Ok well, this was inspired by a roleplay me and a friend had. So we decided to make a story out of it. This is the ONE and ONLY time I will warn you about this story. So pay close attention:
1.) If you are homophobic, then don't read Cause I don't want any flames just because there is a gay guy or girl in this. Flaming me because my skills suck, I would understand. Don't do it just because you are close-minded though.
2.) If you have a problem and for some reason I offend your religion, not sure how but, then I'm sorry. It's just a story. It was not meant to be struck out at you. Get over it and move on in life.
3.) This story will be full of angst. Cause I love angst. Love it to death. I love how it seems like they EARNED the happy ending. Not that it's some fairy tale and they were born into the world where everyone loves them. SO PREPARE TO ABANDON ALL HOPE!
4.) There will be some pretty violent scenes in here. I will put a prewarning at the start of certain chapters that I feel are a bit...bloody? Violent? Gory? Something like that.
5.) There's gonna be cursing and sexual themes. I doubt most people mind the cursing, so long as it isn't all the curse words strung together in one sentence. And there are going to be REFERENCES to sexual themes. I'm NOT gonna write a sex scene.
That being said, and off my chest, I give you the Prolouge of Angel Epidemic. Chapter One will be out some time later.

Angel Epidemic
Prologue -
It was a long time ago when the angels, humans, and demons had lived together in this universe. Not in a very peaceful way mind you, but still they lived together. It was not long though when individuals from the three races rose up, feeling that theirs’ was the superior race and with this feeling, power and supporters swept to them. It was about five years later-- once the three leaders felt they had gained enough strength-- that the war began and the unstable peace was forever shattered.
The brutal and bloody war lasted for over hundreds of years until finally they came upon an agreement. The leaders--seeing as how the three were too evenly matched against one another—formed a resolution. With the signing of this peace treaty, three new worlds were made.
Hidden up above the clouds was where the angels dwelled. An unknown and mystical civilization in the sky, later called “Heaven”.
The demons, liking the shadows more than the bright light, dug deep into the rich soil and created their world in the core. It is there that their civilization ruled. The light was rare down in those depths—save for the bloodied light of the fire--and thus “Hell” was created.
The humans, however--unable to handle the immense pressure of the light or dark-- settled themselves on the surface of the world. The Neutral land between sky and rock. It came to be called “Earth”.
Now it has been over four thousand years and the boundaries remain the same. Over time the uneasiness has grown. As the races began slipping into each other’s worlds In Heaven, Demons and Humans were shunned; sometimes attacked and killed. That same rule applied whether one was in the Earthen Realm or in the Fiery Chasms deep underground. Each race despising one another for their birth…
It was about Five Hundred years ago that the disease was created. It was made by the Humans, a trump card against the other two races. While Humans had neither wings nor magical ability, they had wit and resources which they put to good use. What they lacked in strength and magic they made up for with knowledge and cunning. The disease was simple, and it came in stages.
The first stage symptoms are hard to detect, in fact they are impossible to detect. The most that happens is perhaps a sniffle or two, maybe a slight loss of weight and appetite. The only thing that would come to mind was mostly a mood swing.
The second stage symptoms are similar to that of a cold. Headaches, some nausea, Stuffy nose, Runny nose, Sore throat, Loss of voice. Those kinds of troubles. Most leave it unchecked, considering they believe it to be nothing more than the flu; which even angels and demons can catch.
Two-thirds notice the disease around the third stage. It contains symptoms such as: A burning sensation in the wings or horns, extreme pain and discomfort, old wounds reopening, rapid blood loss, sudden loss of energy, and lack of senses; such as temporary blindness. This stage only lasts about three weeks, at most, while the other stages last about four to six months each.
The final stage is the finishing blow; as the creator who made it was fond of slow and painful deaths. Once one reaches this stage of the disease there is less than a five percent chance of survival. The wings and/or horns wilt away. It is a slow process of decay that targets the race’s source of power.
Each race has its weakness. For the humans it is their heart; literally and non-literally as they can be susceptible to betrayal and be killed with a blade through the chest. The angels have they’re wings to thank for their grace, which is why some choose to hide their wings in their backs. Each Demon’s weakness is its horns. Whether long or short, many others branching off or a solo set, they developed the ability to hide their horns as the angels hide their wings; though theirs’ recede into their skulls.
When subjected to the disease, whether they are covered or not, the weak point of Angels and Demons will wilt away. Keeping them exposed brings about a higher chance of the disease spreading slower--though they would be at a high risk of being attacked, as another war waits upon the edge of a knife. One final push is all it would take for the worlds to plunge back into the times of blood spray and war.
Now as the disease continues to spread the two races search in desperation for a cure. The only hope to finding it lies somewhere on the Earth…
