School trip to the museum? Might as well make it fun

Outfit: Hat, t-shirt and jeans

“Fuck!” suppressing the anger that had filled him, he opened an application which showed his friends whereabouts. The museum. With a frown he tightened his jaw, and put his phone away. “Hey I gotta go, man. See you tomorrow ‘kay?” he left his shoppingbags next to one of his friends, patting him on the shoulder, taking some of his power, before he turned around and started running. As he ran, he made sure to touch as many people on his way as he could, loading up on power.
He was not far away, and soon he was on the opposite side of the museums entrance. There was no time to run all the way around! He stopped for a moment, and looked around him, before he chose to jump over a fence into the back area of the museum. He rushed towards the backdoor. Hopefully he could get there in time. As he approached the back door, the sensation of an archangel was almost booming in his direction. Why would an archangel be after Caroline and shooting at her? The closer to the backdoor he got, the more he could feel and smell fellow demons. Alright, maybe it was the demons who were the problem. Was Erin there too?

The demon looked at Caroline and pulled her closer. “Hmm… Evolved, huh…” He was certainly taking his time. Caroline was till hopelessly trying to get out of his grip gasping for her breath and groaned in pain. She felt something new, like a tingeling in her hands. For a second she thought it was her body, trying to tell her that she was dying, but shortly after, it seemed like the demons hand began to freeze. He instantly let go of her. But as soon as she hit the ground, her feet made ice on the floor, so she slipped and fell onto the ground and knocked herself out. The demon cursed and tried to control what normally was his ability, but nothing happened. His ability had been absorbed into Caroline. As soon as his fellow demon arrived and said they had to go, he nodded. “Yeah, let’s go. Watch out, the floor is frozen, and I can’t do anything about it,” he said, before he bowed down to throw Caroline over her shoulder and walked towards the backdoor, right after his friend.

Benjamin kicked the thick metaldoor open, so it flew of the hinges and into the museum. The smell of Carolines blood made it clear that she was right inside, which his eyes confirmed as he saw to demons, with both his friends over their shoulders. With no thought, he took his phone from his backpocket and threw in the direction of the demon which were holding Erin, aiming for the head. Right after, he turned towards the doorframe. As if it was like pulling magnets from each other, he pulled off the long side of the doorframe and threw towards the demon who hold Caroline – if he was lucky he would hit both demons.

One down. But he last demon standing seemed tough. Erin had been dropped to the ground, and her gasping for air, made it clear that she was conscious. So far so good. Her skin had been torn by glass pieces, and her blood reached his nose. Benjamin was almost about to pull of the top of the doorframe off, to throw it towards the last standing demon, but he stopped. The demon had grabbed Erin by the leg and around Caroline’s neck and he was put into an ultimatum. He had to choose. Right now, it would only take a firm grip for the demon to break Caroline’s neck. Erin seemed to be awake, and it was more likely that he could save them both, if he chose Caroline.
Oh, what was that?

The strong aura was filling the room, and Benjamin caught eye contact with the archangel who nodded towards Caroline. Did she want him to choose her too? There must’ve been a good reason, but maybe the archangel was able take Erin to safety? Benjamin lowered his arms, and threw the doorframe to the side, as he looked from Erin to Caroline. Tick-tock.
“Give me the human,” he almost growled. The demon glanced at Caroline and then Erin.
“You’re not important to him” he said, just to provoke Benjamin, pulling every second to the maximum. Tightening his grip just a tiny bit more on both Erin’s leg and Caroline’s throat. “Here you go, demon boy. As promised,” he said and tossed Caroline, like if she was a crumbled piece of paper. He had a bad aim, so Benjamin had to jump to the side, to catch Caroline, so she wouldn’t collide with the stonewalls. As soon as he was in contact with Caroline, he gave her some of the power he had loaded up on his way. Hopefully she could heal faster with that. She seemed icecold. What had happened? Why was she so cold? With the speed that Caroline had been thrown with, Benjamin had to take a couple of steps back, towards the wall, to get his balance back. He only just took a second, to sense her heart beating, before he put her down against the wall looking up towards the demon and Erin.

