Heavenly Bodies:

Simone’s Notes:

Innocence is a term that describes the lack of guilt of an individual, with respect to a crime. It may also be used to indicate a general lack of guilt, with respect to any kind of crime, sin, or wrongdoing. It can also refer to a state of unknowing, where one's experience is lesser, in either a relative view to social peers, or by an absolute comparison to a more common normative scale. In contrast to ignorance, it is generally viewed as a positive term, connoting a blissfully positive view of the world, in particular one where the lack of knowledge stems from a lack of wrongdoing, whereas greater knowledge comes from doing wrong. This connotation may be connected with a popular false etymology explaining "innocent" as meaning "not knowing".

The day went by fast. The incubi and succubi were celebrating the breaking of a new slave. Edward still seemed to have little bits of human in his soul. He felt a slight bit of guilt about who and what he had become. The alchemist just couldn’t think straight with this liability. The innocence within kept screaming loudly in his mind. Edward had no choice but to try and silence it. There was only one way to do so.

By nightfall, Edward found himself right at Derdra’s door. Every inch of monster was gone away from his soul. All that was left was a heavy curtain of child innocence. The only evidence of his change was the fallen mark on his neck. He couldn’t explain what happened to make this change. He just went good and soft when he was around the junior nurse. Derdra always had this affect on him. She seemed to play his angel to his growing demon. The door opened wide. Edward looked up to see Derdra staring right at him. She was dressed in a simple white nightie and dark pink panties. Her dark black hair was down and all around. The nurse was rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Edward just couldn’t help but to smile at her angelic appearance. The nurse opened her eyes looked at him slightly confused.

“Edward!” she breathed out in shock. “What are you doing here so late?” The alchemist didn’t answer at all. He just rushed forward and kissed her deeply on the lips. The nurse didn’t even try to resist him. Ed seemed to have a powerful effect on her as well. She shrank back against the nearest wall behind her. Edward pinned his strong body up against hers. Through their kisses, he wanted to act upon his savage feelings upon her. But something just wouldn’t let him do so. The innocent child in him on deep high.

Derdra quickly led him back to her bedroom. She dropped back on her bed like an excited hooker. Edward huddled over her likewise. The mood had dropped down from hot and steamy to somber and sweet. Derdra noticed the change right away in his eyes.

“Edward,” she murmured in a soft voice. The incubus looked down at her.

“Yes Dee?” he asked her softly.

“There’s something different about,” the nurse went on. “Have you changed your hair or something?” Then, it hit her slowly. Fear and love mixed in her soul like two different buckets of house paint spilled out on the floor. Her mouth slowly panted to speak. Edward lightly put his finger to her sweet honey lips.

“Shhh!” he whispered to her. “Don’t be afraid of me, my love. I don’t wish to hurt you tonight.” Derdra was still surprised. She just couldn’t shake the feeling of something sinister about her sexy friend. Edward waited until she was calm enough to talk to her. Once she was lying still under him, the incubus removed his finger from her lips. She looked up at him quietly. The nurse noticed that he had some sorrow in his eyes. Edward lightly held her small hand.

“Derdra,” he said in a small voice. “I have done some things I am not proud of.” The nurse looked at him slightly worried.

“What do you mean?” she asked in a small choking voice. Edward’s eyes began to slowly fill with tears. His heart was aching from the sin and guilt that her sweet little face had stirred up again. Pain rose up in his throat like a bubble to the surface. He had to get out the truth or it would tear him to pieces on the inside.

Edward looked away quickly. Derdra eyed him slightly confused.

“What’s wrong, Edward?” she asked in a hushed voice. Her f**k buddy didn’t answer at first. Then he turned to her with tears in his eyes.

“I’m so sorry!” Edward blurted out. “I have done things I am not proud of!” Derdra opened her mouth to speak again, but the alchemist held her hand tightly to his chest.

“No!” Edward said quickly. “Just listen to me!” Afraid of what he could do to her, Derdra nodded quickly. The incubus held her hand even tighter. Derdra lightly winced in pain at the pressure of her hand from his automail hand. He took in a painful deep breath.

“I... have killed many women,” Edward bravely let out. Derdra was about to speak again, but he stopped her abruptly. The nurse closed her mouth and kept looking at him. Edward drew in another deep breath and began to speak again.

“You know all of those cases that the military have been working on for a solid month now?” he questioned her. The nurse nodded at him quickly. Edward fought his hardest to keep the growing monster inside of him at bay. He wanted to smile at his crimes as if it was a funny bad joke. Edward kept his left hand busy by lightly playing with her bangs.

“Oh god, it sickens me to say it,” the alchemist forced out of his mouth. “I killed those women! I seduced them, raped, drank their blood, and killed them.” Edward hung his head and shook it in misery. He moved her hand over to his pounding heart. Derdra felt her fingers going numb at the feeling of his heart pounding. She felt her own heart beating quickly. Edward leaned in and lightly kissed her on the lips. The taste was like addictive crack. The nurse kissed back without fighting. Ed lightly pulled away from her. The monster began to talk again.

