I have waited for so long for this Halloween. My minion has finally reported telling me that she sleeps alone, so now I walked the streets of her home, I waited for during the day. It was early morning and I decided to wait for her to wake up. So I stayed in the shadows as she got up by the sound of the alarm. She's grown up. 7 years old now. I looked at her as I see the windows closed, it's time to get up. I opened the windows with a soft motion of my hand to see it slowly opening. I looked down at her as she got up, I was hidden in the shadows.

She stretched as she got out of bed, she got dressed as I looked away. Not for my eyes to see. After I heard her tapping her shoes to the ground I let out of a breath to see her walk out the room. I followed her quietly, she went into the kitchen as I went in the shadows once again. She hummed as she made a jelly sandwich and put in a zip lock. I sighed as I looked at her as she ate an apple she looked up at the stairs, I did too see no one was there. She nods her head as she left the house. I followed her, she skipping along the sidewalk eating her apple. I shook my head as I stopped at the gate. I looked down.

I rolled my eyes as I softly went up on a brick wall waiting for her. I looked around to see homeless people walking through the streets but I didn't blink an eye. I yawned as I stretched out my black wings having it curl around my body. I waited but occasionally I did go out to do my work and come back and waited. I came back right after school ended. Everyone was dressed except for my little Angel. I frowned as she was the only one that didn't have a costume. I frowned.

"Hey, Faith! Want to go Trick or Treating with us?" A girl who smiled at her.

My Angel beamed at her, "really!" She asked clasping her hands together. I smiled as I looked down at her at the front of the gate.

The girl smirked, "No you are a freak from a Family of bad people." She pointed at her.

I stared at the girl, my little Angel just smiled sadly; "They're not bad people they just make mistakes! They do love me!" She told her with a proud smile.

The girl looked at her friends and shake her head, "That's what all people say when their mommy and daddy don't love them." She left her standing there. I looked down at her as she started crying. I jumped down softly putting my hand on her shoulder.

She looked up at me and cried into my trench coat I am wearing today. "You're back! I miss you, you are my only friend." She cried, clutching tightly against my coat. I put my hand on her head, smiling down at her.

"I'm here now. Want to go trick or treating?" I asked bending down to her level. She just looked up at me with a small smile.

"I don't have anything to wear." She sniffled.

I thought for a bit as I thought, "I can show you a magic trick!"

She looked up at me with teary eyes, "Okay..."

I looked around, "What do you want to be?"

She thought for a bit putting her finger to her chin, "I want to be a fairy!"

I laughed as I put my hands on my back as I gave her a smile, "Now what is the magic word?" I stared at her, she giggled.

"Please!" She held out her hands up, I laughed as I formed a fairy costume for her. When I showed it to her she was smiling. It was a teal color themed. The wings where sparkly as her dress with leggings had designs on them almost like vein-like. She looked up at me, giving me a hug. "Thank you, Mr."

I gave her a hug in return having my head on her shoulder, I held her tightly. I wish I can do more for her but sadly I cannot interfere with the human life. Even though I already did. When she pulled away she looked up at me with a large smile. "Happy little Angel?" I asked her.

She nods her head, "I want to put it on!" She told me as she skips home, I followed close behind her. I looked up to see the sky, I breathed in the air, it's fresh. I opened to see Faith holding the costume close to her. Putting my hands in my pocket. I watched her as she slipped into her house. I waited outside for her, I let out a breath of air. It's still light out. I rolled my eyes to see she hasn't come out yet. I shook my head. I wonder if I dress up I could be noticeable? Would it be like Family thing right? Not weird right?

I went to the curb as I sat thinking, I mean it's less suspicious. I thought for a while until I see little Faith looking cute in her costume. I looked at her shock. "You look like a fairy, Angel," I told her with a smile.

She twirled around, "You think so? Where is your costume?" She asked.

I went still as I giggled nervously, "I'm not dressing up this year."

She frowned as she grabs my hand, I looked at her curious about what she is doing. "Oh, maybe next year?" She asked.

I nod my head, "Alright."

