The room was oval in shape, much like an egg standing on end. The shimmering
opaque walls showed no visible entrances or exits, but in the the center of
the domed ceiling was a star-shaped opening through which the warm, eternal
light of heaven flooded in, adding to the impression that the whole room was
a flower petal about to bloom. The room was empty, except for a large pile of
pillows in the center of the floor. The pillows were many times softer than
any pillow on earth had ever been and will ever be; lying on those was like
lying on a cloud. And on those pillows rested the owner of this room: the
celestial being known as Angelissa. Her skin was smooth and white as
alabaster, her body slender and in perfect shape. Her four white wings were
all but hidden in the soft pillows that supported her comfortably, as was her
long golden hair. Her only piece of garment was a white silken robe that was
loosely wrapped around her body.
 Suddenly the wall rippled like water, and another angel stepped through as if
it didn't exist at all. The second angel was no less beautiful, yet she looked
quite different. Her skin was brown, and her hair black. She had wings just
like Angelissa did, except that she only had a single pair. She was also clad
in a robe, but hers was blue like the sky. A few paces brought her to
Angelissa, while behind her the wall returned to normal.
 Angelissa smiled to her visitor, "Hello Sarina!"
"Ah, Angelissa, you're back!", the other replied, "Who was the lucky one this
time?"
"A dragon called Emerald.", Angelissa giggled, "I lived for quite a while
inside him."
Sarina shivered slightly, "Brr. I don't see what you like about being trapped
in a hungry stomach..."
"You should try it too.", Angelissa grinned, "Who knows, you may even like it."
The black-haired angel shook her head, "No, not try it... But... next time you
get eaten alive... may I watch?"
Angelissa raised an eyebrow at the request, "Well, sure. So you are
interested?"
Sarina looked down for a moment, "To be honest, yes. I've been thinking about
it for a while, and I'd really like to see you being devoured... I don't think
I'd like to be eaten myself, but I just want to see what it is like..."
"Well, I was going to play with a carnivorous plant next.", Angelissa told her
friend, "You can watch if you want, and perhaps join me if you're up to it."
The dark-skinned angel giggled nervously, both in fear and anticipation,
"Maybe... We'll see... So when do we leave?"
"Right now.", Angelissa replied and snapped her fingers. The next moment, the
two heavenly beings were gone.
 "...Are you really going to feed yourself to that thing?", Sarina asked,
looking up at the giant carnivorous plant.
Angelissa nodded, "Yes, of course."
The plant looked a lot like a Venus fly trap, except that it was many times
larger and it had strong but slender tentacles in addition to its trapper
leaves. The plant had five traps, and all five were open and empty. The
tentacles swayed around in search of prey, and the red interior of each
trapper leaf was glistening with juices.
The dark-haired angel shivered uncomfortably, "It looks so scary."
"I admit it looks menacing.", Angelissa said in a soft voice, "But it has
eaten me before, and I can assure you, the inside of those leaves is almost
as soft as my pile of pillows back home."
"But doesn't it hurt?", Sarina asked, looking the plant over again.
Angelissa shook her head, "No. It doesn't chew or anything. Those acids sting
a little, but it's actually a pleasant feeling. You just sort of go to sleep
and awake back home."
"I'll... just watch.", Sarina replied, taking a few steps back.
 Angelissa smiled to her friend, and then calmly walked forwards, into the
reach of the searching tendrils. Immediately one of them wrapped around her
ankle. More followed, entwining her legs, arms and even her wings. The
tendrils squirmed all over her body, hugging her, as if the plant thanked her
for being its prey. Angelissa saw Sarina looking at her with a mixture of
horror and excitement, and quickly smiled at her friend. Below her, the
largest of the trapper leaves opened wide like a yawning maw, glistening
juices flowing over its velvety red interior like saliva. Suddenly the plant
released her, causing her to plummet right into the open trap, which
immediately snapped shut on her, causing the watching Sarina to wince
slightly. The leaf began making slow, chewing motions, one of Angelissa's
legs still sticking out.
