is your heart, correct? Rest assured, she will never be ordered by me again to against you, so long as you do not move against the seven lords more broadly. But without truly coming to this plane, I can only maintain this form so long."

I clenched my fists. "I know! Ugh! Fine! But, so help me if you don't keep your word exactly as I want it."

"It may not seem like it, a lord of sin, we each became things we never imagined, for better or worse. But our visions were not always so bad at first. Mine was that, of a father. The young love you show is beautiful, and I can respect it. I will honor it to the best of my ability. That is my bond."

I sank to my knees. "This isn't about your pleasure. I wouldn't know where to begin anyway."

"I know. Just lay down. It will make it easier for the both of us if I do all the work," he said.

Gross! Gross! Gross! But... it was to save Chrissy! It was to save Chrissy! I laid down and got ready for well. Hopefully the only time I would have to feel something like "that" touching me!
