Sinful Actions /»»/ AU

-The girl turned back to me and grabbed my wrists. I was too frightened to move away from her.

"Faith, I was gonna let you go and your own place but you've seriously got to come with me now. It's too dangerous for a Fallen to be alone, even a Fallen with your credentials." She said and then the ground beneath began to shimmer and I always blinded momentarily.

When I opened my eyes next, we were inside a tiny apartment. The girl let me go and motioned toward the table next to us.

"Sit. You probably want to know whats going on and I'm gonna tell you."

I complied and sat down at the nearest chair, rubbing my arms to try and rid myself of the cold that had settled into my bones the moment that man stuck his blade inside his foe. Tears pricked my eyes at the barbary of it all. He didn't have any regret in his eyes once the deed was done. He took a life and just carried on as if he was innocent. He had no conscience.

I wiped away my tears and saw the girl grimacing.

"You always were sensitive about murder. I'm sorry you had to see that, Faith." She said. "Would you like some tea?"

I nodded and watched as she looked through the cabinets for what she needed.

"You knew me?" I asked her.

"Well, not as well as Phoenix, obviously, but you were a good friend to me before I got commissioned down here. Oh carp, sorry. I didn't tell you my name. I'm Reagan."

"Kay." I said and stayed quiet for a few moments before asking. "Who's Phoenix?" Saying that name left a dull ache in my chest. I wondered if something bad had happened between us.

She groaned. "Sorry for even bringing him up. We can't have this conversation."

"Why?" I asked, perplexed.

"Because you still haven't gotten your letters from the Big Man." She said, pointing upward.

"Big Man? You mean, like, God?" I asked Reagan as she came back with two mugs of tea.

"Exactly. It shouldn't be too long. You were one of the Big Seven." She assured me.

"Alright."

"In the meantime, I need to explain the rules around here. Especially now with those two demons running around, trying to wreck havoc." She snarled that last part out.

"Number one, don't go anywhere by yourself. I don't want to be the one to explain to the Big Man that you got killed during your trials."

"Seems simple enough." I shrug.

"You'd be surprised. Rule number two. You need to call me every time you receive a letter."

"Okay."

"Rule number three is the most important. Don't ever try to talk or engage in a battle with a demon. Steer clear of them because they have a nasty habit of changing Fallens into demons by killing them and resurrecting them in the dark. You are weaker than you originally were. You will lose."

My mind flashed back to that man being stabbed and I nodded hard.

"And lastly, number four. You're name is Faith Jamesmith until you've been restored. Remember that because it might do you good later."
