Hell On Heels(94)

He was silent for a moment as he considered. "It feels like that was the worst of it."
"You need to go," I told him. "I no longer fear my father's wrath, but I think there was a reason he set the boundaries." I paused and shook my head in confusion. "Is it weird that I feel normal after what we just did?"
"I was thinking the same." He grinned and shrugged. "I'll come back on Friday."
"Oh my Hell, do you wanna be my date at the Angels and Demons dance on Friday?"
"Are you serious?" He chuckled as he slowly pulled on his clothes. "We just tilted the axis of Heaven and Hell with our bonding and you're asking me to a dance?"
"Yep." I grinned and grabbed my own.
"I've never been to a dance before. I accept. What does one wear to an Angel and Demon dance?"
"Jeans," I said as I ran my finger along the jewel encrusted handle of the dagger that had just rocked my world. "I do suspect some will be some sporting wings, bustiers, fake blood and dead babies tied to their feet."
"Lovely." Hayden winced and shook his head. "Can I feel you up during a slow dance?"
"Only if you spank my bumbum first," I teased.
His bark of laughter sent shivers of delight through me. "I'm leaving. If I don't, I will spank your bumbum and we won't leave this room until next Friday. This would of course piss off Satan, which I normally enjoy. . .however he is your father."
"He is," I agreed and laid a big smackeroo on my soul mate's lips. "I love you, my Angel of Death."
"And I you, Balance. I have a present for you," he said as he conjured a book out of the air.
"What's that?"
"The original copy of The Beginning of Time." He grinned at my squeal of joy and placed it in my hands. "It's in a dead language, but it's still strangely beautiful."
I flipped gently through the ancient pages and a feeling of wonder and excitement consumed me. "Can you read it?" I asked.
"No, but it comforts me."
I nodded in understanding and placed it gently next to the dagger. "I'll miss you."
"Come here, beautiful girl."
His kiss held promise, love and our future. I clung to him and breathed him in. After a light tap on the bumbum and a crooked smile that melted my panties, he disappeared in a beautiful swirling mist of black glitter. A little piece of my heart left with him.

Chapter 34
 
The Things had been busy. . .
"This looks fucking stupid," Myrtle huffed indignantly as we stood in Hell.
"Yep," I agreed as I laughed at the seven foot Satan that the Things had created from papier-mâché, red sequins and black feathers. My father would have a shit fit if he saw it.
"Heaven's no better," Lucy sniffed as she crossed to the other side of the gymnasium and kicked a huge puffy cloud made of toilet paper and cotton balls. Silver and white streamers floated down from the ceiling in Heaven and red and black from Hell. The walls of the Underworld half of the gym had been smeared with fake blood and a sound track of screaming and wailing played ominously in the background. Of course Heaven had an absurd amount of wind chimes hanging from large plastic wings and an industrial fan to make sure they never stopped tinkling.
Lucy was right. Heaven was heinous, but Hell was just as bad. I idly wondered what Hayden would think and giggled. The gash on my hand from our bonding had healed but I still felt the sting keenly. Thankfully the week had flown by. I was on high alert for Rogue Demons and evil in general, but nothing happened. Eve hadn't shown back up, but I didn't really expect her to. Carl and I continued to train and Lucy joined us. Her magic was fierce and her strength was astounding. Carl was besotted after she knocked him out cold for the sixth time. He and Janet were secretly hatching plans to adopt her and take her back to Hell.
"We need Stella," I muttered as I almost tripped over an ugly little red doll with enormous plastic fangs.
"Is that supposed to be a Demon?" Myrtle yelled as she picked up the abomination by an eye tooth. "I have never been so insulted in my life." She dropped the doll and crunched it under her boot.
"Who's Stella?" Lucy asked as she tossed Myrtle another Demon doll.
"My BFF. You'll love her. She creates lightning storms and can change decor in no time flat."
"Is she coming to the dance?" Myrtle asked as she decapitated several offending dolls with the flick of her pinky finger.#p#分页标题#e#
"Yep."
"Good, this is a clusterfuck waiting to happen," she muttered disgustedly as she stomped out of the gym, but not before she zapped several more Demons and a few Heavenly chimes.
