"There's a warped sense of justice in Heaven," said Derma with a light shake of his head, "if they would have just listened to me in the first place I wouldn't have left and things wouldn't have gone so wrong for my brother. But..ugh...that war was so pointless, so much was lost on both sides and nothing good came of it..."

"Yes, white," said Alec nodding his head lightly.

"Your brother is safe now though..And he has a sexy incubus caring for him.I'll even allow you to go see him sometimes..Now that your in hell, no rules from heaven apply..I'd bet Caelistis would love to tell Alec that your not dangerous..Samael is sort of a friend of Cael, so you could meet him easily.I'd bet you could meet him now, if you can get past that incubus's guard, just don't make any sudden moves and maybe I can even let you off your chain for a while to go be with your little sweet soon to be fallen brother.How cute, you two might be together for all eternity again, how touching." Abaddon laughed, soon finishing picking clothes out for Derma at that store."Now come, love." He said, paying for the clothing and heading off, dragging Derma behind him."Lets get that cute little belly of yours pierced.And attempt to avoid my sister some more.."

Sasha paid for the clothes and smiled."Now come on, lets go to another store..Hmm..Alec, you don't happen to have ear piercings, do you?Just curious, since there's a nice jewelery place nearby.One of the twins' cousins runs the place.Blood cousins, that is, those poor boys have so much to worry about during holidays..THREE familys to visit.Blood and their two adoptive ones."

Derma sighed slightly he wasn't sure he felt any better about his brother's situation, but he supposed it was better than it could have been. He stuck his tongue out slightly he really didn't want to have to get his belly pierced.

Alec shook his head in response to Sasha's question.

"It's not that bad, It hurts, but you'll barely be able to feel it there, after awhile.." Abaddon smiled devilishly."Plus I don't give a damn if you want it or not, you'll look damn sexy.And I like that.." He laughed.

Sasha sighed."Aww..Well, do you like jewelry?I don't want to bore you while me and Bridget get new earrings.."

"Yeah I know you don't," said Derma with a slight sigh.

Alec shrugged lightly. "It's okay I guess," he said after a moment.

"You'll look lovely, baby..So don't be shy." Abaddon whispered into Derma's ear, walking into the jewelry store/piercing parlor he had been leading Derma to and speaking to the clerk, who happened to be a friend of his, an incubus who looked alot like Lucy, but with snakebite piercings in his bottom lip.

"Ah, so you want him to have one in each of his ears and his belly pierced?Alright, I can do that.Come with me, Derma." The incubus smiled, beckoning Derma to come behind the counter with him and Abaddon.

"We can get you a cute bracelet or something maybe." Bridget giggled."You'd look cute with an anklet on, as well.."

Derma quirked an eyebrow slightly at Abaddon's words. "I'm not shy," he said, he just wasn't much of a fan of piercings was all. With a somewhat exasperated sigh Derma shrugged and followed the demon behind the counter.

"Maybe," said Alec with a light shrug.

Soon Abaddon and the demon came out of the back with Abaddon leading Derma by his chain, keeping the newly pierced falled angel out."See, that wasn't so bad, you look so sexy now.." The demon prince said, kissing the angel's cheek.

Sasha smiled."I don't know why, but I think angels in your size look adorable in an anklet..It's so cute and innocent looking.."

"Yeah whatever," said Derma crossing his arms over his chest.

Alec laughed lightly at Sasha's words and merely shruged.

Abaddon kissed Derma's lips lightly and grinned."C'mon, let's pick you out some earrings other than the ones your wearing already, for when your able to change them."

Sasha and Bridget brought Alec to the same store Derma and Abaddon were in and they giggled, waving to the demon behind the counter, Lucy and Nero's cousin.

"Yeah okay," said Derma somewhat less than thrilled.

Alec looked around but quickly stuck to hiding behind Bridget and Sasha. He was more frightened of Abaddon than he was of Derma, but both had him hiding behind the two flower demons.

"You'll barely ever feel them, I think you'll even start to like them over time.You look absolutely frigging sexy with them, and you won't have to wear them all the time, after the time you have to keep them in is up." Abaddon said, smiling at Derma."After this, we can go home, alright?I'll make sure to get Ophelia distracted so we can have some..Private time."

"Don't be scared of him, Alec..Prince Abaddon may look scary, but he's one of the princes that protect the fallen angels.And that fallen, Derma?I don't know about him, but he's not too bad, I guess..Better than a prince of hell.I've never really gotten to talk to him before." Sasha smiled, looking at the anklets and picking out one with little dangling milky-colored glass beads decorating the simple, cute chain."Do you like this, Alec?It looks like your type of thing, you'd look cute in your new clothing with it, I'm sure Lucy will love it."

"Maybe," said Derma with a light shrug, perhaps all it would take was some getting used to, because right now he felt stupid. "Hmm? Alright," Derma said after a moment, he had gotten distracted a bit when he had caught sight of Alec, though he wasn't about to approach him as it was obvious that he was already frightened without Derma having to do anything.

"Oh okay...but I don't trust Derma," said Alec lightly, before turning his attention to what Sasha had picked out. "Um, it's okay. I'm not too good with knowing what looks good on me really," he said with a light laugh.

