Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy.
"Know Your Enemy" -Green DayIn this war between angels and demons it's hard to determine who the real enemies are. Everyone knows that demons are the villains in this story, but I'd honesty thought Ruby was different. She may have remembered what it was like to be human, but she used me to finish what Azazel started. I'd trusted her; let her turn me into... a monster. Just so I was strong enough to destroy Lilith and release the final seal.
And I believed what I had been doing was for the best. I'd never been so wrong about anything.
I drank Ruby's blood. No, I drank the blood of the body she'd been possessing; a poor soul trapped in a brain dead body. I guess it was for the better that Ruby chose that girl; technically, she had listened and picked someone non-living. The girl had just been pulled from life support, but that doesn't excuse her for turning me into the monster I've become.
And she wasn't the only one whose blood I'd taken to heighten my powers. A waitress, a nurse, anyone, living or dead, who had a demonic entity controlling them like puppets; I needed more of it to become stronger. And I regretted it every time.
But the angels are just as cruel as the demons in this war. They deliberately allowed Lilith to brake the seals so Lucifer could be set free and walk the Earth a free man. Millions are going to die, and those still alive will suffer in his path. But it won't be for long; as soon as the angels have had their fun and see that humans have learned from their mistakes, Lucifer will be sent back to his cage and the demons will fall with him.
A little violence before the peace of mankind, they say, but this war is unjust.