“I treat my victims like they mean nothing to me,” he went on. “And the worst part is that I actually... enjoy my sins and crimes. Oh god I feel so guilty! I really wish I can take back everything that I have done. I wish... I can just forget it all!” The alchemist shut his eyes and turned his head to fight back his tears. Derdra softly smiled at him. She lightly reached up and lightly turned his face to her. Tears lightly fell on her nightie. The nurse gently stroked his cheek.

“It’s okay,” she whispered to him. “I forgive you.”

“But I am a monster, don’t you see?” Edward tried to reason like a scared little child. “Are you afraid me?” Derdra just shook her head. She lightly pulled him down to her so that he could just breathe her. The innocence was pushing back the monster in him really hard. His conscience was fighting for control with his lust in his mind. It was all an internal struggle. Derdra softly tagged his ear to her warm soft lips.

“It’s okay,” the nurse whispered again. “I’m not afraid of you. You are always forgiven in my eyes. I love you no matter what. Don’t forget that.” Edward swallowed hard and nodded at her tender little reminder. Derdra just kept smiling at him. Then she turned his face to hers and lightly kissed him on the lips. Edward was then consumed with a child-like lust. He kissed her back without warning. Right then, something strange began to take place. It was as if Edward’s sins were being washed away. He felt like a new man now. There was only one thing left to do.

Edward just let love and innocence guide him tonight. No room for raw passion tonight. The alchemist would just sweetly make love to his nurse tonight. He lightly began nibbling on her sweet neck. Derdra like moaned at the feel of his mouth on her neck. She sweetly shut her eyes in total happiness. The nurse held him tightly to her small body. Even though his monster-like instincts were starting up again, Edward did his best to ignore them. Derdra was pure and he wanted to keep her that way. He gently reached up and slid off her virgin white nightie. Her bare skin began to draw out the good and the bad within her screw buddy. The monster and the child were still fighting for control. This angel had no idea of what she was doing to him and his mind.

Edward slowly travelled back up to Derdra’s mouth. The taste of her lips were like life-giving water to him. He just couldn’t stop kissing her. Derdra wouldn’t let him. She knew that he needed her tonight to take away his pain and guilt. The nurse didn’t care what he how done, he was repenting by seeing her again and that was all that mattered. Edward reached down and slowly slid off her panties. The fangs in his mouth grew out quickly. He held her naked body tight to his. Her aura was high in his eyes tonight. The pink was hazing his vision beyond belief. The incubus was slowly getting drunk with love. But then a disturbing imagine came into his head as well. Edward could see all of the blood in her sweet veins. The monster in his head was fully aware of the view.

Yes Edward! It’s all there for you. Just take the bite! It’s right there for you! Come on, take the bite! Take the bite! Edward wanted to do so very badly... The incubus was just inches from her sweet hot flesh. But then... the alchemist stopped in his tracks. “What am I thinking?” he thought in complete innocence. “I can’t drink from her!” It was true. To drink a single drop of this angel’s blood, he would taint her. That was one sin that he could never forgive himself for. No! Edward just had to fight to keep Derdra pure at all costs. Even if it killed him in the end.

“Edward,” that pretty little angelic voice spoke up to him. The alchemist quickly returned back to earth and looked down. Derdra was looking up at him waiting.

“Edward, are you feeling alright?” she questioned him. He didn’t say anything at first. Then, he nodded slowly.

“Y-Yes,” he forced himself to say nervously. “Why?” The nurse just shrugged at him innocently as she smiled at him.

“Nothing,” Dee replied. “If you want to back out of this now...”

“No!” Edward said quickly in a rush. “I want this more than anything!” The nurse just politely sighed at her screw buddy.

“Alright,” she said. “Do as you like with me.” Edward began to smile child-like for the first time tonight.

“Thank you,” he said an barely audible voice. The nurse just reached up and lightly ran her fingers softly through his bangs. The alchemist leaned down and kissed her again.

Edward formed a shield for Derdra to protect her from himself. He went on to sweetly make love to her. The nurse just held onto him and let him pleasure to the fullest in any he could. She shut her eyes in sweet bliss. This was what she wanted after all. Just to have Edward in her arms once again even if it was only for one night. The incubus himself was overjoyed. This was the purest lovemaking he would ever experience in his life now. He just had to keep Derdra pure at all costs, no matter what. She was like his temple to him now. Her light always welcomed him with love and kindness. The alchemist just couldn’t ruin that for himself or her. Each kiss was a prayer to him. Each thrust from him was like a confession. He slowly worked his tongue into her sweet waiting mouth. Derdra moaned softly in his mouth. She even began rubbing on his bare shoulders. That caused Edward to moan loudly in his sweet angel’s lovely mouth and go even faster. Edward suddenly felt his own body rising. It he was as if he was flying. The heavy burdens of his crimes were being lifted away one by one and he was a new man again.

After a long while, Edward came. Derdra was so happy and worn out that she fell right asleep where she lay. The incubus smiled at her sweetly and kissed her on the lips one last time for the ear. He lightly leaned in close to her sweet burning ear.

“Sweet dreams, my love,” Edward whispered to her. Then he lightly covered her with the blanket and quietly left the room. The alchemist incubus had been forgiven. Now he could think straight again.
