    Krahe thought on what he said, and it actually made sense. If her home was invaded by a darkness, she would do whatever it took to get it back to how it used to be. She couldn't imagine Hell ever being a particularly good place or a pretty sight for that matter, but by what Shax was telling her, it used to be better than what it was now. "Where it's safe?" she raised an eyebrow at him, though she didn't get an answer. As they passed the stage once more, she found her eyes drifting towards it, but the only remnants of the massacre that must have taken place were the bloodstains. As they went through the crowd, Krahe felt the space that she could keep from Shax becoming less, and she slid her gaze across him as other demons showed freely their disgust of him. 'Huh, what a surprise,' she thought rather sarcastically.

    Shax tried his hardest to get Krahe away from these demons. The more demons who called out to him, the more demons noticed him. It was a vicious cycle, and one he prayed would stop. Of course, that wasn't his luck and he soon found his way blocked by Haures. His brother grinned, "Well, well, if it isn't my brother. How are you, Shax? How's life with no rank?" Haures laughed, his henchmen following behind him. Shax didn't respond, glaring up at Haures and trying to keep him from seeing Krahe, but it didn't work. Haures noticed her and grinned maliciously, "Ah, I see you have a slave, brother. She's beautiful? Why would she allow your brand?" Grin widening he shoved Shax away - being larger then Shax by a good foot - and focused his attention on Krahe, "Hello, gorgeous, why don't you spend some time with me?" but it didn't take long for a confused frown to replace his smile. There was something about this slave...

    If Krahe had thought for a moment that Shax was one of the bad demons, really bad ones, then she obviously rethought that when Haures blocked their path, keeping them from moving. From what Shax had said, he was also partially responsible for the deterioration of Hell, and he was also the demon she had seen decapitate the human. Her eyes blazed as he faced her, and she felt disgust rising in her. She had a feeling that she should be wary of him, but it was too late as words came out of her mouth. "Because you're a lowlife demon who has no right to exist, if you can call yourself existing. You manipulate and persuade the humans, then torture and kill them for fun, and I hope one of the archangels finds you and ends you."

    Haures' grin widened as he turned to his brother, "I see why you keep her; she has spirit, but I doubt you can tame her." He turned back to Krahe, "But I know I can tame you, so why don't you just give her to me." Shax snarled, "No. She's not going anywhere with you." He grabbed Krahe's arm and pulled her back behind him while his brother laughed. Haures took a step closer, "She will be mine, low born. Just wait." He then turned and left, his minions following. Shax began to roughly pull Krahe behind him, taking twists and turns and coming up to the secret entrance to the warehouse. He shoved her inside with a growl, "Can't you just keep your mouth shut?" He snarled, "Or do I have to force my mark to do it for you?"

    As Shax grabbed Krahe's arm, she was glaring at the demons in front of her as she tried to pull away. This time though, he had too good a grip and she couldn't. When they got back to the warehouse and after he had shoved her inside, she turned towards him on her heel, narrowing her eyes at him. "Why should I keep my mouth shut?" she responded acidly. "I am not going to stand there and let some demon talk to me like I'm dirt on the bottom of their foot because they think they can." She stopped then, with a sigh. "Look, I'll help you with your rebellion, and not just because it's obvious I have no choice. Isn't that what you wanted, help? There have to be some sort of boundaries, rules, though, okay? And my name is Krahe, so please just stop calling me whatever comes into your mind."

    ((On my phone, posts will be short XD))

    Shax sighed, "I wanted tour help, but i didnt want my brother setting his sights on you. That's dangerous." He shook his head and began to pace, letting his mark allow her to walk around the building, "if you have rules, then so do I. There are certain things slave can and cant do. Talking back to your superiors - demons of higher rank - is a death sentence, Krahe," he said, emphasizing her name.

    (haha, okay)

    Krahe bristled a bit at being called once more a slave, despite that was pretty much what she was now and until the war with Lucifer ended. She sighed softly at what he said. "Fine, if I ever come face-to-face with him again, then I'll keep my mouth shut. Happy?" She crossed her arms over her chest, thinking for a moment. "If I'm going to help you, and not just because I have to, then obviously we're both going to have to try to get along at least a little until the time I leave. I need personal space, which was the reason I bit you in the first place earlier."

    Shax grinned at the memory, "alright, personal space when its just us... but if we're out and about I can't make that promise. There are rules you don't understand yet, and I get that, but you need to follow my lead when you're not in here. There may be times I have to touch you or do something you will not like."

