Angels & Demons
story
I wasn't sure about this gig. Playing id to a rather shallow, less smart than she thinks, and kinda irritating, girl. I was pure born, this wasn't pure born work. Providing a balanced perspective on her, frankly, boring dilemmas. Of which there were rather too many for my liking. Little drama queen!
And that wasn't all. The deal was you took her form. I'm a fucking demon. I'm meant to be tall. I'm meant to be imposing. I'm meant to have a great rack, for fucks' sake. Cozbi had a Hell-class rack. Me? 5'1", with two pancakes on my chest, made with unleavened flour. When I ran into other demons, away from work, I was a figure of fun. "Look what they did to Emma. Serves her right, after all the trouble she caused."
Trouble? That had been Cozbi, the bitch! Not that any of it had stuck to her. Fucking two-faced, half-human, faux fiend! No, it was all my fault of course. And so here I was, relegated to providing advice to a ditzy blonde, with impulse control issues, and slightly disturbing tastes in porn. It's worrying when a demon finds your kinks squicky, right?
But... there was one thing to be said for my new job. See I had a counterpart, super ego to my id. Where I was all about freedom and
carpe diem
, she was about bureaucracy and
vincit qui se vincit
. Of course they got angels to do that shit. Like any self-respecting demon would be so boring. I sat on our joint charge's left shoulder, encouraging her to experience life. Sitting on her right, and doing her best to stop any fun, was the other girl. Lily was her name. And I wanted her.
It was odd, I know. Lily also looked like our human. Blonde. Petite. Boyish. Freckled. Things that were anathema to a spawn of Satan (or of Lucy, to use her proper name). But, somehow, on her, they worked. Demons have a built-in desire to corrupt heavenly creatures. But it was more than that. She was... what was the phrase? Oh yeah, totally fuckable.
