How to Save a Life (Starring Sammy and Tooki)

One of the demons had glared at him, looking pretty pathetic from where he was standing. Considering how the kid that shared half of what he was treated him, it was nice to see some of them in a sad position like this. ”Well, looks like the little lady has no issue with me working over you guys.” His words dripped with venom, and they could sense it. However fear was not what came from them, instead a certain defiance while they communicated with Tyuki who seemed to be an oddity within The Pit. Not many angelic figures entered into the place, mostly because the place didn’t care for the good kind. One of them spoke, raising their not-brow as they questioned the truth of how things unfurled before. That was when he found himself being looked at with a questioning expression, as if she didn’t know what had just been said.

Wasn’t she just in The Pit not too long ago?

”Pits the bar you found me in. Sort of a...hellhole of sorts where the worst kind of people gather to drink. Normally people like you don’t come around, mostly because they can’t come around. You’re kind of an anomaly I think.” He looked to the demons with a clenched fist, causing one of them to flinch before they nodded. ”So, why were you following this nice young woman? Aside from being massive creeps.” He added, the nails on one of his hands shifting into thick, black ravens talons. Another threat, and one more dangerous than the fist.

”We wanted to see what kind of thing she was. She’s no ordinary angel, walking into the pit like that. ” One of them said, eyeing his claws meaningfully.

”That sounds like a perfect reason to stalk someone” The eye-roll wasn’t visible but it was there. ”so what should we do with them?”

There was something about him putting the lives of others in the hands of an angelic individual but then again these were demons. He held little care for those that shared that demonic heritage, especially if they shared a father. Luckily these were no spawns of that prince. She muttered to herself about her aunt and uncle, though he didn’t even know who they were. No names came with them so he was tempted to ask who they were. Maybe those were names that he knew within the world he worked in.

Things did quickly change to him with a question about what he did. ”Yeah, a few important people come to me when they need something looked into.” He stroked his chin, looking the three bound demons over. ”sometimes I have to clean things up and sometimes people just really need their mysteries solved.” Like a Nancy Drew of sorts, minus a few key features anyway.  His wings flexed a few times, rustling loose a feather. With a frown he turned to Tyuki, arcing a single brow.

”You...weren’t looking for me were you?” His tone sounded incredulous but then again it was very possible. How someone could look for a person without knowing what  ”who are you anyway? You make your aunt and uncle sound like someone important.”

Now he was dealing with someone that was the niece of a pretty important thing. An aunt and uncle, though he didn’t know the name immediately. Honestly it was hard to remember all of these monikers that people used when a lot of important people existed within this world. ”Sounds like a pretty strict woman,” He noted, huffing slightly while letting his eyes wash over the demons they had managed to bind with unyielding metal. With one last look, pushing aside the thoughts that demanded he kill them the cambion rose with a flap of wings.

The cold wind smelled faintly of snow, a storm coming though he didn’t intend to be there in time. Once they were properly hovering within the air she began to speak, mostly explaining who she was and that aunt who seemed so important.  Something about her name sounded familiar once said but he couldn’t quite figure out off the top of his head. ”Sounds pretty important if you ask me, but I know many rich types who are secretly important in the supernatural underworld. Think I have heard of you before, though have to admit I don’t follow celebrities too much.”

Who this Dreamweaver was, however was something else entirely. Not a person he had heard too much about beyond but there was something he could do to find the person that was being looked for. ”Well, I know what it’s like to have someone trying to make my life a living hell. So, maybe I could help find this person and you do whatever it is you need to do.” Something told him that did not involve killing this thorn in her side. ”would just have to give me what info you have and I can work from there.”

A few more flaps as he stole a few glances as the criminals the two of them had tied up down there. ”Anything in specific you want done with her or should I leave that to you?”

Samael listened to why the girl wanted this person found and nodded as if understanding. ”Well, I know how that feels,” Which he did. He had a half-brother who thought killing him would have been fine because he was a demon and deserved to be killed. Honestly he half expected Nathaniel to rise from an unknown alley with golden flames rising around him and wanting to ram a crystal blade through his chest. ”besides, your nemesis deserves someone to chase them down and make them suffer like they do to you,” He shrugged, despite the fact he had no intent to go beating up unknown women.

”Well that might be better than whatever I would have done with them,” He pursed his lips thoughtful, nodding when he could agree with it. So long as he stayed away from these police when they came around. Because honestly he knew they would likely recognize his face and do something about it. Might have been that nauseating optimism that kept him from immediately taking the violent action to shut these men down. ”an uncle Nate? Sorry, I have a half-brother with the same name but don’t know anything about someone with a talking gun that smokes,”

Quickly he descended and allowed the wings to fold back against his back with the feathers brushing against his back and shoulders. ”this uncle someone I should meet? Because sounds like you’re related to some pretty important people, though most important people these days want me pretty dead.”

”I’m the black sheep of the family. It happens sometimes,” He said with a casual shrug,  smirking despite how strange that might have sounded to any normal humans. His whole world was composed of strange scenarios that might have turned any normal person off after all. He didn’t react to the statement of her being dead once, because near death experiences were not unheard of. Instead he listened to the list of family members ; one of which stuck out more than the others. His eyes wide in surprise as if he had heard those exact syllables from from her mouth.  

It was when the two of them landed that it all clicked and he tried to open his mouth to speak and Tyuki continued to talk.  His wings ruffled in an anxious fashion before the moment presented itself for him to actually speak. ”An uncle Malphas huh?” He questioned, arcing a brow as the information washed over him. ”well he happens to be my father, so I guess that would make us...cousins?” His grin was toothy, burying hands into his pockets and just sighing deeply.

Well not the first time he find out he had new family.

Well she wasn’t new but new to him. ”Good to meet family that doesn’t want me dead. Just hoping it stays that way. Sounds like I got an uncle to meet now,” The city continued loudly around them but it happened. Keeping control of his emotions was easy enough, he had plenty of practice with that.  ”guess we need to catch up, right cuz?”