 Sarina stood transfixed as the carnivorous plant slowly consumed her friend,
and didn't notice the movement in the underbrush behind her. Suddenly a thick
red snake-like object wrapped twice around her waist, and she was yanked
backwards before she could even scream. She had closed her eyes in a reflex,
but after falling on her winged back, she opened them again, looking up at a
large, bulbous creature. To her surprise, the giant frog released her, pulling
its tongue back into its wide mouth. Then, it spoke.
 "Hey, you're not the angel I expected.", the frog said in a low, but still
female voice.
Sarina gulped, then slowly sat up, "W... who're you?"
"My name is Dai.", the frog replied, "I'm a friend of Angelissa. Is she here?
I though I heard her voice. That's why I caught you. I'm sorry."
The black-haired angel nodded and pointed to the plant. "She's in there..."
Dai looked at the plant, which still moved like it was chewing its prey. A
few drops of a clear fluid escaped the pod, steam rising up where they hit
the ground.
"I'm Sarina, also a friend of Angelissa.", Sarina continued, "I was watching
her get devoured..."
The frog looked back at her, "Hmm, so you're at least interested... Well,
after seeing it, would you like to try it yourself?"
Sarina found herself nodding quickly to Dai.
 Meanwhile, Angelissa was enjoying her demise. The soft red inner walls held
her snugly, occasionally squeezing her. She was lying stretched out on her
back, her wings tucked underneath. Her robe was full of holes, the result of
the sticky acidic sap that the plant released on her slender form. It tingled
all over her, dissolving her soft flesh very slowly. Angelissa knew she would
live for hours while the plant digested her like its smaller cousins would
digest a big juicy fly.
 Outside, Sarina had found a very comfortable seat: the frog queen's wide open
mouth. While it couldn't compare to her golden throne in heaven, Sarina found
the soft wet flesh of the frog's maw to be very comfortable to sit in, and
slowly her initial nervousness left her. Slowly the frog swallowed her firm
little butt, forcing her to bend until her knees were against her chest.
Dai's tongue wrapped firmly around the angelic morsel, gradually pulling
her in. Sarina felt the welcoming warmth of the frog's interior creeping up,
accepting her.
 She smiled, "Now I know why Angelissa likes this so much..."
She looked at the green pod that held her friend, but apart from a few
feathers sticking out, there wasn't much to see. Dai kept swallowing slowly,
her wide mouth now holding most of the brown-skinned angel. Sarina felt her
wings being pushed up by the frog's lips. She felt her butt slipping further
down, the comfortable warmth spreading more. Her face was pushed between her
legs as Dai prepared for the final gulp, and then suddenly the world
vanished as the queen of frogs swallowed her whole. Dai waited a moment while
the angel settled in her stomach, then slowly sucked the white wings in,
finishing her meal.
 Inside the plant, Angelissa was now naked; her robe had disintegrated. Her
skin tingled strongly but not painfully, and she could no longer feel her
wings. Suddenly she felt Sarina touching her mind, seeking contact.
 ~Angelissa, are you still alive?~
~Yes, but not for long. My wings have dissolved, and it's only a matter of
time before the rest of me follows.~
~I'm inside your friend Dai. It's warm and wet in here.~
~You let Dai eat you? That's cool! Did you enjoy it?~
~Oh yes... Mmm, I think my wings are dissolving as well...~
~You should squirm a bit. Dai likes that. And it helps her digest you.~
~Mmm, getting sleepy... See you back home?~
~Of course. Sleep well, Sarina.~
~You too, Angelissa...~
 Knowing that all was well, Angelissa closed her eyes and fell asleep. Slowly
her mortal body vanished as the plant digested her and absorbed the nutrients.
 Dai felt a pleasant squirming in her stomach, but it didn't last long. After
she was sure the angel inside her had passed out, she carefully hopped into
the bushes, in search for a good place to sit down and digest her meal.
