Kaitlin POV
Breaths escaped me as I ran, my eyes darting around, looking for the being following me. I heard a whoosh behind me and whipped around, I saw a man with a bird head, and a serpent's tail
“Amon…” I said hollowly, gasping for breath. A flicker of smypany entered his eyes but it quickly disappeared.
“Hello, Kaitlin.” His voice was cool, though his eyes were burning with a fiery rage. He seemed mad at me, I couldn’t place my claw on it.
I smoothed down my shirt and crossed my arms. “What do you want? I’m not going back to hell!”
“Yes you are! Hell is in chaos looking for you! Lucifer is… heartbroken! I- we miss you, Katilin! You were the only thing keeping hell together, we need you”
“Screw you,” I muttered. Though I did feel sort of bad, but I wasn’t going back. I had to look out for myself, and only myself.
“Katilin…” He smoothed down the feathers on his head, “Please?” Amon’s pleading eyes almost convinced me to go with him.
But it didn’t. “No.” I took off running in the opposite direction. Guilt hurting my heart.

I came across a… human town. It looked much different from the last time I was here, up on earth. But again, that was almost 2000 years ago. The city looked very… bright! That’s the word! The artificial lights lit up the dark night, but one caught my eye, I couldn’t read the human language that it was written it but, it still called for me, so I walked in.
“Were closing madam! I’m sorry but you can come back tomorrow!” His cheery voice made me look for him. He was in the corner… with a broom? But not like a normal broom, a normal broom wouldn’t have weird strips of rag on the ends.
I stood in the doorway for a bit, not saying anything, the young man was growing more, and more uncomfortable. “Ok.” I said. But said down in a booth anyway.
“Heh… Madam… were closed, you have to leave.” He pursed his lips, and glared. I tilted my head, not understanding.
“What is your human name?” I asked calmly. Unblinking.
“... uhhh, Ty, Tyler Rena?” He looked to the side, uncomfortable looking at me. Maybe it was my very inhuman like appearance, so I shifted it, I got rid of my horns, long claws, and sharp teeth. This seemed to only frighten him more.
“Well… Tyler Rena… I wish to live up here, with you, and your fellow humans.” I brushed hair out of my face and stared at him.
“Ah, well, ya see… you can’t just… live here ya know?”
“Why not?” I furrowed my eyebrows.
“Well, you’ll need money!” He stuttered.
“Where do I get this… money?”
“A-a job! You can work here if you want just-just like, leave for now!” I nodded my head and stood up, just as another human walked in, and looked at me with a questionable gaze.
My heart melted, and I froze in place. His hair, his deep blue eyes, and his fiery aura was to much for me to resist. The puddle I called my heart hurt because my husband, Lucifer, would never, ever let me get with him.
“Hello? Madam, why are you here, we’re closed…” He smiled brightly and I died.
“Y-yeah! I’ll go! Uh, uh, goodbye!” I did a quick bow and hurried out of there as soon as I could. A blush spread across my face as I thought of him again.
I let out a squeal, ‘I’m… I’m free..’ I was walking on the boardwalk when I saw it… a ball of fire sinking itself into the vast well of water. My breath hitched, tears threatened to spill from my eyes as a smile spread across my face.
I ran towards it. The ball of orange fire, making the sky turn pink. I got to the edge of the well, if that’s even what’s it’s called. I slowly dipped my foot in and screeched when the cold hit my foot.
“W-what?” I slid my other foot into the water, and slowly, but surely, I was up to my waist in the water. Something touched my foot and I grabbed it as quick as I could. I was… a scaly withering thing.
I bit into it.
