I hope y'all enjoy it. It has been a while.

It had been a few months since you arrived on earth. You don’t remember much about how you got here except for a searing heat that you had never felt before. You vision went blurry before that heat hit your wings and your body felt like as if it shut off. When you finally awoke, you were in a city, dazed by the lights, rain and fast moving traffic. Your hands immediately went to your back before you let out a soft cry. They were gone. What allowed you to be an angel were gone, or so you thought. This is when he became involved.

*2 months earlier* You looked up at the bright lights of the city before walking out of the back alley you had landed in, “What am I to do?” The words a mere whisper as you felt your chest tighten. That is when you heard it, another voice, but not of an angel, oh no something different, worse, “A demon.” You hissed as you turned to look for it. Your eyes darted through the crowd as you tried to look for the knowing red glow, signaling just where they were.

A man in a black suit stood at a bus stop across the street, the red glow orbiting around him. You tilted you head and thought for a moment. If you were still an angel he would see the soft gold glow that you gave off, but if not, that answered your question. Were you still an angel or not?

You quickly crossed the street as the bus pulled up. You got on right behind him, glancing at where he was sitting. Before you could go any further, the bus driver stopped you, “Do you have a pass?” You looked at them confused, “Any cash on you?” You looked around knowing little about human currency but why would you have any. You felt that panic feeling in your chest and as you turned around to get off the bus, the man swiped his card over the machine, “I have them.”

His deep voice captivating you in a way that you couldn’t describe, “Stop!” You told yourself as you knew demons could tempt any angel. You looked up at him and thanked him before sitting across from him. You wanted your eyes on him just in case. He hadn’t given you a second glance yet and you began to worry, “This says it all. I’m done.” You let out a small sigh as one of the last people on the bus left. You glanced around to see only you and him on the bus. As your eyes did a quick sweep over him, you noticed he was looking.

“Is there something I can help you with?” His glow becoming darker, making you curious.

“It’s a darker red. What does that mean?” You whispered as you leaned forward some. You had always heard that if an angel and demon touched, one would be burned. You wanted to see if it was true as you slowly stuck your hand out.

The man gave you a puzzled look as he squinted his eyes and moved further into the seat, “I don’t think that is a smart idea.” You moved your hand back and looked at him with wide eyes. He looked over you before creasing his eyebrows together, “How do you see my glow?” He moved up in his seat, inspecting you.

“I’m an angel.” You said with only a slight bit of hope. His slight frown said other wise, “Oh no! You don’t see any glow? Not even a slight bit of gold-” Your words were cut off as he lean forward and placed a hand on your knee. You couldn’t hold it in and a small cry fell from your lips, “no.”

The man looked up and saw that the bus was coming to a stop, “You can stay with me, but no longer than two nights.”

You looked up at him as a few tears streamed down your cheek, “What is your name?” You sniffed as you realized you didn’t remember your own name.

The man stuck out his hand towards you before you cautiously took it, “My name is Finn and please don’t worry, I don’t bite.”

Your eyes widened as the thought of him hurting you raced into your head. You went into this with open arms, but you didn’t have a choice. You were to either sleep outside on the streets or take a demon’s kind gesture.

You both exited the bus and walked into a small building. He motioned to the stairs as you slowly trekked behind him. The only sound was the light breathing from both of you. As you got to the top, there was a single door, “It’s small and cozy but there is a bedroom for you.” He said as he looked at your wet clothes, “I think I might have a shirt and pants you can borrow.”

You softly said thank you as he held the door open for you. You felt that panicked feeling again as you saw symbols on the wall, “What do they mean?” You backed up a little only to run into him.

“Protection.” He mumbled as he step beside you.

His words confused you as you went up to one and slowly traced it, part of it smearing off. That burning feeling that you had felt was back as you fell to your knees, “AH!” You clutched your hand as you scurried away from the symbol.

Finn came rushing in, “Which one did you touch?” You were in too much of a state to say anything. You felt that. You felt that heat that you had felt when you fell. He wasn’t telling you something.

“Is there a glow?” Your voice loud as tears started to brim your eyes, “Am I still an angel?” Your voice soft as you slowly got to your feet.

Finn looked down at the ground before slowly looking at you, “You have a very soft glow but only in your hands. I felt a slight sting when I offered my hand to your earlier but when I placed my hand on your knee, I felt nothing. I don’t know the answer to your question.” Silence filled the room as you thought of everything you had ever learned. Was it actually possible to still have some angel in you?

“What are the symbols?” You asked as you sat on the ground, looking over your hands. You couldn’t see the glow and soon your eyes became tired, “What are you doing here?” Was the last thing you could make out before your eyes went heavy and you fell back against the floor.

Finn smiled as he looked at you as you quietly fell asleep. He saw the glow but couldn’t figure it out, “Did they finally come back?” Finn asked himself as he brought a pillow out from a room and threw a blanket over you.

