Four months before first term...
(Angel's POV)
I shifted the shopping bags up more on my shoulders as I walked into the place I've been calling 'home', an old rehab hotel that another out shone, now my own... well more like sharing it with my 'friends'. I walked in to see Gamer and Death near the pool table playing. Since I work as 'demon-in-waiting' for Aristomache and Jackal, Gamer works in a voodoo shop and Death ran his own casino and bar. I dropped the bags in the kitchen and walked over to the boys, Death won the game "Every fucking time!" "Don't worry Gamer, it just means I'm better than you~" "Like Hell! Angel, who's better? Me or Death?" "I don't even think you guys are great at all to be honest" I said, crossing my arms. Death lifted my chin with his hand "I'd think you'll disagree~" I slapped his hand away "Don't you ever think you can control me like that again. I'm not the demon you met years ago" I hissed as Death slowly backed away. "Jez, what's got your demon screaming?" Gamer asked, leaning on the pool table "You two have already got accepted into E.U, I haven't gotten my letter yet and my unlife depends on that letter. Getting into E.U means that I will no longer be punished for your fucking crimes against the Royal family, this is my get out of jail free card and I really need it" Gamer looked at Death as Death shook his head. "Don't do it" "Don't do what?" I hissed at them "U-um, say something smart ass or stupid, that's what he meant" Gamer stuttered "Oh well look at that, I left my headphones at the casino, Death let's go over and get them" "But they're right there-" "Do you want to stay here?" Gamer harshly whispered "Um... I'll get casino keys" Death grabbed the keys and they both ran out the door "...fucking assholes..." I grabbed the hotel keys, walked out the front door, locking it and took a quick short-cut to the voodoo shop. Why am I going there? My friend Akire Shards lives there. I walked into the shop to the counter and rang the little desk bell "We're not fucking open you piece of shit! Fuck off to the hole you crawled out of!" someone yelled from the back of the shop "I'll fuck off after the bitch I call a friend comes out here and says a proper fucking hello!" "Angel! Come around back" Akire yelled, I walked into the back of the shop to see Akire bent over a hexing book "Bitch, I was working on an order, but it's always good to see you... and have help, can you pour a bit of holy water into that bowl" "Sure". I grabbed a bottle of holy water and poured it into the bowl then drank a bit out of the bottle "Angel! That's holy water!" "And yet everyone keeps forgetting that it doesn't hurt me" I groaned, placing it back on the shelf "You should really stop pushing your luck with holy water, if you drink it front of the wrong demon or devil and they're gonna start thinking your an angel" Akire warned. "Yeah, yeah, keep it a secret so no one kills me, again" "And everyone is still suspicious about you after the whole 'saving the angel' incident, some think you've gone soft-" "Only for that angel, everyone else gets no second chances like the example I made on those TorturThreat Clan dickheads who were gonna hurt the angel, there's nothing else to it" I hissed "Okay! Okay! My fucking god, what are you doing here anyway?" Akire groaned, turning a page of her hexing book. "My E.U letter still hasn't come yet, Death and Gamer already got accepted and there's four months until first term of E.U starts... all that work and training went to waste" "Well, at least you tried, you can apply next year-" "The council isn't gonna give me another chance, I could be dead before E.U allows new applications... guess my fate is already sealed. You guys get to leave hell for as long as you want and get to graduate as egos and live with the humans in the human realm while I'm stuck here being tortured" I walked over to the shop door "I'll see ya next week".

I walked back to the hotel, now walking around the second floor until I walked past Gamer's room, his door wide open "What have you've been up to?" I whispered to myself, walking into his room. There was papers everywhere, open books and notes, Gamer did a lot of work to pass the exams, he locked himself in his room for three weeks to work before doing his exams- "What are you?" I picked up an unopened envelope off his desk, reading the front of it- "THOSE FUCKING ASSHOLES!"....
