Balthazar peeled himself from the gum littered, slimy, pavement. He still couldn't believe he was back after what happened. The sound of footsteps roused Balthazar out of his thoughts, and told him there were people just down the alley way. "Evening gents ….and lady what can I do for you?" Balthazar purred easily trying to stay civil, and not to panic with a fake smirk that drove many to want to pummel the half-breed including a certain exorcist. Everybody knew demons were spiteful and wrathful creatures, and will often look for low powered or rookie demons to beat on just for the hell of it that or newly re-born ones as well. "Balllthazzzar…. Youuuu look, weaaak" hissed the lead demon half-breed while the others snickered and hissed, like little school children who had found another weaker child to pick on. "Still strong enough to take you on" Balthazar snapped back quickly losing his patients, and watching the other half-breeds just in case they decided they didn't want to wait for the order to strike. "You can't take us all on you cocky bastard" sneered the only female who's hair was dyed bleach blond and looked vaguely familiar, she had moved forward but the leader hissed at her causing her to step back, but a infuriating smirk was still plastered to her face. "What the hell did I do to you poor bastards?" Balthazar laughed his fingers slowly morphing into claws just in case that set them off, and like hell it did. Demons are able to look into the minds of human finding the thing they fear most and then bring it to life, they can do it to other demons as well. Before Balthazar knew what happened he was pinned down by four of the five demons, the leader was behind him but not touching him just yet. Balthazar smelt the blood, flesh, and booze on their breath and he shivered knowing nothing good can come out of pissed off and drunken demons. "What did I do too you bastards?" Balthazar growled it slightly muffled by the wall he was shoved and held against. "You took advantage of my girlfriend and then just left her!" roared the leader making Balthazar flinch and the other half-breeds to snicker. Bal then remembered some stupid, heartbroken like some human teenage girl half-breed that was throwing herself at him that he decided to have a one night stand with. Always the crazy ones huh? "Oh please last time I knew she threw herself at me it's not my fault that you like the crazy ones and whores on top of it you bastard!" Balthazar yelled back fangs flashing in the weak light that was casted by a street lamp down the alley way. "Don't try to slither out of this one Balthazar it won't work….. see me and my boys have found the perfect punishment for you" the leader hissed in Balthazar's ear making him growl and then Bal froze when he heard the sound of a fly being unzipped. "You're going to be our little whore for the night"


John sighed running a pale, long fingered, hand through his black mop of hair. The mirror was the enemy now that and any other reflective surface, it showed the dark bags under his blood shot eyes, and his pale skin that reminded John of the skin on a corpse. Whisky was the new friend of Johns instead of cigarettes but that could damage the body pretty well too, but then having ill regular hours and insomnia wasn't helping either. Demon actually ran away from the exorcist out of fear of literary having the hell beat out of them. A sudden whoosh of air knocked John out of his thoughts, (and nearly out of his chair). He turned and saw Chas, and instantly wished to be anywhere else but here. "Hey boss need to talk" Chas told him looking no different then he did before death, chipper and up for anything John asked him to do, except the glint in his eyes that told of imaginable power, and knowledge. "Great another holy crusade that won't help with the going to hell thing" John grumbled going to pour himself some more whisky and think that maybe he just passed out and was dreaming right now. "Oh you're not dreaming you're not that lucky John" Chas smiled, happy to know what it was like to have the ability to look in other minds. "Stay the fuck out of my head kid and get to the point" John growled, not vary loudly, but with a force that is didn't need to be. Chas sighed but the smile stayed, "You need to forgive someone, it will be tuff because of your history but you must" Chas told him suddenly going serious. "So I must forgive thy enemy to make my way up?" John asked, only to turn and see Chas was gone. "Precisely" John spun to see Chas at the window, with the overly sunny smile once again plastered to his face. "Did you come just to tell me that, or is there something else?" John growled annoyed by the kid, like he was in life. "Nope" Chas chirped after seemingly thinking about it a while John saw his wings signaling that he was about to go and decided to do something that he didn't get to do before at the cemetery. "Hey kid" John mumbled surprised the kid heard him, showing it by turning to him "Good luck and don't let them give you shit about knowing me" that earned a smile and a chuckle from Chas. John turned away but Chas didn't leave "Hey … you didn't do me wrong no matter what it seemed like" and before John could say anything Chas was gone. John sighed and poured more whisky, the telephone rang but John let it be, seeing the caller I.D. "John I know your there please just pick up" Angela pleaded though the answering machine for the hundredth time. John wanted to pick up and tell her to stop caller him, but instead he let her beat herself up over it. He knew it wouldn't last, he knew that it would never work; because where he knew how to deal with it she hadn't a clue, and didn't even try to understand them. He didn't embrace his powers, oh hell no, but she started hyperventilating every time she saw a half-breed, and it was embarrassing and annoying. That what most of their fights were about, why she just didn't deal with her powers, and she would call him a hypocrite, he would just shake his head and she would leave with a bang, of the door being slammed. He remembered the fight that lead to the breakup, she wanted him checked by a doctor for his worsening insomnia, and he declined she snapped at him that being afraid of doctors was a irrelevant fear, but he finally blew up and told her of the torture he was succumbed too. What the doctors did, how they made him watch other children be tortured as well, while whispering what they were going to do to him at night. Of course she starts to ask about why he didn't say anything, why he didn't get help, his reply "They were supposed to be the help ". After that she left in a huff, tears streaming down her cheeks, she came back later and after a long drawn out silence that was awkward as hell he said "I guess you didn't know I was that damaged should have warned ya" at that she bolted, and he raced after her but too bad for him her partner Xavier was waiting, and punched him in the face, before he could tell him that he came to apologize, and see if she was okay. She yelled and screamed at Xavier too get off him, that she over reacted and that it wasn't his fault, but the only thing that got the other man off John was him punching Xavier hard in the jaw. A few guys held Xavier back while John peeled himself from the pavement with some help from two other guys. After thanking the two quietly he turned and slunk back to his apartment casting a look towards the door that once lead to Beeman's apartment and wishing that his friend was still alive to talk too.
