Along With The Divine

The last thousand of years together felt like a blur. One of them saving a small portion of humanity while the other damned it. Now and then, she would preform her own special little miracle just for the demoness. Dooming some poor soul to Hell while her frien-the demoness blessed someone. Giving them more luck than they admittedly deserved. They did a lot of things together that either of their sides would not approve of if they had ever knew. Yet, neither the angel or demoness really seemed to care all that much. It wasn’t as if either side had kept their watchful eye on them.

Or even honestly cared to do so.

For the most part, they barely had to answer to anyone that was remotely in charge. Well...until the apocalypse began. Some poor soul had started it. Now they were having to answer to their bosses. Be reprimanded for their past actions, fraternizing with each other, and doing what they had done. Each of them receiving a punishment from each of their disrespective sides. Adora having to condemn twenty souls by the end of the week. While being heavily supervised by her former teacher. It had been a slightly better week and she had managed it. The demoness seemed to have gotten off easy.

Charmeine’s punishment on the other hand...she seemed so much more tired. Like she’d been dragged through Hell’s worst parts by Hellhounds. At least that’s how she looked like when they met in their secret meeting place. A tiny hole in the wall cafe. Their table was in the way back and out of sight from the door. She was glancing over her shoulder constantly. Keeping quiet as she listened for any noises that would indicate their imminent demise. While Adora poured Splenda into her coffee, Charmeine muttered,”I’m going to explore the galaxy, Peaches. I’ve had it with Earth.”

Stilling her spoon, she stared at the angel before her. Eyes widening slightly as she asked,”You’re going to do what?”

“I'm leaving Earth. Explore the universe and never come back.”,she repeated. The angel adjusted her leather jacket as she scanned the cafe for the millionth time. Her teeth chewing her bottom lip as she did. She glanced back at Adora as she continued,”I can’t take this anymore. The apocalypse, the punishments, and the Anti-Christ. I’m done...I just don’t wanna be here anymore.”

“...well, little dove, I’m going to really miss you when you’re off exploring the universe.“,Adora muttered. Taking a sip of her coffee as she struggled to not let her emotions show. Charmeine was leaving for the galaxy and her behind on the slowly burning ball. Never coming back. It was hard to not cry. She almost choked on her drink when Charmeine said,”I won’t miss you, Peaches.”

“…not exactly the heartfelt goodbye I was looking for, little dove.”,Adora mumbled. Her vision going blurry as she glanced down at her cup of coffee. There was a slight pain in her chest as she continued,”Especially after all we’ve been through together.”

“Because this isn’t goodbye.”,Charmeine stated. The demoness glanced up from her drink. Her eyebrow raised in confusion as she stared at her. A faint blush growing over her face as the angel continued,”You’re coming with me, Peaches.”

“There’s no one I’d rather explore the cosmos with than you.”,she admitted with a nervous smile. Staring into Adora’s eyes, she said,”You don’t have to if you don’t want to. We’ll never be able to come back when we do this.”

It was the angel’s turn to blush when Adora asked,”Why would I want to be anywhere you’re not?”
