Heaven's Not Enough

@ Jaguar's Heart

Krahe smirked inwardly when he started to pace; she doubted it was of her doing, but pacing usually meant something was bothering the person or they were stressed. She watched him. "I don't think it quite matters who you are, unless you think you can somehow rival Lucifer's power, which is very unlikely unless he's like..your father or something. I don't think even his sons could pull that off though," she said reasonably.

(nope; I'm pretty lax with roleplays. As long as the plot is interesting, I'll almost always go with it xD)

((Sweet!))

Shax glared at her, his eyes narrowing when she mentions Lucifer's sons, "So you think. Have you met any of his sons? How do you know if they are powerful enough or not?" he stomped to her, hands landing on the top of the chair by her shoulders and leaning over her, "You know nothing! Nothing about Lucifer or this war." He leaned in closer, nose right against hers, "So don't you tell me I'm not powerful enough." he growled

Krahe could tell almost immediately that she had hit a chord by the anger she could feel coming out of him, and it took her a bit by surprise. As he mentioned himself in his rant though, she realized that he was one of Lucifer's sons. That almost made her laugh: almost. She thought about telling him that he wouldn't have needed to take an angel hostage if he was powerful enough, but she really did not like him so close to her, and so she did something she never imagined herself doing. She jerked against the ropes, opening her mouth and bit down. She had meant to bite his nose, but her aim was a bit off because of the restrictions, and she ended up with his bottom lip between her teeth. ((had to xD))

Shax's eyes widened as she gripped his lip between her teeth. His pupils dilated, then, with her teeth still biting him, he grinned and leaned in closer. One hand lifted and framed her jaw, forcing her mouth open and her lips to release him, but before she could close her mouth he pressed his lips to hers, tongue entering and forcing a kiss. Of course, he kept his hand on her jaw, making sure she wouldn't bite him any more. Then again... he hadn't expected to enjoy the kiss so much.

((Hope you don't mind. I know you don't want NC-17 so just let me know if I go too far.))

Krahe had bit down hard, certainly hard enough that she half expected to draw blood, and she had been hoping that might show the demon not to touch her. Instead though, she felt pressure on her jaw and some pain as he forced it open, and immediately recoiled as he pressed his lips to hers; it definitely hadn't been the sort of reaction she expected. She didn't kiss him back, reeling back. She was still tied to the chair though with no where to go and no way to stop him.

(nah, I'm fine with kissing and stuff lol Besides, Jinx Me is determined to make me get used to NC-17 so you should be good unless he's like...going to rape her or something, and if that happens, I'll request we skip xD)

((I am SOOOOOOOOO not into rape. No. No rape. It'd only happen if both of them wanted to. He may be a demon, but he's not a bad guy.))

Pulling back, eyes still on hers, Shax backed away. He continued to back away until he was a good five feet from her, his eyes taking in the little bit of his blood smeared on her lips from her bite, "You should know," He said softly, "That pain only turns us on." He shook his head, "Don't forget that we're demons. That pain is almost orgasmic to us if it's not from another demon or Lucifer himself. Of course, you guys do have those nifty swords that can kill us and that's not a good pain, but little bites like yours?" He shook his head, "Unless you want a repeat of that kiss then I suggest you keep your teeth to yourself." Sighing he stood straight, "Now, I am Shax Gaap Eurynome. Prince of Hell and death, love and hatred. The youngest spawn of Lucifer himself. Son of a human, Jullianna MacGrey, and raised in the darkest pits of Hell."

@ Jaguar's Heart
(-sighs in relief- good. So far, none of my roleplays have had rape in them and I would like to keep it that way!)

Krahe glared at him, hating how calm he looked. His previous anger had dissipated completely, and her own idea had backfired on her in a way that she hadn't expected in the least. She was still tied to a chair as well, grasping at straws it seemed, trying to find some sort of idea as to how to keep him away from her. As he mentioned the angels swords, she wished that she had one right then. Considering she was in Hell, she probably wouldn't get very far, but still...it was the thought that counts. "You forgot 'leading a rebellion against a force I cannot win against'," she said when he had finished his introduction. She had no inclination whatsoever to introduce herself.

