ThingAWESOME and Veronica
But Shetan resurrected one night. Although, he wasn't happy to know he had been gone for only a month. He had hoped to be gone for a decade, or even longer, or even forever. He pushed himself out of his coffin and out of the dirt, rising.
Areca was working wet the bar though her shift would soon finish. Though it wasn't her home anymore, Alexa had been living in Shetan's mansion since that day. She watched Shetan's favorite shows and movies and ate chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream whenever she could. Once her shift was over she closed the bar for the night and left for 'home'.
Shetan went back into the mansion and searched the place, pleased to see that she was not there. Thinking that she would never come back, Shetan relaxed back in the couch and rested.
Alexa walked into the house, seeing her purse onto a chair and walking right past Shetan, going to the kitchen for I've cream before she shrieked and did a double take. "you! How-how are you-!?" She stared at him.
Angered that she was still coming here, Shetan stood up in a flash and glared at her. "I have the power to resurrect."
"you do?" She stared at him. "that would have been nice to know a month ago." She muttered "but I'm glad to see you're okay. Do you want some ice cream?" She asked casually as sheer made herself a bowl. She want really fazed by his glared but it did shock her that he was here.
"No, thank you," Shetan growled, crossing his arms.
She shrugged "suit yourself." She took the bowl into the living room and sat on the couch, watching the comedy show that Shetan liked. "i see why you think thus guy is so funny now." She told him. "by the way, i cleaned all the rooms, cleaned up the cemetery and fixed up the yard. You're welcome." She sent him a slight smile before returning to watching the TV.
Shetan turned his back to her. He would not talk to her or look at her. He then decided to immediately leave, and he slammed the door as he went into his room.
Alexa sighed. "why does he still hate me? He's the one that over reacted to the whole thing..." She muttered.
An hour later, Shetan came out after he let himself steam for a while. He was still grumpy, but not as bad. He plopped himself down in the couch and watched TV.
Alexa glanced at him. She had already put her bowl in the sink and just watched the TV. "so what was it like? Like sleeping?" She asked, referring to his resurrection.
Shetan didn't look at her. "It was quite nice. I enjoyed myself in the afterlife."
"that's good. I'm glad you had a nice time." She smiled softly at him before returning to watching the tv. "and don't worry. I'll be out of the house from seven in the morning until about the time i came home earlier. So i shouldn't bother you too much."
"Weren't you able to find another house to live in during this time I was gone?"
"not really. Of course, i never really looked either." She shrugged. "besides, i wanted to take care of the mansion since you couldn't..." She murmured.
"Thanks," Shetan muttered as he kept watching TV with a grumpy, cold expression. He crossed his arms.
Alexa remained silent after that. Once the show was over she stood "I'm going to bed, good night." She normally slept in Shetan's room but decided that wouldn't be the best idea so she went to one of the other rooms. But nit hers. Hers was empty after she cleared out all the destroyed furniture.
Shetan went up into his room and lay down in bed. But as he lay there, he began to feel heartbreak, the urge to cry getting stronger and stronger. Tears started coming out.
Alexa, like most nights, couldn't really fall asleep. She sighed as she wondered what Shetan was doing. (ff to morning?)
((Yeah.))
Shetan, however, forced himself to stop, and he fell asleep.
Shetan, however, forced himself to stop, and he fell asleep.
When morning came, Alexa got ready for work. She put on the tight during uniform and pulled her hair up into a ponytail. She didn't bother to say goodbye to Shetan as she grabbed her purse to leave. He probably didn't care anyway.
Shetan was a lazy bum, so he kept sleeping deeply. He slept calmly, but not peacefully in his dreams.
Alexa left, closing the front door behind her. Another day at work. She went to the bar and started cleaning.
Shetan got up later and fed himself and ate ice cream and watched TV. When night came, he was lying in bed, awake and thinking.
Alexa came home and went to her room, changing into her night clothes. She muttered to herself about how much she hated the men that went to the bar.
Shetan closed his eyes as he heard her going into her room.
She sat in the bed and sighed. She didn't feel like eating that night so she just laid down and starred at the ceiling.
This time, Shetan felt heartache that was so extreme, and it hit him suddenly and hard. He hid his face in the sheets and began to sob bitterly, his huge body shaking with every deep, pitiful sob.
Alexa stiffened when she heard Shetan's sobs. She quietly got up and went towards his room. She knocked on the door gently "Shetan...?" She called, concern in her voice.
"Alexa!" Shetan cried out as if in pain, burying his face in the sheets again and continuing to sob.
She opened the door and slowly went to him. "Shetan..." She stroked his hair softly but was waiting for him to hit her or yell at her to leave him alone.
Shetan buried his face in her lap and continued to sob. "Forgive me..." he managed to whisper through his sobs.
She ran her fingers through his hair. "i already did." She murmured to him. "I've been waiting for you to forgive me..." She said, tears pricking at her eyes. "please, don't cry."
"For what?" Shetan muttered, continuing to cry.
"for leaving. For hurting you. For being the reason you killed yourself... For making you cry like this." The tears slid down her cheeks. "for making you hate me..."
"I forgive you," Shetan sobbed after a pause.
She smiled softly and hugged him "then, please, stop crying. There is no reason to cry." She murmured to him.
Shetan slowly calmed down and was silent. He moved away from her lap.
The smile slipped off her face and she looked down. "i-I'll leave now, if you want." She murmured.
Shetan rolled onto his back and grabbed her hand tightly, not wanting her to leave.
She stared at him for a moment before squeezing his hand softly and laying down beside him.
Shetan released her hand and felt more comforted.
Alexa curled up beside him and fell asleep, sleeping better than she had for a long time.
Shetan had his arms around her as he fell asleep peacefully.
Alexa woke up and slipped out of Shetan's arms, silently getting dressed for work.
Shetan woke up a little later and got up.
Alexa left a now saying she would be home early that day.
Shetan got the note before eating and watching TV.
Alexa had given Shetan a proper burial and left heaven. After that, age couldn't bring herself to harm any other demons. She was now officially a fallen angel. During the day she hid her wings and worked at a human bar as a bar tender. She was surprisingly good at it and her presence there kept make customers coming back. She often thought of Shetan but that would only bring tears to her eyes.