As you awoke, you slowly took in your surroundings. This was the building from last night. You were in Finn’s place, but where was he. That man was quiet and seemed to keep to himself but you wanted to explore. You got up and quietly walked around his place. You studied the symbols, making sure not to touch any. Today you wanted to know more about him, seeing you only had a day or two with him. You walked over to the sliding doors and barely opened them, just enough to peek through. There was the man from last night laying in his bed. His chest bare but covered in old scars. You let out a gasp as you saw a scar that you had seen before. You lifted up your shirt and traced a scar identical to his, the angel scar. At this time you couldn’t help yourself. You knocked on the door loudly before walking in, “You were an angel? When and how did you become a demon? Why did you become a demon of all things?”

The man groaned as he placed a pillow over his head, “Too early.” He grumbled as you paced the room, trying to put things together.

“Please! I have to know, can you help me?” You felt something, something different. A different kind of heat, but you couldn’t put your finger on it. You placed your hand over your heart and took a deep breath.

“You feel it too?” Finn’s words making you look up at him. Before you could say anything, he lifted his finger at you to stop you, “We all have a purpose. Angels and demon alike. When I was an angel, I was asked to do something I didn’t want to do. I didn’t want to hurt the person that I loved. I don’t remember much except for a burning heat incasing my whole body and then I woke up here.” He looked down at his hands and let out a sigh. Finn knew he was lying but didn’t want to scare you. He thought of a quick lie to tell, “Though that feeling of being more superior was something I craved. I had heard about some demons who would take me in only if I swore to never allow that gold glow to take over me again.” At this time you had sat down on the edge of his bed, yearning to know more, “My gold is gone now. I always thought it  would stay but that isn’t true. It is either red, gold or gone. You’re here for a purpose, I’m sure. Finn glanced over you before moving closer to you, “What do you think your purpose is?”

You looked into his eyes and saw a hint of red, “I don’t know, but I know I want to be this.” You raised you hand to see a small shimmer of gold, “It’s all I have.”

Finn shook his head, “I don’t know why I want to say this but it’s not all you have, you have me too.” He gave you a small smirk, “I’ll help you, but know, that that is not what I want. I enjoy my life now.”

“Then what is the protection symbols for?” You tilted your head as you got up and walked out to the living area. You started to study them again and forgot about the other creature in the room.

“To keep away demons and angels.” His voice was soft as he walked over to the symbol you smeared yesterday, “That one was fresh. It’s to keep angels away, but as you see, it is now open, which I assume is why you’re still capable of being here, or it is the fact that you’re not strong enough.” His words also had you wondering.

“What do you think my purpose is?” You followed him into the kitchen as he turned on the coffee maker. The sound of the coffee being made filled the apartment, “Maybe it’s you.”

Finn gave you a quick glance before grabbing a mug, “Maybe.” He muttered.

You slowly rubbed your hands together, as if the glow would spread to the other one, “What if they realized they made a mistake?” You glanced up at him through your lashes and hoped he wouldn’t become mad, “What if they want you to come back?” As the words left your mouth, his glow became a more bright red and you knew you might of went too far.

“No!” His voice booming around the apartment, “They didn’t make a mistake. They never make mistakes.” He turned to you to see you off of the stool and in a fighting position, “Oh no! Oh no! I’m not going to hurt you! I promise..I just. It isn’t for me anymore and soon you’ll see you will have make a decision. Return to an angel or stay here.” You let your guard down slowly as he kept talking, “If you stay here, you don’t have to become a demon. Don’t think that you have to be something other than you.” He gave you a small smile before turning back around, “I know that decision won’t be hard for you seeing you’re glowing more.”

 You gasped as you ran to the closest mirror. He was right, your glow was stronger, but it wouldn’t matter if you didn’t have wings. You reached back and as felt the empty space, a small sigh fell from your lips.

You saw Finn walked into the view of the mirror, “They can grow back if you fulfill your purpose, but you have to figure out what it was.” You nodded at him as you walked into the bedroom that had clothes on the bed.

“Can I take a shower?” You asked as you scooped up the clothes. Finn nodded his head as you walked into the bathroom.

Finn let out a sad sigh as he sat on one of the stools, “I won’t make them stay. If they remember then they remember but I won’t force anything upon them. There is no purpose for them and that will be the hardest for them.” He rested his head in his hands.

As the water heated up, you let it run over your sore back as you thought everything over, “Think! What is my purpose? Why would I be here? Was running into him a coincidence or was it part of it?” As you reached behind you to turn off the water, you heard something. A voice, but not Finn’s, this one sounded familiar. You wrapped your towel around you as you barely poked your head out of the bathroom door.

“Where are they?” The voice spoke with a condescending attitude.

“I’m not sure I know what you mean.” You knew that voice, Finn’s powerful voice was echoing in the building.

