We'll Let The Fires Just Bathe Us

I panted as I ran through the bracken. I knew better than to travel on the streets, I’d encounter a demon in 2 seconds flat. I stopped for a few seconds to catch my breath, whimpering at the thought that I have literally no where to go except inevitably being caught and being forced into slavery again but I had to do it. It was for the greater good. I’d told myself that if Hell shook one more time that I’d leave, and it did. And so I left, even if it killed me.

I shrugged Jack’s hiking pack off and checked inside. I had packed clothes, a coat, a sweater, a map (because I wasn’t sure how consistent cell service or battery life was going to be in terms of google maps), a flashlight with extra batteries, my phone charger, and enough food to last me a week. After that, I’m fucked.

My plan was anything but foolproof. I was a human with I absolutely no means to protect myself and if a demon saw me I was screwed. This was my life from now on, and I only had enough supplies to last me a week.

I wished I still had my grace and that I still had my wings because then at least it would be easier to hide or run away. Not only that, but maybe I wouldn’t feel so empty. Ever since I had my grace taken from me, I felt like a piece of me was missing. Even though I hadn’t always been a fully transitioned angel, I’d always had my grace. Now that I didn’t, it was like losing a sense. Like suddenly I couldn’t see. I just felt lost.

I sighed and looked up, longing to be able to sore over the tree tops again. Sore to safety.
I tore my eyes away from the sky and put my things back in my pack when I had an idea.

Pete

I had to go to Pete’s. He was my last chance. He might know what to do about Lucifer and at the very least, he might take me in. He would be a good, kind master. I grinned because at least now I knew where to go.

I decided to do my traveling at night when there weren’t as many demons and I walked around trying to find a tree or a clump of bushes where I could hide and get some rest for the long journey ahead.
