Her dark wings grew tired, so she stopped at the nearest city: Galveston, Texas. She landed on a piece of land in the ocean, only 50 feet from the beach, then swam 5 feet. She went above and under the water pretending to drown.
"Help! Help!" she gurgled, sounding helpless as possible. There were shouts and screams so Vanessa turned around to see a shark not three feet away from her. Smiling wickedly, she murmured to him in shark tongue and told him to attack. He swam, furious and hungry, toward a 5 year old girl wading in the shallows, then grabbed her leg and dragged her under, screaming and bloody. When the girl disappeared with him in the deep waters, people ran around screaming and crying.
Though she wanted to go to heaven, she had to sin. It was in her nature to do so, and she would die eternally if she didn't. Sin... Without it she would cripple up and die, as all demons would.
A boy, a teenager of about 17, swam up to her and, grabbing her across the breasts, dragged her to the shore. Vanessa coughed up water she had swallowed to add effect, then got up, thanking the boy, and started walking away. Vanessa, using her devil given talents, wooed the boy physically and and bent him to her will.
"Wait! Do you have a place to stay?" He asked her. When she nodded no he asked if she would like to stay at his place.
"If your girlfriend doesn't mind," she started with an innocent smile. She felt him hesitate at that, so she physically made him unconcerned.
"She just moved out to go to college," he said with pleasure. Vanessa agreed and, after exchanging names, they went to his house.
~~~~~*~~~~~
His house looked like the normal leave-the-house-Early's house; an apartment room. With only one bed, a T.V., a laptop, table, and chair it was a cramped, tight room.
Perfect for committing sin, Vanessa thought with another wicked smile.
"I'll sleep on the floor so you can have the bed," The boy, Trent she had learned, said courteously. Vanessa smiled her sexiest smile and started to slowly take her shirt off. Again, she used her physic powers.
"Or we could share." Trent gave her a wide eyed look and said,
"Okay," while slipping off all of his clothes and jumping in bed. Oh what wonderful sins, she thought joyously.
Male mortals are such hos, they don't even have enough conscience to care about sleeping with another woman while they have a girlfriend, Of course, it was just a joke, since it was her who was making him do so. Then she shed off the rest of her clothes and got into the bed.
~~~~~*~~~~~
"You have a tattoo," Trent said, sounding dazed.
"Yes," said Vanessa, stroking his face possessively. She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't help but like him a little bit. She bit her lip. I shouldn't be like this. I shouldn't like him this way, Vanessa thought unhappily. It was true; she had never liked a mortal this way. She had never felt this way ever.But... Maybe I'm in... She cut her thoughts short before they entered unwanted territory.
"I have to go, Trent dear," she said, feeling tears sting her eyes as she looked into Trent's sky blue ones.
"But...!" he started to argue. It was too late for arguing, because Vanessa had wiped his memory and made him fall asleep with her physic powers.
"Goodbye, my dear," she murmured before leaving the apartment room to the dark, unlit beach.
She sat on the soft beach sand and looked up at the cloudy, dark sky, pondering her existence, when her thoughts were interrupted by a dark, deep voice rumbling from the ground.
"Vanessa, you have been a very naughty girl."
*****~*****
This starts a few hours before Trent 'rescues' Vanessa then continues after that.
[spoiler]Angela is an angel, her Lord is God, and Lucifer is the devil.[/spoiler]
Angela flew over the hills and plains of Heaven and, golden hair flapping in the wind, finally reached her Lord's throne. She landed in front of it, blue eyes shining with excitement, then Cooley walked up to him. Bowing in his presence, she asked,
"You have requested my presence, my Lord?" He smiled gently at her, his jade green eyes sparkling also.
"Yes, my child, I have a job for you. One of the most important jobs an angel like yourself could have." He cupped his mocha hands and lowered them so she could see, then opened them. In his hands was a small orb that had an image of a boy with black hair and blue eyes staring up at them, though he clearly didn't see them. The Lord paused to let her look a bit longer then spoke up,
"His name is Trent. You are to watch him and take care of him, make sure no evil touches him. If so happens then Lucifer may win the war yet. Do you understand the importance of this boy?" Angela suddenly became serious and nodded quickly. If Lucifer won the war then all chaos would break loose, and one mortal was the one who hung the balance between chaos and goodness. To top it all off, she was the keeper of said mortal.
"Yes my Lord," She said frowning.
"Go check up on him soon, I have a feeling that something will be happening," Her Lord said. The Lord was all-knowing, so, of course, Angela quickly flew off after her Lord told her where to go.
~~~~~*~~~~~
Trent had some problems. He had moved out of his parents' house right after he had gotten his driver's licence and a job. Currently, he was living in a trashy apartment with prostitutes crawling all over the place and had a bad roach infestation. He had spent all of his money he had saved up on a laptop, love seat, coffee maker, and a second bed. Plus, he was a seventeen year old high school drop out. Angela sighed and thought, I have a lot of work to do.
She knocked on his door and, after playing some mind tricks to make him think they had been dating for a year and that she had just graduated from high school, walked in his room.
"Hi Trent," she greeted him when she walked into his semi-dark room. He turned around and smiled at her.
"Oh, hi Angela. I didn't' know that you were coming back so soon." Angela smiled back at him as warmly as possible. She had also made him think that they had been living there together for 10 months. Trent thought that Angela had been off looking for a college to go to, so, thinking quick she said,
"Yep. I decided on Harvard University." Trent looked taken aback.
"Harvard?" He asked incrediously, putting his arm around her shoulders. "But that's in Cambridge Massachusetts! Hundreds, maybe even thousands of miles away!" Angela smiled at him softly.
"Don't worry, i'll visit you everyday," she comforted him.
"But how are you going to..." Trent started, but Angela cut him off.
"Let me worry about that. I have to go now Trent. I have to get over there before they decide that i'm not coming." Trent started to argue, but Angela gave him a quick kiss on the cheek then left before he could. She walked through the murky hallway and walked out the door, so she could spread her glowing golden wings and take off upward to her home in heaven.
Tell me what you think of it!
It's my first one so be cruel and rip it to peices!
There were shouts and screams and Vanessa turned around, only to see a shark not three feet away from her.
Maybe I'll review your "before" section later. But, what I have so far:
Keep on writing.
