Friends In Hatred And In Love

In the wake of a devastating war that claimed the lives of half the world's population, a fragile peace was sought among the three distinct creatures that inhabited the realm. To cement this fragile peace, a sanctuary was envisioned—a place where all three species could coexist without the looming threat of annihilation. However, a particular race held firm to their kind, reluctant to yield even a fraction of their population, creating an unsettling dilemma: the shortage of humans. As time elapsed, the other creatures perceived this shortage of human inhabitants as a display of human superiority, a stance that escalated tensions. Before matters spiraled further into chaos, an unexpected figure intervened—none other than the devil himself. Paradoxically, the architect of the peace initiative, the devil shouldered the responsibility of integrating humans into this shared sanctuary. But his methods were far from benevolent; he sought out those humans who had no other viable choices, manipulating circumstances to ensure their inclusion. His first target in this orchestrated plan was Emily. Emily, the central figure in this narrative, bore a harrowing past, marked by unfathomable acts—brutally murdering her biological father and boyfriend. Granted a second chance at life, she aimed to leave her haunting past behind, yet the weight of her history proved inescapable. However, amidst this shadowed past, a glimmer of hope emerged; perhaps, someone might stand alongside her to confront the haunting echoes of her actions. As the devil orchestrated his designs to integrate humans into this fragile alliance, Emily stood as a focal point in his intricate plans. Her story encapsulated the struggle for redemption, the perennial conflict between one's past and the pursuit of a new beginning. Her journey mirrored the perennial battle with personal demons, a quest for absolution in the face of unforgiving memories. The devil's intervention, while shrouded in sinister intentions, presented an opportunity for Emily. Her path toward reconciliation and the pursuit of a new life unfolded amid the backdrop of a world grappling with the fragile threads of a newfound peace, juxtaposed against the shadows of a tumultuous past. Emily's journey toward redemption, entwined with the devil's machinations, marked a pivotal chapter in the delicate equilibrium between races and the profound yearning for a harmonious coexistence. ------------- A glimpse of her life: Emily: Why are you here? Beel: To bring you food! Emily: Didn't that girl offer to buy you expensive food? Beel: Yeah but eating with you is better, everything tastes good, especially the food you make me Emily (while smiling): What should we make? Beel: Fried chicken and rice! Emily: Okay, get the ingredients, I will see the kitchen Beel: Okay, don't start without me, I want to help! (he ran away while she put her hand on her beating chest and wondered if she was ready to move on)

Trauma

Raiin reached said the big tree and looked around for a cat, and found one at the top of the tree, at one of the branches that were high up; she looked at it for a long time before deciding to go up and see if it was really her brother's cat.

Even though Raiin was a demon and could easily climb up the tree in a few seconds, she had a fear of falling and dying, because that's what happened to her mother, it didn't kill her, it just made her stuck in a wheelchair and her mother preferred to kill herself than stay like that.

Anyway, no need to remember that tonight, she doesn't want to have nightmares of her mother screaming and asking for her help, so she quickly climbed the first branch and slowly went up the tree.

A few minutes later, she reached a pretty high-up branch and asked herself: "Why am I doing this? What if it's not Leo's cat and I just fall? I am stupid." Raiin just thought about the possibility of the cat being just a random street and the thought of her falling by accident, made her nervous and sweaty, that her hands were straight to also get sweaty, so when she tried to climb down, her hand didn't stick to the branch properly and her nightmare came true, well almost.

She closed her eyes and got ready to die, she was coming down at an incredible speed until suddenly everything stopped and she couldn't feel the branches hitting her back anymore, she opened her eyes to see someone carrying her, while being in midair, it was someone with black hair and white skin, who yawned as soon as she opened her eyes.

That person, when he saw her open her eyes, panicked and almost dropped her, he luckily didn't and just calmly lowered them and put her down, and said: "Next time, play in another tree, I don't want my nap disturbed again." He walked away while yawing, meanwhile, Raiin was still trying to process what was happening, her whole body was shaking and her hands were shaking the most, she tried to stop it but she couldn't.

"Stupid Raiin! You know you can't don't it, why try? What if I died? Dad and Paul will hate me if I did." Raiin was crying and remembering her family, she thought she was already over it, climbing a tree was nothing but child's play. "STUPID! STUPID!" Raiin was having a full-on breakdown and hitting herself for her stupidity and almost killing herself by being an idiot with no brain.

"Raiin? What's wrong?" A person approached her, but she didn't hear them and just continued blaming herself, the person got closer to her and got down on one knee, stopped her from hitting her head, and told her that it was all okay. She looked at that person, but with tears in her eyes, that person was blurry, she didn't care, she just put her head on their chest and started hearing their beating heartbeat, they are alive, they are not dead, that's good, her dad won't scream, hit and blame at her for killing another person now, that's good.

Raiin smiled and immediately fell asleep after that, that person held her in his arms for a few seconds, before he carried her to her room, he put her on her bed, covered her with a blanket, and stared at her for a few minutes, before leaving.

"Mammon, what are you doing?" Lucifer asked, when he saw Mammon come out of someone's room, he wasn't supposed to be there, his brothers were forbidden to enter this place.

"Nothing, I am going back to my room." Mammon said and walked away, with a complicated expression on his face, which got Lucifer worried, so he immediately went to Dolores's room and knocked on her door.

After a few minutes of waiting at her door, she opened the door with puffy eyes and messed up hair, when she saw him, she just sighed and said: "Sir, it's 4 am, I know I am technically your slave, but I don't want to give up my sleep, it's too precious for me."

"I am sorry about that; I have a new mission for you."

"Agh, I just came back from one."

"I am not telling you to do it now, I just need you to watch my younger brother Mammon, for the next few weeks, and make sure nothing suspicious is going on with him."

"Okay, can I go to sleep now?" Dolores said and was ready to close her door at any second, Lucifer nodded and excused her from the morning classes, and told her to sleep until the evening classes, where she would start watching Mammon.

Dolores happily got back to her bed, Kachan happy that she was back, so they could sleep together, until approximately an hour later, when he would start screaming and making Dolores regret her decision to not put him in his room, but that's an hour later, let's talk about now, like how Miko who was Dolores's neighbor heard their conversation because she was up and watching anime, the information didn't interest her that much, it was none of her business what anyone did, but she could sell this information to someone who would pay a lot of money to know about Lucifer's little slave.
