Once again, this week I’m doing some short, unedited, conversational
flash fiction scene. Hope you enjoy.

Doris watched as her daughter walked into the flames of
hell. Her hand had not left her chest since the day her daughter told her she
was going to learn from her grandfather, the destroying angel, Abaddon. Doris
had left that aspect behind her the day she met Jeff. She’d not looked back since
that day. She had known the moment she saw Jeff sipping a cup of coffee under
the light green umbella that he was the one for her. A year after that she gave
birth to Cami and Jeff demanded that his daughter not be involved in the demon
world until she graduated and could gain an understanding of what it meant for
her life. Doris had hoped that Cami never decided to learn that aspect of her
life, but Abaddon had made sure his daughter viewed the demon world as magical,
fun, full of loyal friends awaiting her. Doris wished that had been true, but
she had grew up there. She knew that most demons were unkind, down right
deadly, to half human, half demons. Didn’t matter to those that a demon was
daughter to Abaddon. Nope, they would only view her as an abadomination to the
demon world.
“Will she come back to us?” Jeff took her hand squeezing. “She
will be fine.”
“How can you ask such a question then tell me she will be
fine?”
“Positive thinking.”
Doris chuckled. “Only you could drive away my cloudy mood.”
“That’s my job.”
Doris sighed and turned away as the firey gate consumed her
daughter and her white wings. “That’s what we need. Positivity. Trust.”
“Trust?”
“Yes. Father promised to protect her.”
“Thought demons didn’t care who her granddad was?”
“Some won’t.”
“How will he keep her away from those?”
“Not sure.” Doris squeezed his hand and turned them towards
the back porch. “All we can do is hope and trust in my father.”
