Thalia nodded at his words. She knew he was right. She absolutely dreaded the dark and her house was far away. She was never going to be able to make before it got pitch black out. She rubbed her arm, trying to decide on what to do. She saw him talking on the phone and knew it probably wouldn't be smart to listen in on the conversation. She brushed past him, walking fast, wanting to get out of the dark. She found herself at the door of his house once again. She was so stupid. She knew she was probably stepping right into a trap an she wouldn't wake up in the morning because he would've killed her. She didnt care though. She would rather take her chances in there then walk home in the dark. She stepped back into the house and laid down on the couch, unsure if she should take the bed or not.
Crispin hung up and walked into the house. "There's a bed room upstairs you can take. Which ever one you want is fine" he said and walked into the kitchen. He sat down at the dinning table and took the manila folder out of his jacket pocket. He opened it up and started looking through it.
Thalia watched as the demon walked in. She really didnt want to be here. She nodded when he said she could take the bed. She stood up and walked up the stairs. She found the bedroom and went in, turning in all the lights before lying on the bed. It smelled horrible, but there wasn't anything she could do about it. What had she gotten herself into. She laid her head on the pillow and pulled the covers over her body, still in her dress. She sighed and closed her eyes, willing herself to fall asleep.
Crispin finished reading through the files Charles stole and then put the folder in his safe, which was hidden under the couch. He walked into the living room and knelt down next to the couch. He reached under it and pulled out a small box. He twisted the sides around a bit, like a Japanese puzzle box. Once he was finished with the puzzle part, the box grew into a full sized safe. Crispin opened that up with yet another code and stuck the folder in it before closing it, and making it small again. He then stuff the small box in his pocket and ran upstairs. He walked into the room with the angel in it. He looked at her for a second before grabbed his bag of clothes and walking out.
Thalia heard the demon coming up the steps and enter the room. She couldn't smell him because the bed smelled so strongly of him it masked him. She peeked her eyes open to see him grabbing a bag of clothes. Where was he headed? She didnt want to be left all alone in this house, even though he was a demon. At least now she knew that he wasn't planning on killing her. That was a good thing she guessed. When he left the room she closed her eyes again and tried to fall asleep.
Crispin walked into the living room and set his bag on the couch. He opened it and pulled out a black shirt. He then took off his jacket and pulled the shirt on. He put his jacket back on and then closed his bag before sitting on the couch. He pulled hi his shirt and looked at his wound for a moment, before standing up and grabbing his bag. He was ready to go now.
The scent of the demon was making a strong headache form. Thalia wished she would've walked home in the dark. It seemed more pleasant than lying in a demon's bed, trying to fall asleep. She felt good for helping him today. He may be a demon, but everyone needs help every once and a while. Including him. Thalia yawned and turned to her side, finding it far more comfortable and eventually fell asleep.
Crispin was about to leave the house when he saw four demons walking around in front of the house. He didn't think they knew where he was, but he wasn't in a good enough shape to fight for of them so he stayed inside and ran upstairs. He went into the bedroom the angel was in and threw his bag to the ground. He shut and locked the door behind him. Then he pulled the sting that hung from the ceiling in the corner. It pulled down the hidden door to the attic. He went up to the attic and from there on to the roof, where he just watched the demons. To see where they were going.
Thalia had finally fallen asleep. She dreamt of being up in heaven, having a good time with her angel friends, not here on earth sleeping on a demon's bed. Just the thought of that repulsed her. What were her friends going to think of her sleeping in a demon's house. Surely nothing good. She heard a door slam close and jump up, sitting up in the bed to see the demon pulling down a string into an attic. She watched him walk up the wooden stairs to it, wondering what he was doing and why he hadnt left yet. She saw that he had thrown his bags down on the floor. What was going on. She slid out of the bed, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She stood at the bottom of the attic steps, not wanting to go up. "What's going on?" She called out to the demon, letting her curiosity get the best of her.
After a few moments Crispin climbed back inside and just stood in the attic. Then he heard the angels voice and sighed. He walked over to the entrance to the attic, "There are four high level demons outside" he said and walked away from the door and over to a window to look outside again.
