Develin's POV

Ashley and I where busy in the house. He was painting the ceiling and I was in the kitchen painting the cabinets. Suddenly I heard a loud bang. I dropped the brush and ran to the guestroom. There I saw him. Ashley layed on the ground, the ladder ontop of him. There came blood out off his head.'ASHLEY!' I screamed. I ran up to him and threw the ladder away. Tears where streaming down my face. I fell on my knees. I quickly dialed 911.

They came as quickly as they could. They drove Ashley to the Hospital with me right next to him. 'Ma'm I'm affraid that you have to wait here.' One of the docters said. 'Oh HELL NO! I want to be by his side!' I yelled. I wanted to follow them but a male nurse held me back. I sighed and gave up. He sat me down on a seat and gave me a cup of tea.
'Don't worry. He is going to be fine.' He said. I nodded and sniffed. The nurse smiled at me and walked away. I sighed and texted everyone that Ashley was in the Hospital.
Soon after that the guys and girls came bursting through the doors. They saw me with bloodshot eyes and tears spilling out off my eyes. They all came up to me and hugged me tightly. I cried even harder. Never I have cried for anyone. I never had cared for anyone like this. I love him.

Soon there was a docter. He looked quite sad. 'Purdy?' he asked. We all stood up. 'Sorry to say this but he is in a coma.' I felt my heart stood still. A coma?! Was this man fucking with my mind or something. Ashley couldn't be in a coma. He just couldn't. 'Can we see him?' Andy asked. The docter nodded and pointed to the room where Ashley was in.

We quickly walked to it. When I opend the door my heart broke. He looked so pale. I walked to him and grabbed his hand. I rested my hand on his belly. I hoped that he would stroke my hair like he always does when I layed down on his chest or lap. But there was no movement except for his breathing.

I kissed his head and walked out. I couldn't stand seeing him laying there like that. I let my tears fall and I walked to a restroom. I closed the door and fell to my knees. Why him? Why not me? I have done way worse things than he would ever dream of. I just cried.

Suddenly there was a bright light and an angel came into vieuw. She looked dissapointed. 'God wants to speak with you.' She said. She grabbed my hand and flew me up to Heaven.

There I saw God sitting in his throne. Next to him was the Devil standing with a wicked smile. God had a dissapointed look on his face. 'Develin. I really am sorry that I have to do this but, I sent you to Hell. You failed your task. I truly am sorry. But rules are rules. Lucifer she is all yours.' God said. I looked in shock. The Devil smiled and grabbed my arm dragging me to Hell.

When we arrived at his castle. He letted go of me and two of his little Devils held me still. The Devil sat down on his throne and looked at me. He looked... kind? 'Develin I have an offer for you. You can be my right hand. What do you say about that?' he asked smiling. I was stunned. I always wanted that. 'I would love to but on one condition.' I said.

The Devil looked surprised. 'And that might be?' He asked smiling kindly at me. 'I want you to make Ashley better and I want to say goodbye.' I said. The Devil closed his eyes for a few minutes. When he opend them he smiled again. 'As you wish. He will wake up in two weeks. But I am comming with you. In the meantime you can get used to your new job.' he said. I smiled. 'Thank you.' I said.

'From now on you will fullfill the task of death. You will decide when it is someones time, or when they can't survive you decide wheter he is unwelthy for Heaven or not. You will lead them to the middlepath between Heaven and Hell and then let them show where they belong. Am I clear?' he asked.

I nodded. 'Crystal sir.' I said. The Devil smiled. 'Good. You can go now. You have your own house with slaves a few streets later. I hope you like it.' 'Thank you.' I said and bowed. I started to walk to the doors when he stopped me again. 'Wait I wan't to give you a little gift.' he said. He raises his hand and suddenly I feel a tintling in my back.

Something was growing on my back. I closed my eyes because the tintling turned into pain. There where flames and then the pain was gone. I opend my eyes and saw the most beautifull black wings I ever had seen. There where fluffy but still dangerous. They had claws and underneath them. I loved them immediatly.

'Thank you so much.' I said. 'Your welcome my dear. Now go. Tomorrow there will be some tasks for you.' he said. I nodded and bowed again. I stretched my wings and flew to my house. I had missed the feeling of flying.

Two weeks later
Ashley's POV

I woke up with an headache. I opend my eyes and expected Develin there but she wasn't. No one was there. I felt slightly dissapointed. I looked at the clock and saw it was 4 A.M. Well that makes sence why no one was there. I sighed and closed my eyes again.

Suddenly I saw big flames and there was my beautifull Develin followed by the Devil?! There was something up. Develin came up to me. I looked at her in awe. She was beautifull. I had dreamt about her the whole time. But she looked even more beautifull in real.

'Ash I'm sorry but I failed my task. I need to go to Hell.' I said. I looked confused. 'But I will still see you right?' I said feeling worried feeling come into my belly. She looked down and shook her head. 'No I will not. I guess you just have to forget about me.' She said while stroking my cheek.

'No Dev. I can't live without you! You are asking me something immposible.' I said. That woman was insane. Trying to make me forget her? Never! 'I'm sorry Ash but I have to. I failed my task to protect you. This is my punishment.' She said looking me into the eyes while still stroking my cheek. Like she tried to comfort me.

'But I was so stupid to fell off of that ladder. Not yours! Please don't do this to me. I love you!' I said tears streaming down my face. 'I'm sorry but I have to. Please believe me when I say that I love you so much. You have my heart. I can promise you that.' She said and then she kissed me.

I just realised this is going to be the last time that I will taste her sweet lips. I closed my eyes and grabbed her face pulling her closer. She held my face cupped into her hands. Suddenly the Devil cleared his throat.

'Sorry that i have to interupt this little goodbye but we have to go. Have a nice life boy. Come on Develin.' he said. The Devil grabbed her arm and pulled her away from me.

'NO DEVELIN! DON'T GO! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!' I screamed but it was no use. She was gone. She had dissapeard in the flames.
