|| Swan Song || Set it Off ||
There was no real use for words anymore, not really. Whatever happened, she wasn't going to tell anyone anything. She was in a room, nicer than those in her own castle, but not quite as fancy as the holding cells Celty described of in Eden. This had to be somewhere else. There was a one way glass wall, people could look in but she wasn't given the privilege of seeing outside her new room. Her spear was taken to who-knows-where, and to her surprise, she was in her half monster form, all six of her extra limbs were out and chained up, no doubt to prevent an escape. The chains were infused with rubber so her electricity was useless, and while she wasn't suspended like Celty was, she could only really walk around half of the room.
Over the next two days, there wasn't much that happened. Mizuki went in and burned her several times, half the time she was asking questions on Michael's whereabouts, and the other half was spent simply torturing her out of payback for what was done to Celty. The Demon Queen didn't bother speaking or crying out, a part of her knew that she deserved this, so there was no point in protesting her fate. Still, it was shameful. She was Scorpio now, one of the twelve chosen to protect the One God, but she was trussed up like a toy. However, she wasn't going to let humiliation beat her. No, she was the Demon Queen, she was strong. Kitra faced worst in the past, something like this was nothing. Cambion and Lilim came to visit, giving her pills to keel her darkness levels up - no doubt her two siblings were also on the pills as well, to keep them from weakening the way Celty did. Ktira wouldn't speak to them either, they were traitors, but they were safe. What else was there to talk about?
"Celty woke up today." Lilim said, fidgeting, nursing a burn. She was expressly banned from healing her big sister, but still, she wanted to help alleviate the pain if she could, so cold damp towels were placed on all of the burns. She knew big sis deserved this, but it was still hard to see her like this. Cam didn't talk to Kit, and Kit didn't talk to anyone at all. "Asleep for two days. She was really close to dying." No reaction from big sis, not even with those news. The succubus frowned, she missed when big sis would talk to her. She glanced over at Cambion as if asking for help but he just turned his head away with a heavy sigh. "The angels treat me okay, I guess. Some don't trust us and one slapped me at lunch today, it was a bit silly." She shrugged then, demon wings wiggling, and yet there was still nothing.
It seemed Kit was going to ignore her this time too. Finally an angel walked in, opening the door. "Time's up, leave her alone for now." The name-Lilim-can't-remember-angel said, not unkindly, and Cambion left rather quickly. Lilim stood up as well, giving her sister one last withering glance, but walked out as well. "I'm going to see Celty." Lilim muttered, wings fluttering slightly with each step as she swallowed her own darkness pill. "Ew, it tastes awful today too." She wrinkled her nose sadly, and Cambion smirked. "It won't magically taste different if you hope for it, you know?" Lilim nodded, of course she knew it, she wasn't a dummy!
The succubus made her way to where Celty was, she was with two of her siblings, she recognized Raphael, her kidnapper, but Mizuki was still a bit of a blur. The girl grew a bit more timid, she still wasn't used to the angels or anything. "Um, I'll come back.. later?" The succubus squeaked, hands flapping anxiously. Celty was up, though, and surrounded with loved ones. A happy family reunion. The Demons would never have that, but at least Celty still had that one happiness. "Um, I'm glad you're awake." Lilim smiled, then spun on her heel to aimlessly wander about. "I'll leave you to it, then! Probably tired of seeing demons, right?" That's right, how insensitive of her! Of course Celty would only want to see angels from now on, it was silly to hope for otherwise.
