Angel Monarch

'Its a human, it has to be. But what if it's not? What if it's a monster mimicking a human's voice.'

Sera was so absorbed in her thoughts that she forgot to answer the mysterious voice.

"Hello? Are you there?" Asked the mysterious person.

'Fuck, what should I do?' Thought Sera, at which she quickly came up with a kind of stupid question. "Yes. Are you human?"

"Last time I checked I was, so probably yes? Did you cause that light show?"

"Maybe. Are you friendly?" Sera was quiet inexperienced with the wild, outside of Newber's walls. She was a bit scared and suspicious, but not as much as she should've been.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Said the man with a light chuckle.

"You could be a monster pretending to be human." Said Sera with concern.

"That's a sound logic, there is only one problem. Why would a monster ask for permission?" Said the voice laughing.

What he said made perfect sense. Sadly her lack of knowledge about human atrocities made her quite naive.

"Are you alone?" She asked, with a bit more calmness, then she should've felt.

"No. There're five of us, 1 Evolved and 4 regulars."

'I'm pretty sure I heard 6 pair of footsteps. Must have been an echo or something, why would he lie?'

Her suspicion rose only a small fraction and she moved into a position that would make it easier to attack.

'Should I let him? Well I'm not really in the position to stop him and he might be able to help.'

"Fine." She eventually said.

Within the door a human head appeared, it was a man in his mid 30s he had a very handsome face like every Evolved. Behind him came 4 person all in military armor and with railguns. They were ready to take on even monsters if necessary.

The man looked at Sera and his eyes slightly widened from what, only he knew.

"What's your name little girl?"

"Seraphine and I killed more then enough beasts to not be a girl anymore."

"Yeah, I can see that. My name is Blake. Nice to meet you."

Looking at Blake something seemed amiss with how he looked at her, it was similar to the monsters she fought. But then it was gone.

'It's probably the bloodloss. I'm imagining things.'

After a couple of seconds the man spoke again.

"So what were you doing up here? I doubt you have so much of a death wish to make a beacon out of this rooftop..."

But while he was speaking one of the soldiers called out.

"Boss, look at this!"

He was standing next to the dead monster. Blake looked at it then visibly paled for a second before regaining composure.

"As you can see I didn't do the light show for no reason."

"Yes I can see that. How strong was this creature anyway."

He said with a bit too much boredom, it made it feel a little forced, but Sera ignored it and instead answered his question.

"It was a Rotten of the 1st Tier."

Hearing that, the man mumbled something that sounded awfully similar to a curse. And suddenly a weird smile appeared on his face for some reason.

"But I can see you didn't escape unscathed yourself. Mind if I take a look at your wounds? I might be able to help with my ability."

"You have a healing ability?"

"Something like that. Do you want my help or not." He said with a weird glimmer in his eye.

"Please, help me if you can." Sera answered with a hint of desperation.

Blake approached Sera, crouched down next to her and looked in her eyes. His eyes were mesmerizing, they felt like she would lose herself in them. But she realized quickly what he had tried to do.

'He tried to use an ability on me. If I would have turned of Clear Mind I would have gotten under his spell probably.'

Blake spotted his mistake fast and a second later a knife was already at her throat.

"This little bitch can resist my charm it seems! I haven't met someone like that since Bea!" Said Blake with madness in his voice.

"Boss, can we take turns on her? It was so long since we had a new girl at base." Asked a soldier with a smile in his voice.

"Maybe, but she needs to be broken in first."

Everyone laughed at that, except Sera of course. She was getting angry and scared, a tear ran down her face.

"Why? Why are you doing this?" In answer the small group only laughed in her face.

"Holy fuck, you are actually a stupid bitch! Do we look retarded to you? Anyway, let's get to work on you. Craig, bring the chains."

"Sure thing Boss."

Sera was confused, scared and most of all felt betrayed.

"What are you going to do to me?"

She asked while more tears began making their way down her face. Her vision started to become hazy but not cause of the tears.

"We will of course beat and rape you until you stop resisting, then bring you home to the rest of the whores."

That done it! She could handle threats on her life, but rape?

At that moment Sera's mind fully broke, she didn't understand why they wanted to hurt and rape her, but she didn't care anymore. All of them will die.

Suddenly a wicked grin appeared on Sera's face and Blake had a very bad feeling.

Just as he was thinking what to do, a pair of beautiful angelic wings materialized behind the girl. But the wings did not bring awe, only despair.

If that wouldn't be enough she exploded with light as well. Everyone had some form of nightvision on the roof. Blake had a passive for it and the soldiers had it built in their helmet.

All of them went blind instantly. Combine that with the feeling of dread, Sera made quick work of them.

The first one dead was Blake she grabbed his head with both hands and popped it like a tomato, then she sliced up the soldier with the chains, the next three died in similar spectacular fashion. When she was done, the roof was the color of red, not a clean spot on it.

Then suddenly a piercing pain went through her chest. Sera looked down and there was the tip of a sword poking through her. It missed her heart but not the lungs and liver.

But to the dismay of her attacker she didn't even seem to notice it. Sera was like a demon with angelic wings as she took her enemy apart with her bare hands.

After everything was done and her Essence ran out she was lying on the rooftop looking at the stars.

They were so beautiful, and felt like she could reach them. Sera began to reach for them but couldn't even lift her hand.

There was so much pain. She began coughing blood.

'So this is it... No happy ending for me it seems...'

This was her last thought before passing out, at the last moments she could've swear she heard footsteps coming in her direction.
