I send my best regards from hell

“You could be lying there, too.” Emily said, her head going to the side, though she still considered it. She couldn’t handle a bunch more demons, not on her own. “Why do you want to kill them, anyway?” she asked. She knew now they were apparently on a time limit, but she needed to know in order to figure out what to do.

Val nodded, it wouldn't be completely beyond the realm of possibility that she was lying. “You may be aware that demons are backstabbing, dishonest, and just downright cowards. Their treacherous nature not only extends to humans, but to each other. These particular demons thought they could play me for a fool, that I wouldn’t find out about their double-crossing ways. They’re coming here to hide very expensive artwork I planned to auction off, to sell it and pocket all of the money for themselves.” As she finished explaining, the low rumble of an engine could be heard approaching. “Ah, that’ll be them. So, you can either let me go and live through this ordeal, or die horrifically. It’s up to you, darling.”

“Um…” he hesitated not thinking of anything convincing. “I was just making sure no one weird was following you. It’s late, you can’t be too safe.” Wow, nice one, moron, he thought to himself.

She turned to face him fully, raising a brow at him. “You didn’t want anybody to follow me, so you yourself decided to follow me? Isn’t that rather counterproductive?” She asked, “You’re doing the very thing you are trying to prevent other from doing, it’s all rather unconvincing. So, why don’t you tell me why you’re really here?”

“Sorry, what did you say? I wasn’t listening.”

“I don’t… trust you.” Emily said after a moment. “As much as I would want to dig the bullet out and let you heal, I just… don’t.” She shifted a little on her feet. “How about I leave a line of salt around you or a devil’s trap in something like chalk so you can get out later?”

“And rightly so. You should never trust a demon, darling.” She agreed, clasping her hands together. “However, would you be more inclined to release me if I were to tell you that there were more demons on their way? The reason I’m here, you see, is to kill them. They think I have an important job for them, and if they find me here with a bullet in my head, and you with the gun.... I’m sure you can figure out the rest.”

“I wasn’t stalking, I swear,” he spoke softly as he came out from behind a bush.

“Then what were you doing, hmm?” She questioned, turning her head towards him slightly.

“There’s no point in hiding, I know you’re there.”

“If I were to kill every person that has taken a shot at me, there would be a long trail of bodies right behind me.” She sighed, “And whilst I’m not particularly happy that I have blood all over this dress, it’s not something I’d kill you over.”

"There must be something beyond this something."

"I will try not to be long."

"I don’t know where I am."

"I told you I would be back."

"I let that woeful beast live."

"We have each other."

"As with life, and as with all things, it will pass."

"Am I in Hell?”

“I am certain that there must be more to us than just us."

"Let’s not dwell on our corpse strewn past; let’s celebrate our corpse strewn future."

"I probably won’t miss you."

"Well, let’s just find out together, shall we?"

"And it’s just no good anymore. We can’t carry on like this."

"Nothing is real, I don’t think. Whatever; who cares?"

"When I die, I want to have earned it."

"The present tense of regret is indecision."

"The future tense of fear is either comedy or tragedy."

"I can disappear if I want to."

"And what if the void is not as void as we thought?"

"Time is weird; so is space. I hope ours match again someday."

"We should all be so lucky to set our own futures."

"I fear for what we know."

"I fear for what we don’t know."

"We have nothing to fear and never did."

"It is likely I will learn nothing from this."

"After everything that happened, I just wanted to see you."

"It is too late for us."

"But maybe you shouldn’t sleep in your home anymore. Just in case."

"Your sadness will know no bounds."

"Nothing will be the same."

"Nothing has ever been the same."

"When something is this weird, one shouldn’t assume to understand anything specific about it at all."

"Ignorance may not actually be bliss, but it certainly is less work."

"No one has ever known anything—not really."

"I don’t know much about anything at all, honestly."

"Everything is some level of probably, nothing is a promise."

"You don’t know, and so it might very well."

"Nothing ever really happens to me."

"Thanks, that means lot. Not to me, but your words hold a lot of meaning intrinsically."

"So it’s best just to stay away."

"It cannot give you what you need."

"Oh, you don’t even want to know."

"But it wasn’t what I thought it would be."

"I’ll be back as soon as I can."

"You have no idea how often it is just you and me."

"There always seems to be something upsetting you."

"It’s not that there’s nothing coming to get you; there’s everything coming to get you. But relax anyway."

"Don’t worry. All is as it was meant to be."

"It was meant to be lonely and terrifying and unfair and fleeting, don’t worry."

"This is because I am also slightly malicious. Sorry about that."

"Thinking about it now, nothing seems good, let alone perfect."

"And those imperfections in our reality are the seams and the cracks into which our outsized love can seep and pool."

"And sometimes we’re annoyed. And disappointed. And that, too, is a part of how love works."

"I just thought it was time for us to make a home together.”

Emily blinked. “You’re a demon. Demons are bad news. And also likely to kill me if I don’t immobilize them.” Sure, it was a generalization, but 99.9% of the time a correct one.

Val was surprised her eyes didn’t role out of her head right then. “Yes, demons are bad news. We do have a rep to keep up, after all. But unlike other demons, I rarely kill without a good reason. So unless there’s something you’ve done to wrong me that I’m unaware of, you are perfectly safe with me. Well, generally safe.”

“Yup. Devil’s trap bullet.”