What the demon said to her sent shiver down Thalia's spine. What were they doing here? What did they want? She knew it had been a horrible mistake to stay here. There was no way she could get out of this mess without getting hurt. She was surrounded by demons. She ran a shaky hand through her hair, not sure what to do. She sat back down on the bed and began thinking. She eyes the window across the room. Maybe age could fly straight up to heaven and not come back down. That sounded amazing, but the darkness was too much. She couldn't step foot out of here without some sort of light.
After a moment Crispin jumped down from the attic, "Don't worry, they don't know what house I'm in" he said and quickly tossed the safe box thing that was in his jacket pocket under the bed. Just in case he was caught. "Oh by the way, my name is Crispin." he said not really looking over at her as he dug through his bag. After a moment he pulled out a small chest and smiled. "Good I still have it" he muttered and got up. He went back up into the attic and then onto the roof.
Thalia kept her eyes locked on the window. She was debating if she should stay here with the demon and risk the four other ones outside finding them or take off into the sky ad be safe but she couldn't stand the darkness so there was no way she could do that. She glanced over at the demon when he came out of the attic, telling her not to worry, but that was exactly what she was doing. That was the only thing she knew how to do at the moment. There wasn't anything else for her to think about but the darkness outside and the demons that could find them at any given moment. She watched as he tossed something underneath the bed where she sat. He told her his name and she cocked her head slightly at it. What a strange name. "Thalia." She told him as she watched him dig through his bag and then go back up into the attic.
Crispin climbed back onto the roof and laid across the top then he opened the small chest and pull out a small blow dart gun. He loaded it with a poison dart. Then he sat up a bit aimed and blew the dart out of the gun. The dart hit one of the demon on the back of the neck and a few moment's later he few to the ground.The other demons didn't know what happened but they knew something was up and that Crispin was close.
Crispin smiled and loaded the gun again, he aimed and shot again hitting another one. He only had one dart left though so he would have to fight one of them. So he aimed and hit the stronger one. Then he sighed and put the dart gun back in the chest before going back inside. He climbed down from the attic and put the chest back in his clothing bag before unlocking the bed room door. "I'll be right back" he said before going downstairs.
Thalia sat bored on the bed. She wanted to leave, yet at the same time she didnt. She played with the hem of her dress out of habit as she wondered what the demon was doing, but she didnt dare ask not did she go up onto the attic. Tht was none of her business and it was bad enough that he was invading his privacy by being in his house. She saw him come back out of the attic once again with the same small chest in his hands. She watched him put it back in his clothing bag and tell her that he was going to be right back. Was he really? Or was he just going to leave her for the demons? Se sighed and stayed on the bed, not really having a better option.
Crispin went outside, "Looks like it's just you an me" he yelled at the last remaining demon. "Looks like your friends came down with something" he said and his sword appeared in his hand. He wasn't back to full strength, but he was still pretty sure he could beat this demon. The other demon, Krane, smirked "Finally you've stopped hiding and came out to play" he said as his own sword appeared in his hand.
"Aw you know me, I always come fashionably late" Crispin said.
"Just give us the folder and we'll let you live" Krane said.
Crispin nodded, "Sorry, wouldn't give it to you even if I thought you were going to win this fight" he said and twirled his sword.
Krane smiled coldly, and two more demons fell from the sky and landed next to him.
Crispin nodded, "Yeah, still not giving it to you" he said. Then he jumped on the balls of his feet for a moment, getting ready for the fight.
Kuala, and Braket, the two that just arrived ran at Crispin, while Krane stayed back and watched.
Swords clanged and clashed, blood was spilled, and two head eventually rolled across the ground. Kuala and Braket laid on the ground dead, their head a few feet away.
Crispin was injured again, the wound on his stomach was bleeding again, and he had a few new scraps but he was still ready to fight Krane. "So" he said with a smile. "you ready to give up, or do you want to die" he asked.
Krane glared at Crispin, "I'll be back" he said and then he ran away and was gone in seconds
Crispin smiled and laughed softly, "Pansy" he yelled. Then a moment later he felt light headed and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Thalia had been sitting on the bed for quite some time now. She was silently wondering to herself what was taking so long for Crispin to return. She sighed, feeling the sudden urge to go check on him. She got up from the bed and ventured down the stairs, opening the door ever so slowly, unsure if what was outside. She couldn't see a single thing because it was so dark. She knew she needed to suck it up because Crispin might be in danger and she might need to help him. Why was she so worried about him. She took one step out into the darkness and whimpered a little, scared of what might be out there. She took a few more steps out and found herself running now. She had no idea where she was going but she felt her feet her caught on something and she feel to the ground, scraping her knees. She felt around to see what she had tripped over. It felt like an actual person. "Crispin?" Age whispered. "Crispin is that you?" She had no idea who it was, but it smelled like a demon so maybe it was him. Thalia felt tears welling in her eyes. She didnt like it out here one bit. It felt like someone was watching her.
