Chapter 403: Two For One
Bishop looked at me, confused. I had to say, it was a cute look on him... like a little puppy that was trying to figure out what its owner was saying.
"I don’t understand. How is that possible?" asked Bishop, tailing along beside me. Now that I knew what to look for, I could see Tank using the shadow to remain invisible.
"Well, you see, when little demons don’t want to die, even when they are being naughty and deserve death, they escape Hell by any means necessary. Now, Hell isn’t that nice of a place. So the demons all die, leaving behind a little seed that looks like a dandelion seed. Those seeds managed to be pushed out when Hell imploded, and they came to Earth. Those who landed on a human were happy and buried in as deep as possible into the human. Those seeds that weren’t so lucky, those that landed on something not human, had to wait there until a human came by. They are kind of like ticks. But instead of taking blood, they consume the human soul and either bond or take over."
I knew that I was rambling, but I was having fun, so I really didn’t care if Bishop could understand what I was actually trying to say.
"Réne? Alicia? Sophia?" muttered Bishop. Coming to a complete stop, I turned around until I was staring at the angel.
"Are you hoping to give yourself an excuse?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. I had to admit, I was a bit disappointed if that was the case. I thought he was going down this whole revenge path, but if he wasn’t committed...
Well, I had enough men with commitment issues; I didn’t need more.
"No," replied Bishop quickly. "I was just wondering how that worked."
"Each demon belongs to a subcategory," I said, turning away from the man. "They are all classified under their Sin, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t intermingle. And I haven’t gotten close enough to those three to actually see their seeds. But the demon inside of them? It can’t possess them. Not really. They have to have some sort of connection. You can’t use demon seeds as an excuse for bad behavior."