“Don’t play stupid with me demon! The angel. Where are they? I know they are here. I followed them.” Your head cocked to the side as you tried to match a face to the voice. You poked your head out more to see Finn still in the kitchen and an angel with their wings wide. You felt a feeling in your stomach, was it pity, jealousy, anger, you weren’t sure but you wanted to know more of what was happening. You slowly stepped out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. Your eyes glanced over to the symbol that you had opened and quietly cursed to yourself. You had let this angel in and now if needed, you were going to take them out. A small can of paint sat underneath the symbol if needed.

“Why would I keep an angel here?” Finn said as he walked more into your view. He must of felt something because he glanced over into the area you were at and caught eye contact with you. You felt that burn from earlier when his eyes hit yours.

“You know damn well why. They fell for you when they were doing what was needed for their purpose. They wouldn’t back down after we told them to leave you. Soul mates aren’t real in our world but they kept spewing that worthlessness at us. So now we have a banned angel with a burned out demon. A demon who is keeping them HERE!”

Your scurried back further into the room as everything hit you at once. You had a purpose before all of this and instead fell for Finn, a demon of all things. You felt your head get heavy as you glanced down at the once gold glow becoming slightly red, “Wait! What did I do?” The tears were streaming down your face. You didn’t remember anything about Finn and now an angel was here to make sure that you didn’t even exist. You felt the room become tighter as the room became bright with a gold light, “No!” You knew that light, the angel was ready to fight. You scurried to your feet as you dashed out of the room.

“NO!” You heard Finn yell as you grabbed the paint brush. You glanced at the angel with a smirk as you ran the brush over the smeared paint. A loud wind filled the room as the angel’s wings brushed, trying to escape. All you heard though was ringing in your ears, you felt that burn again, this time more powerful than before. You watched as the gold glow slowly crept away. This was it and you knew it, but you were willing to do it for him. As the last bit of gold dimmed away, you fell backwards with a thud.

 “I won’t leave him!” You shook your head as you awoke. You felt like your were in a dream. There you were in front of yourself yelling at a group of angels. You were hidden in the back watching as you told the angels of what had become of you and this angel you could not see.  Your eyes widened as you saw your wings again. You felt the tears well up before you gasped in horror as you saw what was kneeling beside you, “Finn!” You whispered to yourself. Finn was here and was an angel. You heart sunk as you realize what happened and that he lied to keep you safe. You went to lunge forward but you couldn’t move, you could only watch what angel you did.

“This was not your purpose. Angels have their own purpose, each other is not it!” An older angel stood in front of you. You took that same stance you took earlier towards Finn, “What is your purpose?” The angel crouched in front of Finn.

Finn glanced up at the angel you before back at the older angel, “My purpose is right there. My everything.” The older angel swung his arm back before connecting his hand across Finn’s face. Both you and the angel you snarled as the older angel looked back at the group.

“I know what we are to do.” He beckoned something or someone and soon the room went quiet. You looked up to see something swiftly flying in, you gasped as you started to remember just what happened.

“Oh Finn.” You couldn’t watch. You knew what was to happen. Finn never arrived on earth as an angel, no, he arrived as a demon.

“You called.” The tall dark creature hissed at the older angel.

“He will make a great demon don’t you think?” He directed his question directly at you, looking past the angel you. Just as you went to speak, you heard Finn’s cries.

Your eyes shot open as you jerked awake from the dream, “FINN!” You cried out before seeing him kneeling beside you, “I’m so sorry! I didn’t remember and I couldn’t stop them-“ Finn stopped you by pulling you into his chest.

“Shh. It is alright.” You let our a small sob as he sat down more, “I knew at some point of time, you would be here. I hoped it wouldn’t happen because you fit so perfect there, but it did. They never sent you here for a purpose because you had already found yours.” Finn pulled back to look you in the eyes, “I’m sure you don’t remember but it was you who banished yourself. That angel was here to make sure there was no angel left in you, but you had some.”

You didn’t feel any shock anymore, you totally believed it. You glanced down and noticed your red glow, “Oh no.” You fell quiet for a second, “Am I a demon now?”

Finn shook his head, “No you just have the protection of one, so you have that glow. Unfortunately when you closed that symbol, it took all your angel from you. I’m sorry.”

You head hung low for a few moments, “That is okay. If they didn’t realize that my purpose was you, then I have to realize that my purpose isn’t them.”

“Our purpose was each other.” You smiled at Finn before slowly standing up, “I’m going to have to stay a few more days to make this a home.”

*Present* Finn pulled you closer as you two laid in bed. You had recently become interested in astronomy and had painted the ceiling with constellations, “This is exactly what I envisioned our future to look like, well maybe with wings kind of being in the way of cuddling.”

Finn chuckled at your statement and kissed your forehead. He looked up at the bottom of the painting and smiled at the words written, “Our purpose.” You glanced up at him with a smile before looking around you. You couldn’t see the red glow anymore being that you have no angel in your, but you knew that it burned brighter than ever before.
