Demons and Angels [ Chapter Two ]

"So... what are we shopping for?" Imogen sighed.1

"Huh?" Fate gave Imogen a weird look.2

"Shopping. You know? Buying things."3

"Oh." Destiny nudged Fate. "Shopping. Yes." 4

"Ooooh! Shopping!" Fate looked at Destiny.5

"What are you guys doing?" Imogen rolled her eyes. 6

"Er... we're not going shopping." Destiny stopped walking and turned to Imogen.7

"We're not?" Imogen gave a confused look.8

"Well... we know that you hate Olivia. Gerard new girlfriend. So, we thought..." Destiny smiled evilly.9

"You thought that? Thats it?" Imogen rolled her eyes once more.10

"Hey, dont get cheeky! No. We thought that you might need a break. So we're going to that gun place. You know the place where you can shoot boards?!" Fate grinned.11

"Yay!" 12

"Darian. Tell me. Why are teenagers such whiners?" Satan threw his drink around. 13

"Err... I dont know..." Darian glared at the computer.14

"I mean. You buy them diamonds. And they start... going on... about how you know nothing about them!" While throwing it around, Satan spilt half of his drink on the floor. 15

Darian frowned at this, he was Satans apprentice. And knew how crazy Satan got, when he didnt understand his daughter. Unfortunatley Imogen wasnt a very social person, and didnt like to tell someone if she was feeling sad. Darian would know. He raised Imogen for a short while in her life. 16

"And. About all of this 'I dont like you'. I looked after her!!" Satan shouted.17

"I know." Darian sighed. He knew how hard Satan tried to act fatherly. 18

"You know nothing!" It was clear by the way he spoke, that Satan was drunk. "I cant believe that girl!"19

"Hehe. DIE BARBIE!!" Imogen pulled the trigger.20

"Wow. She's tormented." Fate commented.21

"Totally." Destiny rested her hand on her hip, and gazed at Imogen sympathetically.22

Imogen rested the gun on the shelf, and happily strode out of the small room. She smiled at Destiny and Fate. They smiled back. 23

"I love you guys!" Imogen clenched her fists, and squeezed her eyes closed. "You're so Awesome!"24

"We know." Destiny was still smiling. 25

Fate elbowed Destiny, who jolted upright. Shook her head, and glanced at the ceiling.26

"So. Where next? Want to go get something to eat?" Destiny stared at Imogen, waiting for an answer.27

Imogen yawned and stretched upright, "I'm not hungry. Pretty tired though!" 28

"We'll take you home. It is early though. Why are you tired at this time of the DAY?" Fate asked with a puzzling look.29

"I dont know." Imogen shrugged. 30

"DARIAN!" 31

Darian took his time to get to the main room. He knew what dreadful state Satan was in. But couldnt be bothered to run. It wouldnt be an emergency. So why waste the physical strength?32

The doors opened, and Darian stepped inside. "Yes."33

"Why."34

"Why what?" Darian was a listener, but seemed impatient for some reason.35

"Why... is Imogen... so difficult?" Satan asked, using empasis in his words.36

"How do you mean?" 37

"She rejects people? She's so sad? And bitter? And its to me. She's fine... with... Toy... and Gerard... Destiny, Fate, Spike, Frank, YOU even! But yet. She hates me? Her father. How?" Satan let his head roll around afew times.38

"She knows me more..."39

"HAH! You, more than me. Her own flesh and blood!" Satan allowed afew minutes to pass by. 40

Darian knew what Satan was thinking and refused himself permission to interfere with his thoughts.41

Satan knew he wasnt the best of dads. But... he had tried. 42

"I... I... guess..." Satan stared coldly into the space infront of him. 43

The doors slid shut behind him. Satan turned around to see Darian had left the room. 44

The room was now cold... colder than it had been. And it felt empty, and lonely. It was afew minutes until Satan realise, that it was him who felt colder... and empty... and lonely. 45

Imogen stared into the mirror. Her eyes still had eye-liner on. Long lasting eye-liner. How stupid. Even after washing her face two times... why would someone waste their life on trying to create something ... so pointless. Imogen couldnt help but think of this. As she stared into the mirror she noticed, that her eyes were dark brown. She never knew that one's eyes would change colour. Well... she wasnt normal. What did she expect? They were usually sky blue...   46

"Who are you?" The words just slipped out of her mouth. 47

And the longer she stared at herself... the longer she wanted answers.48