Benjamin hated how his fellow demons could be so cruel. Why did they have to say such things? It certainly made Benjamin think about talking to Erin afterwards, so that she knew she was important to him. He really liked her. Benjamins eyes met with the demons head being cut of and his ears heard Erin gasp in pain. Why wasn’t the archangel catching Erin? He was slightly disappointed in her. The way she shortly after killed the demon on the ground, turning him to ash, made a lump appear in his throat. Was he going to die attempting to save his friends? Probably yes. Was it going to be today? Hopefully not.

His brown eyes were locked at the archangel. He didn’t trust her yet. She seemed to have a big hatred for demons. Unlucky, Benjamin. Even when Erin talked to the archangel, he didn’t take his eyes of her. He was not done protecting his loved ones. Their conversation gave Benjamin a clue that Erin and the archangel were close – very close. Was it Erin who had called for her?
I can’t heal them. Benjamin frowned at looked down at Caroline, worried for her. He was determined that he needed to get her somewhere safe, where she could heal. A hospital maybe? He squatted down next to her putting her into his arms and lifted her from the ground. If the archangel couldn’t do a thing, he had to do something himself. His ears had been observant for the archangel getting closer. He wasn’t going to let his guard down.
Her command got him to look at her. Looking deeply into her eyes, trying to figure out if she was plotting something. But he didn’t hesitate for more than a split second before he took her hand.

They were transported into a place Benjamin never had been at – and probably never was supposed to be at. The place was very light and almost blinding. It didn’t take long before multiple angles approached and took the two girls away. In pure instinct, he wanted to follow, so he could give them more power, so everything might be more effective, but he was stopped, and held back by Eos. His eyes glanced over to her. Why did she have to interfere? Her words made him sigh and let his eyes look forward again, seeing how the two girls soon disappeared. Of course, it made sense that no angel wanted help from a demon.

As Eos once again commented on him just being there he turned to her, looking quite unsatisfied. “I can’t do that,” he said, “I have to protect them. That’s my only intention,” he said with a small frown. Of course he liked both girls, which was why he wanted to protect them. He wanted them to stay alive. He felt such a big need to protect the ones he loved, that he wouldn’t know what to do with himself, if he wasn’t allowed to protect those who he loved. Sometimes, when he went to bed, his thoughts wandered; thinking about if his soul had ended up in the wrong body; as if he should’ve been born as a guardian angel, protecting everyone. He usually though how his world would’ve been different, if he hadn’t been born a demon.

Soon Erin appeared and a bright smile appeared on his lips, as soon as she was in sight. He wanted to approach her, hug her and ask if she was feeling alright – but he knew better. He knew very well that Eos wouldn’t think twice about putting him down. He therefore nodded approvingly towards Erin, to let her know that he had seen her and was happy to see she was recovered. But something didn’t add up. Why wasn’t Caroline on her feet? Once his eyes glanced behind Erin, to see if the girl was hiding somewhere, but she was nowhere to be seen. Clearly Erin had seen his reaction, as she had replied to the question his eyes seemed to be asking. “Alright,” he sighed softly with a bright smile. He wanted to see her, so he could know if she was still as ice cold as she had been when she was in his arms.
Benjamins eyes glanced over at Eos, as she mentioned ‘ending him’, but almost as he looked at her, she seemed to have teleported away. As if tension left his shoulders, they lowered as he looked back at Erin. “I get it. She cares for you, just like I do.” He said with a slight smile. “How’re you feeling?” he asked. He didn’t want to step closer just yet. He couldn’t know if the archangel was luring somewhere just waiting for him to get closer.


Caroline was somewhat alright. Her wounds were healed, but her temperature was colder than normally. Her body was stable and didn’t seem to take damage of the colder temperature. Right now, while she was sleeping, it seemed like the power she had absorbed from the demon was just working passively.

Benjamin didn’t do anything at all against her, as she deepened the kiss a bit. He followed, feeling how everything seemed to slow down. She pulled away, and he let her slide however much she wanted out of his embrace. If she wanted to stay close, he would support her so she wouldn’t have to carry all of her weight on her toes. He sighed quietly, catching his own breath, and hearing her heartbeat. He opened his eyes slightly later than her, shaking his head lightly; thinking. His mouth was open, as if he tried to find the correct words to say. “I-… I’m sorry,” he said and frowned, closing his eyes. “I haven’t really…” kissed anyone before – no he couldn’t say that. He opened his eyes and looked into hers. “Can I try one more time?” he asked.
