On The Other Side

[kailey]

Dayton apologized quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it. "What do you want."





Trevor grinned mischievously from the doorway. "Hello Dayton. I'm in need of your assistance."


Evangel smiled. "I definitely do." She admitted as she pulled away to watch him cook.

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah peered up from the floor, sighing as she watched Trevor. She rubbed her hear tiredly. "Just wanted to cuddle... Why can't I cuddle?"


Jack sighed. "Good. Good. Because one day? It'll be amazing."

 

[kailey]

Trevor waved his hand in apology to Leah. "Sorry dearest."


Dayton growled and rolled his eyes dramatically. "What do you want, Trevor?"





Evangel giggled and kissed his cheeked playfully. "Oh I don't doubt it, babe." She said with a smirk.

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah stood up and rubbed her head. "What do you want?" She asked curiously. "It's late..."


Jack blushed brightly. "Uh, no touch.., stop. For now. Please."

 

[kailey]

Trevor folded his hands neatly behind his back after closing the door behind himself. "I'm sure Mathew has contacted you on your assignment, but I have a bargain for you." He took his sweet time to stare at the two demons a moment. "If you keep the child alive, there will be a great reward for you."


"why the hell would I keep it alive?"





Evangel stepped back, her eyes widening slightly. "Sorry I didn't mean anything by that..." She replied quietly as her eyes fluttered to the ground.

 

[tamaracorine]

"What's the reward?" Leah asked, leaning against the wall. "Why would I want the spawn of two self righteous, holier than thou angels alive?" she scowled. "What's your investment?"


Jack shook his head. "No, no, no. I'm just... I need... you got me flustered. Not your fault."

 

[kailey]

Trevor's gaze flicked to Leah a moment. "I can offer you part of Hell itself. See, the reason Dayton's father wants their little child out of the way, is she is prophesied to destroy him. But if you keep her alive, yes it's going to be a she, than I can use her for Hell's gain. After all, she'll be a quarter demon and that's plenty to work with."


Evangel frowned thoughtfully and considered Jack. "It's getting harder not to... You know..." She sighed and smiled up at him.

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah frowned, "And the last time we trusted you, you threw me in a cage." she stated. "What part of Hell are you offering, Trevor? Another cage for me to live in? Because if that's the case, get lost. Last time we made a deal with you, it went sour as soon as you had what you wanted. I'm going to slit that kid's throat as soon as it's born." she growled.


"I'm not going to marry you yet." Jack told her simply. "It's too fast. Self control is a good thing, Eva."

 

[kailey]

Dayton frowned at Trevor's proposal. "Leah, he was throwing us in there to keep us out of danger. Mathew was using it all as a trap to kill the both of us as well as trap Evangel."





Trevor nodded. "Precisely. And whichever part your father owns currently, which is indeed a large sum. You would be in charge of training all new demons as well as making angels fall,"


Evangel leaned against the counter quietly. She knew this. "I know." The demonic half of her was screaming internally, but like always she fought it.

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah gulped and fell silent, nodding and looking down at the ground. "Sorry." She whispered. She looked at Dayton, her subservient nature appearing again. She would let him choose.


"Sorry." Jack mumbled. "I don't want to hurt you. But I won't marry you just for sex."

 

[kailey]

Dayton reached over and squeezed Leah's hand. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I only just realized this myself. So what do I need to do then?"





Evangel smiled warmly over at Jack to show that she wasn't hurt. "I wouldn't want to marry you just for sex either, Jack."

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah squeezed his hand in return, taking a step to be beside him rather than behind. She wrapped her arms around him tightly.


"Cool." Jack nodded. "Let's not rush."

 

[kailey]

Trevor waited for the two to embrace before continuing. "It's simple. Kidnap the girl and bring her to me. She'll survive the trip to Hell because of her heritage."


Dayton nodded. "We'll do it."





Eva strolled over to a bookcase in the living area and selected a rather large novel. She sat herself on the couch, cross legged, and proceeded to read while waiting for her meal.

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah looked at Dayton, shock evident in her expression. But she wouldn't argue with Dayton. Her mark was too strong for that. "And in the meantime? What do we do?"


Jack carried food over to her when it was done, sitting on the couch beside her. "I'm sorry. I'm bad at this."

 

[kailey]

Trevor shrugged. "Fool around, be demons, have your own children, I don't know. But as soon as Evangel's child is born, I want her." And with that, he was gone.


Evangel accepted the meal and beamed up at Jack. "Hey, I am too. We'll figure it out together okay? Thank you for cooking, yet again."

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah raised an eyebrow at the mention of having her own children, then wrapped her arms tighter around Dayton. "You don't want kids... Do you?"


Jack sat quietly and ate, deep in thought.

 

[kailey]

Dayton merely shrugged. It hasn't ever occurred to him, but their offspring would be quite powerful.


Evangel poked Jack's arm. "Are you alright, sweetie?" She asked him as a look of concern spread across her face.

 

[tamaracorine]

"Dayton?" Leah asked quietly. "Do you... Want kids?" She looked up at him, curiousity in her eyes. "I mean, I thought that... Being a demon... I couldn't..."


"Yeah." Jack nodded. "I guess I'd never expected to think about marrying anyone."

 

[kailey]

Dayton glanced down at Leah. "Demons can reproduce. The period of child bearing is much lesser than a human's. It only lasts three months before the child is born." He smoothed back her hair. "I've never considered whether or not I want them, so I'll leave that up to you."





"What do you mean?" Evangel frowned as she set her plate and fork down on the coffee table in front of her.

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah shivered a little as he played with her hair. "Don't leave it up to me." She whispered. "You know how I am with decisions and... I..." She shrugged. "You don't want a slave. I need to resist the urge to become your slave."


"I want to. I really do. But the reality is scary." He laughed, "what if I'm a bad husband? Or bad in bed? What if you hate me?"

 

[kailey]

Dayton sighed loudly and turned Leah to face him. "Listen, I will never think of you as my slave. You are my equal. I am leaving this up to you because you will have to bear the best. Not me," he smiled warmly and kissed her cheek.


Evangel laughed gently and leaned her head on his shoulder. "You are going to be fantastic in every way. I could never hate you." She rubbed his back reassuringly, "please don't worry, alright?"

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah looked up at him with a small smile, "I'm your equal." She repeated. "I'll think about it." She decided, "but I do want your input. Please."


Jack looked at her and blushed. "You sure?"

 

[kailey]

Dayton nodded and squeezed her hand gently. Now, he needed a buzz. "I'm going to drink. I won't get blackout drunk, I promise." He turned from her and grabbed a bottle of vodka. He proceeded to grab a small glass and fill it with the clear stuff and sip it sparingly.


Evangel nodded in response. "Of course I'm sure!" She exclaimed. A smirk settled on her face as she spoke, "now, we both know I'll be a handful. But you'll live." She teased.

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah flopped onto the couch and sighed. "Pour me one." She requested. "I want to drink with you. And I sort of like the idea of making Angels fall, you know."


Jack pulled her in for a hug. "Okay." He laughed. "You're sweet. How are you feeling?"

 

[kailey]

Dayton did as she asked, and moved to hand her a glass. He made his way back to the kitchen counter and leaned against it, looking over his glass at her. "Have you heard of the angel by the name of Jeoffrey Smith?" He asked her, an eyebrow raised. She should, he was pretty famous.


Evangel made a face at him calling her sweet, teasing him, but then smiled. "I'm good. My back hurts a bit from the wings, but I'm adjusting. Are you okay?"
