They sent an angel, of course. They did every year, and the angels fluttered back with broken wings, pearlescent skin chipped like old porcelain. It was easy enough to repair the cracks that leaked blood like quicksilver, to mend the fingers bound in strips of cloth where sections had gone missing. But the angels were never quite the same again. Their eyes darker, warier, like pearls dipped in ink. Their golden hearts a pale dying amber within their translucent chests.
(Sometimes at night, you can pass a clump of the ones that have been sent down, clinging together, their sleep interspersed with screams, wordless sounds like the child-cry of

.Scorned Angel.
...Help me...
I'm locked in this place. Tormented and alone. With my head lulling against the soft white fabric of the walls. I'm listening to the screaming coming from the other rooms. The sounds of anguish, hate and lunacy.
...Free me...
I don't want to stay here. Not in this place. Not with these people. They think I'm mad, crazy. But I know that's not true. They are the crazy one's here. Not me.
...Don't judge me...
Just set be free. I promise I'll be a good boy. No more killing, no more raping. No more death at my hands. But please, please. Get me out of here, let me go. I swear I'll change.
...Don't keep me here...

The Angel and the Darkness
Heaven weeps for its daughter
While Hell rejoices its son.
A star falls to the Abyss,
Yet still shines on.
Oh Angel in the darkness,
Dancing for your one true love.
Star among the ashes,
Your only sin was love.
Through darkness and through fire
She's traveled to your side.
Lord of dark and demons,
You have claimed your bride.
Oh Angel in the night,
Laying in his arms.
Caught in his eyes of embers,
Your only sin was love.
Hands so stained with blood
Caress the innocent skin.
In his heart lies only her,
In hers there's only him.
Oh Angel in the fire,
Bathed in flaming light.
You've fallen far from home,
Though your only

I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, I've seen, twilight
Twilight- Vanessa Carlton
There has always been something hauntingly soothing to the song "Twilight." It hints at a moment of redemption, of the feeling of wings being spread. It's that song that I listen too when I feel truly hopeless.
It seems fitting that I write a story based on it from my Lucifer's perspective. Aftiel is indeed the name given to the Angel of Twilight- though little else is ever mentioned about her. I see her as the soothing of the day, and the embrace of night. I can imagine her quiet soul utterly confusing poor Luc.
Am I cruel in that I enjoy his confusion?
Still, it is dedicated only to twilight Aftiel.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI really enjoyed this piece of writing and think you made a good choice by telling it from Lucifer's perspective.
Your description of Aftiel humming quietly to herself paints a beautiful picture of her. The use of that description again at the end of this piece is very effective and rounds off the story.
"After all, we were merely angelic in nature, not saintly, and each of us had our own personal sin." - I especially enjoyed this idea from Lucifer's perspective.
"I still am unsure " - I would probably change this to I am still unsure. It just made me stumble each time I read it.
"sin, itself" - the comma can be removed.
Overall, this was an entertaining read and I look forward to reading more of your work.
