Y/N POV

I shifted to the middle of the new territory. In the middle of the street. I wasn't gonna hide until the time was right, because it was the right time now. I released my hold on my power and let it go. The first thing I did was in case the whole area in my protective bubble, I didn't need any more hounds coming to find me. 

As people saw my dark form, they ran for their lives. I liked the way their fear made me feel. It was amazing. I whipped my head around, looking for Valentino's main skyscraper. I found it, easily enough. I shot into the air and raced towards it, like a knife through the wind. As soon as I reached the side of the building, I flew straight up. My left hand brushing against the smooth windows of the skyscraper. I landed at the very top and admired the view. 

It was a beautiful morning, but one that I would soon destroy. I brought my scythe towards the sky and held it towards the top of the bubble. Lightning began to surround it. I flew into the air as it attracted more. Soon, a huge ball of energy was being held up by my staff.

 I shot through the air, with my scythe still attached to the huge ball of energy. I swung and brought it down on the building with all my might. It cut through the building like butter. I continued to fly down with the energy escaping around me, my scythe still cutting through the building. 

Debris was flying all around me. I felt pieces of glass cut my cheeks but I didn't care. I stopped when I got close to the ground. I didn't want to try and cut the ground open. I released my hold on the energy still contained in the staff and felt it flow around me. It wrapped around my wings, but I didn't feel a thing. My wings looked like they were holding the energy. My horns grew from my head and my smile grew wider. "Finally, I'm warmed up."

Even though I had surrounded the territory with a protective bubble, I still wasn't completely alone. Thugs, most of which were wolves or demons (that had no discernable breed), swarmed from the surrounding buildings. Their faces were clothed in fear, but they still held up their guns. I laughed at their little advances. I felt the bullets fly past me, but they bounced off the electricity surrounding me.

"You're going to have to try a little harder than that!" I flew down towards them at breakneck speed. They didn't even have time to move out of the way. I swung my scythe at the surrounding crowd of thugs. They fell to the ground in seconds, like insects just hit with a fly swatter. I shot back up into the air to avoid the carnage on the ground. 

I flew around the surrounding areas, looking for more thugs trying to fight back. I spied figures in an alley and decided to investigate as a shadow. If it was just a few frightened civilians, I would leave them alone. As I got closer, I heard someone shouting in a raspy voice, "Get on the ground and give me your money now!" He had an angel knife in each of his hands. I saw a herd of demons on the ground. A small voice spoke up.

"Please, we don't have anything right now! It's not with us." The one speaking looked like a little red devil. She had a charming southern accent

"BULLSHIT!" He yelled at her and grabbed her neck. I looked closer at the group and saw that they were all small imp-like demons and one wolf, but the wolf didn't look like a threat. The man had taken their guns and had started cornering them.

I stepped out of the shadows and into my regular form. "Sorry to interrupt your little shenanigans, but I believe this is now my territory. And I don't put up with dicks like you." I laughed as his eyes widened. He dropped the small devil and ran around the corner of the alley. I hummed a small tune and my vines dragged him back. He tugged at the ones holding his neck. 

I brought him up to my height and my smile grew wider. "How does it feel to be the one on the other side of the knife?" His eyes widened as he realized I plucked the knife from one of my vines. I plunged the knife into his heart and had the vines drop his body. I opened a small void, ensuring he would never come back.

I turned back towards the group of small demons and put on a friendly smile. Another small, red demon rushed towards the one the man had choked. The little-lady demon looked up with a weak smile. "Thank you."

I nodded my head at her, "Anytime, If you hadn't realized, I don't like bullies much." I glanced at the two others still huddled in the corner. The one red imp held its hand out across the wolf, like it was trying to protect her. "If you'll excuse me, I have some territory to finish taking over." I let out a small laugh and flew into the air. The figures quickly disappeared as I flew higher. 

I quickly killed the last few remaining hounds with only a hum. Their guns were no match for my voice. I spied another news truck on the outside of the bubble I had created. They were trying to get a good shot of my destruction. I leaned down next to one of the thugs I had killed and searched his pockets. 