Shax's eyes narrowed, "Tell me something, Angel, how long have you been a guardian angel? Has it been long enough to noticed the inner turmoil humans seemed to be going through in spades? Long enough to realize more and more humans are succumbing to darker and darker sins no matter how much you guardians try to help them?" He sneered at her, "You're fighting a war you cannot win either, Lovely, and it's all thanks to my father." He stepped closer, pulling out a wicked looking knife from the sheath on his thigh, the blade dark and dangerously curved, "Why don't I show you what my father is doing... and why I have this need to lead 'a rebellion against a force I cannot win against'."

@ Jaguar's Heart

Krahe bristled. "Unlike your rebellion, there are many of us," she said. "Because we're all fighting for the same goal. The reason we may be failing is because of the demons trying to kill us so we can't do any good! You're a good example of that; I couldn't have been there more than ten minutes; I didn't even get to see the girl I was supposed to be guarding," she said. She narrowed her eyes at him as he pulled out the long, curved knife. "What are you planning on doing with that; cut my wings off? They aren't going to be here long if I stay here any way," she said, attempting to keep her voice even.

Shax snarled at her, "Your wings are safe. That brand? While it marks you as my slave, makes it so you only do what I want, it also keeps your body - wings included - in a sort of frozen state. While you wear my brand your wings will not deteriorate. They will stay fresh and pure as new fallen snow," All that was sneered at her as he quickly sliced the rope holding her, "I'm cutting you from this chair. I'm going to take you to see just what my father has done. Then, hopefully, you'll see why I have to do this." Once the ropes were off he stepped back, "you can try to escape, but the mark keeps you at my side. If I want you to go anywhere, I must deem it to happen."

@ Jaguar's Heart

Krahe's eyes were still narrowed at him as he cut the rope off. He didn't trust her, and she didn't trust him. The difference though was that he had the power to do whatever he wanted. As she slowly stood up, she tested his words, trying to move away; it felt as if there were some sort of invisible barrier though that she could not pass, and she sighed softly, folding her arms across her chest. She was glad that she could at least move now though, and so she gave a small nod. "Okay, let's go," she said.

Shax studied her as she stood before him, "I'm going to need to make a slight change to your appearance..." Using his will and the brand, Shax forced Krahe's wings back into her body. He'd never done something like that before, and so didn't know if it caused any pain. Didn't matter though, he wasn't quite ready to let all of Hell know he had an angelic slave.

@ Jaguar's Heart

Krahe gasped at first as she felt her wings being forced into her body, then bit down on her lip. She couldn't stop it, and it did hurt; she just hoped that it wouldn't take long before they could be out again. "If you're trying to disguise the fact that I'm an angel, you do know that wings aren't the only giveaway right?" she asked. She knew in such a place, she must stick out like a sore thumb. She had even once heard that an angel's light could even hurt lesser demons to a degree. Though, she wasn't sure why she had mentioned that in the first place to him.

Shax smiled "Very true, but my mark also covers your light. Not all of it, no, but enough that the idiots here will think you're just a very pure human. The only ones who may question are my brothers, the only one who will know my father," He gave a boyish grin, "I'm just not quite ready for you to meet my family. We aren't that far into our relationship yet." he joked, then more seriously said, "Come on, let's go." he turned and began walking from the warehouse, the angel only two feet behind him.

@ Jaguar's Heart

Krahe sighed softly, rolling her eyes at him, and let her arms drop to her side. She wondered what a 'very pure human' would be doing in Hell, but by the way he referred to many of the other residents as 'idiots', she guessed that they wouldn't second guess it, not like some of the smarter ones who knew better would, such as Lucifer and his spawn. She guessed the worst she really had to worry about though was that a demon would try to kill her, and because of where she was, she wouldn't be able to do much. "Fun, exploring Hell," she said, sarcastically, as they walked outside of the warehouse. It was dark, disgusting really, or at least to her, but what did she expect from Heaven's opposite?

