*Peyton pops her head out of Vienna’s tote bag and inhales sharply, taking in as much air as she can.*

Damn! It was gettin’ stuffy in there!

*She crawls all the way out and takes a look around. It’s a picturesque day at the beach; groups of friends, couples, and families can be seen swimming, laughing, playing, and just downright having a good time.*

So, this is Heaven, huh? This is how the other half lives? -💅🏼

*She flicks her tail back and forth. She can almost see the appeal of a place like this.*

@sinner-peyton

Yes, that's where I lived most of my afterlife. I miss those peaceful days a little.

[Vienna smiles and scratches Peyton between her ears.]

Want to look around, dear? Maybe some ice cream? A milkshake? Water?

[She gasped.]

You didn't forget your swimsuit, did you?.. -🌸

The Powers That Be didn't give me a raise but they gave me a paid vacation day.

At least I'll be away from any possible head-inducing work incidents here at the beach.

Ray rushed into the medbay, closing the door behind her. She paid no mind to the current patients, as most of them had minor injuries and some had surgeries scheduled for tomorrow.

She walked into her room and closed the door, closing her eyes and letting out a sigh of relief.

Boo. Grace's voice cut through the silence.

Ray's eyes opened, backing against the door in fear. Shit. Right. She can teleport. Yay.

Aw, why so afraid, darling? Grace steps closer, taking one of Ray's wrists and pinning her against the wall.

You know I would never hurt you...

The seraph sinks her fangs into Ray's neck, causing the latter to bite her lip as to not show it hurts. She soon lets go of the exorcist's neck, whispering in a low voice. See? Didn't hurt a bit...

Grace janks Ray away from the door, throwing her onto the ground.

Her caring tone is gone, replaced by a harsh one. You useless bastard. You think I wouldn't see you, flirting behind my back? With Sarai, of all people?

Dis swim-shit still sucks, but maybe not dat much.

After leaving V behind on the beach, Ray made her way back to her room in the medbay. She sat down in front of her mirror and undid her ponytail, starting to brush her hair. The medic placed the hairpin she got from V onto a cabinet.

Her attention got caught by a soft sound of footsteps. Ray looked up, just to see her standing behind her through the mirror. Shit.

Hey... Grace... What can I help you with? She mumbled anxiously, not putting down her hairbrush just so she could fiddle with something to calm her nerves.

Mmh, Ray, darling, why aren't you at the beach? Surely you wouldn't want to miss that? Grace said in a sickeningly sweet tone. She traced her finger along Ray's shoulders, the latter shivering.

... Actually, I'm not going to attend. I'd rather stay here and re-organise the medical supplies. Ray whispered. She felt Grace's grip on her shoulders tightening. The exorcist slowly started to try and get the hairpin, but slow enough as to not get Grace's attention.

Isn't that a little boring, darling? The seraph's eyes flicked over to the hairpin. Her eyes were sharp as a hawk's, there was no way she didn't notice Ray's attempt to grab it. What's that? She asked in a dangerously low tone.

... A gift. From my friend.

Mmh, must've been a bad friend. You don't even like hair accessories. How about I just- Grace picked up the hairpin and crushed it. Ray bit her lip. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.

Now listen to me. You're attending that beach day, whether you like it or not. I'll get mad if you don't. You don't like it when I'm mad, do you? She said the last bit in a sickening baby voice. The exorcist grimaced.

Of course. I'll get changed right away. I'm sorry, Grace.

Mmh, good girl. Grace patted Ray's head, before teleporting away again. As soon as Grace was gone, Ray took what was left of the hairpin and clutched it to her chest. A tear rolled down her cheek.

I'm sorry, V.
