~Adrestia's PoV~
Usually, when someone is kidnapped you'll hear them say something like: 'Darkness, everywhere I looked was black. I was surrounded by it and couldn't see a thing.' However, this was no ordinary kidnapping. It was my kidnapping. In my situation everything was white, a blinding stark colour everywhere I looked, I couldn't hide from it. I would have preferred the darkness, as it was too bright and my eyes hurt from staring at the wall for what felt like hours. The room I was in was bare, containing only a plain white chair in the centre of the room that I was tied to with some weird magic I guess? Bloody Angels and their 'good' miracles, I guess someone had made this room unescapable, is that a word? It is now.
Besides the chair there was nothing but a small monitor above me, viewing level yet nothing had been displayed on it since I had entered the room. Getting me into the room was, well, quite a struggle. I put up a fight managing to wriggle free from the Angel guards grasp but only for a fraction of a second, after that they gagged me, saying "Dear lord you talk too much, please someone shut the girl up" to which I chuckled, I did talk too much yes, joking and laughing even when I knew I was doomed. Joking was something I did to hide the pain. The pain of knowing that I may never see Crowley again. It hurt, on the outside I was covered in bruises, scars and blood from where the 'reconditioning team' tried to knock sense into me, surprising me as I was sure heaven would never sink to this low, thinking they were to love every living creature. Obviously, this rule changes when war is on its way. You may think to yourself, wow she must be in agony and you are correct I am, but it is not my scars, nor my open wounds that are hurting. Emotionally I was cracking, the more abuse I got the weaker my mental state became, the only thing that kept me going was Crowley. I knew that if the Angel's were too busy dealing with me then they wouldn't have any time to see what he and Aziraphale were up to, and even if they were to have a quick glance at them they would see nothing, not go into too much detail following there movements.
At this hour, I had given up on escape, they wouldn't let me go until I was deemed, 'reconditioned' but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon, so I would stay in my cell in heaven until a package arrived for me. I have been waiting for it, the calling to the horsemen. No doubt I would be the last one summoned. Typical I thought.
The Angels left me only 10 minutes ago, telling me to watch the screen. The screen lit up, showing a smug looking Gabriel and Archangel Micheal, great not these assholes.
"Good day to you death, and welcome to Being Death 101 with me Gabriel" he smiles, gesturing to the lady beside him "and me Archangel Micheal," she says, smiling sweetly. A fake smile none the less. They continue to talk and explain what they are going to be doing, apparently teaching me how to do my own godamn job in under two hours. Once those two hours had passed they would come in and access me. "Goody gumdrops" I murmur, rolling my eyes, the message was obviously pre-recorded which pissed me off even more. This tape had been around for ages! As if they were expecting me to fail, I still had no clue what I had even done wrong, did people stop dying? No. Was the waiting room in limbo too busy? Probably. Did I plot against them trying to end the war before it started? Yes ok, you've got me there. But it didn't seem like the angels were aware of this, not one of them had questioned me about it only about my involvement with the demon Crawley to which I replied with "Crawley? Pfft never heard of him. Crowley, on the other hand, is my man so hands off!" This gained an awful lot of hushed muttering
"a demon in love with death? This can't be"
"She of all people found love? I'm sure she's lying"
"That's impossible, death can't love somebody! Death is stone cold and unfeeling!"
"Nobody could love her! She kills for a living!"
More and more comments kept coming and coming, each one like a dagger through my heart. Was I really unloveable, just a cold manufactured killing machine designed only to take souls? I was starting to believe that maybe I was, that maybe it was all just in my head, that I'd been up there too long, gone native as they call it, and Crowley had the same issue. I did my best to shake away these thoughts, surely not, I know I can feel and I know Crowley can too. I love him... he loves me, doesn't he? H-he wouldn't lie to me, right? I think of times where it was just him and me. Messing around doing fuck all right and fuck all wrong. We had only been dating a couple of days tops and I felt like I had been dating him all along, in a way we were...
I laugh remembering the time I had gotten a job out of boredom. I was a teacher, weird I know but I wanted to educate these poor bastards about the real world and what it's like. Also, I was good at maths soooo. One time I was teaching physics to my class when Crowley came bursting in, I hadn't seen him in months and his sudden appearance took me by surprise. Turns out he had been looking for me all night to warn me about an inspection. I smiled at him and told my class that he'd be joining us as an assistant for the day, really it was just an excuse for him and me to hang out. That day I lost my 'job' for cursing and accidentally killing all the botanist's plants. I blame Crowley for that but he denies it saying "Peer pressure is no excuse, Addie, you could have just walked away but noooo you had to be a little show off". More and more memories come flooding back to me of our stupid adventures, just Crowley and I, occasionally Aziraphale. I close my eyes in an attempt to relive the stupid memories, surprisingly it worked as I began to recall all the years we had been on this earth. These thoughts made me stronger as I began to realise these feelings were real, not fake. I truly had become weak in the eyes of the Angels, but in the eyes of myself, I had become stronger.