Shax led her down the barren street, "Your sarcasm is refreshing. The only thing angels normally say to me is something along the lines of 'unholy creature, you die tonight!' which is normally followed by their dying screams." He turned and smiled at her before continuing to walk. It didn't take them long before they reached what demons called 'Main Town'. It looked like just another town to the untrained eye, but here - instead of antique and clothing shops - were stores that sold slaves (human and other), beastly creatures as pets, torture devices, and other horrid things. In the middle of the town was a stone clearing where demons writhed in sinful delight as a human male was brought to the wooden stand at the middle of the clearing. The wood was dark with centuries old blood stains and Shax watched as his oldest brother, Haures, shoved the human to his knees. His brother was a beast of a man - more close to Lucifer then any of Satan's sons - and the smile on Haures' face was full of malicious murder. With Krahe at his side, Shax watched as his brother lifted a blood darkened battle axe. There was another high ranking demon telling the watchers a story of horror and drama filled action and - as the story came to an end - Haures brought the axe down and severed the human's head. The demon crowd loved it, chants of "More! More! More!" echoing around them. Without looking at the angle beside him Shax began to speak, "That man's crime was to steal jewelry from a store. He was going to sell the jewels to feed his family. Do you think his crime was worth this punishment?" He then turned to her, "And, before you say anything, that man was still alive. He hadn't died in his realm. My brother's demon followers had brought him down here."

@ Jaguar's Heart

"Yes, well, that isn't exactly an option for me, now is it?" Krahe replied as she walked, sighing softly. As they came to 'Main Town', she looked around; it almost looked like a human town but she knew better, and as she got a good look at what was in some of the stores, she knew she had been right. The scene at the stage caught her attention soon though, and as she blanched as the man was decapitated, turning her eyes away as the demon's shouts filled her ears. It was disgusting. She turned her whole body away from the scene, clenching her fists at what Shax told her, and she knew that if they brought another human up there, she would most likely try to go and help them. "Stealing is wrong, but he had the right intentions," she replied quietly. "He shouldn't have died; the worst that should have happened would be for the other humans to arrest him for a year or so, however long it lasts, and then let him free again."

"You're preaching to the coir, Love." Shax said as he took her hand and lead her from the stage before she could see the next human brought up - this time a young woman. He lead her through the town and to the darkest streets. These streets reminded Shax of the times he'd walked what some humans referred to as the "ghetto". Homeless demons and what once had been humans littered the streets, huddling into themselves. The temperature here was colder - the coldest anywhere in Hell - and it made Shax sick. One-by-one Shax led her through the saddest parts of Hell, showing her just how bad it had become down here.

@ Jaguar's Heart

As he took her hand, Krahe pulled it back again, though she didn't look back at the stage they were leaving behind. If she did, she knew whatever happened couldn't possibly end well. She wrapped her arms around herself as she was led through the streets by Shax, taking in her surroundings as she did so. Finally when they came to a stop again, she looked at him, silent for a moment. "Why do you care how bad it is down here?" she asked after a moment. "Why, exactly, are you leading a rebellion against Lucifer?" She didn't know many angels who would actually say his name unless they had to, thinking it a sort of curse in itself, but she figured it couldn't hurt.

Shax sighed, "No one except for my troops know I'm even part of the rebellion, let alone their leader." He studied his home, then turned to her, "And this is my home. Sure, it's not Heaven, but when I was younger this place was actually a thriving realm. It wasn't what you just saw. It was safe, comforting, and my father and brothers have recently in these past few centuries turned it into this." He sighed again, shaking his head, "Come on, lets get you back to the warehouse where it's safe." He turned and led her back to his building, taking her back through Main Town - thankfully the show was over - and through the dwindling crowd. Not many paid attention to them, but those who did sneered at Shax, spitting the ground and calling him "Nysrogh Pig". Shax ignored them, his will keeping Krahe close as he tried to get by.