I did the same routine, going to the house to house so she could collect her candy. I watched her as she gets scared running to me hiding in my trench coat. I sighed as I picked her up, she held onto my neck as I walked over to the next house putting her down. I know but it's comforting to her. I nudge her to go knock. I saw her as she did the yearly routine of doing the trick or treat. I sighed as I looked at her. The day went so fast. I looked up to see the moon.

She tugged my coat with a smile she showed me her full bucket. I smiled down at her, yeah I'll dress up next year. Not for me, but for her. "Ready to go?" I asked her. I picked her up as she nuzzled into my neck nodding. "Alright, let's get you home." I walked over to home as I enter her home quietly. Her dad, on the couch, knocked out again, and her mother isn't home. I quietly went up the stairs almost in a float like but she didn't know, she was asleep in my arms. I smiled as I rub my neck. I looked through her pajamas sets to find her favorite. I closed my eyes as I undress her, dressing her with my eyes closed and finally when I opened them I see she was tucked in her bed. I grab a teddy bear putting it in between her arms.

I could stay here, and watch her grow but she would never see me. It would hurt me to know that I can't do anything about it. I sighed as I sat back in the chair, it's 11 still. I didn't move from the spot, I sat there for an hour. Before I left for my home I locked the door. I am glad that she knows how to unlock it. I sighed as I closed my eyes feeling pain in my chest. There is nothing I can do, to protect her. I have to watch her grow up and become old. Until then, she would become an angel, a real one. I opened my eyes to see I am sitting on my chair in my room. I looked at my hand feeling her small hands, it lingers for a bit. I frowned.

I looked in the mirror, getting up I walked over tilting my head. "Show me, Faith," I told it. It swirled until I see the little Angel sleeping. I sighed as I walked out of my room. I walked towards the Path of Skulls. I walked over them not minding it. I sighed as I put my hand in my pockets. I walked over to the Blood Lake. I stared at the reflection to see my grey skin and my extended claws. My red eyes darker than blood itself. I blinked wishing for something different. No, instead I am dressed as a monster. I turned around feeling upmost tired. I yawned as I walked over to the gates of Hell. I opened on as I smelled the air of fear. I did my routine.

Walking back to my room, done doing my devilish duties. I walked over to my bed, feeling tired. I was about to undress until a Demon Slut came waltzing in, I didn't blink an eye. "You've changed." She slurred.

I quickly went up to her living her chin up to me, I sniffed her breath. "Ah, you've been drinking the blood of the Cubus lake," I looked away in disgust. "Get out." She giggled as she put her hands on me, I growled as I formed into my beast. I covered her, having my mouth drool. I licked my lips, she shrunk back as she tried to run but I closed the door in her face. She looked up at me and screamed, I bite off her head chewing down her skull. Then I ate the rest of her body after I was done, I licked the blood feeling a rush. I formed back as snapped my fingers. One of the Dulls held a trey off a napkin. I took it as I wipe my mouth. "That was delicious."

The Dull bowed his head as he walked back out the door. I breathed in as I walked back to my bed, today has been tiring. I looked down at myself, I rolled my eyes as I realized I was naked. I grab some sweatpants putting them on, I jumped on my bed as I put my hands behind my head looking up. I raised my hand then quickly put it back down. Next year I must wait to see my Angel once again. She would be 8, she's growing up so fast. I chuckled, I might be the Devil but I use to be an Angel. I closed my eyes wanting to forget my past, my present, and future. Centuries I was stuck down here. I was restless.

I didn't want to deal with a lot today, I use a lot of my energy either. I looked in the mirror to see the demon perched at the corner of a room, watching her. I am glad that the thing kept its job, all it has to do is watch he when I am not around. I observed it, the thing has some protection over her. I laughed as I remember some days it's been spotted and little Angle, innocent as ever, asked if it was okay. She made my demon looked shocked and not knowing, she even grabs it's hand one point pulling it to her room. Telling it to sit as she "fixed" the demon.

It grew attached as I could tell it shifts its tail, I know the demon won't hurt her. Usually, a lot of them are misunderstood. I smiled as I felt at peace as the demon watched her gently. It deserves a name, I shall think of one later. For now, I shall rest, knowing that my little girl would not mind the darkness of the world. She has proven to me she would always overcome it with a smile.
