Something Fishy

Still digging through the duffel bag he pulled out some clothes, throwing them into an untidy pile next to him. Then zipping up the bag he walked over to the wardrobe and pushed it in.

She watched him carefully; examining him, 'he sure looks threatening, I'll give him that. But he hasn't actually hurt me; I mean, besides from throwing me about like a sack of potatoes. He also saved me from Bill.. Bill. What got into him, he wasn't acting like himself. It was like he was being controlled'. She looked back at him, 'he's not like any kidnapper I've seen on tv. I thought they were meant to be abusive and demanding some sort of ransom for my release.. not like I want that to happen but still'.

All of a sudden she was hit with a force so hard, it knocked her off her chair. "Ouchhh what the-", looking down she saw she'd been hit with a ball of clothes. She looked up to see him smirking to himself, she scowled at him.

"Pay back" he mouthed.

".. pay back? Pay back for what?"

He turned suddenly serious staring accusingly at her.

Almost instantly she recalled the scene from her house, images of him laying on the ground barely able to breathe went flashing through her brain, "Ohh.. that" she said feeling a little guilty. 'You deserved it though'.

"Yeah that". He turned towards the door, "get changed and try to get some sleep, I'm going out to pick up a few thin-"

"-What? I don't get it, you want me.. the person you just kidnapped. To stay willingly in a small motel room.. while you what? Go grab a little snack?"

He pretended to act confused ".. why would I need a snack when I have you?" He winked, about to go out the door.

'I bet he think this serious but flirty act he has going for him is going to make me fall head over heals for him. Making me do whatever he wants willingly. It might work on other girls, but I've watched enough romance movies to know these types of guys are always the heartbreakers, the fuckboys which jump from girl to girl. Sorry freckles, but I'm immune'.

'.. I'm betting he even has daddy issues'.

She got up and ran in front of him, just in time to stop him from leaving. "At least tell me what happened back there, Why did you sneak into my house? And why did Bill suddenly try to attack me? Better yet, why am I still being kept hostage?"

He was silent for a couple seconds, like he was deciding whether or not to say anything. "Alright" he leaned on the door frame, "the human Bill, was possessed by an angel. He'd been watching over you for some time now, why he decided to attack tonight and for what reason, I still don't know".

"Wait, an angel tried to attack me? I thought they were pure and couldn't commit sins. Besides, they walk WITH us, not IN us.. right?" It sounded less like a statement and more like she was trying to reassure herself.

"e er wrong. Angels are fully capable of possessing humans. Being pure and sinless is just a facade they put up to manipulate human kind. In reality, it couldn't be farther from the truth"

"So basicallyy, what you're saying is angels are.. bad?"

"uh huh"

"The same angels which gifted us their presence in order to create a better world?"

He scoffed, "depends what you mean by 'better' darlin"

"So if angels are the bad guys.. who are the good guys?"

"Us."

"Us?" she looked up at him questionably.

He stared straight into her eyes, "Devils"

".. "

"Don't look at me like that"

"I'm sorry. But devils? Weren't they all killed off centuries ago by the angels?".

"And who told you that?"

"The ang-.. oh"

"Ahh so she does have a brain" he mocked.

"okay Mr. Devil, say you're telling the truth and angels are as bad as you claim they are. How does kidnapping me have anything to do with this?"

"Well you see tiny, I'm here to protect you. Like a bodyguard of sorts. I'm taking you to a safe place where you can rest easy till all of this blows over"

She looked at him, still not buying it. "Why do I need to be protected? I'm perfectly capable of handling myself" she remarked crossing her arms on her chest.

"I'm sure you are" he chuckled, "but unless you want a whole bunch of angels on your cute little *** attacking you 24/7, I suggest you stick with me"

"And why should I trust anything that comes out of your mouth? I barely know you and you're claiming to be a devil"

"That's you're own decision to make"