Crispin groaned softly and sat up, "Thalia?" he asked, and shook his head slightly. "What are you doing out here" he asked as he slowly got to his feet. He wobbled a bit but managed to stay standing. He walked over to Thalia, was had tripped over Braket.
Thalia's eyes shot up to where Crispin stood. She looked back down at what she tripped over. It must have been another demon. She cringed back. She looked around nervously, wondering how many more demons were out here with her. Had this all been a trap? "You were taking a long time." She told him quietly. All she wanted to do was to get out of the darkness. She rubbed her cut knees, trying to soothe them but it just wasn't working.
"Yeah well I was fighting demons" Crispin said and pulled her to her feet. "Come one you should get inside" he said and let her go before walking inside himself. He walked inside and went to the couch again, were he collapsed.
"I see that." She said, her eyes wide with fear as he pulled her to her feet, away from the dead demon. She wanted to get far away from the dark and his offer of coming back inside sounded amazing. She followed him back inside and let out a sigh. She wasn't in the dark anymore and now she wasn't freaking out, but when she saw Crispin fall on the couch her heart beater faster as she rubbed the back of her neck nervously. "C-can I help in any way?" She asked, not sure if he wanted it.
"No, I'm fine" Crispin said and sat up a bit to look at her. "Just go back to bed. You can sleep a few hours before we should leave leave" he said and laid back down. When he said we leave, just just meant in general not necessarily together.
Thalia nodded, understanding. She had a huge urge to help him, but he wouldn't let her and she wasn't going to push it with this demon. She wasn't sure what he meant about the word we, but she was so tired she didnt even care. She walked back up the stairs without a word and went back to bed, now even bothering to pull the covers over her body and fell asleep right when her head hit the pillow.
After a moment Crispin stood up and walked over to the downstairs bathroom. He then stripped out of his clothes and hoped in the shower. He washed out his old and new wounds. He also scrubbed the crusty dried blood off. Once he was done he gout out of the shower and dried off. Then he quickly dressed the more serious wounds and put his clothes back on.
Thalia was so tired she didnt even stir. She didnt dream either. Being in the dark had worn her out so much she couldn't deal with it. She didnt like being in a demon's house, but it was only for a night. What was the worst that could happen? She had already witnessed him killing other ones and been out in the dark. Would he really kill her in her sleep? She tried to push those thoughts out of her was because she knew they would only led to nightmares and she didnt want that. She promised herself that she would be long gone as soon as she woke up.
Crispin walked out of the bathroom and and went upstairs. He silently went into the room Thalia was in. He grabbed his bag of closes then left. He ran out of the house and down the street. He had no reason to stay there and he needed to get going.
Thalia woke up the next morning. She sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She liked around confused, not knowing where she was. Everything that happened last night came flooding back into her mind. She slid out of the demon's bed quickly, but able to stan the smell any longer. She rushed out of the room, needing to get out and get some fresh air. She hurried down the stairs and walked out of the house, not even seeing if the demon was still there. She didnt really care either. She wanted to get out an that was exactly what she did.
Crispin sighed as he walked into another house, this time he didn't even bother with sending the humans away. He just killed the old lady and stuffed her in the basement. Then he set his place up and went upstairs to sleep.
"What do you want?" Charles asked a bit rudely. "I was just about to get in bed with the leader's lady dude. Stop cock blocking me"
Crispin laughed and shook his head slightly. Then he walked away from the angel and back towards the house. "Sorry, just making sure you were still breathing. Just got attacked by some of the rebels. They knew I had the info. Thought you might have been caught.
"Right, well then I'll be out tomorrow then" Charles said, not bothering to ask if his friend was alright. If he wasn't then he wouldn't have called.
Crispin smiled and shook his head slightly, "Yeah okay" he said.