    Krahe glared at him when he grinned, and then sighed softly. He was right in the fact that she didn't understand demon society, but she didn't particularly want to learn the rules of it either. She gave a reluctant nod after a moment though. "Okay, fine," she said, and smiled wryly. "I guess we have a deal."

    Shax returned her smile, holding his hand out, "shake on it?"

    Krahe eyed him dubiously for a moment, then gave a small shake of her head with a sigh. "I have got to be crazy," she said, then put her hand out as well so they could shake.

    Shax laughed, "ditto, babe, ditto." He shook her hand, his larger palm pressed to hers, "now, on to the plan. I suppose you have lots of questions."

    (brb, chores)

    "I already knew that much," Krahe said, pulling her hand away once they shook. "Well, you can explain first before I start asking then," she said.

    Shax sighed, not quite knowing where to start, "Honestly? There really isn't much of a plan." He shook his head, meeting her gaze, "You were right in saying I was fighting a war I can't win. My father is the devil. That's a lot of power. There's a prophecy that says 'He who was once thought of as unworthy will hold the power to lead all others'." with a shrug Shax lifted and dropped his arms "That name you kept hearing the others call me? It means 'Inferior Demon'. Then they up the insult by calling me pig. Ever since I was a child I was always smaller, slower, and weaker then my brothers. I figured if I was unworthy to them, then why couldn't I be the leader the prophecy talk about?" With another shake of his head Shax began to pace, "But I honestly don't believe that. My mother did, she's the one who told my of the prophecy, but she was the only one." He turned to look at her with a cheesy smile, "So, mainly for her, I'm doing this. I figure if I die then at least I'll do some damage and pave the road for the real 'Unworthy Leader'."

    Krahe listened to what he said, not really looking at anything as she listened, but as he began to pace, she could see that he was becoming frustrated. She bit in the inside of her lip, silent for a long moment before she gathered the words to speak. "Okay, I see," she said, giving a small nod. She then walked up to him and smacked him upside the head. "First off, get any negative thought out of your head right now. If you don't believe you can win this, how can you expect those you're leading to? The prophecy really doesn't matter as long as you have the determination. Secondly, you need to come up with a plan, a strategy. Without that, you might as well just call it quits now. Sure, there will be roadblocks, but those are easier to get around than a full sized barrier."

    Rubbing the back of his head, Shax frowned at her, "Did you just... hit me?" He asked, surprised that she'd smacked him. Then he sighed, "My troops don't know I have doubts. They may not believe I'm the prophesied one, but they'll follow me wherever." He shook his head, dropping his hand, "But that may be because they don't know it's me. Right now it's too dangerous for them all to know I lead, so my second in command is directing my orders. If my father were to learn that I'm the rebellion leader then he'd strike down not just myself, but any who worked with me. He hasn't set his sights on the rebellion because he doesn't believe they can actually beat me, but if he finds out his own son is leading it? Then it's just a matter of the utmost betrayal, not really a fear of power, that will cause him to kill us all. As for a plan... all I know is that I'm the only one with even the slightest chance of taking my father. So while my troops are fighting his demons, I need to get close enough to Lucifer before the whole thing starts so that I can just focus my energy on him."

    Krahe shrugged. "You needed it; somehow I think not enough people actually do that," she said, seeing both the frown and surprise on his face. She stepped back away from him, listening once more to what he was telling her, giving small nods at places. "Okay, so they don't know who you are really." She sighed, thinking. "It's probably just as well, then. So, how do you plan on getting close to Lucifer then? Yes, I know you just said you don't really have a plan, but at least an idea of how?"

    Shax laughed, the sound humorless, "Doll, getting close to him isn't the hard part. It's getting close to him when no one else is around. I have a very small chance of even wounding him when he's alone. If I have to fight others as well as him then I'm dead in no-point-three seconds." Shax frowned, "Shit. Forgot about dinner tonight." He began pacing again, "Where can I put you that's safe while we have 'family dinner'?" then he suddenly stopped and grinned, "Oh, I've got it." he turned to her, his grin widening, "It's perfect. I'll bring you with me. Of course, dad will know right away I have an angel for a slave, but I'll tell him you're a low-class guardian - which isn't a lie - and that I kidnapped you for my bride. It'll be perfect! Dad will love the idea of us taking an angel from heaven and converting her to our realm. It will explain away any mishaps you make in society and I'll be able to keep you close and safe."