I pulled his phone out and stowed it away. I would go through it later to delete everything. This was the cheapest way to get a phone. I decided I would not go up to the news van this time. I didn't want to seem media-hungry. 

I looked up towards the ruined building and decided to get rid of it. I didn't need a whole mess on my new territory. I opened a void and decided to use one of Al's tricks. I only used my indigo vines instead of the tentacles. They quickly cleaned up the mess and I was left with an empty plot of dirt. 

There was nothing else left to do with the territory, seeing as I already claimed it. So, I shot up into the air and released the bubble surrounding the area. I shifted back to Al's, mid-flight.

 I shifted into the foyer and found myself shooting towards the wall. I had forgotten to slow down. I yelped in fear and flapped my wings, trying to slow myself down before I hit the wall full of antlers. I was going to impale myself. Suddenly, something hit me out of the way, knocking me to the ground. It knocked the air out of me. 

I opened my eyes and found Al's surprised eyes looking into mine. He was on top of me, while my wings were wrapped around both of us, in a protective stance. He brought his thumb up and rubbed some of the cuts on my face. Almost like he was made they were there. His smile grew as he saw my cheeks growing red. 

To get out of this incredibly awkward situation, I shifted out from underneath him and landed right behind him on the stairs. "Thanks for saving me, Al." I laughed and leaned back against the stairs, breathing hard. 

The hood fell from my head as my horns went back to their normal size. I swiped my hair from off my neck and to the side. He chuckled and looked back at me. "It seems like I've saved you a lot lately."

I thought back and realized the number of times he had caught me. "You're right," I laughed. "It has been a lot."

We laughed, remembering back to all the times he had caught me from falling, and then he changed the subject. "How was the takeover? Did you enjoy it?"

"Oh, immensely." I got up from my seat on the stairs. "This one was much more fun. I got to literally slice a building in half." 

"Is that what happened? I was wondering why the ground was shaking." He feigned a thinking pose and then looked back down at me. Even from my spot on the stairs, he was still taller than me. "I was surprised when I came back and you weren't here, my dear." 

"I just needed to release some of my powers. It felt like the right time." We made small talk for a couple of minutes more, and then I excused myself to clean up. I could feel some of the blood on my face. On the way up, I started to clean out the thug's phone. I had gotten away to talk to Angel. I walked into my room while blocking all the previous numbers and then wiping all of the data. 

The sound it made was absolutely awful. While I wiped the card, I decided to hop into the shower. It felt nice to wash the smell of blood and destruction off of me. After, I stood in my closet, deciding what to wear. I found a white fuzzy sweater, that I didn't remember buying with Angel, and black leggings. The sweater had overlapping fabric in the back, so if I needed to, my wings could fit without ripping the fabric. 

Grabbing the phone, I went to walk out the bathroom door. But before I opened it, I heard the window break. I hurried and turned into my shadow form, worried about what had just happened. I walked through the bathroom wall and found that the Imp that had been protecting the wolf was snooping through my room.

 He had what looked like a white birthmark covering one of his eyes. He had a sniper in his hand and was looking around the room. No one else entered through the window, so I decided to surprise him.

 I turned into my regular form behind me, but he still hadn't noticed me. With a few hums, I knocked the rifle out of his hand. He turned towards me, and I saw fear and annoyance flash through his eyes. He raised his hands in defeat.

I felt a small smile form on my face. "Hmm...I saw you today. You were that Imp who was protecting the wolf in the alley!" My eyes filled with a hint of violence and my voice got serious. "What are you doing here?"

 "Fuck me," he whispered quietly under his breath. In a calmer voice, he continued. "I promise I can explain! It's not what you think!"

"What do you think is going through my head right now?"

"Probably that I was breaking into your room to try and kill you, but that's not what was happening."

"That's exactly what it looks like."

"Please just take me downstairs and everything will be explained."

Suddenly, the room felt like it was turning to static. My thoughts immediately raced to Al. My wings released and spread across the room. Terror filled the little imp's eyes. I quickly tied his hands behind his back with my vines. "If you did anything to Alastor, you are going to regret it."