"Ah, these should look nice on you.." Abaddon said, picking out a pair of skull-shaped stud earrings, and a pair of little black studs."Nice and simple, nothing too fancy."

"Well we have a good sense of fashion so we can tell, lucky you." Sasha giggled."And you have nothing to worry about with Derma, I hard all of his power was taken from him when he fell."

"Yeah sure," said Derma, still obviously fighting the whole concept.

Alec smiled lightly at Sasha's words, it was nice to know that Sasha knew what he was talking about or at least was confident enough to give that impression. He frowned slightly at Sasha's other words and looked to be a bit confused. "Oh? That's not what I was told..." he said lightly.

"Again, after the first few months, you can take them out, as long as you put them in every once in a while, they won't close up..Or you could always grow your hair in a way that covers your ears." Abaddon said, smiling and waving at the flower demons behind him, Bridget waving back.

"Yes, I heard as soon as he fell, all of his power was taken away, so he couldn't fight anymore. The Devil does that alot with more powerful angels, to make sure they aren't secret angels of God or anything, coming down under the guise of fallen angels, but really attempting to assasinate powerful demons, even attempting on the royal family." Sasha said, picking out another anklet, which was the same as the other one he had picked out for Alec, but with what looked like diamonds, but of course was just simple glass beads.

"Yeah, whatever," said Derma.

"I guess that makes sense," said Alec lightly. He knew better though, but he supposed that even the Devil had to take precautions.

Abaddon smiled, picking out a few necklaces for himself and paying for everything."Now come, Derma..Lets go home, alright babe?"

"They're still living near to you and the twins, just an fyi.They just moved in to a mansion very nearby our house and your house, Abaddon got old enough to have his own mansion, yesterday was his 2567th birthday." Sasha giggled."All of my freinds were squealing about it.."

"Yeah okay...but don't call me that," said Derma with a slight shake of his head.

"And was Derma his birthday present?" asked Alec making a joke despite himself.

Abaddon led Derma out, gently tugging on the fallen's chain, and smiled at Alec devilishly, then back at Derma."Don't worry little one, I'll take veeeerry good care of your beloved." He creepily said to Alec, his voice seeming to echo even more than usual, as he walked out.

"Actually, yes.He was his early brithday present.Derma's kind of lucky, though.He gets pampered, I hear..Sure Abaddon's a bit rough, but he's got his odd caring side.It's rumored that some of the princes' mothers were an angel, handpicked from heaven by Lucifer in disguise as an incubus, quite like how Lucy got you." Bridget laughed."It seems alot of demons, including Lucy, love to repeat that, believing that angels make the best mates, if they ever have children, even if the angel falls, they know their children will be cared for well, as they believe angels are all gentle creatures, except for most seraphim."

Derma didn't protest to being led out. He was of course still a little concerned for Alec, but for the most part knew the other angel would be okay. Besides if he started to interfere in Alec's life and break the seal on his memories...well he really didn't want to do that, though at the same time he wouldn't have minded Alec at least remembering that they were brothers.

Alec shivered slightly at Abaddon's words before turning his attention back to Bridget. "I can't imagine he likes that much," said Alec with a light shrug, to the best of his knowledge he knew Derma to be a very independent creature and he couldn't imagine he would like pampering all that well. "There was supposedly a group of five seraphim, Derma being one of them, that were said to be particularly...vicious might be the right word, they were referred to as Heaven's Demons...but I think it was five years ago that they just suddenly vanished, well I mean something like that, obviously Derma fell but I dunno about the other four," said Alec with a light shrug, "after all I only know this because of a journal I read."

Abaddon, being the mischevious demon that he is, turned around and magically extended Derma's chain so he could go farther from the fallen, and grinned at Alec."Don't be scared, Alec..Your brother will be fine with me..Even without his seraphim powers, Derma is a strong, strong man.." He said softly, the higher pitched echo revealing itself more as he leaned down and whispered in the little angel's ear, before walking back to Derma.

Bridget raised an eyebrow as Abaddon walked back, then looked back at Alec, giggling."What an honor, privately whispered to by a prince of hell..What did he say?"

"What did you say to him?" asked Derma almost demanding to know but keeping such an edge carefully hidden.

Alec blinked slightly, confused by Abaddon's words, but too nervous of the prince to question them. Alec looked back at Bridget, the look of confusion still plain on his face. "I don't understand what he meant...I don't have any brothers and Derma certainly wouldn't be one of them, we're nothing alike," said Alec.

"Nothing too terrible.Nothing that'll scar him for life, just that his brother will be fine with me." Abaddon grinned, leading Derma out of the mall.

"Not all brothers have to look alike.I know two hibiscus flower demons, one has yellow skin, a bright red flower, and red eyes, the other has green skin, a yellow flower, and gold eyes.They're related by..I guess it's not really blood with us, more like plant nectar stuff..It's odd to most." Bridget giggled.

"Okay then," said Derma less than thrilled, he didn't know if that kind of information, though seemingly small, would do to the block put on his memories. Maybe nothing bad at all, or something horrible, though the latter seemed much less possible currently.

"Not really what I meant," said Alec lightly, "I dunno...it's just that you think I would have remembered that kind of thing."
